In August 2008, during one of the most successful years of his career, his latest album topping both the US and UK charts, Neil Diamond played four sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden in New York, his hometown.
Hot August Night / NYC features over two hours of electrifying performances and 25 career-spanning hits. It captures the dynamic energy that has epitomized Neil Diamond's live performances for over four decades and includes "Song Sung Blue," "Holly Holy," and the very first live release of "Pretty Amazing Grace" from his most recent album, Home Before Dark.
In addition, Diamond reflects on a recent visit to his hometown, as he takes the audience on his journey from Brooklyn to Madison Square Garden, in an intimate look at the man behind the music.
