Divas Live was a charity concert for the VH-1 - Save The Music Foundation at New Yorks Beacon Theatre on April 13, 1999. Tina opened the show, walking from a black limousine through the entrance into the theatre on the stage, first performing her anthem The Best. After a short greeting, she did a wonderful version of Let’s Stay Together and was then accompanied by Elton John on the song „The Bitch Is Back“ and 'the oldest diva of all' with Proud Mary. At the end of this song, Cher danced onto the stage and they finished it as a duet.
