March 22, 2009: TINA live in Arnhem

Tina Turner Live 2009

8 years ago, Tina Turner was in the middle of a series of concerts (March 21 and 22 and May 2) at the GelreDome in Arnhem, The Netherlands. The shows were the biggest during Tina’s 50th Anniversary Tour, with approximately 33,000 fans in the stadium each night. Together with the concert in Prague, these were the only concerts with a standing audience. For this reason, the show was recorded for the dvd of the tour, but it was special also for a lot of other reasons, you read all about it here…

To celebrate, two new video uploads from TINA’s last tour, not from Arnhem but from Helsinki with a powerful rendition of ‘We Don’t Need Another Hero’ and one of Tina’s all time favorite song ‘Addicted To Love’ ! Enjoy!

February 19, 2009: Tina fighting Philip on stage in Mannheim, Germany


A very short, but funny, video of Tina Turner ‘punching’ her Ninja Philip Sahagun on stage during the band introductions of her concert in Mannheim, Germany on February 19, 2009. The four Ninja’s were performing their martial art skills during the costume changes on Tina’s last tour in 2008 and 2009. During the band introductions, Tina gave them the stage to show some tricks to the audience. This day, Tina herself decided she would join them with her acting skills, the result: a knock-out in round one! As Tina would say: just having fun! Big thank you to Lars who recorded this video.

April 11, 2009: Tina performs in Dublin, Ireland

2 years ago today, Tina Turner performed the final 2 shows in Dublin, Ireland. She already played 2 shows at the same venue in March. All four shows were sold out in record time. Surely, one of the best gigs of the tour. Tina and the band were in a great mood. Originally planned to be the final shows of the tour, Tina, band and crew celebrated a tour closing party at the Guinness brewery. The audience was singing along to all of the songs, and the venue, an amphitheater, made sure everybody was close to the stage, making these the most intimate concerts of the tour. All in all, a great experience! Below you’ll find a selection of almost 200 photos, taken by Sjef during the concerts on April 11 and 12.

February 23, 2009: Tina performs in Munich, Germany

 Tina Turner - Olympiahalle, München - February 23, 2009 - ticket

2 years ago on this date, Tina Turner performed the first of four sold out shows in Munich’s Olympiahalle. These shows were the last of her 16-date German tour. Tina was greeted by a very enthusiastic crowd, perhaps due to the fact that Munich was celebrating Carnival at that time. Below are some newspaper clippings about these concerts. In two days, a gallery with more than 100 photos from these concerts, taken by Sjef, will be added in a seperate post. Enjoy!
