Details

• Release Year: 2008
• Genre: Music
• Plot: Neil Diamond - Hot August Night/NYC, featuring Neil singing a variety of his classic hits. Neil also reflecting on a recent visit to his boyhood home, taking his audience on a journey from Brooklyn to Madison Square Garden. Written by Done and Dusted; ; ; Record at Madison Square Garden in August 2008, Hot August Night NYC finds Neil Diamond performing an extensive, even exhaustive, collection of 28 songs in front of a capacity crowd. There are a few songs from his Rick Rubin-shepherded 2000s comeback but this, like the other Hot August Nights before it, is hits-heavy and crowd-pleasing -- and if Neil doesn't quite have the energy or voice that he did in the '70s, he still knows how to work an audience and leave them satisfied. As a bonus to the DVD, Hot August Night contains a CD of '10 Favorites,' which winds up being a motley mix of original hits that emphasize his late-'70s singles and re-recordings of 'Sweet Caroline' and 'Play Me.' !by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi.
