@WouterB76 I heard a story that they had tried to recruit Richard Page back when David Hungate left, but he was already starting to have success with Mister Mister and had to turn it down.
What an unbelievably astounding group of musicians. Ringo is a tremendous drummer, singer, and legendary person. His choice of musicians to make up the band really is " All Starr". If the millennial group would pay attention to the gift of fine music, they could actually claim they can listen.
I'm not certain but I think he was touring with Billy Joel for many years. He's multi-instrumentalist but probably best with saxophone. Amazing musician.
@@JanBulin I never heard him do any of David's parts on Africa, in the 2000 summer tour Bobby was there for those parts as Jeff babko couldn't do them, and from 2003 to 2008 Greg phillinganes did those parts.
No surprise Richard Page was invited to become lead singer of one of most successful bands of all time anted Chicago. Also to become singer of toto band.
I don't get the criticism of Ringo. He's closer to 80 than he is to 70. I don't know many people who still work a full-time job at his age! I like seeing him enjoying himself with his friends and showcasing the astounding talents he puts together onstage all at the same time!
It's not about his age NOW. He was NEVER a good drummer. Period. He sucks. I think that back in the day, Starr was the dude who happened to have the drumkit and his parents let the Beatles use their garage or something. That's why they kept him. He was an awful drummer. I highly suspect that 80% of the drum work on Beatles albums wasn't Starr at all.
Ewout Honig he didn’t join them until just before they hit big. Pete Best was the original drummer. So, no...he wasn’t hanging out with them because his parents let them use their basement.
I took a bus from Baltimore to Pittsburgh just to see his show last year. It was one of the most unforgettable experiences I've ever had. His legend status is well earned.
@@Captain_Jack514 you are right. A historical concert because in addition to Ringo (Beatles) there were Steve Lukater (Toto) Gregg Roolie (Santana) Grahan Gouldnman (10 CC) and Colin Hay (Men at Work). It doesn't happens every day to see one of the Beatles on stage one of the founders of the Santana band that played in Woodstock.
Yes, you are right about that, I think it was Not a helpful touch. The guy can play but stepping through bunch of notes almost random is out of tune and out of timing to me...
Richard Page's voice is just so prefect on this song! He can hit those high Tones perfectly! Toto should totally have him singing the Chorus on their concerts!
So sad if someone today babbling just about Ringo's drumming.. Ringo and his All Stars project gave us a lot great live performances, lineups and fun! Legends of music sharing a stage and good vibrations...
......Probably one of the best Ringo Starr All-Stars ever assembled. Just look who makes up this band. Lukather, Rundgren, Rolie, Richard Page (who can still can sing his ass off) Greg Bissonette & Billy Joel's wood/brass winds guy, Richie Cannata.....Only a former Beatle could pull together a band like this. Hail Ringo!!
What an excellent live version of this classic song. In my opinion this is the best sounding All-Starr band that Ringo has ever put together. They sing one great song after another. Thanks for posting this video.

Steve Lukather sounds absolutely amazing! I know it's Paich's song, but Steve really does a great job singing it. Richard Page is also wonderful in this. I get to see them in November and I can't wait!
It's great to hear Richard Page singing lead in the chorus. Did you know that he was offered the job as lead singer of TOTO back in 1983 when Bobby Kimball left the band?
Also, of note, is the fact that Richard is singing the lead totally by himself. Kimball used to do that, WAY early on, but lately it's been double by one or more singers. Like, Kimball with Tony Spinner at one point and then Joe Williams with one of the backup singers. So that's impressive on Richard's part. Also, I'm pretty sure David Paich and Kimball sang that part in unison on the album cut but Paich decided not to do that live for whatever reason.

Richard not only completely nails the chorus and the high notes but he is playing BASS at the same time!!!! How legendary and tough that is?
I think that’s Joe bonnamassa playing bass I can tell by that crazy haircut
@@stevekirksey9293 No, it's Richard Page, ex bassist and lead singer of Mr. Mister. One of the band's full members.
That's why he compliments TOTO very well, my hat off to mister mister Page
Page nails it!
@WouterB76 I heard a story that they had tried to recruit Richard Page back when David Hungate left, but he was already starting to have success with Mister Mister and had to turn it down.
Best version of Africa
YES!!!!! Was there, best. version!!!💜
Mark Rivera....on the sax!!!
What an incredible guy!!!
Euh I think it's a clarinette. Epic fail.
@@DDB_Pincab If that is how you correct others...oh boy...
I'm impressed by Richard Page's tenor voice. He still sounds great after all these years!
He 's a very good singer
.
And he and brunet lutaker sing well togheter....guy who plays sax is gifted
Richard Page rocks!
He is really talented. Looks great and sounds great 2 live.
He is Mr Mister after all :-)
Toto wanted Richard to be their lead Singer, but he turned them down because of Mr. Mister.
The Ringo Starr, playing with Toto. I never thought I’d see this.
Semplicemente Meraviglioso vedere Stars cosi' vicine e ascoltare una delle piu' belle canzoni della Storia!!! Grandi Toto Grande Ringo!!!
What an unbelievably astounding group of musicians. Ringo is a tremendous drummer, singer, and legendary person. His choice of musicians to make up the band really is " All Starr". If the millennial group would pay attention to the gift of fine music, they could actually claim they can listen.
I saw them in concert! Awesome!!!
I’m digging the sax. Love this!
I'm not certain but I think he was touring with Billy Joel for many years. He's multi-instrumentalist but probably best with saxophone. Amazing musician.
Hah! That was Mark Rivera, indeed!
Amazing.. Luke and Page together is fantastic.
Whenever this song comes on the radio i go crazy. Turn it up!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
THE DUDE WEARING SHADES AND PLAYING BASS GUITAR HAS AN AUSOME VOICE.
Richard Page ("Mr. Mister." ) He's been around for 40+ years...check this out... 1985 ua-cam.com/video/lIazGLhbxlg/v-deo.html
Richard Page sings Bobby Kimball's part exceptionally well. And I love Lukather's rendition of David Paich's vocal parts.
Lukather did Paich's part on several Toto concerts before. He sure can sing Paich's parts. ;-)
@@JanBulin I never heard him do any of David's parts on Africa, in the 2000 summer tour Bobby was there for those parts as Jeff babko couldn't do them, and from 2003 to 2008 Greg phillinganes did those parts.
What became of Paich?
No surprise Richard Page was invited to become lead singer of one of most successful bands of all time anted Chicago. Also to become singer of toto band.
@@pmlsantos yeah because he isn't.
Can't get more epic than this: Ringo Starr, Steve Lukather, and Richard Page on stage playing "Africa".
Don't forget Mark Rivera and Craig Bissonette!
Richard is still dope on that bass
and Todd Rundgren.
Ringo With Band - Goes To Africa...Like It,This Song,This Man,Just Magic......
HAHA Steve trying to sing like David Paich never ceases to amaze me.
A truly classic Toto song performed by a group of talented musicians...Love it!
That second voice of Richard is phenomenal..
Ringo playing High hat for whole song! Why not? without Ringo there wouldn't be bands like Toto or most of the music we all know and love today! x
Virtually FLAWLESS version.
This is my favourite band lineup for the All Star Band.
What can you say? They are all pros. Just killer playing and vocals. Thanks Ringo.
There's not a lot of Ringo there.
I don't get the criticism of Ringo. He's closer to 80 than he is to 70. I don't know many people who still work a full-time job at his age! I like seeing him enjoying himself with his friends and showcasing the astounding talents he puts together onstage all at the same time!
Nancy Fintak Agreed
Nancy Fintak good 4 you

Ewout, I don't recall hearing your name come up when talking about drummers. I do recall hearing Ringos..
I was at a Ringo concert and his All Star Band in June 2018, it was great. Ringo, 78 years old , sang and played for more than 2 hours.
I took a bus from Baltimore to Pittsburgh just to see his show last year. It was one of the most unforgettable experiences I've ever had. His legend status is well earned.

I saw them in September 28, 2018. Fantastic show
Me too. One of my favourite experiences ever.
He took care of himself.
Best version I’ve ever heard. The saprano sax playing by Mark Rivera really helps separate this from the other versions. Steve was outstanding!
Yes, you are right about that, I think it was Not a helpful touch. The guy can play but stepping through bunch of notes almost random is out of tune and out of timing to me...
This is the best version of Ringo Starr all star band. The all seem to enjoy playing together.
Total Music Right here ....This was the best Music Times ...
Wow I can’t believe my boi Ringo’s out here blessing the rains down in Africa
WOW!!!!Richard Page👌👌👌👌
Oh my gentle Jesus.... The level of musicianship on that stage blows my simple little mind!
Hello, Let's not forget the great Todd Rundgren in this lineup of great artists.
Richard Page May 16, 1953 Keokuk, Iowa..
Really from Phoenix, Arizona but moved to L.A. at age 19..
The rest is history
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Richard Page's voice is just so prefect on this song! He can hit those high Tones perfectly! Toto should totally have him singing the Chorus on their concerts!
He has kept his voice so well. He's amazing.
He was actually offered the position as TOTO's lead vocalist back in the 80's but turned it down because of his band MR.Mister
He was actually offered the job when Toto’s original singer Bobby Kimball was fired, but he declined.
already has Joe now who is phenomenal. Richard is great in this song though 👍
@@robertoxynn825 Yes Williams is obivouly amazing as well!:)
So sad if someone today babbling just about Ringo's drumming.. Ringo and his All Stars project gave us a lot great live performances, lineups and fun! Legends of music sharing a stage and good vibrations...
ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That is superb!!!!!
Just step back and listen, folks. This is a seriously tight band. Truly All Stars.
Yes...As I say, "Little children, sit down - the adults are in the room..."
Obrigado por postar este video,demais👏👏👏👏🙏
Loved this song when it came out. Brilliant xx
What a great song and great version of it too....
Ringo is nearly 80. He can do whatever the f he wants. I'd pay to see him do air drums.
Best comment
@@odettelee9095 Ringo might not be classed as the best drummer in the world but he was in the worlds greatest band.
He was 73 but yes..at this age..a lot of musicians and general people have arthritis or other ailments ...
TOTO and Ringo Starr...you didn't go wrong there Ringo ACE love this song
Richard Page is absolutely incredible!
Großartig ♥️🥰
Damn, Steve and Richard killed it. It's like the vocal equivalent of peanut butter and chocolate.
The best version i ever heard.....love it! Richard Page vocal is great!
Damn that is one amazing song! LOVED seeing Ringo Starr in there!!!!! LOVED IT! JUST LOVED IT!
Ringo Starr is a living legend. Period.
Some of the best musicians this planet has to offer, sharing one stage...
Ringo was and still is my favorite Beatle. He always sang the “fun” sings. When I hear him talk about music I always smile. ✌🏿& ❤️
Jeff Porcaro, Mike Porcaro and Carlos Vega in my heart !!! Thiago from Brazil !!!
This is one very challenging chorus to sing live. Nailed it.
One of the best bands ever, and Ringo is doing what a pro does, stay the hell out of the way and keep it simple.
Rings was and still is an excellent time keeper, one of the best!
Thanks for uploading!!! 👌💓💓💓
WONDERFUL 🤗👍
ALL THE MASTERS HERE TOGETHER
Richard Page is amazing!
Nice version. Nice instrumentation. Enjoyed the 80's version of Toto but this is also a nice rendition. Steve Lukhater always great guitar runs.
Ringo is absolutely amazing love him lots. ❤❤❤
It's a beautiful song. Period.
Luke is so cute trying to sing like Paich. Everyone performing is absolutely amazing. Even Ringo.
He cracks me up when he sings, because all of a sudden he's got a British accent...
When Ringo's playing, you're the guest on your own song
This is so well put!👍
I guess you can say he is gonna be your man
No. Respect 4 Steve Lukather
Best comment ever
No doubt... what an honor to play with this cat...
......Probably one of the best Ringo Starr All-Stars ever assembled. Just look who makes up this band.

Hail Ringo!!
Richard Page sure hit those high notes.
Have tix for the 22 Atlanta show! This will make the 5th time seeing him. It all started in 2000.
Ringo's drumming in an epic band when most people his age are contemplating just dying. Enough said.
@Roy 'Panty Dropper' Cropper 1 of 5, don't forget that Paul is dead. 🤣
One of my all time favourite songs - fantastic performance by all and great to see Ringo having fun!! :-)
Wow, double wow, triple wow, quadruple wow! That was angelic!
Ringo & TOTO 🌟🌟😍❗️magnifiques
Epic seeing Ringo on the drums with TOTO.
I swear that is Todd Rundgren playing with Toto????
Stunning version drumming was impeccable too and well done Steve too singing the song 💎💙🙏
The other drummer was like OMG I'me drumming alongside Ringo Starr.
Richard page is amazing. His voice is strong as ever!
Respect the people who brought so manny good music into your life 👊👊👊
Ringo can play anything with anybody at any time.
A bunch of monsters in music history.... Love them all!
Awesome to hear Todd on this. Everyone's Chorus vocals are amazing
What an excellent live version of this classic song. In my opinion this is the best sounding All-Starr band that Ringo has ever put together. They sing one great song after another. Thanks for posting this video.

Hey finally an amazing version of this song... This is fantastic..
Same...
Richard did perfectly with Bobby Kimball’s parts. It’s not an easy song to sing.
You'll definitely have to be a strong tenor!
Steve Lukather sounds absolutely amazing! I know it's Paich's song, but Steve really does a great job singing it. Richard Page is also wonderful in this. I get to see them in November and I can't wait!
You’re right, Steve sounds amazing every time, all the time! And what a powerhouse of talent playing with him!!!
Michele Plemons I do agree .Just saw them in Milan 2 weeks ago .Amazing concert !But Steve is fantastic 😍😍😍🔝🔝🔝
Well, he tries to sound like David Paich in this song ;-)
Hey!!..that dud playing the clarinet is nothing else then the legendary sax player Mark Rivera.
Haven't seen this version. Todd Rundgren playing guitar and harmony vocals! And Richard Page playing and singing harmony! Wow!
Wow! Richard Page really nailed this one.
Ringo Starr es lo máximo!!!... 👏👏👏
Class is permanent!
Ringo is at ease with any genre !
Page turns better with age, it's extraordinary to see him reach this vocals, I'm thinking how he can do this
It's great to hear Richard Page singing lead in the chorus. Did you know that he was offered the job as lead singer of TOTO back in 1983 when Bobby Kimball left the band?
That's true but he was also offered the job as lead vocalist of Chicago but turned them both down and stayed in Mr.Mister
Ironically, Toto also considered Jason Scheff at some point before he replaced Peter Cetera in Chicago.
MWCS-48 J.Kenn. Liberty was Billys drummer. That is Mark Rivera
DeVito was Joel's drummer. That's Mark Rivera.
Also, of note, is the fact that Richard is singing the lead totally by himself. Kimball used to do that, WAY early on, but lately it's been double by one or more singers. Like, Kimball with Tony Spinner at one point and then Joe Williams with one of the backup singers. So that's impressive on Richard's part. Also, I'm pretty sure David Paich and Kimball sang that part in unison on the album cut but Paich decided not to do that live for whatever reason.
Don't kid yourself, Gregg is holding down the fort! Ringo is going along for the ride.
Ringo Starr is awesome!
Holy shit! Greg, Todd, Greg, Steve and Ringo?!?! There's serious musicial power on that stage!
Arthur Gonzales The All Starr band is fucking awesome live, dude! I saw them in November and they killed it.
Yeah, they were epic here! :-)
And don’t forget Mark Rivera, great multi instrumentalist!
rafmin73 Yes, Mark is amazing!
Don't forget Richard Page singing that chorus alone 😅🙏
Love this song! And Ringo, too! Peace and love!
Richard Page was asked to sing for Chicago... When Peter cetera left 1986 . But he declined and stayed with Mr Mister... Awesome Voice!
Awesome ...Makes me beaming smile. from SK
Ringo Starr parecia ter 45 anos...Show d+
So much great talent on one stage!! Blessings to everyone!
A wonderful job with a song that always reminds me that I too, "...miss the rains down in Africa..."
I saw this rendition of “The All Starr Band “ Best bang for the buck . Couldn’t get smile off my face
