The concert, surprisingly, consists of the kind of tepid, middle-of-the-road fare she's been turning out since reviving her career in the mid-1980s with "What's Love Got to Do with It." The best parts of this video are the archival footage of a lithe, young Tina doing the Pony and the Hully-Gully and any other thing she wanted to while performing with ex-husband Ike Turner. There's little of Turner's contemporary output that holds a candle to the older clips of Tina performing "River Deep ain High" or "Proud Mary." The interview segments include glowing comments by everyone from Sting to Keith Richards, Al Green to Oprah Winfrey to Phil Spector. The video's twin low points: a live duet with faux-rocker Bryan Adams and Cher's reminiscences of counseling Tina to leave Ike, shortly after Cher left Sonny. --Marshall Fine
