Ronnie spector the big t.n.t. show
Speaking of which, Phil Spector may not exactly be the poster child for sanity, but he sure knew what he was doing when he put this concert together. Ronnie Spector's voice will give anyone with a soul chills in that song, and she really looked like she was having fun, though she did write later in her autobiography that Phil Spector yelled at her afterwards for improvising and not doing the song exactly the way he had instructed her to in rehearsal, proving that Phil Spector is brilliant as far music goes, but not that wonderful of a person.
#RONNIE SPECTOR THE BIG T.N.T. SHOW MODS#
The Ronettes are wonderful, doing "Be My Baby" as the crowd of mods and teeny-boppers goes nuts. Bo Diddley is another of the highlights, especially with a trio of beautiful back-up singers/dancers.they are dressed in formal Supremes-style evening gowns and big beehives, but manage to look completely bad-ass, and one of them even plays a bass while doing her little dance routine. There were some acts that were slower-moving, such as Donovan, but I guess they figured the audience needed a breather. James Brown (who, the story goes, was in some sort of stand-off with Mick Jagger about who the better dancer was.needless to say, he wipes the floor with Mick) was incredible. I finally got to see this when it was on cable this month, and it was worth the wait! I admit, I was looking forward the most to the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, James Brown, and the Ronettes, but we watched the entire thing and we were not disappointed.
