Ringo Starr And Friends, the eighth live album by Ringo Starr, was released on 15 August 2006.
It was recorded by the former Beatles drummer and the All-Starr Band at the Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont, Illinois, on 22 August 2001. It was the 20th show by the seventh All-Starr Band, whose tour of North America lasted for 28 dates between July and September 2001.
