Source-derived summary

Live – In the Heat of the Night is a live album by British heavy metal band Diamond Head, recorded at the Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall during their 1991 comeback tour. It was originally a video bootleg, but was released on the insistence of their manager Steve Guard in 2000, in tribute to the band's live sound after their breakup after the Death and Progress album in 1994. It contains a thank-you note from vocalist Sean Harris on the inner sleeve. The band ended up reforming in late 2000 to perform some acoustic numbers in order to promote this album with Floyd Brennan ending in the release of the First Cuts EP.

This live album consists of two discs. The first is an audio recording of the show, whilst the second is video of the concert, although neither disc captures the entire show. The set started with "Wild on the Streets", which does on appear on the album, nor does the encore, Diamond Head's flagship "Am I Evil?". The second disc captures even less of the show, as it starts filming at "Feels Good" and films up until "Run".

The album contains several unreleased songs, such as "Let Me Down Easy" and "She Comes Down", as well as a medley of cover songs at the end of disc one, which was rare for Diamond Head.

The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1991, 2000, 1994—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2000. The account is most persuasive where Live, Heat and Night can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2000 live album by Diamond Head. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6658132. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991, 2000 and 1994.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
