Former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr became the first ex-moptop to

play in the former Soviet Union this week when he performed with his All-Starr

Band in Moscow, according to a spokesperson for the ex-Beatles member. Along

with All-Starr Band members Peter Frampton, ex-Cream bassist

Jack Bruce and Procol Harum keyboardist Gary Brooker, Starr

played such Beatles classics as "With a Little Help From My Friends" and "Yellow

Submarine" to a sold-out crowd of 2,400.
