TINA: Song

Acid Queen

is a song from the British rock band 'The Who‘ from their rock opera album Tommy. In 1975, it was recorded from Tina for the Tommy soundtrack album and in a different version for her same named Acid Queen album. The song was also released as a single and Tina performed it live in the late concerts from Ike & Tina as well as repeatedly in her solo concerts. At her 50th Anniversary Tour in 2008 / ’09 she performed it with an intro, containing elements of the song „Won't Get Fooled Again“.
