Months ago, I posted an Etta James concert of her at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1977. Today, I'm posting her appearance at the exact same concert venue in Montreux, but two years earlier, in 1975. The sound quality and performance is excellent. Clearly, it's a soundboard, due to it being recorded for a live radio broadcast. This is a very lucky thing, because it's the earliest worthy concert recording from her that we have, with the notable exception of her officially released 1963 live album "Rocks the House."
Originally, I posted only a portion of the concert (about 45 minutes). But I have since been able to find the whole thing, an hour and 20 minutes. The only change I made was to make her comments between songs into separate tracks.

I'm very happy to say that the cover art photo comes from the exact concert in question. Since this concert is so similar to her 1977 appearance at the same place, I used the same font for this cover. But to make sure the covers wouldn't get confused with each other, I used a very different color for the text.
