Neil Diamond played two nights at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Tuesday and Saturday with a 24-song, 2-1/2 hour show.
While much of the set remains the same since he opened the tour, there are a few changes including the additions of Kentucky Woman, Crunchy Granola Suite, Morningside and Pretty Amazing Grace and performing only one song from his latest album, Melody Road, instead of three, but the biggest change may have been his leaving Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show out of the set list which has been a regular part of Diamond’s show since 1970.
