Tina Turner/Bob Seger/Brian Johnson

Reading the news today (Wednesday 5/24) of the passing of Tina Turner. One of the most amazing performers in rock history - and her connection to so many Classic Rock artists that have been influenced by her. Like Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band covering Tina's "Nutbush City Limits": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7Z5P2cImhs Did you know Tina covered a Seger song as well? Check out this performance of "Hollywood Nights" by Tina in 1983 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vfk62vKauw And there's also Tina covering "Fire Down Below" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UttLh_6sMIQ But let's get back to Nutbush City Limits: As I dove deeper into this song and people influenced by it - I found an amazing story of Brian Johnson from AC/DC. When he did his audition with the band the first song they did was....Nutbush City Limits. Check them out at a benefit concert back in 2003 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o3nEDW8E0Q https://wcsx.com/2023/05/24/tina-turner-dies-at-83/ Tina Turner, the iconic singer and influential force in music history, has died. She was 83. Turner’s death was confirmed in a statement to the media that said, “Tina Turner, the ‘Queen of Rock’n Roll’ has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland. With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model.” I started thinking about all the shows from Tina here in Detroit...here's just one page from the concert database: Event Date Venue City Region Country Tina Turner 06/05/1978 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 06/06/1978 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 06/07/1978 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 06/08/1978 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 06/09/1978 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 06/10/1978 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 02/18/1980 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 02/19/1980 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 02/20/1980 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 02/21/1980 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 02/22/1980 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 02/23/1980 db's Dearborn Michigan USA Tina Turner 02/23/1982 Center Stage Canton Michigan USA Tina Turner 01/12/1983 Premier Center Sterling Heights Michigan USA Tina Turner 01/13/1983 Premier Center Sterling Heights Michigan USA Lionel Richie 06/14/1984 Joe Louis Arena Detroit Michigan USA Tina Turner 07/26/1984 Royal Oak Music Theater Royal Oak Michigan USA Tina Turner 08/28/1985 Joe Louis Arena Detroit Michigan USA Tina Turner 08/31/1985 Castle Farms Charlevoix Michigan USA Tina Turner 09/04/1985 Wings Stadium Kalamazoo Michigan USA Tina Turner 09/04/1987 Pine Knob Music Theater Clarkston Michigan USA Tina Turner 09/05/1987 Pine Knob Music Theater Clarkston Michigan USA Tina Turner 09/06/1987 Castle Farms Charlevoix Michigan USA Tina Turner 06/30/1993 Pine Knob Music Theater Clarkston Michigan USA Tina Turner 06/23/1997 Pine Knob Music Theater Clarkston Michigan USA
