[@alyssafuller5306]

RIP Queen. You understood the assignment and executed it perfectly. Love it when artists aren't afraid to get *really* weird.

[@semireckless]

👍

[@trainer1634]

👏👏👏

[@Claudia-r7s9g]

The truth is coming, wait for it and for sure you will be shocked

[@SaidParker]

We love U, Tina… 🥀💃🏻⭐️🕊️❤️😢

[@americancitizen748]

I was only 13 when I first saw this. I have been in therapy ever since.

[@sylviasemenchuk323]

American Citizen Haha yeah I was six years old and was totally freaked out, but I have loved the movie since I first saw it

[@kitdinker]

American Citizen You got off light.

[@maryelephant940]

Not really the movies fault. Or Tinas fault.

[@missylaster9808]

Freakiest Movie ever....what nearly finished me off was "eyesight to the blind"😱 ..

[@alfinflikt6689]

Getting fucked by Tina Turner on a hit of smack.....that don't straight you out ....then maybe uncle Ernie will.....whatever floats yer boat ......no judgements .....haha....

[@mehmetyanilmaz6342]

RIP. With respect and gratitude.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

R.I.P. T.T. ✨🔥✨

[@annastasiatolley5628]

As much as I love The Who, Tina Turner makes Acid Queen sound 10K times better. She is amazing!

[@heloisacascardo4093]

Tina You are unic

[@TheBluesrocker007]

RIP Tina, my condolences to your family, friends, and millions of fans worldwide.

[@karenumland1091]

She's so insanely gorgeous, it's like she was sculpted. How can genetics organize that perfectly?

[@LizzieSparrow2]

Karen Umland Yes!

[@robertfitzgerald3118]

Agreed

[@Zopf-international]

Some of them notes she's hitting there blew my mind as a kid. Still do. She really is the Acid Queen.

[@talkingheadzzz2449]

Same here exactly!

[@jenniferfelan694]

I read that David Bowie was almost cast to play The Acid Queen in this movie. It would have been interested to see him take on that role in that movie but I am glad Tina Turner had beat him to it.

[@lieutenantmoo334]

Why would David Bowie be the acid QUEEN?

[@briancordova1299]

Space Cookie A transgender Acid Queen would have been way ahead of it's time.

[@lieutenantmoo334]

Brian Cordova Yeah

[@porflepopnecker4376]

I think it would've totally sucked. David Bowie instead of Tina Turner? Give me a break.

[@jenniferfelan694]

Porfle Popnecker I UNDERSTAND MAN!!! I AM JUST SAYING THAT TINA ROCKED AS THE ACID QUEEN! NO FURTHER COMMENT.

[@scooterpam]

Who came here tonight because Tina died this morning? I was 12 when this came out and probably too young to understand it. Now that I’m retired, I go back and watch these formative movies. Nostalgic. R.I.P. Tina🥰

[@ginoortega9527]

She didn't die I saw her the other day I'm 55 yrs old

[@danielmchale4773]

love her face expressions

[@johnsanders6695]

She Twerksit 2!

[@sonnycostello1966]

RIP the Queen of Rock, no other artists in the universe could have portrayed the acid Queen like the Queen herself

[@gchukma]

Eartha Kitt comes in as a solid second and more likely an equal. After all the Cat Woman seduced Batman.

[@michaelworse6034]

Hit me like a hammer this morning. RIP Tina ,

[@richardt1792]

RIP Tina. This is the song I most remember Tina for and none of the news clips play any of it.

[@orbison]

This was the beginning of the end of Ike and Tina Turner, this was one of the first (if not the first) projects Tina did that was entirely separate of Ike. Within a year, she would escape Ike once and for all.

[@LittleMissDeath]

+orbison Thank God.

[@jenniferfelan694]

I am happy she walked out on Ike Turner, that bastard!!! I have read about the huge fight they had on the way to a gig they were supposed to do in Dallas, Texas that year. Her autobiography "I Tina, My Life Story" is a great read.

[@ProfessorBirchwood]

Ike is such a bastard That Tina put him right because she a gypsy the acid queen

[@no1nestandsalone387]

orbison it wasn’t the first. She met with Phil Spector to do Mountain high by herself. That was her first no Ike moment.

[@mrbrownroyyal]

True but she was still under Ike's control. This role was arranged for her without her consent. She was able to fly to London and film it by herself where she got a taste of freedom.

[@Jabba1625]

Ken Russells visionary at its best, for all who don't know, he was the director and certainly should receive as much praise as the Who and everyone else whom starred in this legendary cinema artwork

[@lesleyhalkett5675]

His movies were way beyond their time and so many people now don't even know who he is. Sad

[@juri_xiii9977]

Thanks for this info nugget,Friend. Gotta educate myself with his work/story.. Much appreciated.

[@gregsherman5499]

Ann Margaret's rendition of Christmas was too slow, it needed to be lively

[@Helo_rides_for_commies]

This movie sucks.

[@jeffreese1828]

@gregsherman5499 yeah , but she looks sooo good doing it ! Whatever speed ! ✌️

[@malb6504]

I was the SFX guy who put that sequence together.

[@alexduff8918]

RIP, Tina. You were an absolute queen (not just an Acid Queen).

[@craigdavis5407]

R.I.P. Mrs. Tina Turner aka The Acid Queen!!!🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️💚💚💚

[@David-yw2lv]

Mr.?

[@claycountybrian5645]

This movie made quite an impression on a certain 14yo Rock in Paradise Queen 🤟🥲✌

[@chiefd3290]

Tina Turner is the undisputed Queen of Rock & Roll and should have been nominated in the Oscars for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the Acid Queen in Tommy! This was her acting debut.

[@matthewharfman7314]

Rest In Peace Tina Turna. This was my favorite performance she’s done.

[@jamesbollhoefer6447]

I saw the Tommy movie when I was like 9 or 10, this scene scared the hell out of me. A lot of it did, lol. I eventually came to understand it as a proper opera, and appreciate it as such now. always loved the Tommy album, completely different than the movie.

[@CCMiaChi]

Same 😂 but I love it!

[@zulusound]

I was 9 as well, seeing it in the theater was terrifying. Can’t say I liked it then, now I do!

[@keithking6004]

i saw it when I was 14 -- with my mom. Awkward! LOL!!!

[@johnearle1]

Long live The Acid Queen! RIP Tina.

[@AnnaJo2000]

The energy, the passion and those legs....fucking iconic! Bravo Tina! ♥️♥️♥️

[@chrisbennett194]

Unfortunately, this clip was edited (censored) at the 2:20 mark, cutting the great effects of Tommy alternately ecstatic and withered inside that acid machine, and Tina in there as well.

[@kathyjohnson1310]

RIP She rules anything she performs. Have loved her since a young child.

[@gliextra6097]

I saw a concert by TINA TURNER about forty years ago and since that evening I have never forgotten her: she possessed a black VOICE of rare beauty: powerful in any tonality: from very bluesy low timbres to ever higher notes that went up and up UP TO THE SKY. He was an "enchanting" stage ANIMAL: he possessed charm, beauty and physique "to spare". Observing TINA, it was understood very well that for HER singing was PURE FUN, therefore, thanks to this STRENGTH OF HER, she was able to "infect" all the audience present right from the first song. Just for the record, it should be NOTED that he has always had a lot of taste in selecting EXCELLENT MUSICIANS and GOOD CHOIR SINGERS to take with him on tour, especially in the 70s and 80s. TINA TURNER is one of the greatest ROCK singers in the HISTORY OF MUSIC and will ALWAYS remain ALIVE in our most beautiful musical memories! R.I.P. TINA: Simply The BEST...QEEN!!! 🎤👏👏💔❤

[@EpisodiacSelections]

One of the best period! Rip. Tina! This movie tho.. Wowzers. Was way to young to watch this back in the day but im glad I did.

[@user-fb2kg4ql1l]

❤❤much love for Tina Turner, she took nothing but her name from Ike and she made it work. R.I.P. You paved the way for color, women and perseverance

[@mijaba]

Mind-bending--- gut-wrenching--- flat fucking incredible. This woman SCARES me in a really good way. I absolutely LOVE this version of the song-- and with the footage--- just awesome

[@neothew0lf]

its crazy how this was initially supposed to be david bowie but tina really smashed it - rest in peace

[@dresden67]

Only the few things I remember about Tommy was her performance .. Freaked me out when I was a kid.. God rest her soul.. And mad max thunder dome.. She was the best 💐

[@dre66roc]

Tina Turner would have been an awesome Wicked Witch if she was cast in "The Wiz"

[@malindaylayla8119]

lmbo, she really would've been XD!!....nowhere near ugly enough though cuz she's nowhere near ugly at all, plus her handcuffs were probably still way too tight at the time even if she was proposed with that off. But your still so right, she would've been an excellent addition to The Wiz.

[@dre66roc]

あ Layla Malinday あ big missed opportunity just imagine Stephanie Mills or Diana Ross as Dorothy, Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow, both the Lion and Tin Man were casted excellent, Aretha Franklin as Glinda or maybe Gladys Knight, Keep Richard Pryor as the Wiz or trade him with Bill Cosby or Harry Belafonte, and TINA TURNER as the Wicked Witch of the West. If im not mistaken The Wiz came out in 1978 by that time Tina and Ike were divorced

[@aprilwest9852]

Andre Brown Jr. Yes, the witch.

[@HobbsBhipp]

She would have been nice but I'm sorry, Mabel turned it out.

[@karenm1634]

@@dre66roc - It did come out in 1978. I saw the original Broadway musical in '75 and I was terribly disappointed that Stephanie Mills wasn't re-cast as Dorothy, although a portion of the original cast was still included; the Lion (Ted Ross), the Wicked Witch ( Mabel King). I felt that Stephanie Mills had the more powerful and soulful voice, versus Diana Ross' more soft voice style. But the casting of Lena Horne as Glinda was perfect, I was moved to tears from her performance.

[@Nothankyou76]

RIP Tina! This was how I first learned who she was and I always thought she was so cool and such a rocker! Incredible voice and talent

[@davidanderson7382]

She photographed so beautifully I can't believe no one put her in movies before that. Genius.

[@jacksonkisling1684]

RIP Tina Turner, a true American Legend

[@TheVenus61]

Very important song & video, I wish more young people were watching this today, Drugs may appear seductive, but they Kill !

[@pinballdave804]

They didn't kill Tommy Made h play better pinball !!

[@jonathanarnett6937]

RIP Tina , I remember Tina performing and recording this track in my home town of Portsmouth ! Tommy was one hell of a trippy movie ALL of Tommy was filmed in Portsmouth ! Had the chance to see her live again in Portsmouth and actually had the great privalege of getting to remind her of the time she filmed Tommy !

[@VoodooDangerbird]

RIP Tina 💃🏾

[@LazloWoodbine]

RIP Tina ...... a true legend....

[@kel2580]

This is when old Tina was getting down and at her magnificent best. She took this song and made it her own. Rocking like the queen. I can't stand to hear her anymore after this.

[@meh.3035]

Why? She made great music after this!

[@originaluddite]

I've never had to do drugs - the music and movies of late last century did it for me.

[@newsreader4321]

This is actually a good song and Tina really delivers this

[@booeyats1]

Rest in peace Tina and thanks for everything.

[@rajeshkaran7800]

RIP Acid Queen 23- May-2023❤🌹🍁💜

[@whittingtonwhit8548]

Rip Tina, an absolute icon and one i got introduced to at a young age by my mum and brother. Loved her. She will live on in the music as she has done for years before now. Legend.

[@stevemadrid6522]

I saw Tommy in the theater when I was nine, with my mom. Absolutely blew my mind!

[@dat_music_dude9718]

Rip Acid Queen 😢

[@ncmathsadist]

One of the finest scenes in the movies. At once horrifying and erotic in a way that is unforgettable.

[@anyasea10739]

Loved this movie since I was younger, and I thought Tina Turner was just incredible in this role. Rip Tina ❤️

[@Captntripps]

RIP Tina. You'll always be my acid queen.

[@matthewmedley8532]

Absolutely superb. And brilliant musicianship also.

[@ProgrammedForDamage]

Freaked me out as a kid. My dad used to watch Tommy a lot. Probably why I love The Who.

[@MondoBeno]

I first watched this on VHS at age 11, wide-eyed and wondering what the hell I was seeing. When it was done I had to watch it again to be sure it wasn't a hallucination. Everything was fine, I wasn't crazy, this bizarre film was real. I called up my friends and insisted they watch it, and they all insisted on watching it again to make sure they weren't losing their minds. Then I called in my mother to watch it, and her reaction could've gone viral.

[@g.defraga4795]

RIP Tina! A true legend!

[@critter7052]

Tina's best performance! Thanks for posting!

[@glenking877]

What an epic individual who had the world in her hands for a long period of music history. Saw her twice once with the Ikettes in Brisbane 70s and again with Bryan Adams during her golden period mid 80s. To paraphrase one of Jagger's songs Tina was a gas gas gas.

[@TheSWolfe]

Rock in Peace and Blessed Be Eternal Ms.Turner, Acid Queen extraordinaire!

[@randygirard6691]

Okay this is a true story. The year was 1967 the place the Fillmore West I was 10 years when I saw the Ike and Tina Turner Review. Up till then I didn't like girls. That all changed that night!

[@deviritter5232]

She was the reason I went to see the movie when it came out. Totally mind-blowing performance in theaters. She was amazing. Never forgot it - first time I’ve seen it since then - etched into my brain.

[@jesseburleson432]

RIP Tina. You truly were the acid queen.

[@chibang492]

one of the greatest scenes in history 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@LuisCorro-qy1sf]

This song and movie, put her back on the map after leaving Ike Turner. When she recorded this song, she was playing back in clubs and small theaters; but after "Tommy" she went back to being the superstar she deserved to be. She never forgot what The Who did to her, playing this song and Wont Get Fooled Again on her last tour and concert date in 2009. She also recorded another song by The Who: I can see for Miles, on her "Acid Queen" album.

[@mikecoleman4628]

RIP to the Acid Queen

[@garygraham1383]

I've seen the musical on stage a few times and no version compares to Tina's.

[@newnanbro1]

At any age and any stage, Tina rocks ♨️🎙🎙

[@gregcompton9759]

This video doesn't show the entire scene. The Acid Queen opens up and Tommy steps into her body (sarcophagus??). He's then enclosed and injected simultaneously with (I assume) many built in syringes containing LSD. This is a significant element omitted. WHY ! ?

[@airevolt1]

Greg Compton time constraints

[@percyperanamus7432]

i was wondering why there was such a jarring cut from him on the bed to the floor

[@amd64alan]

you Are right

[@kerkiraz]

amd64alan Very good question and is answered in some detail in Roger Daltrey’s 2018 Book Thank you Mr Kibblewhite. Basically Ken Russel 😁 couldn’t make his mind up with different takes with snakes and Butterfly’s which were left out when edited because of problems with filming the scenes. The book comes across as very honest and down to earth Roger Daltrey was in amongst the chaos and carnage that was going on in the band and well and is worth a read.

[@joncampos5551]

Greg Compton True. Wish it had the entire scene.

[@robocop5935]

Tina turner. The queen. The greatest rocker of all time. What a legend.!!. I mean legend in every sence of the word.

[@clairebell3328]

This is one of my favourite scenes in the film, Tina is sooooooo excellent in this film

I love Tina Turner she was incredibly awesome in this movie i love the whole movie the Who were amazing in this too this has always been up there with my other favorite movies....

[@jenniferfelan694]

I have read her autobiography I Tina, My Life Story. It is a great read!

[@salviadivinorum1762]

RIP Tina Turner

[@dawndelosmuertos4025]

I saw this when it came out in theaters, this was my favorite scene, she just stole the show. I was 15 years old and yeah, the bunch of us that went had a really smoked filled car when we got to the theater., even shared a couple while watching. Still, a great movie.

[@cryptofamilyoz4913]

R.I.P Acid Queen 👸

[@amd64alan]

This is a classic , thanks for putting on utube.

[@79tazman]

Tina Bad ass Turner ROCKS that girl has some pipes on her

[@billfish7476]

Nothing today can come close to what was done when this was made.

[@eddieforfun]

It was distinctively "English"

[@kerryl3657]

Bill Fish - you are so right about that..

[@ja-is2lf]

It's been almost 50 years since this came out and the shot of T.T. shaking and gritting her teeth when Oliver Reed drags Roger Daltrey away still creeps me out!

[@johncurley4178]

Rest In Peace "Acid Queen"

A musical and cinematic highlight of a very special film 🫡

Rest in Peace Tina.... The Queen of rock and roll.

[@rembeadgc]

Makes one wonder what it would have been like if the Who were Tina's band. Right here they were and she matched them note for note.

[@trainer1634]

Tina Turner is an equal 2 the men of rock

[@BRIERFOX]

My mother took me to see this movie when I was six years old...I begged her. I have never been the same since. I enjoy junkyards.

[@SecondComingTwice]

That's funny. It was Rocky Horror that broke a tiny fragment of my brain. Tommy didn't phase me one iota Φ

[@deanmiccoli4519]

The bass is awesome in this song..Entwistle just rules

[@tabbygail7]

This was the scene I was most nervous about letting my daughter see when she insisted on seeing this movie.

[@wakingthewitch457]

I begged to see TOmmy when I was 10. My mom took me ... and she walked out on this scene, dragging me with her of course. I wanted to stay!

[@Monalisacat37]

Tina was badass before there was badass!

[@sirmojo4537]

This was my introduction to Tina Turner and was hooked on her since. And the shot of Roger Daltrey in his underwear became my first gay celebrity crush. ❤❤
