So Many Roads To Ease My Soul: Neil Diamond - 1976-03-09

Dead Links & Re-Posts

If you come across a dead link, please leave a comment under the post and we will do our best to repost it within 72 hours. Please be polite when you ask for a re-post - a little kindness goes a long way. Please limit your requests to 1 a week - lots of other folks are asking and I just can't get to them all if you overload me with requests. And please don't ask me to re-post every show by a particular artist. As said, I can handle requests for a show a week, but if you are asking me to re-post dozens of dead links, I simply won't be able to handle that. Thanks for understanding.

Neil Diamond - 1976-03-09 - Sydney, Australia (FM)

Incredibly, in late 1972, soon after the 10 night stand at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles that yielded the legendary live disc Hot August Night, Neil Diamond took an almost 4 year sabbatical from live performances. When he finally returned to the stage, it was in early 1976 with a tour of New Zealand and Australia. Diamond set attendance records everywhere he played with shows often selling out even before the dates were officially announced. By the time the three-week tour wrapped up in Sydney, Diamond had played to more than 150,000 fans. The tour was so popular, in fact, his final Sydney concert was broadcast live, as a gesture of thanks to everyone who had supported him and for those who had been unable to attend the shows. This FM broadcast captures that final, triumphant concert in Sydney on on March 9, 1976, 39 years ago today.
