Summary: Good concert, but her voice annoys after awhile
Review: I am a big Tina Turner fan who personally thinks she sounds better on record, than live. This concert is enjoyable, but after awhile her voice is annoying because she tends to scream. Tina has a good voice, but not great, in my opinion. Her studio recordings have always sounded better probably because she can do them again and again until she gets them perfect. Concerts don't allow such luxuries.This DVD is available in a 5.1 surround sound version, or DTS version. I have the 5.1 surround DVD and it is more than adequate. I have to ask why the concert wasn't filmed in widescreen to give the viewer more of a feel for the concert. The DVD also includes a lengthy interview with Tina where she discusses each track of the then new album "Wildest Dreams". The interview, while promotional based, is very enjoyable and contains video excerpts for each album track.

Summary: More stars are needed for this one!!!
Review: I caught this tour when she hit Knoxville in '97, and it was the first major concert I had ever been to. What a way to start out, huh? This DVD captures the energy and excitement of her show in a way that's fantastic! The picture is clear, the sound is SO awesome, the camera work is fantastic.
The ONLY drawback to this disc is that at times you can tell audio from one show is used for video from another, so that it appears that she's lip-syncing, when Ms. Turner doesn't resort to such tricks. The show was recorded over three nights, in front of over 150,000 people, so I guess some sloppy editing work is in evidence here. This, remarkably, doesn't take anything away from her performance in this show. The lady is astounding! I can only hope and pray that I have half that much energy when I'm 56! Wow! She moves all over the stage, usually VERY energetically, and she looks SO sexy and beautiful!
Her musicians and dancers deserve some good attention here, as they back her up beautifully.
All her old hits are featured here, along with some new ones from her 'Wildest Dreams' disc, which I might add, is a great disc. The main highlight for me, I guess, is 'Proud Mary'. This song is coreographed and performed so perfectly, the fact that it was written by, performed first by, and belongs to Creedence Clearwater Revival never enters your head for a moment. What an amazing piece of rock-and-roll history we're treated to!
All in all, please get this disc, and see what this astounding, talented LADY can do to an arena full of complete strangers: make them into adoring, thrilled friends, if only for a couple of hours on a hot night in Amsterdam.

Summary: From a bigTina star
Review: I find this DVD lacking in technical terms. The sound seems overly bright and harsh. The concert itself left much to be desired. I am only basing this on other music DVD's that I have, such as, Fleetwood Mac & the Eagles (both of which I think are excellent and love). I love the music but I was disappointed despite being a big fan of Tina. Sorry if I haven't explained myself well.

Summary: Love Tina more than ever, BUT...
Review: I have to agree with the earlier reviewer that mentioned the bad sound recording on this DVD. The visuals, of course, are as wonderfully Tina as expected. I don't understand how and why the sound is so "strange." ... even though their are two versions (of the sound) from which to choose. I'm not sorry that I purchased it, however. This is my favorite Tina Turner concert. The selection of material is perfection and the energy comes across like a volcano erupting. I love Tina more than ever, and look forward to her next DVD.

Summary: Too much like a rock video ..
Review: I like Tina Turner and the music is very good - yet .. The concert was filmed and then transferred to video - quality is good but the film is cut too much like a "music video" - too many quick camera changes for me. A much better concert video is the Bee Gees "One Night Only" - It was shot on video - the sound AND video quality are both EXCELLENT ..

Summary: Extermely dissapointed
Review: I like Tina very much. I was extrememly dissapointed in this DTS version of the DVD. To my ears, the sound quality was plain at best. When I see DTS, I expect something special. I want to be able to say, WOW! It let me down tremendously. Compared to "Hell Freezes Over" it ranks about a 2 and that's being generous. It is WAY over priced! I played it once and never had the urge to play it again!

Summary: What a Cryin' Shame ....
Review: I love Tina. Her music is the epitome of energizing soul-rock. We looked forward to this DTS version of her concert. We put it in, sat back, and after 5 minutes into the concert I was becoming agitated at what should be a great show. The music was great, but after 30 minutes I was going nuts. Then it dawned on me: the camera work is absolutely the worst. It's horrible. It detracts from the concert. It never stops moving. It never stops fading in & out. It jumps from one angle to another. It changes every few seconds and it never stops for the whole concert. A bunch of high school kids could have done better. I hope we can find another Tina concert worth buying but the Amsterdam concert was a waste of our money. What a cryin' shame.

Summary: The most amazing concert ever!
Review: I mean it, Tina rocked the house down to the ground in Amsterdam, and this video captured the essence and beauty of the whole thing. Tina and her dancers bring the audience to their feet while Tina sings with the voice and legs of a goddess. The exitement is tangible. Amazing songs...."What's love..." "Proud Mary" and so so so so many more. You gotta love it!

Summary: The best I have EVER seen!
Review: I read the reviews on Amazon.com and bought it (DVD) on the strength of the ratings. It is, without dispute, the best concert I have ever seen. We have a 63" big screen and a full digital pro-logic system. I felt like I was there! "Missing You", on the DVD is spellbinding as are most songs. The musicians are extreme professionals and the dancers did not miss a beat. If you can only have ONE concert DVD, this is the one to have! It is crisp, flawless and breathtaking. I thought I knew her music, now I don't know if she could beat this one. It's like Michael Jackson's "Thriller"...one of a kind, never repeated in it's intensity. Get it!!!
