Tina ' s Back: Body And Soul Rock ' n ' roll ' s ugliest beauty is back. And no one who saw Tina Turner ' s rough and rowdy Murphy Center concert will forget it. Turner stopped at MTSU in November, dur- ing the fifth week of her Private Dancer tour, to belt out her comeback tunes and a few of her older hits. From the moment she burst on stage in tight, white leather pants, shaking her magnifi- cent mane and flaunting her legendary legs, she was hot. Turner opened with a powerful cut from her Private Dancer album, Show Some Respect. Sparks continued to fly through ' T Might Have Been Queen and Baby. The crowd danced and clapped to Better Be Good to Me, featuring a drum solo by percus- sionist Jack Bruno. Pianist Kenny Moore proved himself to be a real entertainer as he kept the audience clapping and singing while Turner slipped off the stage. Three large screens showed the fans a bit of her quick-change technique as she prepared for her next number. The leggy redhead returned in a white, feath- ered mini dress, with matching boa, to sing her

razz country music?). Three Dog Night launched into Never Been to Spain, with everyone clapping and singing along. Wells swung his mikestand up and strummed it soulfully, like any 14-year-old brother, at the end of Mama Told Me Not to Come. Hutton stepped forward with acoustic guitar to per- form the only new song of the set, Brand New Day, the theme song of a soon-to-be-released movie, American Flyer. The set closed with Celebrate, a perfect lead into the rest of the evening. The audience rose in a noisy standing ovation — Three Dog Night ' s return was as solid as Rock itself. The Beach Boys opened with their famous cover of the folksong Sloop John B., then moved into a medley of their surfing hits, ending with I Get Around. Mike Love vamped madly back and forth on stage, showing off his bright yellow beach shirt. In solemn tones. Love reminded his listeners that the concert was being held at a conservative, classical edu- cational institution, then started a slow country and western rhythm, turning it at the snap of a finger into a fast, loud Little Deuce Coupe. As a brief tribute to Dennis Wilson — victim of a diving accident in 1983 — the group performed Broth- er, a song from Carl Wilson ' s first solo album. The Del Vikings ' old rocker, Come Go With Me, was next, followed by Get You Back and the group ' s newest single, She Believes in Love Again, both from their most recent album. The stage became a pep rally as the cheerleaders of the Big Blue helped out with Be True to Your School, a hit from 1963. The next number, All Summer Long, was older than most of the audience, though many were familiar with it as the ending of the movie American Graffiti. Three or four beach balls appeared down on the floor section as the band romped through the classic Rock and Roll Music. Beach themes returned with Surfin ' Safari, Love pausing once in a chorus to kick a beach ball back out to the fans. The group left the stage then, but returned after four minutes of encore calls. Good Vibrations, the first encore number, was dedicated to the MTSU audience. At the wave of a pompon, the cheerleading squad reap- peared for Barbara Anne. The final song of the even- ing, Fun, Fun, Fun, had Three Dog Night ' s keyboar- dist Jimmy Greenspan returning on concert grand. — Freida Myers Student Life — 19
