What’s Love? (1993)

The What’s Love? Tour was Tina’s first American tour since 1987 to promote the movie and soundtrack What's Love Got To Do With It about her life story. Originally intended as a North American tour only, Tina decided to add a few dates in Europe at open air festivals and some concerts in Australia and New Zealand. Shortly before the Australian leg, she performed also at the New South Wales Rugby League Grand Final in Sydney's football stadium, to supported the Winfield Cup. In Adeleide, Ayrton Senna surprised her by showing up on stage during her concert, after he won the Australian Grand Prix on that day. Tina had already sung The Best, but decided to play it again as a tribute to him after he left the stage. The setlist was very similar to her previous Foreign Affair Tour, with some additional songs from the soundtrack album, including her new hit single I Don’t Wanna Fight. Only at the last concert in New York City on July 17, she performed the songs „I Might Have Been Queen“ and „Shake a Tail Feather“. The concert at the Blockbuster Pavillion in San Bernardino on September 15 was released on home video and one show in Sydney, Australia was recorded as a special for local television.
