12 Spirit in the Dark . Franklin's peak years were 1967 to 1974. In terms of the song list, this was pretty standard for the time, and there's a lot of similarity with her 1971 live album, "Aretha Live at Fillmore West." But there are very few live recordings from that era with great sound quality, so I figure this is worth posting.

As a nice bonus, the leader of her band in this concert was saxophonist King Curtis, a star in his own right. He features prominently on the first two songs before Franklin even came to the stage, especially "Soul Serenade," which was a hit for him in 1964. Sadly, he died just two months later when he was stabbed by a stranger in New York City.
