Also released in July 1970 was the live album Gold, which had been recorded in March at the Troubadour nightclub in Los Angeles.
Containing new versions of "Solitary Man," "Cherry, Cherry," "Kentucky Woman," and "Thank the Lord for the Night Time," the album was interpreted by some as an attempt to provide versions of the highlights of the Bang catalog for Diamond's current label.
