After more than 40 years of making music, Tina Turner still has it in her, and she proved it during an amazingly energetic performance Friday at Hilton Coliseum.

Before Joan Jett, Janet Jackson and Madonna, there was Tina Turner. She’s the original pop music female personality and the queen of reinventing her image.

Tina turns 61 on Nov. 26, but you would have never guessed it from watching the performance, which was part of her final tour.

Strutting around the stage in black patent leather high heels, a 60-year-old Turner looked as young as the twenty-something dancers beside her.

“I’m taking you on the journey of my career this evening,” she told the audience at the beginning of the show. “I’ll sing songs from now and go back to the beginning.”

She delivered two hours of music that spanned the gamut of her repertoire, saving most of her old classics for the end.

The show had one of the most elaborate stage setups of any tour this fall. Large video screens, explosive pyrotechnics and shiny stage lights joined forces to keep the audience in tune with what was happening on stage.

“Acid Queen” from 1975’s The Who movie “Tommy” triggered the concert’s first moment of extreme excitement. Psychedelic green, red, and purple lights shined over Tina as she belted out her vocals.

Turner brought out her costume from the film “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome,” as she performed an emotional version of her 1985 song, “We Don’t Need Another Hero.”

Later, after changing into a silver-sequined dress, Tina paraded across the stage with her backup dancers, who were dressed like strippers, for the song, “Private Dancer.”

On “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” Tina urged the audience to sing along to the chorus “with attitude.” She gave chances for both men and women to sing separately.

“I like it nice and rough,” Turner told the male audience members. “Before I leave here this evening I want to remember that the men gave it to me nice.”

In one of the show’s more intimate moments, Tina sat on a stool near a grand piano to sing a gospel-style cover of the Beatles’ “Help.”

She also took the opportunity to cover a few other songs, including Otis Redding’s “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay,” and Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love.”

But the highlight of the show came when Tina took the stage to sing her most famous song, “Proud Mary” (Rollin’ on the River). Taking the audience back to 1971, the song captured the essence of Tina Turner’s energy, capping off a great performance.
