Diamond performed this on The Johnny Cash Show, where he explained: "This song was written about a revival meeting I was at in Jackson, Mississippi. I went there because I was curious, and also because I was a college kid who had all the answers - no one was going to teach me anything and I could lay a few answers on them. I sat in the back of this tent meeting and I got really caught up in the music - clapping, the singing - tremendously exciting.

This marked a turning point for Diamond, as it was a character-driven song as opposed to something personal and introspective. This allowed Diamond to play a character on stage, and he quickly developed into a very charismatic performer. In the liner notes to his boxed set "In My Lifetime," Diamond wrote: "This recording became a hit and was to make a showman out of me. How could you not let go of your inhibitions when playing such a wonderful character?"

"What's up John and Owen,
Well it's Tuesday. But this is the best Tuesday in awhile because it's the one in which I get to celebrate two years of marriage to the wild, the wonderful, the inspiring McKenzie. I was going to request our wedding song Wildflowers, but considering I saw you played that yesterday and how precious time is, how about one of her favorite songs of all time: Neil Diamond's Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Hot August night....And the leaves hanging down....And the grass on the ground smelling sweet...
See you later,
Dukes"
Happy anniversary!
