Tina Turner

 On June 29th, 1997, Lisa and I attended a concert at the Marcus Amphitheater during Summerfest, Milwaukee's lakefront music festival. We watched a very pregnant Cyndi Lauper open the night, which was a nice bit of nostalgia,  and then the great Tina Turner took the stage. 



Here's the setlist from that day: 

  1. Whatever You Want
  2. Do What You Do
  3. River Deep, Mountain High
  4. Missing You
  5. In Your Wildest Dreams
  6. GoldenEye
  7. Private Dancer
  8. We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)
  9. Let's Stay Together
  10. Undercover Agent for the Blues
  11. I Can't Stand the Rain
  12. Steamy Windows
  13. Givin' It Up for Your Love
  14. Better Be Good to Me
  15. Addicted to Love
  16. The Best
  17. What's Love Got to Do With It
  18. Proud Mary
  19. Nutbush City Limits
  20. On Silent Wings
  21. Something Beautiful Remains
Cyndi Lauper setlist:


  1. Ballad of Cleo & Joe
  2. I Drove All Night
  3. Time After Time
  4. You Don't Know
  5. Sisters of Avalon
  6. Money Changes Everything

Tina Turner died today at age 83. There's nothing I can write about her life that hasn't been documented better elsewhere: her rise to fame, her abusive marriage, her time in the entertainment wilderness, her magnificent comeback. 

So I will merely say this:  thank you for a heckuva show. RIP.
