“A treat for the singer’s fans.

“Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz

Veteran video concert director David Mallet (“Manilow: Music and Passion”/”Cher – Farewell Tour“) directs this bland, no-frills live concert film of Tina Turner’s “Wildest Dream” tour. It includes footage of Tina Turner’s three-night stint at the Amsterdam Arena in September, 1996, where she energetically performed her biggest hits in a high-budget visual production. A treat for the singer’s fans. For others it’s watchable but not memorable.The 21 tracks are:

1)Whatever You Want

2)Do What You Do

3)River Deep, Mountain High

4)Missing You

5)In Your Wildest Dreams

6)Goldeneye (James Bond title song)

7)Private Dancer

8)We Don’t Need Another Hero (from Mad Max – Beyond Thunderdome)

9)Let’s Stay Together

10)I Can’t Stand The Rain

11)Undercover Agent For The Blues

12)Steamy Windows

13)Givin’ It Up For Your Love

14)Better Be Good To Me

15)Addicted To Love

16)The Best

17)What’s Love Got To Do With It

18)Proud Mary

19)Nutbush City Limits

20)On Silent Wings

21)Something Beautiful Remains (credited as a “bonus” track)
