    I was privileged to see Neil in concert.
    My favorite concert I have ever been too.
    It was the only concert I have attended that no one left their seat!
    No one left to use the bathroom or gets drinks.
    Everyone was glued to their seats memorized by his stage presence his amazing songs and his beautiful voice.
    Most of his songs he wrote and have a meaning behind them.

    Saw him many Tim’s in concert…three hours of Heaven…no opening acts,no intermissions. Neal was shy and introverted but said he became a different person onstage. Glory Road,Forever in Bluejeans,Holly Holy,Beautiful Noise,Love on the Rocks to name a few. Amazing performer wrote most of his own storytelling songs! He was often referred to as the Jewish Elvis! Thank you for going down the Neil Diamond trail! Most of his songs directly related to what was going on in his life at the time.

    "Charisma Performers" are extremely rare, especially young charismatic performers. In the 60s & 70s there was a massive number of young people (18-30) compared with today's % population due to the baby boomer generation. Therefore, there were more young singers and more chance of finding a 1/100,000 charisma performer. Simple math. If we had more young people today singing we could find another charismatic performer like Neil Diamond or James Brown. Now Elvis was a 1 in 10 million. That would be hard to replicate but not impossible.

    Thank you for your reaction, Chod! For my money the best two Neil Diamond songs are this one and "Brother Love's Traveling Show"! Put it on your long list of songs to get to, right after "Hi-De-Ho" by Blood Sweat and Tears (I am sooooo looking forward to seeing your fact when you react to that one!). Best wishes Chod to you and yours, stay well!!

    Beautifully melancholy song. When Neil first started out, the record company tried to get him to change his last name, because they thought it sounded fake. He said no way, he was keeping the last name of Diamond.
    He has a bunch of great songs, some of which you've reacted to, but my favorite is the incredible "Be," which Neil wrote for a movie and even conducted the orchestra. The lyrics are deep and the music gorgeous. Please, react to that song one day.

    Loved what you had to say. I don't know if you have done any of the following, but if you did not see the "Neil Diamond Talks About" I suggest you do. I just wanted to suggest that you look at the "Neil Diamond Talks About" (various videos) Especially "Neil Diamond Talks About "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" Then Plays It, Live 1971" the story behind 'the story' I believe you will be even more impressed. Good day to you and blessings "Holly Holy" Then Plays It (Live 1971), "Man of God" Then Plays It (Live 2008 UK), "Cracklin' Rosie" Then Plays It (Live 1971), His Classic First Hit "Solitary Man" Then Plays It

    I love Neil Diamond from the 60's. He is such a great songwriter and singer. He was another one of those that whenever he was going to be on Ed Sullivan or Dean Martin you made sure you saw it cause you'd have to wait a while to see it again. Maybe get his live concert album "Live From The Greek" I believe it was. Great live album!Thanks for reacting to Neil!

    That song....so meaningful...is any of it worthwhile if there is no one to share it with? Loneliness...is awful. He's screaming out that he exists, but no one hears or cares for him. Such a great song...try his version from the Hot August Night album.

  • @cspringer333

    I went to the taping of the Lloyd Thaxton Show when he was in New Orleans in 1966 and I was 13. The show would travel around the country featuring an up and coming artist and have some local talent too. Neil just came out with his first hit Solitary Man, sat on a stool, and lip-synced to the recording. I don't really remember how long it took (it felt like 18 hours) but they would have to stop and reshoot over and over and over again because he was off the beat.

    Neil Diamond was known as the “Jewish Elvis”. I’ve seen both in concert numerous time....from a concert standpoint they have similarities.....the way they both commanded the stage....the passion for what they were singing.....they both had excellent singing voices....the big difference, when you were at a Diamond concert you knew he’d written about 95% of the songs he was singing so there was a deeper connection to him and his music ( listen to Neil close his show with “Hell Yeah” at his hometown arena Madison Square Garden, it will blow you away!!!!) Elvis didn’t write his songs so in a lot of instances he was singing a hit by someone else and giving you his interpretation. You made an interesting point though. The only two writer/performers who come close to Dylan’s lyrics are Paul Simon and Kris Kristofferson....listen to their stuff.....Peace.

    While Neil has a ton of commercial hits he also has great album cuts in 1970 on his Tap Root Manuscript album he had a side long suite of African (not sure which country) influenced songs This predated Paul Simon Graceland and Talking Heads Remain In Light
    This arguably is his best work The song Soolamon was a minor hit I recall hearing it on AM radio and liked it but I did not know it was a part of a suite Whether you react to this or not you owe it to yourself to hear this masterpiece This video has an intro The song begins with the rain around :45 sec mark ua-cam.com/video/yMZW6jO3y5w/v-deo.html

    That was a great concert except for two things:
    1. VERY FAKE audience applause. Sometimes they rise up and then cut-off again so fast that you can tell there's some poorly trained person with their hand on a volume knob of a canned-applause machine.
    2. Neil is STONED! That doesn't bother me because he sang so well, perhaps even because of. But he seems so WASTED during some of the between-song dialogs that's it's funny at times, but also possibly a bit embarrassing for him later on. Watch it when he speaks about people talking in French.

    Why? 100 % MY OPINION. Many might disagree. and I nay be an old jerk, and completely wrong. Because he's a songwriter, composer, orchestrator, guitar player and singer. He's not about writing disco dance music, overloud rock'n roll, or being a dancer. Some of his later studio stuff is over-produced: Coming to America, for instance, and the Barbra Streisand duet on You Don't Bring Me Flowers; they lost the intimate personal touch. But this may be the best song he wrote. And he had a long career, and a LOT of stuff to chose from.
