[scubajake01]

Is there any video footage of the original Hot August Nights? I cannot find anything anywhere.

[fanniebay69]

Soothes the soul .

[CogentXXX]

My favourite album of all time... Hot August Night. The original and still the very best. I have in on vinyl, CD and on iTunes. Just great.

The best.....

[Stephenoit]

I was at this concert. It was really Wonderful. The best concert that I have ever seen, that is for sure.

[TheMummaduck]

It brings memories flooding back for me too, music was my life! as an early teenager, I ate this stuff! dreaming of becoming a famous composer, musician, singer or something significant. Oh how life turned out completely different !

[deeryker]

@TheMummaduck fuck off ye moany bollox

[PlanTonto]

@deeryker  Troll

[MrBreakingBad1]

This should have been a song, I love the start of this so much, it makes me feel so inspired.

[Durbsgirl72]

Actually you know what annoys me thet most - you can't actually listen to this without the CGS that comes after!!! wtf!!!! Why stop it - the 2 are 1!!!!

[Durbsgirl72]

Absolutely THE best Intro ever!! 

[AMHClements]

That was definitely a different look for Neil but there seems to be no other photos out there.

[everythingBLUE]

Remember songs that did not have explicit versions, Hogans Heroes, Lassie, Gun Smoke, Red Skelton....Good Night and May God Bless, I think we peaked. What now?

[myronperish]

This part is so moving brings back memories as a lonely single highschool freshman.

[spahjrp]

@myronperish Yep, been there. You just have to wonder how things may have turned out had "something" been a little bit different.

[kgooner]

Friendliness, Happiness, Normality, Tv and Music as great as Hot August Night.. The Seventies spoilt me forever... I thought it would always be as good as this.......

[drums2play1]

timeless

[2jennyp]

This is just fantastic, the best album ever! Saw Neil in concert live a few years ago, still just as good

[feuermelder888]

das geilste intro was es je gab....

[mchllemay]

A Masterpiece!

[Walter90182560]

Beautiflow, no sé si se escribe así pero es grandioso que hubieran subido los temas de antaño, discos que ya están muy deteriorados y no funcionan, soy un seguidor de Diamond y aunque no sé inglés, agradezco a quienes subtitulan sus temas, felicitaciones a todos tienen un muy buen gusto en música

[AMHClements]

I can play this album over and over again, just wish there was live footage somewhere.

[MsSusanmary]

@AMHClements ---- dont we all ?!?! :-)

[TheBambooMEDIA]

@AMHClements Yea ime with you on that one

[mrsjeanierat]

Mind blowing awesome. Best music ever

[kmacdowe]

My parents dragged me to my first concert as a kid. Wrecked my forever, I thought all concerts should be like this.

[Dallouez]

Sigh, wondewrful. Wish there were more music l;ike this. I would light a candle turn off the lights and put on headphones that cover the ears and crank it up to 9! I thought if they did this to a song like Carol of the bells where one group sang from one end of the audiance then another group from the other end then the stage!

[bobolob]

What a brilliant way to start a concert!

[kathesua]

this is it, dit is het, the way it begins, zoals het begint, geweldig! I just love it! Marijke

[Loohome]

Helemaal eens !

Jammer dat de opname zo abrupt wordt afgebroken.

[MrSundek]

can play this over and over. the best piece of music. david

[thor2me]

Used to listen to this album over and over again on my Dad's awesome quadraphonic killer stereo.... One of the best live albums ever.

[kmacdowe]

Is it possible no one videod this concert?

[breadbaker226]

I heard there was a movie made but have never seen a sign of it....

[kmacdowe]

Me neither.

[ReDeV7]

Brilliant! Anyone got my fave song on this concert, Holly Holy. I thought that was the best version i'd ever heard.

[mallett4]

@ReDeV7 Have got the version from the LP will put it onto cd if you want

[ReDeV7]
