when you hear this cd therese a point when you feel like you are there. i love great live performances. .


Experiencing Aretha Live!
This CD is all that and a big bag of chips. Aretha Franklin's Live At Fillmore was suggested to me by another fan.
Aretha Franklin has so much energy and you can tell she is a true entertainer.
The crowd screaming her name makes you feel as though you are in San Francisco at the Fillmore West for the concert.
Her calling Ray Charles on stage to perform was awesome.
Every song is crisp and clear. The band is with her song for song.
i was surprised of the two CD's from different performances. I can listen to both and still feel like I want more.


aretha arrives on time.
She loves Aretha Franklin and hadn't heard this fabulous cd. The purchase was a gift for my sister who lives way out in the country. It arrived
on time. That was the most important thing to me. She called and thanked me for it so it must be an excellent quality cd. I've never had a complaint about the quality of Amazon. com products.


Aretha +King Curtis=AMAZING
For less than 10% of that price,by getting both Aretha's 2 disc set and King Curtis' single disc,you get a healthy chunk of the boxset. As of this writing,there is a copy of the Rhino Handmade 4CD set of this material going for over 500 bucks. And it should be noted that the Aretha set shows up in many a spinner rack in drugstores for 8 bucks(that is how I got mine and I've seen it in lots of these places). I've owned the Curtis set since it came out(hey,instrumentals always grab me ahead of vocals)but Aretha's set is indeed the diamond in the rough raved about here. Of interest to me with the additional material is her cover of Jimmy Webb's "Mixed-Up Girl"(oddly enough,performed as there is a real mix-up somehow between the singer,the backup singers,and the band). This tune was done by Thelma Houston's debut,"Sunshower",produced by Webb and sinfully neglected on CD by Universal Music. (Weird that Joey Scarbury,yes, of Great American Hero fame,recorded this first,as "Mixed-Up Guy"). .


Aretha and King Curtis
I wanted to get the feel of the whole shebang. I picked this up along with the King Curtis Live at the Fillmore set. Plenty of evidence here why Aretha was rated as the #1 singer in Rolling Stone. Confident, relaxed, unerring she takes the band and audience with her where she's going - must have been a great trip for those who were there. And what a treat to have Aretha backed by King Curtis and his terrific band. Put it on, sit back and relax, empty your mind, and let the music take you to a place where time slips away and what matters most is bathing in this voice, this band, these songs.
