Aretha excellent... not the person who decide that tent and excluding all people around it.

@newreligion13 I agree! It made it really difficult for everyone to see her. There was a field of people behind be and I'm pretty sure none of them could see her, what a shame!

I am still glowing from this concert last night. Was worth waiting from noon to get those armbands. Thanks for posting!!!

[4LOVEpeaceCHANGE]

@Afritrini1 Noon! oh wow! You guys surely deserved the seats after waiting that long!! I would have but I had other plans:( long live the queen!

[LS57]

Thanks for posting this. What an incredible show!! Aretha was magnificent. Bridge Over Troubled Water was unbelievable. I, too, enjoyed every minute of the show very much.

[4LOVEpeaceCHANGE]

@LS57 No problem! It was an unforgettable night indeed! :)

I love this thank you for sharing (i think I hit dislike by mistake I do like this vid )

@mjfan4life94 Paul Rodgers and Ann Wilson of Heart are all that I can think of. Like Aretha, they got better with time

[clutch321]

Ok, PLEASE HELP ME: what was the song the band jammed to during her intermission? I think it is a Stevie Wonder song but can't figure out the name.

[mjfan4life94]

For this QUEEN OF SOUL to do this 69 years old is truly remarkable. If I just heard the audio, I would still think it's from 1967. 44 YEARS AGO.! NAME ONE ARTiST who still has the same great voice after 44 years. JUST ONE!

Everytime I see Aretha I leave with a full heart and the words," God is good" ringing in my head. I am not a religious person. Ms. Franklin is simply that beautifully gifted and pure. Thank you to the Queen for sharing her gift with us, for free! I stood in the same cemented spot for 5 hours and felt no pain, you know that was a miracle!!! Xxxooo

Sorry you guys couldn't get any closer, it was a pity they arranged it this way. I was in front (tall guy with hat on.....sorry for people behind me) as I had been in line for hours to get a ticket. I made some video from up closer. If you'd like, just go to my channel to see it.

Wow! Her voice keeps getting stronger and clearer. I saw her in concert last summer and I thought she was great then. This tops even last year!

This is amazing for her to be singing on this level at her age and I heard she had a broken toe on top of it. What a strong and courageous lady. But then again that is the stuff legends are made of. A true living legend.
