Movie Reviews of Neil Diamond - Greatest Hits Live
Movie Review: Just One star for adequate concert footage!
Summary: 5 Stars
By The Way this applies to both Neil's Greatest Hits Live DVD and STAGES DVD. Tell ya if all of sudden all our audio CD's get lost over the years, yet the DVD's still exist, and if the generation in the next century ever discover them, it would send the wrong impression on the way Neil had his concerts, length, and ect.
With the Greatest Hits Live comes up short as it only has a handfull of songs, and the Headed For The Future section is a shame, I would of had the LIVE version included in the video first and offered up the studio version to the last section. Plus I would of wanted to hear Cracklin' Rosie, Song Sung Blue, Red Red Wine, Thank The Lord For The Nighttime, Holly Holy, The Story of My Life, The American Popular Song, Forever In Bluejeans(REPRISE). Also it's TOO short! Just doesn't chase away our 'Neilie's'. Neil's voice and actions are great in this DVD, but it lacks adequate concert footage.
As for the STAGES DVD. I would of included the ENTIRE concert. We missed a great opportunity to see Neil play the piano during the Yes I Will/Lady Magdelene Medley, The guitar action that Neil gave Cherry Cherry, Red Red Wine, and The Boat That I Row is missing. Also Neil's stage movements and actions with Holly Holy, Soolaimon, Shilo, Forever In Blue Jeans and the songs from the TCO album are missing. Also it would of been interesting to see Neil in the studio and digging out those tapes for the STAGES album.
What also I'm getting at is that we have those audio CD's for a great roadtrip or party, but nothing that can last a while on our TV sets and DVD players. If you only count TWO DVD's that are no more than an hour long, those really don't help me. Greatest Hits Live and STAGES is just nothing but a concert sampler.
