Ike & Tina Turner - Live In Paris - Olympia 1971 (1971) (vinyl 2Lp) - €20,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Live In Paris – Olympia 1971 is a live album by Ike & Tina Turner released by United Artists Records and Liberty Records in Europe.

By 1971, Ike & Tina Turner had incorporated rock songs into their repertoire and mainly performed covers of recent hits. 

They performed songs by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, while still remaining true to their R&B and soul roots with covers like "Respect" by Otis Redding and "I Want To Take You Higher" by Sly and the Family Stone. 

In January 1971, Liberty Records released the single "Proud Mary" from the album Workin' Together to coincide with Ike & Tina Turner's French tour. 

The tour included dates at the Olympia in Paris. The concert on January 30, 1971 was recorded and released as a double album in Europe later that year. 

The album was arranged by Ike Turner and produced by Eddie Adamis. It peaked at number 25 in Germany.

It is a pure rhythm'n'blues show, not far from the Stax sound for instance, since they cover a lot of classics of the genre. The cover art give a good idea of the energy of the show. You can dance on some of those songs, easily.

While in the studio they were experimenting a new, funky, electric, rock sound, Ike & Tina Turner's shows hadn't changed much since the mid 60s; the new hits (Proud Mary, Honky Tonk Women, Come Together) merge with the old ones (A Love Like Yours) while even the Ikettes' number is present (3 songs!) and the opening Tina medley is the same one can find in In Person (but the instrumental rendition of Gimme Some Lovin' is particularly rocking here!).
