Hot August Night captures Neil Diamond at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles in 1972, and this remastered two-CD edition preserves the concert that defined him as a live performer.
Diamond played a run of shows at the outdoor venue that summer, and the resulting double album became one of the most beloved live records of its era, nowhere more than in Australia, where it became a fixture of family record collections.
The setlist is a hit parade. Sweet Caroline turns the crowd into a choir, Cracklin' Rosie bounces with brassy glee, and Holly Holy builds into a gospel-tinged climax that seems to lift the whole amphitheater off its foundations. Solitary Man reaches back to his earliest days as a songwriter, delivered with the conviction of a man who knows exactly how far he has come.
Between songs, Diamond's warmth and showmanship shine through, and the band and orchestra give everything a grand, cinematic scale. It is a performance that feels both enormous and personal.
Decades later, it is still the yardstick for great live albums, and the remastered sound lets every crescendo land with full force, from the hush of the quiet moments to the roar of the encores.
