| The main setlists varied occasionally. Sets were often truncated, especially at Festival-type multi-billed shows and at two shows (early/late) in one day gigs. | |
This first leg of the tour mainly concentrated on the East Coast and Mid West
United States. It began June 2, 1992 in Sunrise FL, and ended June 28th in Bonner

The
European leg of the tour ran from July 2 - 24th 1992, and included the UK, Sweden,

The third and final leg of this tour again returned to the States, concentrating
mainly on the West Coast, with some occasional detours East. It began August
1 in George, WA and ended Sept 6th, in Las Vegas, NV.
FULL VENUE LIST
CBS This Morning, July 7, 1992, aired a portion of "With A Little Help ..." from one of the June Radio City Music Hall performances along with a brief interview segment.
The Liverpool Empire July 6th performance was the centerpiece of The Disney
Channel's Ringo: Going Home special. It was produced and directed by
Stan Dorfman, and first aired April 18th, 1993.
The program features Ringo taking son Jason on a walking tour of his old Liverpool
haunts, interspersed with footage and songs from his July 6th Liverpool Empire
concert.
Full performances of Weight Of The World, You're Sixteen, Don't Go Where The
Road Don't Go, and Act Naturally can be seen, while portions of many other songs
are shown or featured in-between and under interview segments.
The studio Don't Go Where The Road Don't Go was released in Europe as
a single in Nov of 1992. In Sept of '92, Stanley Dorfman put together a promo
video for the song using soundcheck footage (venue unknown) and live footage
from the July 6 Liverpool Show!
The July 13th performance at The Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland, recorded as well as videotaped - in HDTV - as a Quincy Jones / Montreux Jazz Festival / Swiss TV Co-production, and broadcast (in part? whole?) by Swiss TV. The All-Starr set was released on video and CD.
The band was also featured in a segment of ABC's In Concert, which featured a few songs, mixed in with interview segments, backstage and rehearsal footage.
Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon carried live segment featuring "You're 16" from Sept 6th at Caesar's Palace.
Examination
of the tour book seems to show that Zak apparently kept a low profile, as he
does not appear in any of the group pictures in the program or those used for
various promotions. He does have a picture and bio, which misprints his age
at the time of his first professional gig as "19". It should read
"17" (as it does in his 1995 All-Starr bio).
The drum technician for the tour was: Jeff Chonis.

|Special mention: Set lists, tour dates, venues, etc have
been compiled from various sources over the years. However, THE major source
that verified and corrected this information was the awesome book by Chip Madinger
and Mark Easter entitled: Eight Arms To Hold You - The Solo Beatles Compendium
- Covering recordings, releases, tours, tv, film, video and more!
