Johnnie celebrates Hot August Night, the classic 1972 live album from Neil Diamond, and hears the '70s memories of Lynsey De Paul.

Johnnie Walker celebrates the decade of Tom, Barbara, Margo and Jerry.

This week he celebrates one of the most important recordings of Neil Diamond's career, the 1972 live album Hot August Night. Taken from one of ten sold-out concerts at the open air Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, the double album captures all the glitz and showmanship that Diamond would become known for in the seventies.

Also on the show the British singer Lynsey De Paul picks her favourite tracks from the decade, Paul Simon's move to go solo will be explored in audio from the archive, and another classic seventies single will be added to Johnnie's Jukebox.
