The whole acoustic part is such a highlight of the show. However the Dutch people were very exited by one song at the end wich is kind of “typical Dutch party song”. Wink Then we went to bed around 00H30 , we needed a rest before the Big Weekend ! The shows were the biggest during Tina’s 50th anniversary tour, with approximately 33,000 fans in the stadium each night.
We cried….no of course not ! Are they late on schedule or Tina wants to go back now because she if really wants to give everything she musn’t stop for too long…Who knows?
She is made for huge audience. She truely deserves the title of Living Legend…I am falling asleep, it’s going to be a short night …7:00: At first i thought, ” Were am i” ??
The Roumanian were enjoying it as well, so it was a nice way to start the concert and i felt i a great shape ! ?” “that’s Philip…” “PHILLLLIIIPP PHILIPPP WHOUAHAOUHA” It was nice , i think the guy’s liked it. Introducing the Ninjas, they did their usual demonstrations and Tina’s facial and body expressions were priceless !!! arrived , Marcin came also, Dave came to say hello and had a little chat, as well Marco too, Annemie was there but like me very nervous.
and we went to have a few drinks, went to a pizzaria and then went for a boatrip on the river of Amsterdam.We went back to Sjef’s flat and we watched ” Tina, The Live Collection” while drinking whiskey and Coke. I was a bit disapointed but well , i thought there would be some interessting stuff somewhere else. They Don’t care if there are FANS who bought expensives tickets, who aren’t supposed to queue but still does !Who haves to book a train, or plane, and an hotel and food and …it’s endeless… And that’s how you are rewarded, it’s really rude ! How amazing she was and how proud i am of what she is still able to do. I could hardly breath because of the running ( yeah smoking) and those girl said ” Calm Down, Breath, We arrived at 15.00 and we are relaxed…” JESUS CHRIST….I said something like they should be ashamed and that we didn’t had that chance and that we were waiting since 8h this morning, i was mad, and they looked at each other and said ” well just go in front of us !
Some people got there first because they had connections with management or something…Some people were there first because a woman saw them and thought they would look nice front row on the dvd !!! After ” The Best” and a lots of applauses and screaming, she finally told us , the reasons why they were recorded the dvd here. bisou!I wish I could have been there and live those moments with you all…….. =DThanks Ben for your entertaining review of the Arnhem-weekend. The 3 girls in front of me are CRAZY about the Ninja’s especially Philip and Justice.
March 21, 2009: TINA in Arnhem, The Netherlands A very special post today! So to my dear old Deluxe Ticket Holder friends : Don’t Give up The Fight !!!!!
A guy in front of us, film the audience after every song but that doesn’t appear on the screen behind Tina. I think again of the show to find sleep, and i realize how lucky i was to have experienced that concert. There was only 5 min left before the beginning of ” I don’t Wanna Fight” and the screen was still up. During the introduction the girls next to me asked “what’s his name, the tall Black one?” ” Justice girls…” “JUSTIIIIICE JUSTIIIICEE WHOUHHHUUOUAA” They were screaming like crazy that was so funny.
There is only 1h hour drive between Amsterdam and Arnhem so it’s been a short drive but a nice one !
Teacher - Traveller - Blogger - Founder of Tina Turner Blog (2010) This brought back so many memories! Samuel and his sister ( Tina!) Filmé au Gerlerdome de Arnhem en Mars 2009, le dvd capture l'ambiance éléctrique du concert ( j'y etais) ainsi que la forme éblouissante que posséde toujours Tina Turner.
We listened to some Tina music and arrived in Arhnem.
” ” Really, i prefer to be behind, don’t mind behind second row, you’re a fan” “well then YESS OF COURSE !! There are some huges cameras hidden behind the stairs each side. But i don’t care, smoking is like my second passion…anyway, i went out to smoke and then….Wind….THE cold winter wind …you know the one that never stop…the frozen one..i just hoped it was temporary.The sky was changing and i felt ( i know it’s stupid but i am having an introspection right now) like in the Lord of the Ring, you know with the wind, and the weird sky..anyway… yesterday when we had some sun, it was really nice so i was hoping for some in the afternoon.
But when “Nutbush” is exploding from the stage, i just think that i could stay here for hours ! But first i needed a cigarette…i know , i know, it’s bad !
The guy filmed Sjef ticket ^^ 17h30 : the gates were suppposed to be open at that time…17H35….nothing, i am going to have a heart attack…17h40…..nothing, the wind is getting stronger and colder…17H45….First, the security.
The band is excellent. Her performance on ” It’s Only Rock and Roll” is just breathtaking.
There is 4 extra screens in the back of the arena. Über eine Millionen Zuschauer besuchten in Europa und Nordamerika die ausverkauften Vorstellungen von Tina Turners bereits neunter Solo-Konzerttournee.2008 kehrte die Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, Tina Turner, zur Freude ihrer Fans acht Jahre nach der Twenty Four Seven Tour auf die Bühne zurück und kündigte die Konzerttournee zu ihrem 50.
