Tina Turner hit the tour circuit Wednesday at the ripe age of 68!!  She performed the first of 36 dates in north America in front of an audience of 18,000 fans in Kansas City.  The last time she toured was 8 years ago on her farewell world tour.

She performed some of her big hits including Steamy Windows, River Deep, What’s Love Got to Do With It and Jumping Jack Flash.  And she did it in Tina style:  showing off her legs in high heels!!

A critic wrote the following about the legends performance:

Turner will turn 69 in November, but after watching her whip a sold-out arena into a frenzy, that number loses all context.

“This show was mind-boggling in many ways. For one, it was the first of the tour. Initial outings usually suffer a few obvious bumps and mishaps. Not this one. Second, she is still in her 50th year of live performance, yet she still has the endurance and durability of performers – men included – much younger than she is.”

Have you ever seen Tina Turner perform?  Would you go to one of her concerts?
