TINA: Video (Concert)

Wild Lady of Rock (1984)

Tina Turner - Wild Lady of Rock (At the Apollo) - Video

Wild Lady of Rock is the long version of Tina’s first solo home video with a concert from London’s Apollo Theatre, recorded on March 25, 1979. Dressed in Bob Mackie costumes and supported by four dancers, Tina performed several cover versions of popular songs, some old ones from Ike & Tina and some new tracks from her solo records Rough and Love Explosion. The video was first released in short form with a running time about 31 minutes in 1979 under the title At The Apollo. After Tina’s comeback, it was also released as an one hour concert under the titles „Wild Lady of Rock“ and „Queen of Rock'n Roll“. Unfortunately, at least the songs „Life In A Fast Lane,“ „Fruits Of The Night“ and an early version of „Hollywood Nights“ are missing from the original setlist. Additionally, the songs from the medley as well as „I’ve Been Loving You Too Long,“ „Give It Up“ and „Music Keeps Me Dancing“ were faded out.
