I was at one of the 10 concerts that Neil Diamond did at the Greek Theatre in 1972! It was my first ND concert and I remember sitting there during the Prologue trying to process what was happening! At one point I looked at my wife and jokingly asked" are you sure we're in the right place"? As the music built to a climax and the acoustic guitar kicked in I looked at my wife again and said, " here we go "! The stage doors opened, red smoke spilled out, and a full orchestra and band became visible! Neil Diamond then cooley strolled out, picked up his guitar and proceeded to sing 'Crunchy Granola Suite'! The Prologue is the greatest introduction to the greatest concert of all time, and one that I will never forget...

My father kept me immersed in Neil Diamond's music during my formative years (and beyond). After dad committed suicide, Neil is who I have to bring memories of Dad. Dad when he was at his best... Listening to Neil, soaking in the magic. No yelling, no hitting, no throwing, just joy. Neil Diamond, in some way, may have saved my life. Somehow, I feel like he was a member of our family. Much of our family life revolved around Neil Diamond's music. We had an exceptionally large stereo system for that day in age, and we would listen to Neil at 120 db +. So would the neighbors... by default. : )

There have been a lot of LIVE albums over the years by various artists. But Neil Diamonds HOT AUGUST NIGHT and Perter Framptoms FRAMPTOMS COMES ALIVE are the best 2 live albums ever.

Simply Spot on My friend. My Mother was at one of these shows back in 72 and she was happy for days and she purchased the album on the day of release December 72 I was 6 years old I remembered vividly the first time I heard this version of Granola Suite and what grabbed me was The Drums I swear to Christ The Late Great Dennis St Johns massive Drum kit (Even In todays standards pretty damn Huge) Tones were explosive!! His Toms were like Tuned Cannons!
