I'd guess this set is one of the most popular bootlegs from this festival, and for good reason. There aren't that many Aretha Franklin bootlegs with excellent sound, and this definitely has excellent sound, just like the rest of the festival. (And keep in mind I've remixed all the songs from all the acts, so this version sounds better than ever before.) This is the only worthy concert recording of hers that I know of from the early 1980s.
Franklin's golden years were the late 1960s and early 1970s. She had a pretty rough late 1970s, with disco not suiting her. But she had a career rebound in the 1980s. That rebound really began this year, 1982, with the hit "Jump to It," which reached Number One on the U.S. R&B chart. Her 1982 album was also titled "Jump to It." Two other songs here come from that, "It's Your Thing" and "I Wanna Make It Up to You," but note that "It's Your Thing" is an early 1970s soul classic by the Isley Brothers. "Love Me Forever" and "Hold On, I'm Coming" are from her previous two albums at the time (though note "Hold On, I'm Coming" is the 1960s Sam and Dave soul classic). All the other songs are from her late 1960s/ early 1970s heyday.
This album is 59 minutes long.
