Neil Diamond

In 1982, just before the recording at The Summit in Houston, Neil Diamond was basking in the glow of his album 'Heartlight,' released that same year. This period marked a pivotal moment in his career, showcasing his shift towards a more pop-oriented sound while still retaining his trademark storytelling flair. The live performance captured here features 'You Baby' and 'I’m Alive,' two energetic tracks that highlight Diamond's ability to engage audiences with both upbeat rhythms and heartfelt lyrics. Interestingly, 'Heartlight' drew inspiration from the film 'ET,' further establishing Diamond's connection to pop culture during the early '80s. His charisma on stage mixed with emotive songwriting made his live shows legendary, and this concert video captures that magic perfectly.
