We all know Ringo Starr and there is no point in starting a discussion about his contribution to the history of music. So, I'd like to focus my attention on the Blu Ray:

Despite its underbrief length, the musicianship is excellent (we all know Ringo is not the best singer in the world, but even so its voice sounds really cool), the arrangements are fresh and appealing, and the feeling of happiness one gets form the band is worth the price. The camera positioning is very good and you get to see close-ups of the hands of the musicians and Ringo Starr's feet when he's playing drums. Cameras don't move too fast so you can focus your attention on the performance and see the musicians play and sing, which -at least that's how I see it- is what matters, as the audience, although seen and heard, is kept to the minimum.
It's a pity it's so so so short. I want more!!
