Having just scored his first top 10 album with Moods, Diamond had successfully made the transition from tunesmith for others to pop music star. All that was missing to take that next leap to what would one day become an iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career was the defining moment, a signature accomplishment that would differentiate Diamond from the many other singer\/songwriters out there. HOT AUGUST NIGHT, recorded August 24, 1972, during Diamonds sold-out ten-night stand at L.A.s Greek Theatre, was that moment. The album hit number five on the Billboard Top 200 and went double platinum. In Australia it became the most successful album of the 1970s, spending 29 weeks at No. 1 and still charting in the top 10 in 1976, a full four years after it's release. But the impact of HOT AUGUST NIGHT was much greater than just sales. Called \"the ultimate Diamond record\" by All Music Guides Stephen Erlewine, it became a franchise, with two sequels, HOT AUGUST NIGHT II in 1987 and HOT AUGUST NIGHT\/NYC in 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrologue (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrunchy Granola Suite (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDone Too Soon (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDialogue (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolitary Man (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCherry Cherry (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Caroline (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorcupine Pie (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're So Sweet (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Red Wine (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoggy Pretzels (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGitchy Goomy (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd The Grass Won't Pay No Mind (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Think It's Going To Rain Today (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShilo (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModern Day Version Of Love (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGirl You'll Be A Woman Soon (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk On Water (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKentucky Woman (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStones (Live\/Greek Theater\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusician Intros (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlay Me (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanta Libre (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorningside (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSong Sung Blue (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCracklin' Rosie (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolly Holy (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Am...I Said (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoolaimon\/Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show (Live\/Greek Theatre\/Los Angeles\/1972)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"101","offers":[{"title":"New \/ Default","offer_id":51044337090856,"sku":"60252794639","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"New \/ Alternate","offer_id":51075018883368,"sku":"60252794639-ALT","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/2006148.jpg?v=1763983506","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/diamond-neil-hot-august-night-40th-cd-60252794639","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
