3.0 out of 5 stars WARNING...TAKE NOTE, October 2, 2008

By	gary thomas "registered user" (Down South) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Take another look at the picture of this CD. It says "Tour Edition", which means many of the songs are recorded live during the tour. If you are looking for songs as played on the radio, you may be dissapointed with this CD set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Turns out I'm a big fan!, June 30, 2008

By	hyside (Santa Rosa, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Okay, I'll just come out and say it, I love Neil Diamond! My husband and I are taking my Mom to go see him in concert and I'm just as stoked about it as she is! I got this CD as a refreasher course thinking when I got done with it I would give it to Mom. Well sorry Mom, but this CD is a keeper! I love it and every time I listen to it I find myself singing along more and more. The thing that most amazes me about Neil is the fact that only one song on this CD is not written, or co-written by him. I had no idea he wrote several of the songs because I have only heard other artist's cover the song. I'm guessing that's a big pat on the back when other artists do that sort of thing.

I really enjoyed the first 2 CD's in this collection, however the LIVE CD would not play at all in 2 different CD players which was disappointing to me.
