Neil Diamond

By July 1972, Neil Diamond was riding high on a wave of popularity, following the release of his iconic album 'Tap Root Manuscript' earlier that same year. This album marked a significant shift in Diamond's career, showcasing his lyrical depth and musical versatility, particularly evident in hits like 'Song Sung Blue.' When he performed at the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago, he was not only promoting this recent work but also capturing the raw energy that defined his live shows; the audience was absolutely mesmerized. Plus, it's no secret that 'Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show' became one of his most beloved anthems, mixing gospel fervor with a rock sensibility that perfectly matched his theatrical style. Moments like these not only highlighted Diamond's vocal prowess but also cemented his status as a legendary performer in the heart of the 70s music scene.
