Live in America is a two-disc live album by Neil Diamond released by Columbia Records in 1994.[2] It reached number 93 on the Billboard 200 chart.[3] As with his previous live albums Hot August Night and Hot August Night II Diamond performed his old hits with his version of his 1968 song "Red Red Wine" rendered in a reggae style similar to the version done by UB40. In his review of the album music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine states that Diamond "gives one hell of a show".[2]
