Where have the years gone? January 5, 2003

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a live Neil Diamond gig. I was one of those aging Baby Boomers swaying creakily to that "good gospel beat". As usual, Neil puts on a crowd-pleasing program, but the years are beginning to take their toll. Diamond's voice occasionally can't keep up with the vocal energy output, the raw edges show, and his voice cracks. I sadly realized that our idol isn't what he once was, and longed to listen to a performance from the "old days". So, I purchased LOVE AT THE GREEK, originally recorded a quarter of a century ago. I listened, the years fell away, and it seemed like only yesterday.This CD is a remembrance of Diamond in his prime when his presentation was as enlivening as strong, hot, harsh coffee with a pinch of sugar and a dollop of cream. (I'd like to say as smooth as Kentucky sippin' whiskey, but that analogy has never described his vocal style.) Of course, the timeless favorites - the ones he sings even at today's concerts - are here: "Kentucky Woman", "Sweet Caroline", "Holly Holy", and "Song Sung Blue". And there's my own personal first choice, the one that introduced me to his music and made me a lifelong fan: "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show". On LOVE AT THE GREEK, you'll also be able to hear songs he doesn't do live anymore (or at least I haven't heard them in recent years): "Glory Road", "I've Been This Way Before", and several from his Jonathan Livingston Seagull suite. In terms of pure, raw energy, Neil's early 70s live concert recording of HOT AUGUST NIGHT certainly has more. However, by the time he appeared on this L.A. evening several years later, Neil had matured to the polished performer that resulted in perhaps his finest live performance soundtrack ever. We shall likely never again hear Neil croon so sweetly.

I have the original vinyl plus this CD and although the years have rolled by the music is timeless. this is still one of his very best albums
A must have for Neil Diamond fans July 8, 2008
T. De Lange (Centurion, South Africa)
Love at the Greek is the culmination of energy and vocal maturity at the peak of his career. The Jonathan Livingston seagul medley is in my view the highlight of the album and certainly a valuable add-on to the original album. In this masterpiece he touches the audience with his heart, singing with sheer emotions, true to the sticky note that said "Remember Hal, I don't only want to be his voice, but his heart." Of course, the other songs, such as Glory Road are valuable to any ND collection too.
