Product: Tina Turner: Live in Amsterdam (1996)
Rating: 5.0
Nearly impossible to stay seated!
An all-out blitz of excitement and energy. This concert dvd really sets a high-water mark for all other concert dvd's. Tina is as good and as sexy as ever, the raspy voice is intact and capable of hitting all the high notes; she and her talented (and sexy) band are relentlessly energetic; there seem to be cameras rovin geverywhere and the video editing is smart and musical (which is rare in concert dvds!). Downsides are overall mediocre sound in DTS and some poor sound editing (the concert was filmed over 3 days in Amsterdam but some audio tracks were cheated from other concerts). Still, these criticisms are minor as the overall impact is tremendous. I had my lawyer over for dinner - normally a fairly reserved woman - played her a few tracks and she was literally jumping up and down in front of my set going, "Tina! Tina! Tina!"
