For the past two nights, Ringo Starr celebrated his new country album Look Up with guest-heavy performances at Nashville's famed Ryman Auditorium, which were filmed for a TV special and became benefits for LA wildfire recovery. A parade of stars came through across both nights, including Jack White, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, Mickey Guyton, Larkin Poe, Rodney Crowell, Brenda Lee, Molly Tuttle, Jamey Johnson, and the War And Treaty.
Both nights featured the same setlist and the same guest appearances, which involved performances of Look Up tracks (including several live debuts), country classics, and, of course, Beatles songs. The gigs ended with massive sing-alongs of "Yellow Submarine" and "With A Little Help From My Friends." Looks like it was a splendid time. Watch some footage from the gigs below, where you can also find the setlist via setlist.fm.
