Cherry, Cherry (live at the Greek Theatre/2012)

This live rendition of Cherry, Cherry captures Neil Diamond in his element, performing at the legendary Greek Theatre in 2012.

Unlike the lean, percussive 1966 original, this version is a maximalist celebration. It features a sprawling backing band complete with a punchy horn section and a wall of percussion that fills the outdoor air. The recording carries the specific electricity of a summer night in Los Angeles, where the artist and the audience are locked in a decades-old dialogue of mutual affection.
