The music video for "If I Could Turn Back Time '', directed by Marty Callner, takes place on board the battleship USS Missouri. It depicts Cher and her band performing a concert for the ship 's crew. The video was filmed in Los Angeles on July 1, 1989, while the ship was stationed at the former Long Beach Naval Shipyard at Pier D. In the video, the band plays on the foredeck, and the ship is rigged with spotlights, light racks and strobes. Cher 's son, Elijah Blue Allman, only twelve at the time, appears as one of the band 's guitarists (he wears dark glasses and a Jimi Hendrix T - shirt).
