As we talked about Tina, I said to my friend, ‘promise me that if Tina ever goes out on tour again, we’ll go together!’ He agreed, but neither of us really thought she would ever tour again. She was, after all, close to 70!
Imagine my shock when this summer I saw an advertisement that said that Tina Turner was going back on tour. As the shock wore off, I quickly researched where Tina might be touring and found she’d be coming for two shows in Boston in November.
The ticket prices at the Garden!!!!
I love Tina, but $150 for a concert ticket? In a matter of minutes, I went from disbelief to – best way to learn to play piano – excitement to utter disappointment. My dream of seeing Tina in concert, in my lifetime, was squashed by $150! Granted, I could have gone for $60, but who wants to see someone like Tina from the nosebleed seats? Not me. For the next few months, learn how to play piano fast I was resigned to the fact that I would not go see Tina Turner. But in truth, I contemplated going and not going about a hundred times. In late October, I came to the realization that if I did not see Tina Turner in concert, I would regret it for the rest of my life.
So with only two weeks left, I set out to buy whatever ticket I could for the highest price. When I went to the box office, I was shocked when they told me they had a floor seat, center section, 12th row. Apparently, a few seats had just opened up and I was in the right place at the right time! SOLD!
When I arrived at the Garden for the concert, I was surprised at how close 12th row actually was. I was, unfortunately, by myself at the concert as my friend was unable to join me in Boston for the show. The concert started about 45 minutes late but as soon as the very, very, very tall red curtains opened, I realized that this experience was worth every penny I paid!
Tina Turner is learn how to play piano fast amazing. She would sing three to four songs and then would go do a costume change. When the stage set changed to what looked like the Cirque du Soleil Ka set in Las Vegas, I knew it had to be for Mad Max! Tina came out in a huge blonde wig and an outfit resembling her ensemble for the Mad Max movie. The whole set changed for just this one song. It was incredible!!!
Tina took a break for about a half hour and I wanted to go buy a shirt as a souvenir. Unfortunately, the ‘baby doll’ sizes are for about a size six woman! So, I didn’t get a shirt. Boo!!
When Tina came back from her break, her stage set was simple. Everyone was screaming, clapping and on learn how to play piano fast their feet! Everyone had cameras and to the delight of learn how to play piano fast us all, we were allowed to take as many photos as we wanted! It was amazing!
I cannot describe the feelings I had as I stood there and watched this legend perform.
What a woman! What a voice! What a body! Tina Turner is back on tour! And to use her own words, Tina Turner is Simply the Best. There is no better way to say it. I have seen Cher and I loved loved loved her show. Her audience interaction was incredible, and to see Cher was, again, seeing a living legend.
