Tina Turner performed at Super Ball XXXIV and went again on Tour
in summer 2000.
Look
back at photos from 34 years ago, when Tina Turner was touring
with Ike Turner and the Ikettes playing huge hits like Nutbush City
limits.
At that time she was called the hardest working lady in Show biz
and concerts had been several hours long with massive dancing including.
It had been the hot years for Tamla Motown records with bands like
the Temptations, the Isley Brothers, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas,
Rare Earth and also singers like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder
hitting the dance floors with soulful contributions.
The biggest hits in those days for Tina Turner had been their version
of "Proud Mary" and "Nutbush City limits" however
their "I`ve been loving you" had been the total smash
during their amazing live shows, which had been as hot as Foxy Brown
or a Lady Patra in these days.
For some cities, in particular in the U.S. their show had been
way to explicit and not seldom local authorities had tried to disturb
the action on stage, what had also happened to some Rock bands like
for example the Doors with Jim Morrison or the legendary MC5.
Unlike them, Tina Turner and her set had not been any political
and much more like a great entertaining dance party, but for the
regular wasps it had been to hard to swallow with tons of sex being
thrown right into their faces.
In addition America had been far more racist at that time and sexy
dancers like Tina and the amazing body conscious Ikettes had triggered
some obvious mental confusions with many small town sheriffs and
mayors, who had been afraid of black, strong, wild and sexy.
Certainly it had been a most memorable experience and more pictures
from that early Tina Turner concert will get added in the near future
with also a higher resolution.
Enjoy pictures
from those days of the Ike and Tina Turner revue photo unside a
full screen music magazine with many many photos from that Tina
Turner show coming up in the future.
