Watched 'When Tina Turner Came To Britain' (BBC2) last night. Most on here won't remember or have attended an Ike & Tina live performance in the 60's BUT they were just electric. As a Melody Maker journo stated at the time (during both of the revue's first 2 UK tours), they put on the very best high energy R&B show ever seen in the UK at the time.
I got to see them play the Wheel, though they also played the Mojo (66), Leeds (66), Harrogate, Chesterfield (68) and the Casino (68), but the Wheel was an ideal venue for the act. Small stage, packed club, high energy show, exited audience. I managed to get down front near the stage that night and the impact of the Ikettes dancing (& singing) just inches away from my face in their tight mini dresses left a lasting impression.
Anyway, the TV documentary pulls together lots of material about those times (as well as later experiences Tina had in the UK). It captures those times as well as is possible + shows lots of historic footage of the revue playing live.
If you missed it, I think it should be available on BBC I-Player.
