Break Every Rule (1987 / '88)

The Break Every Rule Tour was billed as Tina’s farewell tour, sponsored by Pepsi-Cola. It broke box office records in 13 countries and was the biggest tour by attendance for a female artist with over 4 million visitors until Tina broke her own record in 1996 with her Wildest Dreams Tour . During the first few shows, Tina’s signature song Proud Mary wasn’t on the setlist. Tina avoided it because she had done it so many times for so many years and was a little bit tired of it. Finally in Rotterdam she agreed to try it, just to see how it would work. As the crowd erupted and sang the whole song, Tina realized that 'Mary' is still rollin' on the river. On January 16, Tina broke the world record for the largest paying audience at a solo concert with a crowd over 182,000 people at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Parts of this concert were later released on the Rio '88 home video. Tina did a lot of duets on this tour: At London’s Wembley Arena, she performed with Eric Clapton and Robert Cray , who was also the opening act at some dates. With Paul Brady , she did Paradise Is Here on May 30, 1987 at the Royal Dublin Showgrounds. In Osaka, Mick Jagger joined Tina on stage with the duet „Honky Tonk Women,“ after she was four days earlier guest on Mick's „Tour of Japan“ in Tokyo, where both performed the songs „Brown Sugar“ and „It’s Only Rock’n Roll“. This concert is available on the From Far East To Down Under bootleg. For promotion, Pepsi released a special version of the Break Every Rule album with a wonderful gatefold cover, featuring pictures from the advertising We Got The Taste .

The 36-page program book was in most countries the same. The only difference were the tour dates, which changed between the regions. It contains no live pictures from the tour, only from the  Break Every Rule  TV-Special, which was released just in time for the tour as well as many promotional pictures and stills from the recent music videos. But at least in South America, especially in Argentia, an „Official Book Argentina“ was available including Tina’s story, infos about the tour, some promo pictures and a lot of advertising.

Break every rule tour 1987/1988.

The European tour kicked off on 4 March 1987 in front of a sold-out crowd of over 15,000 people at the Olympiahalle in Münich, - Germany, a venue that she would later play 7 more times during the tour. During the first few shows the tour went without Tina Turner's signature hit Proud Mary. Tina Turner avoided the song because she had done it for so many years. It wasn't until her performance at the Ahoy Rotterdam that she tried the song in the setlist. Tina Turner stated, "The crowd erupted and sang the song for us. That's when I realized, 'We've got to put 'Mary' back in, she's still rolling on the river.'"

The most memorable and unusual moment for Tina Turner was in Locarno, Switzerland. The stage for the concert had been built in the center of the town. As Tina Turner recalls," The stage was literally in the middle of the street surrounded by apartment buildings with parents and little kids sitting on their balconies in their night robes."Before her concerts at Johanneshov Isstadion in Sweden, Tina Turner got a bad sinus infection and had to cancel her concerts. The arena was sold out and when the concert promoter went on stage to tell the audience, instead of booing the 13,000 people cheered with understanding. When Tina Turner returned, she played to an even bigger audience. In her stadium concert in Ireland, Tina Turner attracted a huge crowd of over 60,000 people. During this massive concert, Tina Turner nearly stopped the show because of fans in the front getting crushed by other fans. The European tour ended on 26 July 1987 where it began in Münich, - Germany. Tina Turner recalls," Our biggest crowd came towards the end of the tour in Münich. We had already played eight indoor shows there to about 120,000 people and once I have been to a city, I'm always reluctant to go back soon afterward. Then we attracted another 100,000 people outdoors, I was really quite astounded. It felt like the Rolling Stones when they drew those huge crowds."

The tour proved to be most successful in - Germany where Tina Turner played over 40 shows. Tina Turner recalls that - Germany has always been "special" to her. The European tour itself played to over 1.7 million people, bigger than any tour before it. The tour continued to break records in South America. Tina Turner's performance at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janerio attracted over 180,000 spectators, one of the largest concert attendance in the 20th century.

Her world record-breaking Break Every Rule Tour show of 1988 held in a single night at the Maracana Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was later released in video form on VHS and DVD called "Tina Live in Rio 88'". With this particular show alone, she entered the Guinness Book of World Records because she set the record of drawing 188,000 paying fans to a one-night show alone.

Break Every Rule

September 8th, 1986

Capitol, EMI, Columbia, Parlophone

Foreign Affair was Tina’s third studio album since her dramatic global resurgence, following the monumental success of Private Dancer (1984) and Break Every Rule (1986), as well as her lead role in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985. It went on to be a multi-platinum record across the world, including UK, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Australia and many more. The biggest track to come from the album was the 80s anthem, “The Best.” The track continues to transcend generations, with one of the most recognisable choruses in music history. On top of The Best, the album is complimented by several Tina favourites, such as Steamy Windows, I Don’t Wanna Lose You and the title track Foreign Affair.

The tour was originally billed as Turner's "last tour". In an interview with Jet magazine, Turner stated, [2]

It is my last tour for now. There probably won't be a tour with the next album because I want to devote some time to my movie career. But, I don't plan to retire.

The European tour kicked off on March 4, 1987, in front of a sold-out crowd of over 15,000 people at the Olympiahalle in Munich, Germany , a venue that she would later play 7 more times during the tour. During the first few shows, the tour went without Turner's signature hit " Proud Mary ". Turner avoided the song because she had done it for so many years. It wasn't until her performance at the Rotterdam Ahoy that she tried the song in the set list. Turner stated, "The crowd erupted and sang the song for us. That's when I realized, 'We've got to put 'Mary' back in, she's still rolling on the river.'" [3]

The most memorable and unusual moment for Turner was in Locarno, Switzerland. The stage for the concert had been built in the center of the town. As Turner recalls, "The stage was literally in the middle of the street surrounded by apartment buildings with parents and little kids sitting on their balconies in their night robes." [3] Before her concerts at Johanneshov Isstadion in Sweden, Turner got a bad sinus infection and had to cancel her concerts. The arena was sold out and when the concert promoter went on stage to tell the audience, instead of booing the 13,000 people cheered with understanding.

Break Every Rule

By Davitt Sigerson

Davitt Sigerson

The legs, the hair, the history! If Tina Turner comes across like a marketing concept in shimmy shoes, she’s only being true to her past. Turner’s never been an originator; instead, she’s always been the expression of that colorful ex-husband or today’s smooth corporate team. It’s just as well that she doesn’t call the musical shots: Turner passed on “Physical,” which became Olivia Newton-John’s biggest success, and only sang “What’s Love Got to Do with It” as a concession to insistent management. Even back in the early Sixties, Turner’s radar was off. An R&B belter at the dawn of the soul era, she missed a good twenty years of evolution in black music. She and Ike chose to court white pop and rock audiences instead of mastering the new idioms. “River Deep, Mountain High” may be Phil Spector’s crowning achievement, but it wasn’t a U.S. hit. And Tina’s association with the rock gods served mainly to validate their R&B leanings rather than to advance her own career.

So the monumental success of Private Dancer came not out of the artist’s own traditions (excepting her bias toward white English writer-producers) but seemingly from thin air. It’s no surprise that Turner’s new Break Every Rule , without any deeper creative sources to draw upon, obeys every rule set by Private Dancer , and slavishly.

Instead of trying out some promising new collaborators on this LP (how about Mike Scott of the Waterboys, Tears for Fears or even the Hooters?), Turner’s organization doubled up on the safe bets, giving us more from Terry Britten, Mark Knopfler and Rupert Hine, her partners from Private Dancer. Bryan Adams is a low-risk addition (considering the success of their duet “It’s Only Love”), but is that really the producers’ idea of innovation?

Rule rules out the growth and daring that we expect of a major artist. But looking past “Typical Male,” the rote first single, and “I’ll Be Thunder,” Rupert Hine’s bombastic closer, Turner and her crew have compiled an enjoyable album.

Editor’s picks

Every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history.

For one thing, Turner has never sung better. In the “A Fool in Love” days she possessed more pure curdle, but there’s plenty of that left (check out “Girls,” David Bowie’s spectacular Spector deconstruction), and now, for the first time, there’s a depth of understanding to her readings. From the smooch in “What You Get Is What You See” to the admission in Knopfler’s “Overnight Sensation” (“Well I guess I been a long time/Workin’ in the backline/Tryin’ to make a song fit/You know it never was mine”), Tina even lets in some humor. Throughout Break Every Rule , Turner sounds as if she had the time, guidance and confidence to really master these songs. The result is a potent display of passion and control, and that alone would make this record worth discovering.

Break Every Rule comes in two halves. Side one is all Britten (producing, writing with Graham Lyle and rendering Bowie’s “Girls” in fine style). Side two is Bryan Adams and rematches with Knopfler, Hine and Paul Brady. The Adams number is not one of his joyful throwaways, but rather a piece of organ-driven early-Seventies rock scholarship that manages to be at once slight and overwrought. Hine’s contribution, the title track, is a modern love song that skips to an ageless guitar part from Fixxer Jamie West-Oram. As ear candy goes, this is definitely in the nuts ‘n’ fudge class. “Overnight Sensation,” a Tina autobiography ghostwritten by Knopfler, strives for the same fun quotient as Dire Straits’ “Walk of Life.” It doesn’t quite make it, and neither does the narrative, but then “Private Dancer” was equally suspect in the character-development department. Now as before, Knopfler’s text is saved by Turner’s delivery.

Far better than “Overnight Sensation” is Brady’s “Paradise Is Here,” a Knopfler production that balances the virtues of surge and restraint. The chorus goes, “‘Cos paradise is here/It’s time to stop your crying/The future is this moment/And not some place out there/Tonight I need your love/Don’t talk about tomorrow/Right now I need your loving…./Right now.” To hear Turner sing these words is a wonder, both because of what she brings to them and what they bring to her. As a piece of casting, it’s outstanding work: the paradigm of sexual challenge orders her doubt-ridden lover to perform in the sack as a means to regain his own confidence and direction. A half dozen more like “Paradise,” and Break Every Rule would be a remarkable album, not just a good one.

Meet the New Cast of ‘Love Island USA' Season 6

'the acolyte': this 'star wars' prequel series isn't a force to be reckoned with, lady gaga references taylor swift, encourages fans to vote while shutting down pregnancy rumor, bad boy for life: sean combs’ history of violence, andrea and mateo bocelli lead 2024 oscars 'in memoriam' with 'time to say goodbye', tina turner's 'what's love got to do with it' to feature even more of simply the best, beyoncé’s ‘renaissance’ film premiere was raw, emotional fun.

The five Britten-Lyle songs on side one are all listenable. “What You Get” may venture into the light-rock terrain of Juice Newton, and “Two People” may hark back a little too blatantly to the glories of “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” but they are both as engaging as the lesser songs on Private Dancer. “Afterglow” and “Till the Right Man Comes Along” (despite the latter’s irritatingly inappropriate country twang) are as close as Britten comes to a successor for “What’s Love.” They reprise the admirable quiet of their model, but they don’t say — or even attempt to say — nearly as much.

That’s why Obey , uh, Break Every Rule is not a Major Artist move: compare the risky manners of “Papa Don’t Preach” or “True Colors” or Billy Idol’s new single “To Be a Lover” with the likable safety of “Typical Male.” Certainly, Rule is a satisfying record, and it will be as welcome to Turner’s fans as Madonna’s True Blue is to hers. And, since Turner has never been a major artist in the full sense, perhaps it’s unfair to expect more of her. Curiously, the depth and quality of Turner’s performances raise such expectations as never before. Can’t wait to hear the next Tina Turner album.
