Lets face it. Just about everybody likes one Neil Diamond song or another. We just hate to admit it. For any Diamond fan they also know that Diamond is only good live on stage and that his studio works are basically a piece of [junk]. This album is the one exception to all of his work. Recorded at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles in August of '72. Diamond comes out in a explosive start and ends with a triumphant finish. All of Diamonds other live recordings can't match this one. "Hot August Night II, "Gold", "Love at the Greek", "Live in America", these can not even come close to the power of his performance this night at the greek. I would recomend getting this album most definately. The only bad thing about it is the B-side to the first Cd which has puke-enducing bad songs. Other than that it's great. So buy it now
