Tina's 60 th birthday concert now on home video
This concert was filmed in London in November 1999 to celebrate six decades of Tina Turner on planet earth. The DVD has been available in Europe since June and finally it will be available to American fans this November. The show is not the same as the one she's currently touring North America with. The concert starts with the 1966 classic River Deep, Mountain High. After this landmark song she sings the title track of her most recent album "24-7". The high tempo continuous with a great version of her 1989 smash hit "Steamy Windows". Although her recent European no. 1 hit and US Billboard Dance chart top 3 single "When the heartache is over" is not really suitable for a live version she gives it a try here. For the next song, the UK hit single "Whatever you need", she is joined by the London Gospel Choir. Two ballads, "Don't leave me this way" and her 1983 comeback hit "Let's stay together" are next before she is joined again by the London Gospel Choir for probably the best track of the DVD : a superb version of "Talk to my heart", also taken from her most recent album "Twenty four seven". Tina gives everything she's got in her rocking version of "Hold on I'm coming"(unavailable elsewhere!) and is than joined by Bryan Adams for 2 duets. Of course the 1985 smash hit "It's only love" and the recent duet "Without you". Although her studio version of "All the woman" on "Twenty four seven" sounds rather weak, the live version here is one of the most sizzling tracks I've ever heard. The concert closes with her two classics "Nutbush City Limits" and 1989's European number 1 "The Best". The dvd also includes birthday dedications from such artists as : Bob Geldof, Al Green, Dolly Parton, Annie Lennox, Cher, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Phil Spector, PP Arnold, Bono, Mariah Carey, Ricky Martin and Sting + interview with the lady herself. The European dvd also included bonus material : Promo videos for when the heartache is over and "whatever you need" ( Superb Video! ) + a biography and a photo gallery. The best Turner video available to date !

Happy Birthday Tina!!!
In november of 1999 there were two important things to celebrate in show business. First the 60th birthday of one of the most important figures in music and second her new album after almost 4 years.
On this DVD you'll party with Tina's music were she sings the songs of her latest album at that time. The multi-platinum "Twenty four seven" and of course some of her greatest hits such as: the best, steamy windows, what's love got to do with it, let's stay together and river deep-mountain high.
You'll also find an interview with Tina, special appearances by Paul McCartney, Bono and The Edge, Annie Lennox, Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey, Mark Knopfler, Sting, Mariah Carey, Al Green, Keith Richards, Bob Geldof, Phil Spector, George Miller, Gloria Reuben and Ricky Martin.
The special guest of that celebration was Bryan Adams and Tina and him sang their duets (the 1985 Top 15 hit "it's only love" and the 1999's "without you"). Continuing with the guest stars, you'll also find special performances with Cher, Rod Steward, Mick Jagger and David Bowie.
As part of Tina's band there was The Royal Philarmonic Orchestra and as special features in the DVD version you'll find the videos of the hits "when the heartache is over" and "whatever you need", Tina's biography and photo gallery.
This DVD is a must have, Tina's performance is amazing, the guests are the best, the songs are very well chosen, here you'll also find rare Tina's footage from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and finally you'll see Tina blowing her cake's candles.

A Real Birthday Celebration!
This amazing birthday tribute knocked my socks off. Tina performs in a London venue that resembles 'Thunderdome' with her center stage and encompassed by fans 360 degrees on five levels. Although Tina only performs fifteen songs (in concert), there are plenty of clips dating back to the early sixties when she was with Ike Turner. One might think this would be an annoying distraction, but it proves illuminating. Her former 'Ike-ette' singer, PP Arnold comments frequently on their history and there are dozens of other singers that comment about working with Tina. Most notably are remarks by Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney, Cher, Mariah Carey, Sting, Al Green, Keith Richards, Bono and plenty of others (what is Oprah doing here?) Great duet clips are included such as with Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger and Cher. Tina also comments throughout on her own amazing history. The only low points are the two songs Tina sings with Bryan Adams - they just don't do her justice. The band is cracker with a plenty of strings and a huge horn section to bring out the organic feeling of the concert. The DTS Surround Sound is phenomenal! This truly is a Birthday celebration not to be missed. At age 60, Tina's still got it.
