Have been to many Neil Diamond concerts! Three hours of pure Heaven,no opening acts,no intermissions. Nobody sits…everybody sings along with his music.,.knowing every word! He is the Master!
Many have tried to perfect imitating his voice….nobody has done it! He has many impersonators,but NOBODY sings like Neil Diamond!🔥❤️💎
He wrote I'm a Believer in the 60s and gave it to The Monkees.
Neil is a gem.
Yes!
Freedom’s light burning warm refers to the Statue of Liberty. Neil wrote this song for his grandma who came to America by boat when she was 11 years old. Neil has performed America at the White House and on Ellis Island by the Statue of Liberty on the Fourth of July!
Please go down the Neil Diamond rabbit hole! Some of my favorites of his are Love On the Rocks, America, I Am...I Said, Hello Again, Cracklin' Rosie, Forever In Blue Jeans, September Morn, Sweet Caroline, and of course You Don't Bring Me Flowers (duet with Barbra Streisand).
You should do more Neil Diamond reactions. His last album, "Melody Road," I believe came out in 2016. He is such an awesome song writer and storyteller.
The greatest live performer I have ever seen! My parents took me to my first show when I was six. The lights suddenly go out, the stage filled with fog and blue lights, Music starts building, laser lights shoot all over the place. Music gets louder…band is on fire…crowd is losing their minds. A loud voice comes over the sound system “Ladies and gentlemen…Neil Diamond!” This man walks through the smoke and lasers…dressed in black…arm pumped in the air and the crowd literally gave him a standing ovation before he even sang a note. After that show, I made my parents take me again anytime he came near our house…a tradition I continued into adulthood until Neil retired from Parkinson’s disease in 2018. By that time, three generations of my family had attended a Neil Diamond concert!
I’m was four or five and I know it’s something I remember our parents really gave us a gift!!! We were so lucky! I took my brother my super Neil fan mom to see him in early 2000’s one of the highlight concerts! His love of performance is unequivocal!
I first saw him when young too and had such an awesome time, I went every time he came to my city. So sad Parkinson's forced him to stop performing, but old age comes for everyone unfortunately. He made so many people happy
Neil’s concerts are three hours,no opening acts,no intermissions…he is the Master!
Welcome to the Neil Diamond rabbit hole! As you can see, he has a huge, enthusiastic fan base. He started out as a songwriter, churning out hit songs for other artists before finally recording his music for himself. That was in the mid sixties and he’s been popular ever since. His lyrics and music are top notch, whatever style he chooses. You commented on his voice, which is distinctive and amazing and honestly I think it sounded tired and weak in this video, especially at the beginning. It may have been toward the end of the concert but if the concert itself was in 2008 (when the video was posted) he would have been 67 years old. He’s 82 now. He had to stop touring in 2018 after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Oh, and he’s a great performer, as you’ve just seen.
You were right about “I’m a Believer” being in the movie Shrek. It was also a big hit for The Monkees in the sixties. (The Monkees was a sitcom about a band. The actors chosen for the show turned out to be good musicians and they had quite a few hits. You’d probably enjoy watching an episode.) “America” was written for the final scene of Neil’s 1980 remake of the movie The Jazz Singer. And yeah, it’s a great song. His grandparents were all immigrants so he appreciates what America has meant to countless people over the years. The song is very popular, especially on July 4.
Highly Recommend his movie: The Jazz Singer. Excellent movie and equally excellent soundtrack!
One of my favorite movies as a kid!!!
One of the greatest singer-songwriters ever, who sold 130 million albums worldwide, but also a dynamic, charismatic performer, breaking attendance records wherever he performed. He was known for doing long and generous concerts. You can't but smile when watching him perform and the audience having fun. The second song is I'm a Believer, the biggest hit in 1966 by The Monkees, but Neil Diamond wrote the song. The third song is very personal to Neil because both his maternal and paternal grandparents immigrated to the USA. Hope you will dig deeper into Neil Diamond's catalogue, he's sensational.
Many have tried to impersonate Neil…nobody has..,nobody can! Neil’s voice is like no other. Like velvet…with a little grit!🔥❤️💎
Back in the 80s a friend twisted my arm to attend a ND concert. I was not enthused. LOL. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. He is an amazing entertainer.
Everybody’s on their feet,singing and clapping and dancing to every song!
Neil wrote America for his grandmother who came to America by boat when she was only 11 years old!
Neil has performed this song at the White House on the Fourth of July as well as on Ellis Island by the Statue of Liberty!🔥❤️💎
Have been to every Chicago concert. Saw his 50th Anniversary Concert before it was cut short to his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease! He is a legend!🔥❤️💎
Went to his 50th Anniversary concert which was cut short due to his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Second year of Broadway play telling his life story!
Neil Diamond is 82 years old this year, still preforming I think. Increditable carrier.
He had to stop touring in 2018 after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He made a surprise appearance at the debut of the Broadway musical Beautiful Noise, where he sang one song. That was in December of 2022, if I remember correctly.
He did have an incredible career, didn’t he? I can’t even imagine how many people he entertained at his concerts over the years, not to mention all those who enjoyed his music on the radio, 45s, LPs, 8-track tapes, cassette tapes, CDs, iPods, Pandora, UA-cam, . . .
Saw him twice. Awesome. I always wore blue jeans so I thought he wrote that for me. 😂 I used to do exercises to America. ❤❤❤❤❤
Listen to Sweet Caroline...it's awesome. Neil sings it too. You'll love it.
This brought a tear to my eye. This is my brother's karaoke song. There is a great video of him singing this on you tube! I played it on his memory video at his funeral. God I miss him. Gone at 45, too young, so much more time left for Forever in blue jeans karaoke 😢
One of my favorite singer songwriters spanning many decades. I had so many of his records. He had tons of hit songs. "I Am, I Said", "Sweet Caroline", "Cracklin' Rosie", "Cherry, Cherry", "Kentucky Woman", "Red Red Wine", "Solitary Man", "Shiloh", "Holly Holy", "Song Sung Blue", "Longfellow Serenade", "Desirée", "You Don't Bring Me Flowers". He wrote the song "I'm A Believer" which became a big hit for the Monkees in 1966. I was privileged to see him in concert twice. He was a great showman & his live performances were memorable.
do not forget Brother Loves Travelling Salvation Show!
❤
This song is in Shrek. It was written by Neil Diamond.
Hi dude great review. But he was at his peak in the 70s in his 30s. Maybe can you review some of his live shows from that era? You’d be v impressed
He wrote Red Red Wine that was covered by UB-40
Neil wrote I’m A Believer for the Monkees.
His concerts were so good. Non stop for over 2 hours
"America" is from the movie, The Jazz Singer. Excellent movie! If you get the chance, watch it.
Coming to America is about immigration . Got the idea regarding his family's immigration to the US.
Neil wrote I’m a Believer for the Monkees!
That team it’s hyping is the country. ✊️
I'm a Believer was a song he wrote for the Monkey's in the 60's
Neil wrote I’m a believer but several artists and groups have covered it over the years. But yeah Shrek was the latest.
I am ,I said or Cracklin Rose
as said below. this was a monkees song. waaay before your time. but at least you knew it.
He was known as "The Jewish Elvis".......Peace!
Neil is Jewish and his parents are immigrants from Poland.
What you are hearing is an actual LIVE performance. He was simply a bit out of breath when the song began.
Neil was always demonized in the music critics as being “Difficult and Demanding”. To usFans, he was Perfection thus, was the rumors a bad thing?
Greg….You’ve got to got to Church with: Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show!
I wish some Americans would listen to the words of the song " Coming to America" and feel a little bit more empathy for migrants.
Name is Neil Diamond NOT O'Neil.
