This day in music history.

January 16, 1988, 182,000 people in Rio De Janeiro showed up to watch Tina Turner live in concert. It is the largest audience ever for a single artist. Accompanied by a stunning line-up of musicians, Samba dancers, glitter and fireworks, Tina played 13 songs and blew the crowd away with explosive versions of "What's Love Got to Do With It" , "Addicted to Love" and "Proud Mary". This show was part of her "Break Every Rule Tour", by the end of the tour she had performed for 4 and a half million people.
What's Love Got To Do With It by Tina Turner
You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it`s only the thrill
Of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It`s physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore
That it means more than that
Oh whats love got to do, got to do with it
What`s love but a second hand emotion
What`s love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken
It may seem to you
That i`m acting confused
When you`re close to me
If i tend to look dazed
I`ve read it someplace
I`ve got cause to be
There`s a name for it
There`s a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason
You do it for me
I`ve been thinking of a new direction
But i have to say
I`ve been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way
What`s love got to do, got to do with it...
