Neil Diamond - Love At The Greek (1977)

Artist:  Neil Diamond
Title:  Love At The Greek
Release:  1977
Format:  2LP
Label:  CBS Records
Catalog#  95001

“Love at the Greek” is a live double album by Neil Diamond which was released in 1977. It was Diamond's second live album recorded from a concert at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles, and Neil's second album produced by Robbie Robertson of The Band. 
This album was released in conjunction with a television special broadcast of the concert footage that aired in the United States on February 21, 1977. The television special, broadcast on NBC (and simulcast on FM stations nationwide) was also titled "Love At The Greek." The special was nominated for four Emmy Awards.
“Love at the Greek” captures Neil Diamond at the height of his late-'70s excess. Considerably less kinetic and exciting than the previous double-live album “Hot August Night”, “Love at the Greek” finds Diamond at the peak of his powers as a schmaltzy showman, hamming up each of his songs for the audience. It's the kind of performance that will please both dedicated fans, who will love Diamond's no-holds-barred showmanship, as well as listeners with an ear for kitsch, who will no doubt treasure Diamond's immortal introduction "Ladies and gentlemen...the Fonz! Henry Winkler!" on "Song Sung Blue."
