DVD Reviews of Neil Diamond - Greatest Hits Live

DVD Review: Atrocious sound
Summary: 1 Stars

I have had the worst time with IMPORTCD. I have had to returne their merchandise three times already. I ordered and payed for two Neil Diamond tapes and I don't know if it was bootlegged but the sound was so atrocious we could not even stand listening to it. I returned them to Import with a covering letter demanding a refund and I have heard nothing from them. Unfortunately I could not find the invoice but had the package slip. I am disgusted with them and will make sure I will never order from them again. One tape was sent in some format that would not play, that went back. A second Pavarotti tape was sent in Hi Def which I don't have that went back now the fiasco with Neil Diamond. I want a full refund I even left them my phone number. It has been a week now

DVD Review: Neil Diamond a Legend
Summary: 4 Stars

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

DVD Review: Good Concert DVD
Summary: 4 Stars

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.

DVD Review: Bit of A Disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars

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 playing.

I have seen Mr. Diamond twice before and I know that there are better performances out there. The song selection could have been boosted to add some more of the classics.

All in all you need to take what you can get but this DVD is disappointing.

DVD Review: Makes You Sing "Hallelujah", "If You Know What I Mean".
Summary: 5 Stars

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.
