Tina Live in Europe


Tina Live in Europe is the first live album by Tina Turner, released on Capitol Records on March 21, 1988.

Composition

The album is compiled of live performances made between 1985 and 1987, the majority of which are from Turner's Break Every Rule World Tour but also from the 1985 Private Dancer Tour, as well as the 1986 Tina Turner: Break Every Rule HBO special recorded in London at the Camden Palace, masquerading as Le Club Zero in Paris, also released on video.
The double CD version of Tina Live in Europe includes four bonus songs not featured on the original double vinyl album. Certain limited editions of the double LP included a bonus one-sided 7" single or CD single featuring an exclusive "Tender Remix" of "Two People", mixed by Ben Liebrand.

Critical reception

In 1989 the album won a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
