Flashback! Fabulous concert! Best thing next to being there, December 25, 2001
This review is from: Love at the Greek [VHS] (VHS Tape)
If ever there was a "truly great" live concert video, it is this one. You will NEVER see Neil perform like this again. I love this concert filmed in Los Angeles at the Greek Theatre, a 1976 landmark performance. The songs are so true to the original melody and the romantic, sensuous ballads, "Play Me" and "I Am I Said" are mesmerizing.
Neil has fun with the audience for "Song Sung Blue", he calls to the stage, none other that "Fonzie" from Happy Days and singer Helen Reddy. Neil points out to other celebs in the audience.
How wonderful the music is from "Beautiful Noise" and "Lady Oh" and "Street Life" inspired from his Tin Pan Alley days. This is superb. Wow, the "Holly Holy" and "Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show" are rousing and riveting! Neil is beautiful! His voice is captivating, deep and unique.
Enjoy the hits "Cherry Cherry", "Sweet Caroline", "I've Been This Way Before" and "If You Know What I Mean". ....Rizzo

Neil Diamond At His Dynamic Best In 1976 Live In Concert, March 15, 2005
This review is from: Love at the Greek [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This VHS is a wonderful treat. This is a truly great live concert video. You will never see Neil Diamond sing like this again as he did in 1976 at his prime. In this landmark performance the songs are true to their original melodies and so exciting. The program runs for a wonderful 52 minutes. The music is timeless. The songs include:
Cherry Cherry
Sweet Caroline - such a sweet melody gives me chills
Play Me - another great melody
Beautiful Noise - a nice beat
Street Life
Lady Oh
If You Know What I Mean - full of emotion
Song Sung Blue - fun with the audience & Helen Reddy(terrific)
Cracklin' Rosie - the audience can't sit down, so much beat
Holly Holy
I Am...I Said
Brother Love's Traveling
Salvation Show
I've Been This Way Before
Live Concert (Memorial 335/5)

This video is fabulous, April 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Love at the Greek [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Being a Neil Diamond fan since the early 1970's I really enjoyed this video. He is truly a dynamic perormer. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform in concert twice.Once in Louisville,KY,1977and again in Charleston,West Virginia inearly eighties. He is dynamic !!! Draws such a wide variety of people. I'll always remember the lady next to me saying I can't see him because I am blind, but at least I can hear him sing.He will always have a very special placein my memories,as well as heart.
