In the summer of 1971, Neil Diamond played seven sold-out nights at the famed Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA to a rapturous reception. The following August, he returned for ten more sold-out shows, an event forever captured on the multi-platinum Hot August Night, a set that demonstrated once and for all Diamond's growing status as a superstar concert sensation. Fifteen years later Diamond released the follow-up, Hot August Night II, which was recorded live in concert in August of 1986. The Platinum-certified collection may capture Diamond at a different stage of his career but he still remains the ultimate showman here turning in passionate performances of his biggest hits including "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," "Cracklin' Rosie," "Song Sung Blue," "Love On The Rocks," "Sweet Caroline," "I Am...I Said" and "Heartlight."
