This album is a partial copy of "Live at Circus Krone 1973"
This Oil Well version has a fine cover, fine quality. Limited to 200 copies only. Due to its rarity and good quality, this disc is recommended. On the front cover Tina Turner performing live during a concert. This is a good--although misleading--album. The first 11 tracks are live performances that sound suspiciously like those found on "The World Of Ike & Tina," a live double-album released in 1972. The song arrangements are identical in every way. Fans of that '72 album should buy this to hear the same songs digitally remastered and cleaned up for cd-format.

Of these first 11 (out of 18) tracks, "Annie Had a Baby," "Come Together," and "Don't Fight It" come off best. "I Want to Take You Higher" contained here is the best "live" version I've heard from Ike & Tina. Three other tracks ("Proud Mary," "Proud Mary Encore," and "Respect" were lifted from the 1971 album "What You Hear Is What You Get" (recorded live at Carnegie Hall). They seem slightly out of place here since they were taken from a far superior recording, and you can hear the difference. Maybe they are considered the "bonus tracks"! A slightly different version of "Nutbush City Limits" Here, "Nutbush" has an abrupt ending.

Live at Circus Krone
Live at Circus Krone includes the recording of a sell out show at the Circus Krone in Munich, Germany from Ike & Tina’s 1973 European tour. The concert took place on November 03, just before Ike’s birthday. At the same time, The Rolling Stones were in town, because they recorded a new album and Mick Jagger watched the whole show from backstage. Unfortunately, two songs from the tracklist are not live: Baby, Get It On is a different version with lead vocals from Ike and Nutbush City Limits is the well known single version. The album was released in 2003 from ZYX Music in Europe on compact disc.

1973 - That was the time, when Ike &Tina Turner had reached their heights of popularity in Europe. With four major world hits in the back, the Ike & Tina Turner Review had become household word. There was really nobody left in the world that hadn't heard about this wonderful American show-couple, that came to Europe every year and who appeared on almost any major television show in 1973. "River Deep - Mountain High", "A Fool In Love", "l ldolize You", "Proud Mary" and "Nutbush City Limits". Church House, Outhouse, Ginhouse - it all came together. Germany was their territory and Munich had become a second home for Ike & Tina Turner. The Record Company was located here and they felt home and had made a lot of friends in Germany. Their following was become unnumerable - wherever they went, Ike & Tina were followed by the press and their fans.

Than the European Tour 1973: From Kopenhagen to London, from Paris to Belgrade - Yugoslavia. 46 cities and 46 sell out shows - all over Europe. Munich - Nov. 3rd, 1973. Just before Ike's Birthday - Scorpio -, "The Circus Krone show".
The Rolling stones were in town, since they where recording their EXILE on Main Street Album at the Musicland Studios in Munich. Mick and Ike & Tina had been close friends for many years - since 1965 when their "River Deep Mountain High" record hit the English charts and Ike & Tina were touring Great Britain with the Rolling Stones.

The Circus was a total sell-out and you couldn‘t get one more person into the joint. Mick Jagger was backstage and stood on the right side of the stage for the whole concert and was watching Tina - like he was watching himself.The show was great - you can hear it right on this record - and you can feel it too. The party that was celebrating the event - was lasting for three more days - with all the Rolling Stones and their friend Billy Preston present at the Munich-Hilton Hotel. We all had a great time.

What You Hear Is What You Get
What You Hear Is What You Get – Live at Carnegie Hall is a live album by R&B duo Ike & Tina Turner released on United Artists Records in 1971. Ike and Tina performed a doubleheader at the Carnegie Hall in New York City on April 1, 1971. The second show carried on into the early hours of April 2. Musician Fats Domino was the opening act.

Beside some Ike Turner penned songs, the album includes live interpretations of songs from Otis Redding, Sly Stone and the Family Stone, the Rolling Stones and their latest hit at the time "Proud Mary" by Creedence Clearwater Revival. The album was released three months after the concert in July 1971 and was reissued on CD in 1999. It reached number 7 on the Billboard Soul LPs chart and 25 on the Top LPs chart. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA in 1972

Billboard (July 3, 1971):
This 2 record set of the Ike & Tina Turner revue's recent Carnegie Hall concert only hints at the charge of excitement generated by the Ikettes, Ike, and, especially Tina Turner before the capacity crowd. "Proud Mary," "Honky Tonk Women," "Ooh Poo Pah Doo," and excitingly visual "I've Been Loving You Too Long," suggests the frenzied entertainment they provided

The duo were at their peak of popularity when this hour-long performance was recorded in New York on April 1, 1971. Of course Turner's volcanic stage presence can't be fully translated onto disc, and the set list goes heavy on predictable covers like "Sweet Soul Music," "Honky Tonk Women," "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "Respect," and a ten-minute-plus "Proud Mary." And the opening two numbers are sung not by Tina, but by the Ikettes. You'd be a real sourpuss, though, to let your rock critic microscope keep you from enjoying this smoky set. Tina drains every last bit of emotion from the material, especially on the bluesy "I Smell Trouble" and the drawn-out covers of "I've Been Loving You Too Long" and "Proud Mary," and the band offers a cookin' stew of R&B-soul-rock, paced by Ike's reverberating guitar.

Nutbush City Limits
Nutbush City Limits is a studio album by R&B duo Ike & Tina Turner released on United Artist Records in 1973. The album is noted for the hit single "Nutbush City Limits" which became a staple in their lives shows. Five of the ten tracks on the album were written by Tina Turner including the title track which peaked at number 11 on Billboard Hot Soul Singles, number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 4 on the UK Singles Chart.

Nutbush City Limits includes a different version of their classic song "River Deep – Mountain High," which was released as a single in France. The song "Make Me Over" was re-recorded by Tina and re-titled "Tina's Wish" for the 1993 soundtrack album What’s Love Got To Do With It.

The album peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Soul LP chart and 163 on the Top LPs
The album received good critical reception. Billboard reviewed it as "simply the best thought-out Ike & Tina album in many moons."[8] Cash Box noted, "this album is one of the best dance LPs of the year and features Tina’s singing at its best as well as lke’s capable leadership.
