Tina Turner Album: “Live in Amsterdam: Wildest Dreams Tour”

This fabulous concert video was filmed in Amsterdam in the Amsterdam arena on DEcember 6th, 1996. It was part of the Wildest Dreams World Tour which played to over 3.5 million people and delivered 250 concerts. The setlist includes Whatever You Want, Do What YOu Do, River Deep Mountain High, Missing You, Wildest Dreams(on the DVD version only), Goldeneye, Private Dancer, We Dont Need Another Hero, Lets Stay Together(on DVD version only), I Cant Stand The Rain, Undercover Agent For the Blues, Steamy Windows, Givin It Up For Your Love, Better Be Good(on the DVD version only), Addicted To Love, The Best, Whats Love Got To Do With It, Proud Mary, Nutbush City Limits, and finished with On Silent Wings. The DVD version also has the video Something Beautiful Remains.

I'm a huge Tina fan. I've been to most of her concerts. I have several of her DVD's and, without a doubt, this is the best of the lot.

The sound (DTS) is unbelievable and the song selection is great. It's hard to believe she's as old as she is. Her stage presence and energy are tops.

If you want to have at least one Tina DVD, this is the one to have.

Well, I didn't have any previous records from Tina, in DVD or CD. I bought this DVD due to the great reviews it had in Amazon, and since I really love sound and was told this could test my system to the limit, I bought it.

This is definitely one of the best buy decisions I made.

This DVD is more than music. It's an experience. From the dynamic cameras, the music, the performance (dance and sing), the public (man, it *feels* like if you were there), everything will remind you WHY you inverted a lot of money into your system and what kind of experiences you can get out of it.

I always show two DVDs to people. With the first, Eagles: Hell Freezes Over DTS, people say 'This sounds really great, crystal clear'. With the second, this one, people just say 'WOW!' and start asking how much they would need to spend to buy a similar system.

If you love music, specially the 5.1 experiences, this is one of those 'must-have' DVDs. Being of an indredible quality, it doesn't have the crystal clear sound of Eagles: Hell Freezes Over DTS, nor the absolute purest image quality. But it has what made many of us buy a great system: bringing a full experience into your living-room.

I wish I could give this more then 5 stars. This concert tour was Tina's best concert. I almost did not buy this because I own this on video. When I recevied it, to my surprise, the DVD has four extra songs on it then the video. The songs are "Wildest Dreams" "Let's Stay Together" "Something Beautiful Remains" and "Better Be Good To Me" If anyone caught Tina on this tour, here is your chance to own the "complete" concert for ever!

After my disappointment with "One Last Time" (see my review), I decided to give this one a try. As far as I'm concerned, this DVD is a MUCH better buy! Frankly , I was surprised at the few negative reviews for this "Live in Amsterdam", I thoroughly enjoyed this one, both visually and soundwise, this was a huge improvement over "One Last Time".There is also much better camera work and editing on this one. Tina's raw energy and ability to hold an audience really shines through on this one, and it leaves no doubt as to what a class act she is and why she sells out arenas and stadiums, and even the guitar work and saxophone alone are worth the price of admission. I was really tempted to give this one the full five stars, but had to give it only 4 stars since my true feeling was for 4 and 1/2. The only flaw I really noticed was that Tina's voice seems to be weakening with age , which is to be expected, and I thought she had to struggle a bit in the higher ranges on a few numbers, which occasionally made her sound a bit forced, almost shouting the lyrics at times. But for the most part she gives you your money's worth , and I have no regrets about buying this one.
