Ringo Starr 'Unimpressed' By Rolling Stones Live

THE Beatles drummer Ringo Starr is unimpressed by the Rolling Stones' live performances - and insists he'd rather watch them from the comfort of his own home.
The star admits he didn't enjoy sitting in the audience at one of the rockers' stadium concerts, as he spent the duration of the gig watching the band on a huge screen.
He says, "(Rolling Stones' frontman) Mick (Jagger) got us the tickets and we had great seats, but we ended up watching the screens all the time.
"I thought, 'Well, I can just watch them on TV', so I haven't bothered going to a stadium show since.'"

words of wisdom. guuess the big screens permits the promoters to insinuate that every seat has a full view of the concert.ringo's new vid was way better than nose bleed seats in any stadium..
