Neil Diamond

In the late 1980s, Neil Diamond was enjoying a resurgence in his career after several decades in the industry. The live recording of "Hello Again" from October 28, 1988, captures Diamond at a pivotal moment. Just a year earlier, he released the album "The Best Years of Our Lives," which showcased his continued evolution as an artist. Interestingly, this period marked his return to the road, reconnecting with fans and reaffirming his status as a beloved performer. The track "Hello Again" itself, from the 1980 album "The Jazz Singer," had re-entered pop culture's consciousness after being featured prominently in the film, which undoubtedly contributed to its powerful reception during live performances. It's worth noting that Diamond's charisma and emotional delivery during this performance truly brings the lyrics to life, making it a memorable moment for those lucky enough to be in attendance.
