DVD Reviews of Thank You Australia Concert: Live 1976
DVD Review: Nice memento of concert.
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent seller. DVD arrived in fine condition. Very pleased. A+ and thanks.
DVD Review: Get it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember this concert as a teenager growing up just north of Sydney. Diamond's Australian tour had been a sellout around the nation and this concert was televised live on Channel 9 from the old Sydney Sports Ground which has since been demolished and replaced by the Sydney Football Stadium.
Colour television had only been introduced into Australia the year before and this was one of the first major concerts televised in colour which made the experience even more memorable. I especially liked reliving the live ads he read on stage so that the television coverage didn't have to cut away for commercial breaks!
38,000 people in the ground and Diamond at his best. Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and his wife in the front row says plenty about the event.
A great trip down memory lane for those who remember the concert - a must have addition to the Record / CD / DVD collection for any Diamond fan.
DVD Review: Great DVD from 1976, never released before.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a DVD made from his trip to Australia in 1976, it was put on national TV all over Australia because all his concerts where sold out and the rest of the people in Australia still wanted to see him.

DVD Review: 1976... The Final Frontier for Neil Diamond
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't believe the negative reviews! This is by far the best Neil Diamond DVD out there! Sure, if you like all that Heartlight/Coming-to-America/Bring-me-no-flowers crap, and if you like his glittery costumes and Vegas schtick, then you'll hate this DVD. Mainly because ND was still a great songwriter/performer at this point. After 1976, Neil slowly moved into the realm of shlocky muzak balladeer, down there with Lionel Richie & Leo Sayer. Some reviewers complain about the sound. If you have a decent stereo TV, this sounds fine. Just turn it up. Those with 5.1 surround sound and a pristine home theater will hate this and most 60's & '70's DVD's. Such people wouldn't be happy unless Neil played in their freaking living room! Yes, I think Hot August Night is his undisputed peak, but until that is released on DVD, this Australian show stands as classic Neil Diamond. I subtract one star for the cheesy '70's synthesizer that replaces counter-melody guitar lines on Cracklin' Rosie & a few others. Thankfully, there are no disco songs to cringe over.DVD Review: Nostalgia but with terrible sound
Summary: 3 Stars
To tell you the truth I was looking forward to getting the Neil Diamond Live DVD from Australia. But the sound quality is bad and because of that I haven't watched it right though. I will one day.
The audience sounds like they are in a tunnel and that becomes distracting. The original production was not particularly good. It is from 1976 and was a TV concert but this DVD release seems without any enhancement and is a wasted opportunity.
Description of Thank You Australia Concert: Live 1976
Neil Diamond is an American legend. He is one of the finest and most successful songwriters of the last forty years as well as being a multi-platinum selling recording artist and one of the most dynamic and consummate live performers of his generation. This concert from the Sydney Sports Stadium was the culmination of his Australia & New Zealand tour in 1976, an event that marked his comeback to the live stage after a creatively fruitful four year sabbatical from live performance. The vast crowd was typical of this record-breaking tour, still one of the most memorable in Australian history, and Neil Diamond delivered the enthralling performance of a true showman.TRACK LISTING 1) Missa 2)Soolaimon 3) Play Me 4) Solitary Man 5) Cherry Cherry 6) Sweet Caroline 7) The Last Picasso 8) Longfellow Serenade 9) Song Sung Blue 10) Cracklin' Rosie 11) Holly Holy 12) I Am...I Said 13) Anthem 14) Be 15) Dear Father 16) Skybird 17) Lonely Looking Sky 18) Anthem (reprise) 19) Be (reprise) 20) Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show 21) I've Been This Way Before
