That's because the tempo is faster and the key is higher by a half step. I also love the way the bass player is interpreting it live better than the recorded version. All those together make the difference.

I was there that night in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at the Jubilee Auditorium when sister 'Re brought down the house on Valentine's Day. She asked for somebody to come up and dance with her. Me and another fellow didn't need a second invite and we "bumped" with the Queen of Soul for about a minute for so. I am disappointed that our moment is cut from this this clip, but any least I can relive Aretha's magic preforming this Lamont Dozier song from her "Sweet Passion" album!

I was in Cincinnati for Jazz Festival weekend. Aretha headlined Friday night and Natalie Cole Saturday night. The announcer billed Ms. Cole as the new Queen of Soul. Aretha refused to take the stage. Most of the audience new why! After undetermined about of time the dark stadium lit up flashing Aretha Queen of Soul. "Touch Me Up" was one of the songs Aretha sung. The high notes were present. And Aretha hit notes never heard before. Never mentioned the problem, but talked to us!

Aretha's legacy includes R&B, jazz, easy listening, rock, rock-n-roll, opera and gospel! She was also a gifted songwriter and brilliant pianist. Not to mention a voice so unique that it was declared a National Treasure! No one could clearly define what her voice had that made her stand out from all of the others. Some said soul. Others said life experience! All I know is that Aretha's voice carried a truth that went way beyond the lyrics of a song, i.e. (her moaning on Going Down Slow). She didn't have to use words/ lyrics in a song she was singing to be felt, understood and make me say and feel and even shout out loud, "That's right Aretha"! Just like she was sitting right there next too me even though it was just the CD or album/45 that I was playing. Aretha's voice is a "once in a lifetime blessing/experience! God Bless her for sharing her voice with us.

@1joker88 She said, "Give me 1 more Eight", meaning 8 more bars of music. The song has an 8 measure introduction, but she wasn't quite ready to start yet, so she wanted them to cycle around to the introduction again. If you notice, the oiano player caught her cue and started playing what the horns played by at the beginning of the song, to give her more time to get ready.

Another end of the era Atlantic Records cut that sounds hellafied better live than on the record. If all of Sweet Passion had this type of energy, the album would have been a stone smash. I think Jerry Wexler and Arif Mardin were so busy following behind Roberta Flack being so self contained they forgot bout Ree. This is also after the first of two throat surgeries to remove the damage from Aretha's smoking, and you can tell her vocal range changed tremendously.
