Potatoes are gross. I was the Walrus once, back before this thread was derailed.

“I won’t be able to see a thing if someone 5’5 is standing in front of me!“Do giants like that attend concerts??
Apparently! And for someone who’s 5’1 (almost 5’2) I still wouldn’t be able to see standing on my tippy toes!
I feel your pain! We’re about the same height (I’m 1.60m, or nearly 5’3″) and I, too, am always looking at people’s backs. Somehow’s it’s always the 6’+ people that end up right in front of me.

So Ringo is punishing entire state of North Carolina over a sociopiolitical issue he disagrees with? What about all the South Carolinians who agree with him on the LGBT issue? It’s likely that a Ringo concert would attract most of them anyway; now they can’t see him or have to travel to another state to do so.
You do realise how easy the people in the US have it when it comes to concerts, right? I mean, this upcoming European leg of Paul’s tour only has 10 dates: 3 in Germany, 1 in France, 1 in Spain, 1 in Norway, 1 in Denmark, 1 in Czech, 1 in Belgium, and 1 in the Netherlands. I’ll be attending the last one, but it’s the shortest show he’s done in years (90 minutes) and I will be traveling 6 to 8 hours just to get there and home again, assuming I won’t end up stranded somewhere. But, at least I have a chance to see him. The bulk of the tour dates are in the US. And that’s Paul. Ringo rarely even leaves the US anymore! There certainly don’t seem to be any plans for a tour of Europe. And how do you think the Australians feel?
Travelling to a different state seems a first world problem to me, but then that’s just me.

5’4″ here, I always seem to get stuck behind tall people at concerts. Or maybe just people with really big hair and/or heads. All these people talking about how “slight” all four of them are, are amusing. Paul, John and George all tower above me. Even Ringo is taller if only by a couple inches.

I’m Ringo’s height. 
(Dhani Harrison is Ringo’s height too…)
I always thought they were rather middling height, not basketball players but not short either.

Its not about punishing the fans, its about sending a message to those in charge and high up who make the decisions where it hits and hurts them most, in the pocket as well as their reputations. The lost revenue from musicians and businesses pulling out of events, contracts, investments etc will be far more reaching and hard hitting than Ringo (and others) making statements against or people holding public demonstrations.

Ahh, I thought Dhani would have been a little taller ^^ He’s also the same age as me.
I figure for dudes, they are about average or slightly above (a little bit below 6′). Then again, as a not-dude, anyone above 5’7″-8″ is tallish to me. =D

1978 was a good year 
I don’t know why people call the Beatles slight; 5’10”-5’11” isn’t short at all. I don’t get why people would think it is.
I mean, I live in the Netherlands. We’re the tallest people in the world (hey, exceptions confirm the rule) and even here, the average height for a man is only 6’1″. The brits are a bit shorter; 5’9″ on average, and you have to take into account that people get taller now than they did 50 years ago. In the 1950’s, the average height for Britons was 5’7″. Therefore, the Beatles were not short. Even 
has a normal height. He just looked short because 
and 
were taller than average.

As far as I know the lineup is unchanged from 2015 (he’s got Todd Rundgren with him, not sure who else is in the band atm)

I believe so. AFAIK there are usually changes every few years. I’ve only just recently joined the loop when it comes to these things. I’m still a newbie ^^;

Offline Yeah that’s the band I saw in Melbourne a few years ago, they rock. I think they did Ringo’s last album with him so it’s not surprising that they’re touring it really. Great live band, I loved Todd running around really belting it out, I think I was most astonished by Richard Page’s amazing voice, but they’re all great. You’ll have a ball @Midori78. I was shy and didn’t rush up to the stage like a teenager (a friend did, and kept saying afterwards “he pointed at me!”), but it was great all the same.

Aw man lol. Yeah, in my case it’d be kinda weird if I flew from the left balcony to the stage. I got a decent zoom on my camera though, and hope non-flash photography will be allowed-er, tolerated. Since this possibly-once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just kind of fell in my lap, and a Paul concert is way out of my budget. Sorry Paul
