RIP Tina Turner... you rocked the world with grace and style.
😥
Corniest dance routines ever
I went to Nutbush Tennessee in 2000. It is indeed tiny, there was no “City Limit” sign as apparently people kept stealing the “Nutbush” sign. There is a church and a small general store where “You go on Fridays”. Incredible to think that Tina rose from such humble beginnings, overcame an abusive relationship and became the best live performer I have ever seen in my life.
If you know anyone who stole one of those signs we know a studio it would look nice in ;)
I saw Tina perform in Sydney in the’80’s. She was phenomenal. It was just after the release of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
@@themidnightspecialtvshow Sorry to jump up in your conversation but when are we gonna get the footage of Suicide performing on your show? That would be amazing!
My favorite Tina song! Proud of her for writing this rock anthem! Thanks for uploading!
RIP Tina Turner ❤️
🖤🌹🖤🇦🇺
My favourite as well. Used to love dancing to this at the student union disco at university in the 1980s.
I enjoyed much of her later songs but this one remains my favourite too!
🖤
Vale Tina.......this song was an absolute anthem in Australia in the 70's, 80's and even in the 90's. Every dancefloor in every pub, club, disco or school hall would fill instantly when this came on, with everyone dancing in sync.....still to this day the Nutbush is well known and loved. Thanks for the music Tina, RIP
That's awesome ❤
Yeah nutbush and knock on wood were always playing in the clubs during the 70s and 80s
I was in school in the 80s and 90s and we did the nutbush... great times
Still does now from what I’ve seen
@RIDER GUIDER at every wedding it gets played too
Janis Joplin said that Ike was the band leader but Tina Turner was the show. How right she was.
True! Ike was definitely a fantastic musician born to lead the band, while Tina was the conduit to the crowd.
No one like Joplin either she was Soo right
Pure style and class and no lip syncing. There will never be another like Tina Turner
First song that came to mind when I heard the news. RIP Tina!
Only song that came to mind.
Wow what a performance! The clarity in Tina’s enunciation for a live show was remarkable and such pure clarity in every lyric and note she sings. Such a performer she was that it’s difficult to tell the difference between live and the master recording! R.I.P Tina 🙏🏽
Exactly! This is the only song I’ve ever surfed TH-cam to see all the live performances of it because she makes sure to never sing it the exact same way twice without compromising the integrity of the song. Her showmanship was unmatched.
Thank you, TINA TURNER for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. Truly an end of an era.
When Brian Johnson auditioned for Angus and Malcolm with AC/DC, this is the first song he chose to sing for them.
...wow didn't know that.. thanks!
Now I want to hear their cover of it
They'll never be another one as good as Tina
She’s so unique I miss her already thank god for these videos
The Empress of Sass!
I was 17 in 1976, and this was my fav song then.
I remember my all boys Anglican private school had a dance in which a nearby private Catholic girl's school was invited.
A couple of the girls realized I was a live one, and dared me to ask one of their female teachers to dance.
no problem I said.......then the next song was Nutbush.....bang and I was in that teacher's face asking her to dance.
She graciously agreed, and we proceeded to jive the old barn hall down, to the hoots and giggles and hollers of all.
The girls later told me the teacher was one of the quietest nuns at the school.
I didn't see that in her. While she was up dancing with me to Tina, she let it all out.
I will never forget that memory.
Thanks Tina.
You were a genuine class act.
I love this clip includes the Ikettes introducing themselves. Edna went on to sing back up with Tina for years but was called Lejeune Richardson. I wish they would post the revues River Deep done before Nutbush here one day.

This song is just a perfect mix of rock, funk, and disco. As good today as it was back then..Tina Turner had it all.
This is a Tina song that just doesn't get enough airplay or credit. But it's truly one of her best. R.I.P. Tina and thank you.
I know right! Shes a songwriter and doesnt get proper credit for this awesome song!
It still gets heaps of airplay on retro stations here in Australia, simply because we invented the Ntutbush dance.
This song is actually pretty brilliant. Its simple and paints and picture perfectly. " No whiskey for sale,u get caught ,no bail,salt pork and molasses is all you get in jail" Come on now,said so much in those 2 lines. A 3 min song ,and yet u know everything about Nutbush.
Being an Ike and Tina fan in the 70's, their music got very little to no play on the radio.
No lip syncing and no auto tune. Just pure Tina! She was one of a kind! And what a beautiful woman she was!
There’s a lot of singers who don’t lip sync or use autotune.
Hear y’all go again🙄
No lip-synching and no autotune, PLUS all live music behind her.
I don't know how many people here know this, but Tina Turner and The Ikettes sang backup for Frank Zappa on a song called Montana. They do some incredibly difficult lines that took a lot of work to get right. The tape had to be slowed down while they recorded it, so they sound slightly higher on the record when played at normal speed, but you can still tell who it is. Frank said the girls were so proud of themselves when they nailed it that they went to get Ike to come listen. Frank played it for him and Ike said, "What is this shit!?" He walked out of the studio at that moment.
This is pure gold.
One of the few rocking queens of 60s that went the distance.
Saw Tina 9 Times live on Stage. 3Times with Ike in the early 70ties.❤❤❤
What Tina was the best from a gig point of view??(Ike ?) Or Tina herself ❤
Tina you truly deserve your flowers 💐 and your recognition for being simply the best🎉🎉
You can tell she LOVED performing this song. Each performance was personal.
This is one of my FAVOURITE Tina songs.
And Ike who? lol
I remember going to the disco and doing the dance. R.I.P. Tina. The world just got too quiet. 😢😢❤️❤️
She had in her 70th more power than most of all 20 year old girls. Good bye Tina!
There will never be another Tina Turner. R.I.P.
RIP Tina you are a legend! Will be missed but your music will last forever. Thank you 😎
I love how proud she was of where she came from! 😊
RIP Tina. Phenomenal talent. 🌹
Some happy memories, and they are rare, of my dad playing air guitar with Nutbush City Limits. He loved that 45 more than life. Rest easy, Queen Tina. 😔
World feels so empty without this amazing person. OMG, I feel like I lost a relative.
Sad day today with Tina's passing. RIP Tina, a true legend.
Its the dancing and the dresses for me. Tina knew how to perform and impress. She made you had a good time! Rest in peace to the Queen of Rock n Roll ❤
Omg Tina was such a bad ass. Rest in Power beautiful queen
Only one Tina Turner. The best!❤️ You are missed.❤❤️
THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OVER THE TOP
RIP Tina Turner 💔 Thanks for all the music 💐💐💐💐
I remember hearing this a few times on the radio in 1973, when it was a follow-up to the very popular "Proud Mary", but it never went anywhere significant, which disappointed me because I really liked it. Little did I know until just recently that this is a huge thing in Australia, where people do a line dance to it.
2 weeks ago, I make a new TH-cam- list.
This song was the inspiration and is the beginner!...
One of the greatest songs ever, I love since I was a TEEN❤
R.I.P. Tina😢
The talent this universe has seen. The likes of which we will never see again.
Sad day in Nutbush City Limits. RIP Tina
More talent on that little stage than the entire recording business today. Oh what we've lost.....
I used to sneak and watch the Midnight Special. Never got the full effect because I had to have volume low so as not to wake my parents. 😂😂😂
...much love for posting this video a bit before Ms. Turner's passing.. Tina packed a lot of black culture and history in this record!! ps. LOVE the Ikettes' intros!
Thank you very much for uploading these performances!!! This is part of music history! More from Ike and tina please! ❤️😁
More to come every day!
This song is so killer. Bob Seger did a righteous cover of this on his 70's live album, which is the first time I heard the song. I tracked it back to Tina, and found that it's where the tune belongs!
RIP Tina. Class couldn't beat cancer but your voice will echo for eternity!
Wth does class have to do with disease? 🙄

Weird comment
Tina brought the stage down with her amazing dance moves when she performed rip Tina 🙏
Tina Turner, the Queen of Rock and Roll, wrote many songs, the most successful being Nutbush City Limits (which inspired a dance craze in Australia, making Guinness World Records again in 2023), Bold Soul Sister, Up in Heah, Sexy Ida, Feel Good, and to a lesser degree, Sweet Rhode Island Red, and Delilah's Power (written about the Biblical Old Testament couple; Samson rejects the love of the beautiful Philistine woman Delilah, she seeks vengeance that brings horrible consequences they both regret, which Tina Turner no doubt related to as a comparison between Ike and Tina).
It was incredibly hard for black people to get radio play, especially in the 1960s (in addition to a group with the star being a female) and a large part of the 1970s. Tina Turner would also face sexism in addition to racism, even in the 1980s and 1990s, but she pushed past it.
Tina and the Ikettes make this all happen, but I got to give props to the band. They were amazing.
I have such respect for that lady! RIP
RIP TIna, What a woman!!! I am truly sad with this news! You'll always be an inspiration Tina!
RIP Tina Turner You will live long around my parts because your music rocks and always will and as long as it does you will be alive too.
RIP Tina, thank you for all the wonderful music
Vale Tina. Thanks for entertaining the world
All of these women were incredible but Tina was just so....ELECTRIC!!! My God! You cannot deny her talent, charisma and those legs!
RIP Tina, the world will miss you
Once in a generation talent...R.I.P. Anna Mae Bullock
RIP Tina, you earned it
This is a new favourite of mine, i gotta learn the line dance
A church house, gin house
A school house, outhouse
On Highway Number Nineteen
The people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush
Oh, Nutbush
Call it Nutbush city limits
Twenty-five was the speed limit
Motorcycle not allowed in it
You go t'the store on Fridays
You go to church on Sundays
They call it Nutbush, little old town
Oh, Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
You go t'the field on week days
And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturdays
But go to church ev'ry Sunday
They call it Nutbush
Oh, Nutbush
They call it Nutbush city limits
No whiskey for sale
You get caught, no bail
Saltpork and molasses
Is all you get in jail
They call it Nutbush
Oh, Nutbush
Yeah, they call it Nutbush city
Nutbush city limits
Little old town in Tennessee
It's called a quiet, little old community
A one-horse town
You have to watch
What you're puttin' down in old Nutbush
They call it Nutbush

Those legs just won't quit! And their singing is pretty good also!
I had the privilege of seeing Ike and Turner and Co perform at Six Flags over GA in 1976. It was awesome.
Tina had that sexy sultry stage presence along with that incredible voice she was one of a kind & she will be sadly missed by all her fans...
Thank you Ike for starting it off with rocket 88 and discovering Tina and laying down some great guitar
Tina just oozed sexiness when she was at her best!

I just watched this, over and over and over...
RIP TINA TUNER LOVE YOU ALWAYS IN MY HEART ❤️
May the Queen of rock/pop/ funk rest in peace..😪😪
RIP 🙏 Queen of Rock n Roll!
I’ve always been a leg man and there was always enough to go around when Tina and company were on the stage ….she’ll be missed there will never be another one like her 😢😊
Electrifying performance of Tina’s great song… saw the Ike & Tina Turner Revue at Hammersmith Odeon in the early ‘70’s & it was one of the greatest shows I’ve ever witnessed… Tina’s incredible stage presence & sheer magnetic force had to be seen to be believed!
Sadly, being a Tina fan from the early 70's, I've only saw her once as Ike and Tina Turner in Chicago. Tina's energy was hyped from beginning to end. They had a well-known band that was at the top of their game to open for them, and the crowd grew bored. But when Tina out and performed, my cousin who wasn't a Tina fan had to admit that Tina had put on a dam good show.
A great live version. I love the intro.
I was in love with Tina Turner when I was 8. I didn't know why. I did by the time I was 11 tho😄
Thanks for everything, Tina! Love your raw soul!
15 years old in 1975 and the "Baby Get It On" single on jukeboxes and on the radio : Tina AND Ike rocked!
I had that LP, 'Nuff Said. Played the grooves off if it.
This is my favorite rocker by Tina
. She had such grace and talent.
Miss u... 😢 ❤SIMPLE THE BEST ❤ !!!
