• Neil Diamond a Legend
  this DVD concert captures all his best works at the time this was recorded
  (some 20 years ago) but if your a fan like me, his voice and his songs are timeless.....a thumbs-up review

• Good Concert DVD
  This is a good Concert. It may not be current video, but it is fun to watch. As a real Neil Diamond fan, it rates a place in my library to re watch again and again.

• Bit of A Disappointment
  Unfortunately there is not a lot of Neil Diamond available on video. Greatest Hits Live is rather hit and miss. Filmed before a small audience at the Aquarius Theatre in Los Angeles in 1988 it appears that Diamond was just going through the motions.
  The performance, while it does include some of his best work, seems oddly disconnected and lifeless. The mix is adequate but nothing special. There are times when the camera cuts to a member of the band and you can't really hear the instrument he is... more info

• Makes You Sing "Hallelujah", "If You Know What I Mean".
  A mixture of several of his hits. There are some omissions such as "Be" (from Jonathan Livingston Seagull) and "Holly Holy", but it includes several of my favorites, such as "America", "Sweet Caroline", "I Am I Said", and "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" (I still wonder if that song is meant to mock Christianity or rather to paint the picture of an old tent revival).
  I will say that I prefer Diamond's vocals on the Beatles tribute than the original.
