Thank You Australia Concert: Live 1976
Price: $19.98 USD
Neil Diamond is an American legend. He is one of the finest and most successful songwriters of the last forty years as well as being a multi-platinum selling recording artist and one of the most dynamic and consummate live performers of his generation. This concert from the Sydney Sports Stadium was the culmination of his Australia & New Zealand tour in 1976, an event that marked his comeback to the live stage after a creatively fruitful four year sabbatical from live performance. The vast crowd was typical of this record-breaking tour, still one of the most memorable in Australian history, and Neil Diamond delivered the enthralling performance of a true showman.

  • Excellent DVD and extras - back to 1976 !
    Great show and excellent quality DVD; filmed very early in 1976 (before the Beautiful Noise album was released and the Love At The Greek live album was recorded). ND fans will love it.
  • Nice memento of concert.
    <br /> <br />Excellent seller. DVD arrived in fine condition. Very pleased. A+ and thanks.
  • Get it!
    I remember this concert as a teenager growing up just north of Sydney. Diamond's Australian tour had been a sellout around the nation and this concert was televised live on Channel 9 from the old Sydney Sports Ground which has since been demolished and replaced by the Sydney Football Stadium. <br /> <br />Colour television had only been introduced into Australia the year before and this was one of the first major concerts televised in colour which made the experience even more memorable. I especially liked reliving the live ads he read on stage so that the television coverage didn't have to cut away for commercial breaks! <br /> <br />38,000 people in the ground and Diamond at his best. Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and his wife in the front row says plenty about the event. <br /> <br />A great trip down memory lane for those who remember the concert - a must have addition to the Record / CD / DVD collection for any Diamond fan.
  • Great DVD from 1976, never released before.
    This is a DVD made from his trip to Australia in 1976, it was put on national TV all over Australia because all his concerts where sold out and the rest of the people in Australia still wanted to see him. <br /> <br />Rich
