This clip was recorded live this past August in Moscow, and showcases the Mistress of Filth’s new dj-cum-live-style show. Once you get past the mash-up of Slayer’s ‘Angel of Death’ (and the bizarre but entertaining dancers/fighters) Peaches stops the set to launch into a surprise piano-ballad version of the Mark Knopfler-penned, Tina Turner classic. It’s heartfelt and really quite powerful. Is this a new direction I wonder?
 

 
After the jump, Peaches’ guide to Berlin…

This post is dedicated to all the “care trolls” who fired up their email devices to tell me how “disappointed” they were in me that I seem to think Ike Turner is such a great musician and blah, blah, blah, and how this must mean that I am all a misogynist, too.  Huh? Y’all need to get a life life—there are WAY more serious things in the world to be concerned about if you ask me—but the thing that really got my goat was the insinuation that I disrespect TINA TURNER, the Queen of rock and roll?

You don’t know me! How dare you?!? No no no. Just because I like Ike, does not mean I’m dissing Tina. Not by a long shot, she’s considered a goddess in this household!

I listened to an Ike & Tina Turner greatest hits collection full blast yesterday as I worked, and I searched YouTube for a performance clip of their amazing cover of the Beatles “Come Together” to share here:

Here’s the amazing Acid Queen sequence from Tommy:

Ike Turner was one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived. But because of his personal life, he’ll probably never get the recognition that his musical genius merits. There’s always the music. Nutbush City Limits (although written by Tina, it’s autobiographical) has one of his most amazing guitar riffs. It’s one of the best riffs of the entire 1970s. It’s also one of my top, top favorite songs of all time. When I first got a really good, audiophile level stereo, it was the first song I played and it sounded incredible coming through my new speakers. Here’s a fun clip of Ike and Tina lip-syncing it on German television in 1973. Turn it up!
