Aretha Franklin - Live at Concertgebouw 68

Does anybody know if this is the very first time this is being released onto DVD? I've seen footage from this concert on Youtube.

I think so. I don't believe I've ever seen any clips from this performance. Her Sweden concert from the same tour has made the rounds for a while, with basicially the same set-list. But this one adds GOOD TO ME AS IM TO YOU, which should be in a treat by itself.

I've seen this last weekend. The opening is very messy, she opens with "I Can't Get No Satisfaction", the audience is throwing flowers, standing on their feet, then the announcer [[Willem den Draaijer, who owns the footage and released it via his company Red Bullet) comes to the stage and is asking everyone to sit down, otherwise the concert will be stopped.

Strange to see so many people dancing in their seats while sitting down.
