Yeah, so did I, well at least Tina got the last laugh in the end didn't she?

I first saw Tina on a side stage at Milwaukee's Summerfest right after she started her comeback after leaving Ike. She was wearing that cave woman outfit, had a small band backing her up and 2 dancers. This was a few years before she recorded Private Dancer. The place was as packed as I'd ever seen it standing room was full, Tina was awesome, a force of nature. I've seen her since on the big stage after, but nothing could ever come close to matching that night.
