Neil Diamond - Live At The Greek Theatre 1976 DVD

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00486EJMW/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title.............I thought & i assumed that other Neil Diamond fans may have also thought that Neil Diamond's Live At The Greek was a follow up to the official release of Love at The Greek, which was available on VHS only. I was disappointed with the DVD "Live At The Greek". I have now watched it for the 3rd time & all the songs, not all of them were in my opinion had been taking from the offical Video recording Love At The Greek. The DVD had most of the footage from the VHS Tape. I was surprized & annoyed that when you watched the DVD "Live At The Greek" (I bet Neil dosn't know) as after every track that was sung the DVD quite often jumped to the next track, this happened from the begining to the end of the DVD. A child could have made the DVD better. If i didn't get it from Amazon, i would have said it was a copy. I think my Son could have copied my Love at The Greek VHS if he knew how!As a die hard Neil Diamond Fan, even with my negative coments i am quite happy to add it to my collection until i can find some way or person that can legally copy the VHS to DVD...A Very Belated Happy 70th Birthday Jan' 24th 2011 & your Inductee to The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year. (You have to be a Singer/Songwriter for 25years & you have given us four decades. Congrats:)

I am a great admirer of Neil Diamond and all his music. I was therefore disappointed with yet another DVD which merely trades on the original Hot August Night 1972 probably the best live music concert ever. Sadly the concert has only ever remained on a VHS tape which is no longer available or playable. The fact that the concert has never been transfered to a DVD is either a massive financial mistake or a deliberate ploy to make the millions of Neil,s fans continue to buy other collections with a photo from the original concert on the cover. Can someone please get on and do this transfer so all Neil Diamond fans old and new can see him at his very best.

To people like me, born far too late to have been able to see any concert of Neil DIamond's, this video is just wonderful. 1976 really must have marked a seminal time in Neil's career as a performer. It's an enchanting love affair between a singer and his audience, and having seen this concert, you don't wonder any more why he kept going on tour, even though he hated this way of travelling and even though it probably cost him his marriage. His singing is both spontaneous and intense, his performance authentic and sincere, and you'll only wish you had been one of those 38000 people who were priviledged to be there in Sydney on that evening in 1976.

Love Neil Diamond's music and this was a great occasion.

No

A classic Neil Diamond performance from his "spiritual home" the Greek Theatre in L.A. This was originally a TV special which showcased Neil's live show from 1976. I have the whole programme still on VHS and even this was frustrating to watch because many of the songs were cut short for Neil's spoken vocal sections. This DVD compounds the problems because it cuts even more out of the show and poorly edits the songs together - often without the spoken sections. The audio and video quality is worse than the original VHS tape ! If this show was filmed for the TV special, why can't someone release this classic show in its entirety - digitally re-mastered to give it the format it deserves.

this is a huge disapointment. and its due to the poor quality of the dvd,at times i felt i was viewing a copy.i remember watching a tv special of this concert and was expecting better. this is not a dvd i shall be returning to anytime soon which is a pity as i am a big diamond fan. to anyone thinking of buying this i would strongly advise against it, buy his love at the greek cd instead or better still invest in hot august night nyc dvd, which showcases diamonds talent.

Mostly good but sometimes picture not 100 percent clear.

Ya no hay música así ya no habrá artistas así, por lo que, tener registros de artistas de esta talla, vale la pena tener en la colección. Eficiente servicio como es costumbre.

I had the vhs of this concert for years but when vhs recorders were fazing out I tired to get the dvd for oh about 2 years then found out it was not being made then forgot about it until a few days ago I saw it on your website its a different cover but its its the same concert not sure how long its been out but I am ticked to death that I finally have it

J'avais vu ce show à l'époque grâce à des chaînes de télévision non françaises. C'était du grand professionnalisme. Quand Neil vint à Paris, à la même époque, tout le gratin du show bizz était dans la salle, mais la critique bouda le spectacle. Pendant longtemps Neil ne revint plus à Paris. Il a fini par le faire... Je ne sais si ce fut une bonne idée car, une fois encore, la critique ignora le spectacle. C'est d'autant plus extraordinaire que ce chanteur est un de ceux qui vend le plus de disques dans le monde... Moi, en tout cas, je ne rate aucun de ses passages à Anvers (Belgique). Et je n'ai jamais été déçu. Du grand spectacle parfaitement huilé ! Beaucoup pourraient en prendre de la graine, même parmi les plus grandes "stars" francophones...

I am just now starting to check out the Doobies and I am glad I picked this DVD to start. I have an SACD of one their early records and now this. I was pretty hesitant to pick this up when I saw it was from '82. 1) because I did not know what the Video would be like and 2) a lot of Band's from the 60's and 70's got lost in the '80's. They tried to update their sound (funny thing is that updated sound is what sounds dated now) and it really never worked. Plus people want to hear the songs they way they were recorded. I mean you can stretch them out but putting 80's drum or keyboard sound on a song recorded in the mid 70's is nothing short of sacrilege in my opinion. None of that happens here. the band is tight and doing the songs with the right arrangements. The video is fixed up perfectly and the 5.1 mix is very good. Basically using the front speakers for the music and the rears to give you a hall feel with audience and reverb. 22 minutes of bonus tracks in 5.1. Really sharp image for video from 1982. Could not be happier with this. Well actually I could do with less Micheal MacDonald but it's still great!

Premetto che la consegna è avvenuta in tempi da nomination, considerando che è arrivato dopo soli 4 giorni nel mezzo di ferragosto, l'articolo è adeguatamente protetto da involucro e la custodia del cd è di tipo " a libro", piacevole a vedersi.Questo articolo è comunque da quel che vedo di recente fattura, 2010.Per gli amanti di Diamond.
