Tim Riley said in the 1988 book "Tell Me Why" -
"Ringo wanted to serve the songs rather than show off. As a song writer's drummer, Ringo was the type of musician who could follow instructions as he completed the overall sound. His commitment to the music was bigger than his ego."
Well, maybe Ringo didn't want to show off, but he couldn't hide his enthusiasm during this particular number in Australia. Having recently returned to the tour after a bout with tonsillitis, he later admitted that he was afraid he would be permanently replaced with the drummer hired to fill in for him, Jimmie Nicol. Obviously, that didn't happen because, as we can see from this clip, Ringo is quite a force to be reckoned with.
