Review
Soulful and energetic performances by Turner and Knight… This is the best. --Discoveries Magazine
Roger's brown hair and beard had yet to gray. Tina Turner hadn't adopted her 'atomic bomb' wig, and the Pips have a more limber strut than your 20/20 hindsight may dare admit --The Flint Journal
For people interested in the musical culture of the 1970s, this video packs a lot of music… The technical aspects are quite good.
