Ms. Franklin was totally entertaining from the moment she stepped out on the stage!! She looked beautiful and sang as though she was 20 years younger!! I wish she would have sang more of her most popular songs, but it is what it is!! She moved, grooved and delivered. Lifetime memorable!

It was pure Aretha. She paid homage to Nippy!!!!. From the first note to the last, it was all joy to my ears and heart.

"The Queen of Soul" Aretha is truly one of the best . I simply love everything about her. The concert was fantastic - the gowns, the white mink coat- the titus orginal black dress (which fit her to a tee). This concert will go down in my history book of concerts as one of the best I've ever seen.

Aretha Franklin took us on a soulful journey through her music from her early days in gospel to Pink Cadillac to her latest album. No one does it better than her Highness.

The Queen of soul was everything I thought she would be. I knew she couldn't do all of her songs, even though she was on stage for 1.5 hours, but what she did was wonderful. This was my first time seeing her but I will go again if and when I get the chance.

Venue was better than I had imagined! Seats were great...not feel too close to people. Show started on time...Music was wonderful...background singers were fantastic and the QUEEN was FANTASTIC....I really enjoyed the show and was glad that I went...worth the cost. The tribute to Whitney was not really necessary...the time would have been better spent on more songs by Aretha with a brief tribute instead. ..but...overall great show...

Opening act (comedian) was short and should not advocate political views. Timing between opening act and Aretha coming on stage was too long. We stared at the band for 25 min, Aretha was wonderful and the band was fabulous. Wanted to hear more of her oldies as opposed to the newer material. Thought the backdrop pictures were not planned well - too few we saw the same pictures over and over - production was poor quality. Overall too short and I do realize the age of the artist so I guess it is expected.

I enjoyed the show. Wish it was a little longer. I didnt like that my seats were to the right of the stage and she sang to the left and the front of her all night. I looked at her back most of the time.

2012 is my year of seeing the "Legends". With the passing of Whitney, Teena Marie, etc., I've made it a point to see the 'greats' while they are still touring. I went into this concert not really knowing what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised with the way that Aretha moved through her body of work. She was in great voice, she touched all parts of her considerable range and she had great energy and stage presence. She even belted out a few tunes from the piano including a tribute to Whitney Houston. The thing I will tell anyone looking to attend an Aretha concert is to remember that she is an unashamed "church girl" (hooray!), so there will be a set dedicated to her gospel roots. If you're uncomfortable with that sort of thing, be sure to sit quietly and let others enjoy. She will certainly sing something that you'll enjoy. My wish is that she'll do some of her better known classics such as "Until You Come Back to Me", "Chain of Fools", "Say A Little Prayer", etc. However, you won't be disappointed.

I loved this concert so much. Aretha voice was amazing. The band was fantastic. The fox was the best venue small and intimate. The comedian her opening act wasn't good, he told to many Obama jokes which I didn't care for but others thought was funny. I would love to see this concert again

Show was delayed by some 25 minutes with no explanaiton, even though the warm up comedian said she was coming right up.
Sound mix was pretty bad, very muddy and boomy on the low end. Graphics (photo snap shots) were poorly placed and somewhat irrelevant. Aretha did a good performance, but couldn't overcome all these issues.
She maybe performed 40-45 minutes.

Music was just too loud and overpowered Aretha's vocals. Didn't do very many of her old standards. Was expecting more and she ust didn't deliver.
