The
Ike & Tina
Turner Revue shakes the foundation at Carnegie Hall on April Fools Day, 1971! There's a good reason for there being so many live albums by
Ike & Tina – it's because they're damn great on stage – and this NYC set is a strong showcase for The Ikettes and The
Kings Of Rhythm, too! The group was riding a peak wave
of popularity around this time, and they cover a wide variety
of songs in a set that's masterfully-paced – starting out slow and building up intensity as it goes! Titles include the Ikettes-led "Piece
Of My Heart" and "Everyday People", the thunderous Tina intro "Doin' The Tina
Turner", "Sweet Soul Music", "Proud Mary", "I Smell Trouble", "
Ike's Tune", "I Want To Take You Higher", "I've Been Loving You Too Long", "Respect" and more.
