Wonderfully directed, Wildest Dreams Tour makes a viewer feel practically omnipresent at Tina Turner's 1996, three-night stand in the Amsterdam Arena. With camera angles seemingly coming from everywhere, the massive scope of Turner's show is put into a proper, and enjoyable, visual context, along with the star's own artful way of reaching 50,000 fans at a shot with fierce energy but an unmistakably nuanced performance. Turner's secret weapon: her voice, with its whiplash gospel, survivor's pride, and endless capacity for ecstasy. It doesn't matter if she's dancing as if her life depended on it or launching tiny ripples of erotic warmth with the barest of gestures: she still flaunts for this Dutch crowd her share of Jerry Lee Lewis's profane fire. Starting in fourth gear with "Whatever You Want," Turner takes a detour through the too-precious "Do What You Do" before time-traveling to the Phil Spector-produced "River Deep Mountain High" (featuring the star singing along with her younger self in a 1960s film clip). "In Your Wildest Dreams" is a lulling bath of sexual longing, and "GoldenEye" is pure, Bond-ian fun. The 21 tracks are heavy with past hits, none of which disappoint: "Proud Mary," "What's Love Got to Do with It." The final performance, "Something Beautiful Remains," is a hard-won epiphany. --Tom Keogh

Tina - Live in Amsterdam........2007-04-12

This is a great concert by Tina.
Very entertaining from start to finish.
Nowhere near as good as Tina - One last time in concert ( which was brilliant) but still extremely good and a must have for any fan of Tina.

Tina Turner Live in Amsterdam - Wildest Dreams Tour.......2006-08-29

Absolutely fantastic DVD. A must see for any Tina fan.

Simply the Best. . . ........2006-07-21

This DVD came out roughly 3-4 years after I got to see Tina live in New York City in 1993. This was around the time of the movie "What's Love Got to Do With It, " and Tina was a stunning 53 years old! Gliding across the stage for two hours in spike heels as if she were on rollerblades--something you have to see to believe--what a fireball of a show she gave that night! I have had the privilege of seeing many great performers but Tina Turner remains one of the VERY best and it's no stretch to say that it can't be topped! Then, as now, I felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see and enjoy a legend in her supposed "twilight."

I recently purchased and watched "Wildest Dreams" and this live show given in Amsterdam brought back the glorious memory of that incredible show at Jones Beach in NYC. The only (very slight) disappointment of the DVD is the section when Tina decides to sit and sing two or three of my all-time favorites from her: "Let's Stay Together," "Steamy Windows" and "Undercover Agent for the Blues." At Jones Beach, she performed the latter two showstoppers with her dancers--you haven't lived until you've seen her outdance two girls that could pass for her daughters in an opening stunner like "Steamy Windows." Simply amazing! It's safe to say that people half her age and younger could not keep up with the manic energy, exquisite choreography and sexiness she projects. So seeing her on the DVD, performing those sizzlers while seated was a bit of a letdown--especially since she could barely contain herself even while seated! Despite this, "Wildest Dreams" is almost letter-perfect (No words can quite describe her electrifying performances of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love," "Do what you Do" and her signature "Proud Mary" here). This DVD captures with perfect clarity the astounding prowess of one of the most generous and giving performers ever to grace any stage in ANY genre. . . .

Terrific sound! Great songs!.......2006-01-21

Tina still has it. Her band is the best I've ever seen or heard! My only problem with this DVD is the fact that the band - no matter how spectacular it sounds - over-powers Tina's voice. Still the DTS is amazing! Song selection is terrific!
