Hot August Night is a 1972 live double album by Neil Diamond ("Hot August night" is also the opening lyric to Diamond's 1969 single "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show"). The album is a recording of a Diamond concert on August 24, 1972, one of ten sold-out concerts that Diamond performed that month at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. This also marks the first album released by the newly formed MCA Records (a merging of the Uni, Kapp, and Decca labels).
Hot August Night 1972 - "He knocked them dead. One of the greatest albums ever made. Neil came through a cloud of smoke and the audience just exploded. It was the first time I saw him confident on stage. Hot August Night was the big turning point. That magnetism that people think of with Neil Diamond was born on that night. Lee Holdridge - Composer and conductor collaborated with Neil Diamond on the film score for Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Neil Diamond 1972 Live Album: Hot August Night.

Hot August Night is one of his more celebrated and acknowledged albums of his career and arguably one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. I must start by saying that I am not a die-hard Neil Diamond fan. If anything, I was always intrigued by the album cover because I am a big fan of Jim Morrison and Neil reminded me of him in that photo.
