esperminator Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Neil Diamond - BBC Radio 2 - Electric Proms 2010 - Live at The Roundhouse, London; October 30, 2010 It’s likely fans have worn out many a copy of Neil Diamond’s Hot August Night so much so that when it comes to the end of Cherry Cherry at the Roundhouse, one begins to anticipate the opening bars of Sweet Caroline (which was how it was on Hot August Night)… so ingrained is the show in one’s memory. Hot August Night, released in 1972, was not only a hit album but probably presented Neil Diamond at the height of his prowess as a singer and performer - where he could effortlessly plumb the lows on any song. It is also probably the album to compare his live performances and, 38 years later, Diamond hasn’t aged too badly. He can still do Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon without slurring his lines - “I’ve been misunderstood for all of my life/But what they’re sayin’, girl, just cuts like a knife/’The boy’s no good’ “ - easy to sing when you’re young but it sure can trip you up. And the strain shows on And I Am… I Said. And Diamond is such a pro that you even welcome his hocking his new album, Dreams. (It’s the Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show after all.) For the “new” songs on Dreams, such as Midnight Train To Georgia, Ain’t No Sunshine and I’m A Believer, while Midnight Train is basically Gladys Knight’s and one wouldn’t think of it as a Diamond cover, Diamond has slowed down the tempo and given it his own touch; and similarly with the “reinvented” I’m A Believer (a Diamond song made famous by The Monkees). But then again, Diamond has always left his own stamp on other people’s songs - on the Stones album, he had The Last Thing On My Mind, Husbands And Wives, If You Go Away, Suzanne and I Think It’s Gonna Rain Today (the album was bookended by I Am… I Said). It’s hard to listen to these songs and not think of Diamond’s mournful vocals. Already back in 1971, Diamond had a blueprint for his covers album(s)! As on 2008’s Hot August Night/NYC, Diamond appears very gracious and grateful to be entertaining the fans and while this may not be his last hurrah, it sure is nice of him to have Lulu as a guest (whoever still remembers The Boat That I Row?). Listening to this show is fun but it’d be great to watch the TV broadcast, especially when it’s in high-def. Even then, it’d still be too short!
