!! OMG, highlight of my year: Tina Turner !!
Tina Turner is 69 years old and her concert ties with Hercules and Love Affair as my favorite show of 2008.
She's still got her voice, her body, her moves (watch "Proud Mary" above if you don't believe me), and can still walk in sky-high Louboutin heels. I found myself uncontrollably smiling throughout the performance until the very last song, which ended the show on a perfectly melancholy note. Her energy and emotion on-stage are legendary and I'm so happy I got to see her.
Watch Tina perform her final encore, "Be Tender With Me, Baby":

Tina opened the show with "Steamy Windows," descending onto the stage in a beam of light:
For "We Don't Need Another Hero," Tina donned the best stage costume I've ever seen, and made use of a humongous man in a loincloth who didn't appear for the rest of the show:
"Acid Queen":
Finally, Tina performed a death defying run down a catwalk for Nutbush City Limits, complete with flying chariot that swung out over the audience:
