(2005) |"Tour 2003" is a
live album byRingo Starr and was released in 2004. After releasing "Ringo Rama " in 2003, Starr embarked once more with his All-Starr Band and its ever-changing collective of musicians that summer.The performance included here is from the opening night of his tour at the Casino Rama, just outside
Toronto ,Ontario inCanada . Despite this, the CD booklet for "Tour 2003" confusingly carries a review for a later August show inDetroit . As ever, the line-up of Starr's celebrity companions has changed once again. Bandleader Mark Rivera remains, as does singing percussionistSheila E. New to the mix arePaul Carrack ofSqueeze andMike & The Mechanics fame,Colin Hay fromAustralia n bandMen at Work andJohn Waite , a solo artist who also had frontedThe Babys andBad English . Having already exhausted the appearances of most of his 1960s and 1970s contemporaries, Starr's new participants clearly add a strong 1980s element to "Tour 2003", giving this recording a different edge. While Starr typically performs his well-known hits from his heyday, he does venture here to include "Memphis In Your Mind" from "Ringo Rama ".CriticsWho|date=July 2008 were quick to note that this live album was Starr's seventh official release of the sort in fourteen years. "Tour 2003" generally received lackluster reviews upon release. The release failed to chart.
