DATA DI PUBBLICAZIONE: settembre 2019.
LABEL: Diamond Anniversary Editions Resurrection [3595-6/7].
AUDIO: **** / *****
NOTE: emissione consistente in 4 CD ed altrettanti LP (di color blu, porpora o bianco), per la gioia delle tasche degli incalliti collezionisti, che non propone nulla di nuovo ma che è davvero molto bello da vedere.
Siamo di fronte allo stesso materiale emesso dalla vera “Diamond” nel 1996: le prove ad Hollywood del 16 agosto 1974 e lo storico opening show di tre giorni dopo a Las Vegas, quello con una scaletta stravolta rispetto al “normale”.
I vinili e i CD, ovviamente, riportano il medesimo contenuto.
