Live In Europe is Tina’s first solo live album, featuring recordings from her Private Dancer Tour and Break Every Rule Tour, plus some additional tracks from the concert at Camden Palace in 1986. The songs, including live versions of her duets with David Bowie, Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton and Robert Cray, were recorded at the N.E.C. in Birmingham; Wembley Arena in London; Camden Palace in London (UK); Westfalenhalle in Dortmund (Germany) and the Isstadion in Stockholm (Sweden). The album was reviewed in Billboard magazine in it’s issue from April 2, 1988. In Europe, a total of five single have been released from this album.

Because in Japan, Australia and South America Tina was on tour sixteen months after the release of the Break Every Rule album, Live In Europe was released as two separate records under the different titles Tina Live in 1987 and More Live (or Tina Live Vol. II) in 1988. The tracklist differs depending on the country.
