???? TINA TURNER,...what can I say. 6 month ago a friend send me a clip from YouTube. I have some of her records on vinyl,have listen to her records and also earlier.....a long time ago see her on TV. But never see her doing a Live Performance on stage,I have now.....thanks to YouTube.
The sound is not so good on YouTube-clips than on vinyl-records,but it doesn't matter,to see this heroin-lady (as Oprah Winfrey says) in Live Performance is out of this world
To see her performing live is marvelous,she owns the stage,and the audience eat from her hands. She was known as to have 100% public-contact from the first song. And I think you know about her energy,dynamic,intensenty,electrisity and always giving 100% on stage. Some facts...
?Tina Turner has sold more concert tickets than any other solo-artist...over all times ?
? 11 World Tours, every one Sold Out,the longest "Break Every Rule Tour" in 1988, 218 conserts....and we talk here about Arena-concerts. Not many artists can fill arena-conserts,all Tina's was Sold Out.
? Tina's last Tour was 2009,she was then 69 years old,and have been away from stage 9 years. This Tour goes in Europé and USA, 96 concerts.....everyone Sold Out. Believe that,....away from the music-business 9 years,return,and every Arena-concert Sold Out. She also get top-writings in all "newspapers"...as all called her,..."The Queen of Rock'n'Roll".....69 years old,and the same energy on stage ?
? Tina has the world-record of the biggest concert in all times,it was at Maracana-stadium in Rio de Janeiro 1988. 188 000 people was at the concert....think about that, 188 000 people. The second place has George Michael,the same stadium with "only ????" 160 000 people.
? TINA; The Musical,...a musical of her life had World Premier in London some week ago. Tina loves England,London and was glad that this musical starts in London.
? A new book about Tina come in october,the first "I Tina" came 1986.
? Tina has won everything you can think of in the business, Kennedy Center Honored ect,the last one in januari this year.....The Lifetime Achivements Award,because of this price they shall have a big concert for her this summer. Best Rock voice of all time and of the 100 best sing voices of all times she is on place 17.......not bad for a rock-singer.
This is a start-post to this thread,maybe others here can put in something about this Iconic Artist. She loved to performe in England,I shall later post a clip from her consert at Wembley-stadium year 2000,she was then 60 years old....maybe some of you visit that consert?
At last,here is a clip from 1990,a concert in Barcelona. From the "Foreign Affair World Tour" 124 conserts.Tina was here 50 years old.....but,holy sh-t .... Look at the powerlady? Here we can talk about electrisity....enjoy.
As I say,Tina you shall see,hear live...not on record.

I don't know were you get your info from Peder, according to Bill Board Tina Turner is ranked 23 on the top touring artists of the decade list. Also remember its hard to say Tina or any pop/rock solo artist is a solo artist in the true sense of the word as she has a large band & backing singers & I guess some dancers as well in her stage show.
Rolling Stones are the #1 grossing band;
Total Gross: $869,471,325 Number of Shows: 264
Total Attendance: 8,236,586 Number of Sell-Outs: 190
Madonna is the top grossing “solo” artist
Total Gross: $801,299,671 Number of Shows: 248
Total Attendance: 6,387,124 Number of Sell-Outs: 244
The Dave Matthews Band has sold more tickets
Total Gross: $505,447,901 Number of Shows: 547
Total Attendance: 11,230,696 Number of Sell-Outs: 282
Celine Dion had (both) more shows & more sell-outs
Total Gross: $536,593,262 Number of Shows: 792
Total Attendance: 4,099,963 Number of Sell-Outs: 597
Tina Turner is ranked #23

???? MIKE-B,...yes I have seen this and alot of other info to,for example....for a long time I had the number of 184 000 people for her big concert. Just a month ago I have the right number of people 188 000.
It's so many facts on internet,but I have done alot of research the last 6 month about Tina Turner. Have been in contact with people who is very near Tina herself. Also write to her,but thats a secret that I not can talk official about.
So this is as near the truth you....I can get. But it doesn't matter,the meaning of this thread is to talk about her, and if we have some memories, because of the fantastic Live Performer she is in first place.I haven't listen to her for at least 15-18 years,it was when my friend send me that YouTube-clip, and I see her perform live that I say to myself....Whaooo?
After that,the records I have means nothing,it gives me a complitly different feeling to see her performe live. An another example,the song "Undercover Agent For The Blues" from the same concert....Barcelona 1990.Play that song from the record, and than listen to the clip.....the record is not near.....it's a fantastic Live Performance of that song in that concert....I shall post the clip here later.
In this days the music business "make artist" if you know what I mean,it's good to see artist with real talent who can performe live.
And of course she is a solo-artist,every solo artist has a band. But in many tours she was alone at stage.....no dancers.
The Rolling Stone paper writes in an article,..."other solo artists needs alot of dancers,fancy kostyms,big stage decor ect ect....Tina just need herself, a good band and the public".....that says everything.She is in a league of herself,just hear her voice and look at her contact with the public/audience.
The most of times I listen to this clips with my headphones,thru phone,Ipad or computer because it's importent to see the picture to,otherwise you lost at least half of the performance....I have a good dac of course ????.

MIKE-B,....I agree with you,as I say I haven't played her much on my system. Tina is an artist that you shall see live....not listen to records. I think it was because of that she was on so many tours. They say that she was the most hard working women in the music-business,she wants to meet the public.....the public made her better.
Oprah made a TV-program to celebrate her at Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas...it was Sold Out,Tina was 68 years old then. In that program Tina say that she shall go out for one more Tour....the last. She say that she wants to meet her fans,the public one more time. She gets standing ovations in 10 minutes after saying that.
I'm surpriced that I'm been so "overwhelming" about her now,but I think it has something to do with what she says in an intervju......"people know it wasn't Hollywood,it was real....I live this life".
David Bowie also say in an intervju, " when I performe with other artist and look in their eyes when we sing,....there eyes were cold,they only do their job......When I performe and sing with Tina,whaoo,you should see her eyes,full of feelings for the music.....it wasn't only a job for her'.
I think maybe that can be one of the things, that made her so big as an Live Performare. And I think that is what I like when I see this clips.....an artist that give her all when she performes...not just doing her job.
Mike-B,her period with Ike I don't like,but from 1983 "Let's Stay Together" and forward....when she goes into Rock'n'Roll. That's more what I like with her.

???? Tack Peder, nice thought but U-Tube clips get me rocking about a much as 5/4 time Rap on MP3
My country is UK: in late 60's I was bumming around USA, mostly SF & LA & got see a lot of bands & people. In my work life I travelled in many parts of the world, Minneapolis (were I last saw Tina) was my companies HQ for R&D & Engineering.
???? A swedish word,...thank's.
Then you are a little bit older than me,it must have been fantastic to be there in USA under that time......Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival,Jefferson Airplane,Allman Brothers,Greateful Dead,Chicago,Blood Sweat and Tears ect,ect and all this Underground Clubs....whaoo???????? you must have great memories.
???? About YouTube-clips,I must tell you a little story. I have been/are a real hard core-guy on vinyl replay,always have a top-spec LP12. I have had different top-spec CD-players over the years ,but almost never played on them....the different in soundquality to vinyl replay was so big.
In the middle of 2011 I heard a Linn streamer for the first time (I wasn't interesting in digital replay),it was Linn Akurate DS (a friend has it),it cost around £6000 here in Sweden in 2011. My friend often talks about the look in my face when I heard it.....I asked him if it was "broken" in some ways ???? . It sounds terrible! There you have my level when we talk "digital replay". Later that year I also heard a Linn Klimax DS that another friend has,same experience.....better but still terrible against vinyl replay.
Because of this story,it's strange that I can listen too YouTube-clips and enjoy it,......but I can. You must see it as it is,a good way to see some of your favorite artists play live.I also think, that you have another experience/feeling when you see AND hear the artist at the same time....it compensate for the lower soundquality in some way.It must be so,because I can listen to it and enjoy it....and you see my "digital story up here".
Many,many clips are very bad in soundquality,but if you look at...say 15 clips you find one good so you can listen to it. For me I look, and listen to the music and message the musicians send out from stage under there Performance.How they move,control the stage,the contact with the audience....the real feelings they have under their performance ect.....AND here is Tina Turner in a league of her own.Nobody is near her.
As a big music journalist writes,..."If we talk Live Performance,other so called artists should be ashamed compared to Tina"
A friend of my can listen to this clips I have posted here,on his top-spec Linn-system..he has the best system that Linn have built....always the latest in upgrades. But I listen with this Equipment, smartphone,ipad or computer.Bowers & Wilkins P9 headphones,Audioquest Dragonfly Black and/or Red usb-dac. I think this had good synergy, so you can enjoy it and don't think about the loss in soundquality.
We are many here in Sweden who send music tips,clips to each other.Many of them have buy'd Bowers & Wilkins P7 and Audioquest Dragonfly Black usb-dac's.....just to see this tips/clips. An easy/cheap way to see this clips, when you see TV,someone send you a clip/tips...just put on your headphones and start your smartphone....And there you are,a Live Performance in a few seconds.....just be a little Openminded to this YouTube-clips,a little different experience....but still music..?

Here I throw in a clip again from her last Tour,when the tour starts she was 69,....but here she has passed her birthday and are 70 years old.
Believe that,70 years old and act on stage like this. As she says in an intervju,...."I have lost some tone,and have some celluites.....but I don't say witch or where".
? A comment from one in the audience,....."Awesome singing Tina,no female singers around fit to stand in your shadow......Beyonce is a Tina Turner waanabe".
???? The song is: What You Get Is What You See.
Place: An Arena-concert....Sold Out.She did this last tour, to celebrate her 50-years on stage as a Live Performare.
The guy who sings with Tina is John Miles,a fantastic voice,and have been in her band many,many years. He has also a solo career as I think you know about.
