Is neil diamond hot August night on DVD?

Answer 1

Hot August Night is not a song, but it is the opening line of one of his songs, Brother Love"s travelling Salvation Show, which is mildly anti-religious, the line Now You got yourself two good hands, one for to give and one for to take (bad Grammar) seems to be poking fun at the Last Supper and Communion. I find it sickening to see a sacrament profaned in such a fashion. I believe the concert was televised, there were several Diamond gigs given TV coverage. Mr. Diamond never had a regularily scheduled program like Glenn Campbell or the Don Kirshner rock concerts.

Sorry, but you have it all wrong. Firstly, the question was if there was any visual recording (e.g. DVD) of the performance on August 24, 1972. This performance was - "Hot August Night." There is no video of the concert; there are only a few still images.

It is not "mildly anti-religious. It is about a powerful/dynamic preacher preaching to his congregation. The line is in fact "Now you got yourself two good hands, one for the giving and one for the taking" (grammatically correct). And no, it is not poking fun at the Last Supper or Communion. The concert was not televised. Just where did you get your "information" from? - Neil Diamond fan of 40 years.

Answer 2

Not an officially released one, no. But it's not unlikely that there is a bootleg, crappy quality one floating out there somewhere. You have to know the right people and must have some kind of trading experience and a collection in order to hopefully come across a copy.
