Ike & Tina Turner - Honky Tonk Woman 1970

[BlazingSaddelz]

I like this.

[yieldyieldyield]

Bette Midler once said in an interview that she was so inspired by seeing Tina live, and she also inspired her to form a trio of backup girls for herself, The Harlettes. Notable Harlettes were Katey Sagal from Sons of Anarchy...and the great and funny actress Jenifer Lewis (who later would play Tina's mom Zelma in the movie What's Love Got to Do With It.)

[salkin727]

the best!!

[k00lkatt]

Tina's stage presence eclipses every female vocalist past and present, the world over. She's a national treasure - hands down.

[alanmeires]

@k00lkatt yes shes class 

[TheDrmedina]

So much better than either of the Rolling Stones versions that it defies belief!

[Keef19661]

Вот это певица!!! Класс!!!

[rbhiphopsux]

This is a very good cover...

Respect to Gram Parsons...

[rugbybem]

Didn't Ike Turner blow it big time. Losing a woman like Tina. He could have been set up for life.

[PAULLONDEN]

Can imagine Ike had all he could handle with these hot Ikettes.They fuckin steal the show from Tina, also.You're asking for trouble Ms .T ,having 0:09 on your backline.

[NazRabi]

@PAULLONDEN Disagree with you on this one buddy. Tina is gorgeous from the tip of her hair to the tip of her toe-nail. The Ikette's were hot but the little lady at the microphone steals the show, every show, every time. Waddda fuckin voice too!!!

[yieldyieldyield]

@PAULLONDEN Tina and the girls were very close. Ike probably screwed every single one of them at one point or another. They always had Tina's back, though.

[zwillingandreas]

like a black magic lady

[lucymichael9]

ITS ALL ABOUT TINA!

[Teddybearboy]

How does one find back-up singers like these girls nowadays?

[Phillysoc]

@gerry909 Of course the fact that the Stones wrote and created this song doesnt play anything into your analysis does it? Of course not......we dont think that deep.

[stuckinthemud2]

Damn, best cover of this ever! She's on fire here!

[Fiendishfoe666]

@stuckinthemud2 Tina and Ike always did great covers, their version of Proud Mary is awesome.

[rhiannonblues]

That woman just exudes sex and class.

[beztez24]

honky tonk women? whats this song about then?? a? a? a?

[hnm3000hnm3000]

Nice version, nice show.

[Luarrangel]

Interesting!!

[beyoncetyratina]

Gosh damn. This was the Tina Turner I fell in love with! She was extremely exquisite and knew how to put on a show. It's no wonder why she still has so many fans! She was gorgeous from the beginning of her career, until now!

Say, do you guys know what happened to the video where she wears that purple dress? I think it was in the Netherlands?

[tita4ewa]

Damn!

She owns it in every way. She makes Jagger blush.

[enigmaatual]

[173rdbobby1967]

@billg2089 hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eestiqaatsi]

Tina is even more special when she sings the tunes of the Stones.

[SaskiaCornell]

1970 is the year I became a fan of Tina

Saskia

[andromelas]

why shes the baddess mutha in rock and roll

[paddyoski]

Dayum - it was good to be alive in the 70's.  Halter tops, mini-skirts and rock-n-roll

[AZUREE100]

MERCY-A GIN SOAKED MAN and IKE ???? TINA'S IT

[Nobodie92]

Ike: "I'm gonna hit you with my boot girl!"

[MSSS971]

i LOVE this !!! like every prestationof the amazing Tina

[tenapage]

tina is GITTIN' it. and her dancers are kinda vicious--dancing their butts off and coming back to the mic not missing a note. but i guess with ike as a boss...

[SaskiaCornell]

So great to see this again - love you Tina

[gloorbit]

Sad.

[aaprcopenguin]

wow, a very early Tina Turner! Cool vid.Thanks for posting it.

[guillll]

Tina IS sex.

[mikeyray68]

i dont like this version compared to rolling stones!

[laerteaga]

she looks like a Williams sister

[msbadkitti]

Tina kicks ass!!!!

[TheThomasthomas69]

ike,s fro is a belter



[jamesjonesrocket]

nice legs girls (great song as well, goes without saying really)

[TheSocratease]

@jamesjonesrocket wasn't nobody getting up onstage with Tina with chicken legs.  LOL.

[eamonosu]

fab dancing, i love it ;D

[rodentcafeteria]

I truly believe Tina Turner was sent here from another planet to show us mere mortals how to REALLY rock!! No one can touch her.

[StarlightJones]

Jesus.

[egojosepio]

Incombustible Tina!

[CurlyHairChris]

Right now, I am gin-soaked. 

[sargoth37]

You got to admit Ike Turner really knew how to arrange some down and dirty Rhythm and Blues. I just wish he finished his solo. He just stopped in the middle of it. Vastly superior to the Stones version. Best I ever heard in fact.

[Diatommy554]

0:59 damn

[tubemikey]

How hard would it have been for the drummer to use the damn cowbell? Does he not have one?

[thegoldenfifties]

Real RocknRoll, great TT, faboulus Ikettes, glorius horns

[121126]

please find some luv for IKE he was right at ground zero on a lot of great times that could get unhealthy if left unchecked

[boocilous]

She makes me doubt my sexuality!

[boocilous]

She makes me doubt my sexuality1

[senzarep]

Cool cover version of Tina. But the stones are still better.

[saracaree]

i hate the videography in her videos..it sucks ass..they make us suffer.. i dont wanna loook at the ikettes and the revue every 5 secs

[theoriginalbadbob]

Why, at 1:45, does the camera not stay on Tina? She was rocking out, but the viewer doesn't get to see it.

[scoobidy]

AMAZING!!!! TINA ROCKS!

[bigdaddyofaz]

my daughter luvs this song

[resoblues]

Tina is a Goddess of rock. Ike is a piece of crap always will be.

[jenniferjuniper97]

The hottest female singer in soul history!

[romascella]

dilicia!

[jdekruijf10]

ze is en blijft gewoon de beste. ze is de popkoningin. she is symply the best!!!!

[Zebra902]

NOBODY sings Honkey Tonk Woman as well as Tina does. Saw her in concert in college back in the 70's, and she brought the house down!!! Too bad her dipstick husband was with her then. He was nothing without Tina.

[subimedia]

check out her dancers n harmoniscists! Fucking awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrStupidHead]

OK so this is where the bar is set.... bring it on... and what female can beat it now. This my good friends is scorching.. But I'm open to hear it done better.

That should be the American Idol competiton. Beat this....

[photodharma]

That's HOT! Tina was Scorchin' back in the day. w0w

[italiantank003]

She is so freaking hot

[mehendil]

Damn, she's so hot

[FBIcardenas]

great!!!!

[PUBSHAMROCKS]

Y IS SHE SO BLESSED BY JESUS?

[DonnaJ101089]

@PUBSHAMROCKS because she seen the worse of the worse and he gave her a gift.

[CountryPeter]

Ich mag Tina, alerdings vom Original weit entfernt

[kukubau]

simply .... AWESOME !!!.... Thanks !

[costaz13]

puts the stones to shame

[lolgirly100]

@costaz13 the rolling stones sing this way better, a/ they originally sang it and the lyrics don't give off the same feeling of sadness b/ are you out of your mind?!?

it's about a guy who had an affair with a women and is feeling upset because she isn't with him anymore and him scoring with a girl at the bar on the rebound but he is really drunk

[SigandGibbs]

@costaz13 uh, no. Sorry.

[CavenEdwards]

Great!!!!

Hell, I like it as much as the Stones version. The horns adds an extra dynamic

[CavenEdwards]

Great!!!!

[Raving]

Jeez! There is just something so raw and primal about this woman. She just drips with sexiness and sensuality from every pore.

[DWGarvin]

@Raving AMEN brother!!!!

[tyroncenidas]

tina was so hot then, deym

[freejack]

one of my favorite performances and songs.

[dsfddsgh]

Isn't it sad that we've gone from this to the complete shit that music has become since the late 90's? In the late 60's early 70's we had Tina now we have Britney. Just pathetic.

[SuperColin74]

@dsfddsgh this type of music isnt mainstream you have to go and look for it..

[johndeerishere]

I like the back singers/dancers - especially the one in the middle - Lord have mercy, lol. Thanks for the upload!

[johndeerishere]

@johndeerishere

I meant to say backup singers/dancers....

[YohanN7]

Had there been a twenty-graded scale I would have given it only nineteen. Why? There is a chord missing in the beginning, and I'm pretty sure thats why T hurself turns around and says something pretty nasty to the band. Whatever she said it made them perform.

[121126]

ike you did good r.i.p

[RedZeppelin]

it's no easy feat to outperform and outsex the Stones, but Ike and Tina do!

[Delizia09]

guessing she wants a white man XD

[flintrox]

Never knew this existed. Great entertainment. Wow good guitar great looking girls. Was Ike playing on this? Please let me know.

[sargoth37]

Of course Ike's playing

[sargoth37]

Anyone know what amp he's using? Or what year his Strat is cause it sounds so dam good. That is the kind of tone i like, bright, clean with some echo to it. What is it that gives that tone? I've read somewhere it was the old single coil pick ups with colbalt magnets. Certain types of string? Old Fenders and Gretchs usually have that sound.

[Barnekkid]

Yeah, that's Ike Turner you hear with the compressed sounding strat tones. If you watch the vid closely you can see him. He's the guitar guy with the afro do.

[scattypants]

B O R I N G

[minnesotajack]

SHe says " I wanna tell you that - uh"

[TheNorsewarrior]

She say's "everybody join in now"

[BushZappa]

at 1:26-1:27 she says vagina?

[vlady1974]

@BushZappa : LOL... i think she says, "I'm gonna tellya now" real fast.... but i like your suggestion... had to replay it 3 times to figure out how you heard that! ..... "and my vagina now" woo hoo!

[BushZappa]

vlady, I listened again, and I really don't think she is saying "I'm gonna tellya now." Nope I hear "blew my nose and then he blew mind... and vagina." btw nice name.

[avlisk]

Amazing what a real singer can do with this song. As someone once said, it's the singer, not the song. Nice job Tina.

[Priestfilms]

"It's the singer not the song,

That makes the music move along,

I want you to join together with the band,

This is the biggest band you'll find,

It's as deep as it is wide,

Come on and join together with the band..."

Join Together / The Who

[lachanteuse1]

Love Ike's fro.. considering her insipid performances post 70s, you'd think it was true when Ike said, "I am tina!" Miss you Ike!

[sharihotsu78]

@lachanteuse1 RIP ike :) . Tina post 70's performances are not insipid! you don't know nothing about musica...

[121126]

FRITZ 51175 thanks for sharing tina cover stones ,have ever caught PACFIC GAS &ELECTRIC ARE YOU READY

[momoshemon]

QUEEN OF ROCK AND ROLL!!!!

[manfromso]

[CalgarySandy]

I don't see Ike in this. Thank god. We never liked him. Tina was the draw and now wonder.

[theacidking78]

[canoni1]

[BjVVest]

[alcenirbarbosa]

Uma autêntica rainha do rock.Salve TINA.

[michaelp3138]

[Diegoshigueokato]

ooooookeeeeeeeeeee

[yosogomo]

yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss­sss!

[momojiro2239]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah

[DonnaDeAngelo]

LOL!!!!!!!!

[luizahelenad]

São realizações diferentes para a mesma música por artistas "C-O-L-O-S-S-A-I-S!!!! Não há comparação, apenas apreciação!!!

[UTubeMeTubeWeTube]

The video is as good as anything that might be produced today! Solid Gold Jerry, Solid Gold!!!!

[sargoth37]

I recently saw a concert of hers of the same time period on PBS i think. It was in London, The wierd thing was, the audience sat there completely stone faced like robots at an insurance seminar. That must have been so difficult to perform. You gotta give them credit.

[SoulfulStokie]

I think the concert you are referring to is "The Legends Live In '71" which was filmed in Holland, not the UK.

[Mariontl]

I Love Tina ! Never heard her sing this before - great version!

[sargoth37]

Agreed!! Much better than the stones version. Just wish Ike had wailed on that guitar more in the solo cuase it sounded so good. I got the album, which was supposed to be the same version but didn't sound nearly as good as this video.

[rickythegroover]

the voice is better, the arrangement by the Stones is  better

[SPOOKSTR]

WAY BETTER THAN THE STONES VERSION !!!!! Rock on Tina.

[cutegrandma]

Tina and I are the same age; only she is probably a little "hotter" than I am......love her music.....

[heartbeat3]

Cause i just cant seem to drink you off my mind

Rock it Tina your the best

[PRican190]

Tina Turner is the only female that can truly rock n roll! god bless her

[notandistintos1982]

ESAS PRNASS

[lakota66]

i can only say this: every song she is performing comes from her deepest soul. so i feel it. what energy and joy she brings on stage.

[goolyisthebest]

as far  was covers go this is fucking great

[jlc0123]

better than the Stones in my opinion..

[sharihotsu78]

mine too ;P

[BulletWithYerName]

When Tina really belts it out and her voice gets raspy...god that is so sexy.

[Flammiedrum]

I hope those dancers don't hurt themselves.

[stripedsockscat]

I know! Ha! They sort of look like they're having spasms.

[themindminder]

Ike Turner probably coriagraphed the backing singers dance movements at 0:57

[beyoncetyratina]

Lol i have to agree with you.

hmm... almost all the songs she sings that's not originally her's, she makes it sound better.

[momojiro2239]

so funky !!

[swedishguitarist1]

Love her voice <33

[zorbazig]

Funny to see that the Stones were inspired by black music, then were so good that black musicians sang their songs !... Pure bliss !

[Sincopare]

Sillhouettes simply amaze...and i love the ike-ettes dance at 1:00. I have to laugh...I read a post here about this video getting airplay during the very early MTV days. I wonder who's call that was...sticking this kind of strut in the middle of hair bands...

[ElFlakoRompanTodo]

she changed the lyrics!

[Zango]

haha of course she did, otherwise she would look a lesbian haha

[ledia84k]

What a performer. WOW

[BardleyCfan]

go tina go we love you

[fernandezdecepeda]

I love you Tina! You're the best in all the World, in 3 years I'll convert myself to Buddhism. Thank you very much :)

[tinaturnerfan84]

Honky tonk TINA !!!! great video

[gR8FuLpOnTiAc]

[ShipuGangster]
