RINGO'S BIG BIRTHDAY SHOW
July 7, 2020  | By David Bianculli

AXS TV, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
SPECIAL: Sixteen years after turning 64, Ringo Starr gets by with a lot of help from his friends, celebrating his 80thbirthday in grand, pandemically appropriate style. At 8 p.m. ET, AXS presents the exclusive cable premiere of Ringo’s Big Birthday Show, the charity event unveiled three hours earlier on Ringo’s own YouTube Channel, featuring performances from Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh and others. But AXS isn’t stopping there. Also shown today as part of its Ringo birthday festivities: replays of the 2005 Soundstage TV concert by Ringo Starr and the Roundheads (at noon ET; unlike his regular All-Starr concerts, the Roundheads set lists are all Ringo); Ringo’s in-depth conversation with Dan Rather on 2018’s The Big Interview with Dan Rather (at 7 p.m. ET); and the 2012 documentary George Martin: Produced by George Martin (at 10 p.m. ET). And if you don’t know George Martin’s relationship to Ringo Starr, why have you even read this far?
