  2. 27 years… and I was thinking about 25 years! I was 4 years old at the time and I have idolised Tina ever since. I still often watch this concert.It’s a shame the full version is not shown, we miss out on great live songs like steel claw. Luckily, proud mary,nutbush and river deep are on other live concerts.

    1. Yes, the full show in Birmingham must have been recorded. I say it is time for Tina and her team to start opening the vaults and re-release this concert with bonus tracks on dvd and blu-ray!
