Again – Ringo offers nothing new. He's obviously shelved "Oh My My" after one tour. We may never get "Matchbox","Good Night", "Only You" or any new material other than the obligatory cut from a new LP.
I realize he hasn't played Europe in years and years but it's obvious he's lost any interest in trying to offer his concert audiences something new.
Perhaps he's too busy making another nasty "No Autographs" video to relearn the lyrics to "Goodnight Vienna".
