Neil Diamond - Greatest Hits Live

Both my wife and I watched this DVD of Neil Diamond and enjoyed it. Sound and picture quality is excellent.

This DVD is indeed in Dolby 5.1. As a previous reviewer mentioned, it defaults to Dolby PCM but can quickly be changed in the AUDIO menu of the DVD.The audio and video on this DVD are extremely well done. The sound is better - than - CD quality and the performance was edited to perfection. The crew truly captured the concert in its entirety: Neil, crowd, band, and lights. The different camera angels work to further enhance this divine display of talent.As for the concert, Diamond once again poured out his heart and soul for his beloved fans who couldn't contain themselves on such rocking numbers as "I'm Alive" and "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show." It is clear from this performance, as it has been through all of his songs and other concerts, that the fans ARE his life.Neil is at his best in this show, belting out beautiful slow tunes as well as spine - chilling renditions of his more vivacious hits. His medley tribute to John Lennon consistently brings tears to my eyes when I watch it. We get a REAL treat when he sings "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" with Linda Press, his female vocalist. They are perfect together. Their amazing chemistry translates into a version of the song that is superior to his duet with Barbra Steisand.Here's the bottom line: If you get the slightest bit of joy from listening to one of Neil's songs, you HAVE to buy this DVD.

Great song writer...and singer..Genius...

Great concert

He is now 83, and no longer active, but he has written some superb songs that have lasted for three generations.He touches our hearts.

Timeless, beautiful!

If you like Neil Diamond, this DVD is for you. When I got it I was aware that the videos would not be HD with digital sound. So don't expect visual and audio purity. And honestly, you can watch most of them via YouTube for free. I bought it nevertheless because I like Neil Diamond and want the ease of putting it into my CD player whenever I want to.

An excellent Neil Diamond DVD--I'm happy--I especially like his duet with Linda Press of You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore. I'll take some space here to make another plug for the release on DVD of the original Neil Diamond Hot August Night concert from 1972 at the Greek Theater--I believe it was released on VHS but for some reason never on DVD, so I hope someone gets with it.
