- The yardstick by which.........................
For anyone who has never heard this album before and is looking for something that will leave them spellbound and completely exhausted of all emotions, I really envy you. For you, unlike the millions who already own this, still have the joy of listening to something that is really unique, for the very first time. Rarely can a combination of songs, performer and audience have come together so comprehensively as one, in such an emotionally charged package. From classic love songs to fever pitched gospel, Diamond takes you on a rollercoaster of moods . The energy and sensitivity of his performance has never been equalled. You can't fake an audience response, the like of which I have never heard before or since after his stunning rendition of Holly ... Read More:

- Simply One Of The Best Live Albums Of All Time
This album is pure entertainment. It's as simple as that. Artists' reputations are made in live performance; this album illustrates - no - PROVES - that Neil Diamond is one of America's premier live performers. The sheer quality of the music shines like a beacon. And that voice is just unmistakable. This is one of the best live albums in the music business. Never mind diamond, this is pure gold!

- A Live Album of Rare Quality
Neil Diamond: 30 years ago live in concert.They dont come much better than this.This album is an amazingingly well produced and performed live album.The quality of the recording is stunning and then there is Neil Diamond himself singing songs that are songwriting masterpieces;tender,beautiful,heartfelt and touching those areas of the mind and heart that only truely great music can do.He has written some of the greatest and most beautiful songs of the last century and all those years ago at the Greek theatre he performed them with an aura that surpasses the many years ago it happened.A live album of rare perfection.It shouldnt matter what music you are into,if you really are a musicphile,this album should be in your collection.

- Best Live Album Ever
Since the age of 5 when my dad bought this album on vinyl I have been a Neil Diamond fan. I'm not so fussed about his more recent stuff (post The Jazz Singer) but Hot August Night has to be the most outstanding live performances ever recorded. An amazing singer songwriter, outstanding music, lyrics, band, orchestra - and what a voice!

I'm 33 years of age and I don't think this album will ever be surpassed in my lifetime.

- What's the difference?
As a 26 year old many people find it unusual that I am a Neil Diamond fan!? However I can honestly say that since the age of probably six I have always been so.

The album which I battered on my fathers' turn table which first captured my attention at such an early age was 'Hot August Night'

It is safe for me to say that this is probably mr. Diamonds best ever live performance however, as the title suggests, he doesn't change. I went to see Neil Diamond at the Birmingham NEC Arena 20.07.02 and except for the expected like a little loss of umph ( he is 61 now!) nothing really changes.

Hot August Night is like a musical pheonix rising from a stale world of boring entertainment, the emotion which Neil produces from both ... Read More:
