Tina Turner & David Bowie -Tonight (Private Dancer Tour 1985) Reaction

[@Terri6868]

2 legends on stage. I loved how Bowie gave her a quick kiss & kept singing. 🔥

[@jkirtleyheacting]

A friend of mine was at this concert. No one knew Bowie was going to turn up. The crowd went nuts. x

[@Joshualuv13]

I would have joined them 😂❤

[@chrismeadows4216]

Now you gotta see the Let's Dance medley they did afterward. It's legendary. 🥰 By the way, he saved her career. A little while after she separated from Ike Turner and started her solo career, her songs started to flounder and she ended up with no label. She had to make ends meet by performing as a cabaret singer. David skipped EMI's release party for his Let's Dance album to go see her perform with Keith Richards. The media followed them and the ensuing circus encouraged Capitol Records to sign Tina and release the Private Dancer record. As thanks to David, she put a cover of his song 1984 on it, recorded the studio version of this song with David on his album Tonight, performed his song Cat People live, and even more than that, graciously accepted a song that he and his bassist Erdal Kizilcay wrote for her called Girls, which became a single on her next album Break Every Rule. They truly loved each other and wanted one another to succeed. It's a true friendship, whether romantic or platonic. 🥰💕

SHE IS AMAZING LOVE HER !! 😍

[@jacqueline4514]

Great performance! Their chemistry was palpable 😊. When Tina Turner’s “Private Dancer” came out, It marked one of the biggest comebacks in music; she was huge!!! I had the album, and my boyfriend’s (at the time) mother was a big fan and took us to see her in concert ❤️. Another great duet she did at the time: “What about Love” with Bryan Adams 🔥

Look at Tina here !🔥Just Stunning and a total Star on that stage with Bowie just being cool as hell 😎 Great Collab here ! 👌

More Tina please, nobody reacts to her and she’s such a legend.

Teez, there was some controversy at the time that the two of them hooked up (due to people who read lips), which Bowie was known for bedding most of the women he worked with. Turner has never confirmed when asked directly in interviews, but she is pure class & never confirmed (but watching her I am convinced she was not being truthful my - opinion, of course). Their chemistry is certainly off the chart either way! Personally I love the bit at the end with the fan who jumped on stage, Bowie gave her a quick kiss as she was being escorted off. Made me love him even more (if that's even possible). 😍

[@TeezMcGee]

He’s a true professional and wow I didn’t know that lol Tina got her groove on 😂

[@chrisf.7980]

@Teez Magee It isn't proper for an interviewer to stick a mic in your face & ask a personal question like that. She handled herself like a real lady. (But her eyes told ME a story!)

[@carlnilssonyoung8961]

Tina gratitude to bowie, Mick jagger, iggy, was from her heart become they helped to resurrect her career, produced, wrote her come back album n even helped her a great deal from record company at that time.

[@clareparfittwinchester5244]

Tina Turner has recorded an interview in which she said that she and Mick Jagger larked around like sister and brother. She and David Bowie were good friends too. Tina said that during this tour she asked David Bowie to be "big and golden". He did it for her. David Bowie is neither big, nor golden, but he helped Tina Turner's career by appearing in her concert when he was at the height of his mainstream pop Let's Dance fame. Tina Turner is not a person to be "bedded". You disrespect her, by saying that David "bedded" her.

[@cragraven8949]

They didn't miss a beat during that unexpected interruption, either. Such professionals.

[@CA5124]

They had "off the charts" Chemistry !! 🔥

[@sallyh5413]

2 legends, I prob would have risked it all for a hug from Bowie too, RIP.

[@RESET1776]

It was a different world in those days my friend, nobody was worrying about a fan doing anything bad. Well, aside from screwing up the show that is.

[@jacqueline4514]

My gosh it was different then 🥲

[@tracyvolschenk7059]

Thanks Teresa. Their chemistry is just electric. Brilliant. Teez, thank you. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@trismaccarran9950]

Haven't thought of this in years, but a great collaboration 🙂 Also love Tina & Jagger pairing...

[@Jillyconjem]

You probably check out some early Tina. I very distinctly remember seeing the Ike and Tina Turner Revue doing “Proud Mary”. Tina Turner has always been an electrifying performer. 💜

[@chrismeadows4216]

Teez, you're really gonna love a particular performance. Rock N' Roll Suicide live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1973 - David Bowie. Trust me on this one. ❤

[@cdyer635]

I'll late to the party, but that fan has the memory of her lifetime, and she never ever forgot the emotion and the touching. Wish I could have the guts throughout my life.

[@michaelgilbert197]

Sorry Teez, I was so busy trying to beat Elyse (and Miss Patti) I'm just now starting to watch your reaction.... forgive me.🙏 I've never seen this performance but I LOVE Tina Turner and David Bowie immensely!! So thanks for doing this and keeping the music alive!!😎❤

[@maine420grow8]

I didn't know David and Iggy wrote this. I also didn't know until recently that Mark Knopfler wrote Private Dancer. She had some heavy hitting collaborators back in the day.

[@thebadgerno.1872]

Now that’s how you Duet….The 80s Teez…fans storming stage…nowadays be crazy. The original track with Iggy Pop goes back to Berlin days. Think I sent some Iggy Pop from early Bowie produced songs. Fun tune Tina on fire & Bowie king of Smooth 😇

[@AtomicVampire1]

Also, thank you for the Sparks reaction. An odd band but very influential amping other artists.

This broad is my favorite, a super freak - see there, it says born in 1939, but she kept that body until she was into her late 60s.

David Bowie and Tina Turner were seeing each other when this was performed. It’s been said that he whispered something naughty in her ear about the night before. They were both single back then so I can’t say why they kept it from the public.
