We were poor as church mice, and had never before attended a live concert. But this was a must! I loved every second of the concert, but Proud Mary was my favorite. Thank you so much for bringing back one of my favorite Utah memories.Madam Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136166772469538966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-68132935608244936652008-07-25T13:04:00.000-06:002008-07-25T13:04:00.000-06:00That must have been a helluva show!That must have been a helluva show!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-17457508396493973162008-07-25T12:27:00.000-06:002008-07-25T12:27:00.000-06:00A group of friends and I have tickets to see Tina ...A group of friends and I have tickets to see Tina Turner in October.

This was back in, oh maybe 1972, and they were playing in one of the vegas showrooms. I don't recall how I ended up near the stage, I wasn't a fan of their music before, but once SHE got going (which was immediately, like from the very first note, no warm up), it was unbelievable. I was almost under her dress & was out of breath just watching her! And it wasn't just one song, but EVERY single song. She knocked me out. <BR/><BR/>I knew nothing about Ike's "problems" til much later. To me, it looked like Tina owned the show. But there was Ike, like some kind of buzzard in the background, giving evil dagger looks to various band members at various points in their performance. Tina never even looked at him, as I recall.D.K.

And for a little run of the mill gig for them, she gave it her all, and I could swear she was wearing that same ass exposing "skirt" thingy, and those fabulous legs, never still. Ike was just a bass note.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954604416278665691.post-48736537388473505272008-07-24T21:23:00.000-06:002008-07-24T21:23:00.000-06:00Yep, I was at that Union Ballroom gig myself. Had...Yep, I was at that Union Ballroom gig myself. Had heard of Ike and Tina, decided to check it out. A little wine got me in the door (I'm sure a joint as well). Leaned against one of those pillars separating the ballroom from the hall, just casual, expecting to move on.<BR/><BR/>Ike comes out with the band, a little warm up music. I'm diggin' it already. Then the Ikettes jiggle on out, followed by Tina. And my head exploded!<BR/><BR/>Wow! what a show, and I'm sure it was a run of the mill performance for them (in SLC). Just great, and unforgettable. Thanks for mentioning the moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
