On July 7, 2010, The Beatles FABULOUS and vastly under-rated drummer Ringo Starr celebrated his 70th Birthday at a concert with his "All Star Band" at New York's Radio City Music Hall. In addition to his "All Stars" band, which included Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer this year, Ringo was joined onstage, at the end of his concert, by dozens of his friends and family members -- including famous musicians, music biz execs, and John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono. Ringo thanked us and said good night and everyone left the stage, the lights were dimmed once more... seconds later emerged Ringo's old friend and band-mate, Paul McCartney, flanked by the The Eagle's (and Jame's Gang) Superstar, Joe Walsh, Edgar Winter an Rick Derringer. Paul then launched into a rocking and rollicking version of the Beatles "Birthday," in honor or good ol' Ringo. In this photo, Paul (supposedly) surprises Ringo by showing up and then playing! A "surprised" Ringo was caught "unaware" and had to scramble back to the drum kit in time to join in on the fun. Afterwords, they shared a tender, public moment as they hugged... and from far away I do believe I saw the glistening of happy tears in both men's eyes. Not only had I seen a great concert put on by Ringo and his pals, but I had just seen an extremely rare 1/2 Beatles Reunion. After the concert, all of the celebs and Ringo's friends and family went across the street for a party at "Top of the Sixes." An hour and a half later they began to stream out, including the man of the hour, Ringo Starr himself (who looked great and put on a great show for us), George Harrison's widow, Olivia Harrison and many others (Yoko Ono had been whisked away in a limo after the concert and did not attend the party). One of the last celebrities to leave the party was none other than Paul. See some of those Fab photos below! NOTE: SEVERAL MORE PHOTOS OF McCARTNEY & CELEBS LEAVING THE PARTY AND MANY PHOTOS OF RINGO AND HIS ALL-STARs IN ACTION WILL BE POSTED IN THE NEXT THREE DAYS -- INCLUDING OF THE STARR/MCCARTNEY PERFORMANCE OF "BIRTHDAY." STAY TUNED!
