12 years ago today, Tina Turner performed at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, United States. This was one of two ‘Millenium concerts’, the second concert took place one day later on December 31st. The shows were double headliner gigs with Elton John. Tina & Elton were originally supposed to go on tour together, but these plans were cancelled after an argument during the rehearsals for their Divas Live appearance earlier that year (see here). These two concerts in Las Vegas were the only shows they did together, however, Tina and Elton played separate sets and didn’t appear on stage together. The show on December 30 was open to everybody, the real new year’s eve show a day later was a private show. Below, you will find three songs from this concert and the set list of Tina’s show.

thank you for sharing these tracks.
her live version of “missing you” is simply beautiful, haunting and deeply soulful – i wish it were available.

You’re welcome! Missing You is especially interesting: very well performed, but it seems like her voice changed quite a bit form the Wildest Dreams tour. This must have been the last time she performed Missing You live. It’s a shame, would’ve loved to have heard it during the last tour. Very raw emotions and Tina really makes it her own!

I agree her voice is much weaker here than during the WD era. But the instrumentation is lovely!

You’re welcome! Tina was first, Elton came after her. During the introductions she actually mentions that Jack Bruno is also playing later in Elton’s band because ‘he’s that good!’.

I have always found ‘missing you’ full of deep, raw emotion, whether it is performed studio or live. It seems to move me every time I listen to it. I love this song.

Oh, there was a mistake in the set list, I put The Best instead of Nutbush as the final song. It’s corrected now. Thanks for notifying us!

for me she was not at her best vocally during this concert, just listen to this Steamy Windows and listen to the one recorded on her birthday and remember she had flu on her birthday concert but it’s still more powerful than this, she seems to struggle a bit more with her voice here anyway thanx for posting, i wish i could see the visual concert

You’re welcome, and I agree, her voice was a bit off somehow. But she did a lot of promotion in those months for her new album, and it was her first full concert in more than 2 years: she even mentions this some time during the show. So, she wasn’t in the best shape maybe.

I think this is the best rendition of Missing You…I especially love the piano arrangement, especially the piano bit after she sings “Sending you this signal tonight…” it’s brilliant! 🙂

i never experienced a worse concert of tina as the one on 30th dec. she was in a bad mood but as always professional. In the beginning she apologised for not having had time for rehearsal….and her russian background singer and dancer were awful. The audience was full of asiens who won the tickets in the casinos…and they slept during the concert! The whole first rows were full of sleeping and bored asien tourists. that was really a shame for everyone, including for tina who obviousley had no fun on stage, too.

I was at the private Millenium 12/31/99 Caesars Palace concert and she was amazing! She handed me the mic during What’s Love Got To Do With It and we got to sing with her. Thrill of a lifetime! The show was taped, but I couldn’t track down a way to get a copy. I’d love to buy a video of that show!!

Creo que missin you está un tono más bajo que la versión original, para que Tina llegue, porque en esta era se le nota que estaba mal de la voz.
