}} ''Hot August Night'' is a 1972 live double album by Neil Diamond ("Hot August night" is also the opening lyric to Diamond's 1969 single "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show"). The album is a recording of a Diamond concert on August 24, 1972, one of ten sold out concerts that Diamond performed that month at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. This also marks the first album released by the newly-formed MCA Records (a merging of the Uni, Kapp, and Decca labels). This album, and its predecessor album ''Moods'', are generally acknowledged to be the two most important recording projects of Diamond's career in terms of defining his signature sound, and in the case of ''Hot August Night'' his live performance style, for the future. Diamond later released two live "sequel" albums, ''Hot August Night II'' (1987) and ''Hot August Night/NYC'' (2009). ==Australian reception== The album has become a great success for Diamond, and in Australia, it spent 29 weeks at number 1 on the album charts during 1973 and 1974. This figure was surpassed in the 1980s by Dire Straits with their album ''Brothers in Arms'' spending 34 weeks at number one on the album charts. In 2003, Delta Goodrem with her Sony BMG-based album ''Innocent Eyes'', also achieved number 1 on the Australian album chart for 29 weeks, thereby tying her with Neil Diamond. It was the number one charting album in Australia for the 1970s, entering the Australian album charts in late 1972 and was still charting in the top 20 in 1976. It re-entered the Australian top 10 in 1982. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hot August Night」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
