They are deftly staged and so energetic that is it amazing that she and the girls are able to sing after dancing like that. The Felt Forum was a great place to see Ike & Tina, but The Electric Circus was the place to feel them.
Her dance numbers with The Ikettes are really incredible. She did other numbers like „Respect,“ (complete with a serio-comic monologue), „Land of 1000 Dances,“ a totally sensuous reading of Otis Redding's „I've Been Loving You Too Long,“ and her own, great stylized versions of the Beatles „Come Together,“ and the Rolling Stones „Honky Tonk Women.“ But, what she sang isn't nearly as important as what she does, physically and to the audience.
Tina opened with „Higher and Higher“ and then proceeded to go right in that direction. After Tina’s comeback, she worked many times with Mick and Keith, amongst others at the Live Aid Festival in 1985, her Break Every Rule Tour in 1988, the Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame and the International Rock Award in 1989. Beside her own set as an opening artist, she duetted also with Mick Jagger on „Honky Tonk Women“. In 1981, The Rolling Stones were on tour in America to promote their current album „Tattoo You“ and invited Tina once again to open for three dates at the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford. After the split from Ike, Tina worked on her solo career with her manager Roger Davies and covered many of their songs in her concerts. The next year, Ike & Tina recorded with Honky Tonk Women their first song from The Stones, released on the album Come Together.
At the concert on November 27 at Madison Square Garden in New York, Janis Joplin was in the audience and jumped on stage for an unplanned duet with Tina on the last song „Land of 1.000 Dances“. The performance of I’ve Been Loving You Too Long was included in the concert movie Gimme Shelter in 1970 and the complete performance of their opening set was released on the anniversary edition of the album Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! in 2009. Three years later, The Stones asked Ike & Tina again to open their American tour in November 1969, which gave them a higher profile among young rock audiences. First in 1966, with the success of River Deep, Mountain High in England, Ike & Tina Turner were invited to perform with The Rolling Stones as an opening act at their UK tour. The Rolling Stones had a great influence on Tina Turner's career.
