  In February 1989, when Neil Diamond performed live at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, he was enjoying a notable resurgence in his career, largely attributed to his 1986 album "Heartlight." This album included the hit title track and showcased his ability to adapt to contemporary pop music trends while maintaining his signature style. By this time, Diamond had transitioned successfully from the singer-songwriter era of the late '60s and '70s, which had solidified his status as a major star. The live recording captures his charismatic performance style and connection with the audience, which had become hallmarks of his concerts. Interestingly, Diamond's work had also included collaborations and soundtracks, further broadening his appeal. The 1989 Toronto concert reflects his enduring popularity and ability to engage audiences, even as music trends shifted around him.
