<P> 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 ) . </P>
