- You haven't done the Ringo shows yet or have you?
- We did this weekend, yeah.
- And what is he like?
Is he still enjoying it?
- He is 81 or 82 and does jumping jacks.
He is light on his feet.
I mean, he runs out on stage.
And he runs off the stage.
And he plays drums like he's 25.
- Wow.
- It's exciting to watch him to say that this is possible.
This is possible.
And he exudes gratitude and joy.
And you sense that.
And I know he's been through a lot of tough things.
And I just sense that like whatever,
'cause again, with the Beatles,
like they were the only four people experienced that.
And it was isolating.
And it was difficult.
You know, it was a blessing, but it was also a curse.
And they all had things they had to go through
in their life after that.
And he strikes me as being reconciled with it
and grateful for it.
And I sense he feels blessed
to be doing what he's doing today.
So he exudes something beautiful.
- Do they play "Octopuses Garden"?
- In the set.
I don't think they actually played it in the set.
So it's all stars.
So it's like Colin Hay from "Men at Work"
plays one guitar.
The great Steve Lukather,
who was in "Toto" plays the other,
like probably one of the greatest guitar players
in the history of music.
This guy, thriller album,
like "Toto" was the band for the "Thriller" album.
Like we can't forget that.
Like "Toto" wrote "Human Nature."
- I never knew that.
What?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Wow.
- Incredible.
But just so they do like "Hold the Line,"
"Rosanna" and "Africa."
And they do the bass player for "The Average White Band."
So they do one of those great funky instrumentals.
Is it Edgar Winter plays the piano?
- Johnny Winter passed, played guitar.
I think Edgar Winter plays the piano.
If I get that wrong, I'm so sorry.
So they do "Free Ride,"
which everybody knows "Free Ride."
- Yeah, of course.
- "Frankenstein," that great instrumental, "Frankenstein."
- Oh, sure, okay, okay.
- So it's a great show.
It's like the greatest cover band.
And then Ringo does like "Photograph"
and the encores with a little help from your friends.
And we all, we got to go up there and sing, you know,
and it was just, it was, you know, I'm convinced,
like we've not won a Grammy.
We've won like some other awards,
but like I think no matter how many records we sell,
no matter what we achieve as the Ava brothers,
the most cherished memories will be,
I'm gonna name drop being on stage
with Bob Dylan at the Grammys,
you know, recording with Rick Rubin,
being on stage with Bob Weir,
being on stage with Ringo,
like these like little things that don't make or break you,
but they are the icing on the cake.
They're just, they're the beautiful moments
that you just cherish.
- Yeah, oh, what a great answer.
- You made it win, you made it win,
you made it win, oh yeah.
You made it win, you made it win, you made it win,
oh yeah.
