"I'm a big fan of Tina Turner and besides having her cd's I also have some of her live videos. And if you haven't seen Tina on stage, I have to tell you that you're missing an electrifying experience.After touring for 4 years with sold out shows. Tina released this production in 1988 after the impact of "Private dancer" and her 1986 hit album "Break every rule".
"Tina live in Europe" cointains her biggest hits live as a solo singer (without Ike) and it also contains duets with: David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Bryan Adams and Robert Gray. There's a section on cd2 where Tina sings old classics such as "A change is gonna come" and "Midnight hour".
Tina delivers her best in songs like: "Help", "Let's stay together", "Two people", "A change is gonna come" and other ballads. But she also rocks with songs like: "Show some respect", "Proud Mary", "Typical male", "Addicted to love" (a classic on Tina's concerts) and "Better be good to me".Tina's tour was worldwide but besides her incredible success of "Private dancer". In 1986 and 1987 Tina had an amazing hit in Europe with her "Break every rule" album and because of that an her early solo years. Tina felt that Europe was always there for her and this cd was a gift for her European fans.This album won a Grammy in 1989 and sold millions in Europe and Asia, but in the U.S it only reached #88 in the Hot 200.
Part of this tour was her Guiness Records record of 1988 when she sang in Rio in front of 182,000 people at the Maracana stadium."
Breaks Every Rule!

"I hate to think what most performers today would sound like on a live album. Ugh! Fortunatley, we have Tina Turner here to show us how a live album should be done. As you listen to this set, you can almost see yourself at the various shows recorded here, with such amazing sound and precision. No matter if some songs are obviously from more than just her Break Every Rule Tour. They all rock. This woman personifies rock-and-roll more than any other female rock singer. The sound is great, obviously much attention was paid to the sound recording of this album, and it certainly paid off! This set stands as tribute to the incredible courage, determination, and pure talent of this unique lady. Just sit back, slip one of the two discs in your CD player, and enjoy!"
Please release another LIVE album

"This double live album was originally released in 1988 and was a big succes in Europe. Tina Turner has a great reputation as a live performer and all out there who haven't seen her live will agree just by listening to this album which combines songs from the "Private Dancer" tour in 1985 and The "Break every rule" tour in 1987. She has done even better tours since then (Foreign Affair Tour and Wildest Dreams Tour), so I think it's time for an update. EMI should consider a new Live album from one of the worlds greatest performers."

"No Tina collection is complete without Tina live! There are great songs on this two cd set that you will find no where else. A Change is Gonna Come will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. If you are debating between Simply the Best and Live in Europe, get Live in Europe. You won't be dissapointed."
