LOVE this song, should have been released as a single. The album version is miles better, this one lacks the energy of the original, but I'm still thrilled to hear a live version. The guitar player looks really dumb with his dangling cig, though.
@Cicilo1983 I have agree with you. The album version compared to this version is a million times better. However, while on her 1985 she made the live version a million times better than the album version.
This is from her 1984 tour. Tina didn't record her Private Dancer tracks until February 1984! Took her 2 weeks to record the entire album!!
@jayrock905, I didn't know she performed it on her Private Dancer tour ! The tour video didn't include this song, I guess it must have been edited. I'm sure it was amazing to hear that one live after she recorded a definitive version on her album !
@Cicilo1983 It was performed in Birmingham, and at other stops on the tour. I know Helsinki, Frankfurt, Atlanta, Australia and Japan. The audio is around somewhere I have it on a CD somewhere.It's even longer than this version
She's awesome and the band is ok, but it has a mushy feel to it. I love the kick-ass version on the album. Jeff Beck's guitar has attitude and says it all!
You can listen to a version of this song by the writer, Paul Brady, and his band live from a club in Ireland with a great guitar solo by Phil Palmer on Paul Brady's website. Best ever!
Nope, not 1982. "Private Dancer" (album) came in 1984, so this is totally unlikely she'd play a song live which she plans to release 2 years later. Dismissed =)
Yes. This is a cover song. The writer, Paul Brady, originally recorded the song in 1980. It was released first by Dave Edmunds and then Tina. Besides from 1975-1983, Tina had no original songs so when touring, she covered many songs. The concert was around the time of Tina's success with BEF, which was in 1982
directly to Favorites!

It's a very important political song about what it's like to grow up in poverty in America and the politicians don't give a shit. It's excellent!

I think the song is talking about when you deal with someone who is bad you get bad in life so aint no need of complaining and dont be surprised.
