Neil Diamond Live in Concert Performing America and More from 1984
In December 1984, Neil Diamond was riding high on the success of his album "The Jazz Singer," which had been released just two years earlier in 1982. This album was notable for reviving his career and featured popular tracks like "Love on the Rocks" and "America," both of which became staples in his live performances. The live concert at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman, Oklahoma, showcases Diamond's ability to connect with his audience, a hallmark of his performances throughout the years. Fun fact: at this stage in his career, he had transitioned from a primarily singer-songwriter persona to a fully-fledged rock star, blending his heartfelt lyrics with dynamic stage presence. The energy during the performance is palpable, and you can really feel the connection he has with his fans.
