About
Hot August Night is a 1972 live double album by Neil Diamond. It is a recording of a Diamond concert on Thursday August 24, 1972, one of ten sold out concerts that Diamond performed that month at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. AllMusic Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewin calls Hot August Night “the ultimate Neil Diamond record … (which) shows Diamond the icon in full glory.” Music critic Lester Bangs called Hot August Night a "fine presentation of the entire spectrum" of Diamond's work and praised its music as "great, pretentious, goofy pop" with a melodramatic, "hymn-like feeling" The album has become a great success for Diamond, and in Australia, it spent 29 weeks at number 1 on the album charts during 1973 & 1974.
