DVD Reviews of Thank You Australia Concert: Live 1976

DVD Review: stunning performance
Summary: 5 Stars

I attended my first Neil Diamond concert in 1976 shortly after this Australian tour. That was 33 years ago. I was mesmerized by the concert I attended in Baton Rouge back then. This DVD captures the same feeling and stunning performance from a master singer/songwriter and entertainer that captivated my attention some 33 years ago. Before this DVD I sometimes dreamed of that first Neil Diamond concert and how great it was. It's such a blessing that now there is a DVD from that era that captures the same magic that I can view and listen to time and again. The Australian TV production should have been better produced, but nevermind - the performance is still a masterpiece and I am glad to return to 1976 to this beautiful noise.

DVD Review: Neil Diamond, the best
Summary: 5 Stars

DVD Review: Excellent DVD and extras - back to 1976 !
Summary: 5 Stars

Great show and excellent quality DVD; filmed very early in 1976 (before the Beautiful Noise album was released and the Love At The Greek live album was recorded). ND fans will love it.

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.

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.
