IKE & TINA TURNER - RIVER DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH LIVE 1973

[BigwalleyesDotCom]

Un freakin believable

[virgosquad]

Like I said before, Yes maam (Tina and the Ikettes) and yessir (Ike): Get the damned thing done!

[CreatingExcellence]

There will be another Tina Turner, but can't someone at least try?

[1bridlington]

Not as good as the original recording - no wall of sound.

[raponte1955]

@1bridlington Yes, and the maraccas are a stupid distraction!

[Kiltedwolf]

This version completely dumps the original melody line in the vocals. That was the real hook of this song. Shame that they changed it later one. :-/

[TheSixtiesCapitalist]

It's so hard to say who was the best female singer in rock/pop history. I'd say the top three contenders are: Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin. Aretha was a soul singer and the best at it. Janis was a blues singer and the best at it. Tina Turner, when all is said and done, was The Bomb! She was a professional way before Aretha and Janis even started out. Tina is STILL rockin' out. Nobody could belt it out like Tina. Damn, was she HOT back in The Day. I'd say it's Tina ... #1.

[berlinteo]

2:10, wow!

[keithjones6969]

Did u kno she inspired Brian Johnson of Ac/dC?? believe it motherfuckers.

[KyobeTube]

soulful !

[snakelake]

I could be mistaken, but isn't this from 1971

[farwayout]

@snakelake No, you are not mistaken-IT IS FROM 1971!

[gipsycrazy]

she is a monster

[exualmet]

Tina rocks.. Ike's just, well, you know... thanks for posting..

[FanOfJanis]

Sorry about misspelling TINA! Was in a hurry. What a hoot!

[FanOfJanis]

Tinay was arguably The Best Ever. Check out The Ikettes ... gotta love 'em.

Is there ANYBODY nearly this good these days?

Yes ... JOSS STONE!

Check Joss out if you haven't seen her yet.  Check out her "Son of a Preacher Man" video for the British Hall of Family members Awards show.

You'll be glad you did, ... really. Peace.

[nikkib2903]

god i love hw young and fresh her voice sounds there... she is and always will be simply the best. ;) xx

[farwayout]

Tina simply put her heart and soul into her music-her passion is certainly shown on these videos-to Tina-your incredible and awesome!!!

[origins1965]

Most of today's singers are based on shallow image only & very little talent. Back in the 1950's thru 1980's, you had to have talent & a singing voice to make it......the quality of the song, voice strength, melody,the voice range, creativity of the sound & raw passion was far superior then. Thank God for youtube to bring back these classics back to life.

[FanOfJanis]

Absolutely right!

[PapaWolfman]

@origins1965 A big huge ditto to that my friend!!!!

[cherkit]

So wild ..so real so hight

[FanOfJanis]

Personal picks for favorite female singers:

1.)  Janis Joplin

2.) Tina Turner (Annie Mae Bullock)

3.) Arethra Franklin.

Of course, there are many other greats. Tina could easily be considered Number One. The power. The passion. The style. Tell me this woman isn't gorgeous, and I'll say, "You're blind, man!" Best of all, she's a great person ... and is STILL rockin' out!

Love you, Tina! Check out the Ickettes. What a hoot. Amazing, amazing performance.

[TheYoungLion08]

The power and range showcased in this song is INCREDIBLE.... simply one of my favorites. Go head Tina!!!!

[leopoldienna]

whoo wat is ze goed

[ElectricLabel]

Tina Turner = Goddess

[misterhyla]

Ike and Tina were making their rounds to juke joints and honky tonks back then and they rolled into a juke joint in central missouri one night and OOOOHHHHH' what a show did they put on' LOVED IT" LOVED IT"

[misterhyla]

the older she got the better she started looking and I think that is what pissed Ike off

[samanthatomo]

wot a woman all the shit she went threw wiv ike the film made me cry...tina is gr8

[tristandrews]

This is the best remix done live Tina you are just great happy birthday Tina you still look great

[reginaldwalterdavid1]

some woman-every mans dream

[jumpingjess09]

It's a different song - only the lyrics are the same - but it's pretty good anyway.

[marksixtyone]

methinks this is actually 1971!

[petsounds75]

It is 1971. By 1973 those psychedelic effects were rather passe.

[AGONIAmusic]

WHAT A VOICE!

[buckelastard]

Tina is the bomb! Such a great performer! And has a wonderful heart. Cant see why Ike would of treated her in the way he did. Im so glad she got past that and deserves the recognition she's earned! She gives 100% in every performance! And one of the best concerts Ive ever seen!

Thanks Kosmic Janis for sending me this video.

[dizyrache]

tina looks awesome and sounds it also, ya know it amazes me how bands of today can even try to compare themselves to legends like this!!

[reginaldwalterdavid1]

todays singers ( and bands ) stand no chance against performers like Tina and Ike's band. With the enhanced electronics of today most of them should be ashamed of themselves for thinking they are 'Singers etc'

[FanOfJanis]

... meant to say SAW Tina ... not SAY Tina ... Ooops, sorry about that.

[FanOfJanis]

To IRONMUNSTER: Thanks for posting this vid! Many, many younger folks never, ever say Tina back in her heyday. Thanks to you, now they can see just how amazing she was back in The Day! You've done a real service to younger viewers put putting this on YouTube. Thanks again, man! Peace.

[FanOfJanis]

Folks, we could argue back and forth all day long about who's The Best: Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner or Janis Joplin ... when it comes to beltin' it out. Know what? It doesn't matter who's The Best. THEY'RE ALL AWESOME! I've loved Tina for 40+ years now, and I STILL do! Cook, Mama, cook!!! She's goin' on tour again this summer ... and she's almost 70! Oh, yeah!!! Dig it! Peace.

[avinama]

This has got to be the all-time best rendering of this song. Such power! And such a voice! She really throws herself into it. I don't think anyone will ever beat this. Thanks, Ironmunster for sharing it.

[pikobellolollo]

she is still one of a few queens of voices!

[misterhyla]

Tina you still have a hot body even at 68. so dance and sweat until you are dripping wet

[steelzndeelz]

what a talent! and she is smoking hot!

[steelzndeelz]
