The Ike and Tina Turner Revue hit the stage on July 10, 1967,  at the Minneapolis National Guard Armory for a dance and show.

On hand were the Ikettes, Bobby John, the Dixie Cups, and Jimmie Thomas in a 5 1/2 hour show.  Danny’s Reasons opened, and from there were heading to New York where they were booked to appear on the Tonight Show and Merv Griffin Show.

One young lady named Polly who was there says that she remembers “Tina having at least one black eye and bruises all over her legs. Poor Tina! Great concert.”
