Man I saw her perform that day!Grrreat!What an ovation at the end,too bad she didn't get to sing by herself in the 2nd song...I was soo lucky I got the tickets the day before!!!

For those who may not know or fully understand why there is so much fuss about Aretha Franklin, it may be prudent to note that she was born in 1942, which means that when she sang this she was 67 years old. That, my friends, is quite something. A real talent, a real star in the proper sense of the word and an inspiration t all musicians of any genre. Gimme some soul!

Aretha showed up and showed out! What a fantastic performance! Aretha Franklin, the always reigning Queen of Soul! Thanks for sharing this live video experience from the actual concert with us. You can't say that crowd wasn't moved by the Queen.
