Neil Diamond Performs America Live in Birmingham England

Venue: NEC Arena Location: Birmingham, England, United Kingdom Date: July 5, 1984

In July 1984, Neil Diamond performed 'America' live at the NEC Arena in Birmingham, a standout moment during his extensive career. This performance followed the release of his album 'Touching You, Touching Me' in 1983, which showcased his enduring appeal as a pop crooner. It's fascinating to note that this live recording comes during a period of revival for Diamond, as he was reconnecting with audiences through powerful performances. By the mid-'80s, his music had evolved, blending his signature ballads with more rhythmic, upbeat tracks. Diamond's charisma on stage was palpable, and during this show, even the Royal Mom joined in the fun, shaking a leg in the crowd, which must've been a sight to see! This live recording isn’t just about the song; it encapsulates a moment of joyous connection between the artist and his fans.
