That's right... on August 14 2009 from 8 to 9 PM on CBS-TV in the US. Mark
your calendars!
And watch for a new Neil Diamond Concert DVD release on the same day!
Here is the press release...
A NEW NEIL DIAMOND CONCERT SPECIAL, "NEIL DIAMOND - HOT AUGUST NIGHT: NYC,"
TO BE BROADCAST FRIDAY, AUG. 14 ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK
This Television Event Celebrates the DVD Release of "Hot August Night/NYC:
Live From Madison Square Garden"
NEIL DIAMOND - HOT AUGUST NIGHT: NYC, a new concert special featuring
highlights from one of Neil Diamond's most memorable recent concerts, will
be broadcast Friday, Aug. 14 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television
Network.
The special features electrifying performances from Diamond's latest
sold-out concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York. Diamond sings
several of his classic and beloved Top Ten hits including "America,"
"Cracklin' Rosie," "I Am...I Said," "Cherry, Cherry" and the world's
greatest sing-along song, "Sweet Caroline." In addition, Diamond reflects on
a recent visit to his hometown, as he takes the audience on his journey from
Brooklyn to Madison Square Garden, in an intimate look at the man behind the
music.
The NEIL DIAMOND - HOT AUGUST NIGHT: NYC broadcast celebrates the
simultaneous DVD release from Sony Music of the complete show recorded
during Neil Diamond's historic four-night run at Madison Square Garden.
Featuring over two hours of live music and 25 career-spanning hits, the DVD
captures the dynamic energy that has epitomized Neil Diamond's live
performances for over four decades and includes "Song Sung Blue," "Holly
Holy," and the very first live release of "Pretty Amazing Grace" from his
most recent #1 album, Home Before Dark. Also included is additional footage
of the exclusive bonus feature "Welcome Home Neil," a behind-the-scenes look
at Diamond's pilgrimage to his childhood home in Brooklyn. The DVD with
bonus CD is available exclusively at all Wal-Mart locations and online at
Walmart.com (www.walmart.com) beginning Friday, Aug. 14.
Neil Diamond's eclectic and universally beloved songs - as well as his
charismatic and openhearted performances of them - continue to make him an
international force both as a record maker and a live entertainer. In an
impressive musical career that has spanned nearly five decades, he has
released dozens of albums and sold more than 125 million records worldwide,
with a remarkable track record of 15 Top Ten albums and 37 Top Ten singles.
His songs such as "Sweet Caroline," "I Am...I Said," "Cracklin' Rosie,"
"America," "Song Sung Blue" and "You Don't Bring Me Flowers," and the rest
of his vast catalog of hits, are the reason that this Grammy-winning artist
was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and received the same
organization's prestigious Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award. Among
Diamond's many other notable honors, he has to date received a Golden Globe
Award and 12 Grammy nominations and, in February, was named the 2009
MusiCares Person of the Year. His latest release, the critically acclaimed
Home Before Dark, his first ever #1 debut, marked one of his most successful
worldwide tours ever, solidifying his status as one of the most dynamic
performers of our time.
