22 years ago today: Tina’s boyfriend; Azzedine

An audience recording of Tina Turner performing her single I Don’t Wanna Lose You, live during her concert on June 28, 1990 at the Palace of Versailles in France. The quality of the recording is not the best, but what is funny about the track is especially Tina’s introduction: “I’m gonna do this one for, my boyfriend. I call him Azzedine.” She is referring of course to Tunesian-French fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa, who designed many outfits for Tina during the 1980′s. But who knows, maybe her then still ‘new’ boyfriend Erwin Bach was also in the audience! A romantic love song on a summer’s evening!

I Don’t Wanna Lose You, Thomas Gottschalk!

It appears that any time Tina Turner performs on German television, this guy is also there: Thomas Gottschalk. He is Germany’s most famous TV presenter, and he has introduced and interviewed Tina in a variety of shows, most notably several times on Wetten, Dass…? When Tina and Children Beyond appeared at the Ein Herz Für Kinder-gala last December in Berlin, Thomas was also there: his last job for TV channel ZDF.
The clip above is however from another program in the beginning of 1990. The program ‘Das Waren Die Achtziger’ looks back at the 1980′s, including a small tribute to Tina’s hit song We Don’t Need Another Hero. Tina however appears on the show to perform her, at that time, new single I Don’t Wanna Lose You from the Foreign Affair album.

Tina Turner – Steel Claw live audio

A live version of the Tina Turner song Steel Claw. The studio version of this song appeared on Tina’s 1984 album Private Dancer, although she had already been performing this song in her live shows since the early 1980′s. The song is written by Paul Brady, an Irish singer-songwriter who also wrote the song Paradise Is Here that was featured on Tina’s 1986 Break Every Rule album. This live version of Steel Claw was featured as a b-side on several versions of the singles I Don’t Wanna Lose You and Look Me In The Heart, from her 1989 album Foreign Affair. It is unclear where this live version was recorded, the notes on the singles only state ‘recorded in Europe’. It was probably a leftover track from the recordings for her 1988 live album Tina Live in Europe. Click below to listen to the song and to read the lyrics.
