Neil Diamond / Hot August Night 40th Anniversary Edition

Neil Diamond will celebrate 40 years since the release of his 1972 live double album Hot August Night this summer with an Anniversary reissue that boasts four previously unreleased tracks. The album is a recording of a Diamond concert from 24 August 1972, one of ten sold out concerts that he performed that month at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.

Hot August Night is very much regarded as a defining album for an artist whose career is still going strong. Indeed, Neil Diamond returns to that very same theatre this August (11th and 16th) for some live concerts – completing the circle of a forty year journey.

Hot August Night 40th Anniversary Edition is out on 31st July and can be pre-ordered here (US).
