The Private Dancer Tour is a 1985 concert tour by the American singer Tina Turner. In conjunction with her multi-platinum selling album Private Dancer, the tour helped to establish Turner as a major solo artist and live performer and is often considered one of the best comebacks in music history.
The Budapest concert was the only show of the tour behind the Iron Curtain. Tina had toured in Eastern-Europe a few years before, prior to her comeback. Promoters in the region however were not able to pay for the high costs of her show after her comeback. She went back to Budapest nevertheless for a lower fee, stating that she owed the Budapest audience to do that because of the way they celebrated her even before her renewed star status.
