"One minute she's on a disorganised youth show, sharing the bill with Johnny Rotten and Public Image, and the next she's fronting new-level supergroups."
Supergroups had come and gone before. But when Elton John was "just the keyboard player", Phil Collins was "just the drummer", and Mark Knopfler was "just the rhythm guitarist", you were dealing with a new definition of huge.
Imagine the status and presence a vocalist would need in order to front a band in which the world's biggest stars were queuing up just for a place at the back of the stage playing a tambourine… That was the status and presence Tina Turner built in the mid 1980s, and this Grammy-winning double live album is a fantastic document of the period.
