(Launch) - Ringo Starr unveiled the latest edition of his All-Starr Band Tuesday at a press conference at Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario, where the group kicks off its latest tour Thursday. Starr welcomed new All-Starrs Roger Hodgson, Greg Lake, Ian Hunter, Howard Jones and Sheila E., along with returning musical director Mark Rivera, before the band played snippets of some of the numbers they'll do this summer: Starr's "Don't Go Where The Road Don't Go", Jones' "No One Is To Blame", Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Lucky Man", Sheila E.'s "The Glamorous Life", Mott The Hoople's "All The Young Dudes", Supertramp's "Give a Little Bit" and then back to Starr for the Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends". Starr joked that the band was only playing bits of the songs "because we don't want to buy the bootleg tomorrow".
