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 inside
a full screen music magazine with many many photos from that
Tina Turner show coming up in the future.
