Summary: Neil Diamond a Legend
Comment: this DVD concert captures all his best works at the time this was recorded
(some 20 years ago) but if your a fan like me, his voice and his songs are timeless.....a thumbs-up review

Summary: Good Concert DVD
Comment: This is a good Concert. It may not be current video, but it is fun to watch. As a real Neil Diamond fan, it rates a place in my library to re watch again and again.

Summary: Bit of A Disappointment
Comment: Unfortunately there is not a lot of Neil Diamond available on video. Greatest Hits Live is rather hit and miss. Filmed before a small audience at the Aquarius Theatre in Los Angeles in 1988 it appears that Diamond was just going through the motions.

The performance, while it does include some of his best work, seems oddly disconnected and lifeless. The mix is adequate but nothing special. There are times when the camera cuts to a member of the band and you can't really hear the instrument he is playing.

I have seen Mr. Diamond twice before and I know that there are better performances out there. The song selection could have been boosted to add some more of the classics.

All in all you need to take what you can get but this DVD is disappointing.

Summary: Makes You Sing "Hallelujah", "If You Know What I Mean".
Comment: A mixture of several of his hits. There are some omissions such as "Be" (from Jonathan Livingston Seagull) and "Holly Holy", but it includes several of my favorites, such as "America", "Sweet Caroline", "I Am I Said", and "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" (I still wonder if that song is meant to mock Christianity or rather to paint the picture of an old tent revival).

I will say that I prefer Diamond's vocals on the Beatles tribute than the original.

Summary: A 10 Karat Diamond
Comment: If you have never seen a Neil Diamond concert, this DVD makes it clear why Neil Diamond isn't a diamond in the rough, but is the real thing. There is just the band, the audience and the man himself with that fantastic voice. No need for anything else. Sit back and enjoy!!! Rose Leith
