Not up to Hot August Night but better than other ND live stuff. May 10, 2008
I like this one a great deal more than "Hot August Night II." Neil's voice was at it's primo in 1976. I also love the "Jonathon Livingston Seagul" medley.

I am a big fan, but this is where Neil jumps the shark. The Song Sung Blue part of this concert is so bad it is funny; Las Vegas did not become Neil. Gold was the first concert album and the best; his voice wasn't shot yet. Hot August Night has great moments, but LATG just has cringe moments.
Please put out the whole show on CD!!!! April 3, 2007

OK Sony/Columbia, it's your turn! The only reason this CD does not receive five stars from me is because there has yet to be a deluxe edition of it that contains the entire show. I still have my double-LP copy, and as a number of other reviewers have stated, two songs _ "Longfellow Serenade" and "The Last Picasso" _ were left off when this show was put on a single CD. This was understandable in the earlier years of the CD revolution. The whole program obviously wouldn't fit in 74 minutes and the powers that be didn't think a two-disc version would sell, I suppose. Given the number of Neil Diamond fans on this planet, I would say that was a false assumption!!!
In any case, I'm using this forum to urge Sony/Columbia to put out a deluxe edition of "Love at the Greek" with the entire show included. I am fortunate enough to have a laser disc entitled "Love at the Greek," which I believe was recorded at the same concert. Although it is only 52 minutes long and contains only 12 songs, it has four songs that are not even on the double LP version of "Love at the Greek." For those who are interested, those songs are "Cherry, Cherry," "Play Me," "Cracklin' Rosie," and "I Am...I Said." Add those four songs, plus "Longfellow Serenade" and "The Last Picasso," and you have a MINIMUM of 21 tracks for a deluxe, 2-CD "Love at the Greek." And I'm betting there are other songs from the show languishing in the vaults, waiting to be discovered as well.
So remaster it on a two-disc set and you'll make a whole lot of ND fans happy. And while you're at it, how about putting the whole thing on DVD with 5.1 sound? Since there was a laser disc, I'm sure the video footage is locked away somewhere!!!

Great CD. It replaced our old LP that was a bit scratchy and this one is so clear.
