Maybe if you'd seen this in the early '70s, you might think it was hip. But today, it looks like somebody, high on acid, was working the knobs. Otherwise great Tina Turner performances are chopped up, with the picture moving in different directions and all the best parts lost because some "engineer" thought he was being clever and making Tina "more' exciting.

Tina sings her butt off, but the whole thing is ruined by the picture we see. Better if you just close your eyes.

The sound quality on this video is absolutely horrid! Is sounds like it was recored off of someone's tape recorder in mono. The musical arrangements are very outdated but it was interesting in seeing Tina earlier in her career to see how amazingly she has developed as a singer, dancer and performer since then. There were definite signs of her future greatness as a performer. But unless you are a Tina Turner fan nut, best save your money and buy some of her later videos.

theres a dvd released a year later called through the years thats a low quality version of this.
the sound quality is 5.1 surround sound and it is not horrid. but actually, the stereo track included here sounds better.

This is a bit of a rehash of other material. It is still good to see Tina. Young Tina or older Tina she is simply the best.
