There’s so many singers impersonators but I haven’t heard one that can sing or imitate Neil Diamond. He’s unique, distinctive and you can feel his soul when he sings. My soul connected with him since I was a little girl. Couldn’t remember who was he, had his image in my head then I found those videos. I had no idea who Neil Diamond was until recently. Now I can’t stop listening to his songs. My forever crush.❤❤ I love him.😍
I just listened to a cover of this sound by Nick Fradiani. I thought it was close until I listened to the real Neil. This is in no way a slight to Nick. He does one of the best Neil Diamond tributes.
My very first concert ever was my mother and father taking me to see Him perform in Virginia Beach! I have never been so happy that my mother had the biggest crush on this man. It's because of that, my entire being breaks into the biggest, brightest smile anytime i hear his beautiful songs. My first 45 record that i ever owned was "Forever in blue jeans" and my own children have been brought up with the same smiles and beautiful memories that his songs bring forth. Thank You for making my life that much better. You bring smiles and comfort whenever i needed it, through your breathtaking songs. I even gave birth to my own daughter in 2000, watching the Jazz Singer before I went to work as a Mom myself. You touch generations through your songs. Thank you for making my life so much better for having your music be a part of it. You have not only touched people of Your age... But your breathtaking lyrics and heart wrenching love songs will touch the future generations to come. Humbly, I thank you. You made my childhood a very happy one.
My brother died 1981 and when I miss him I play this song it feels like he is then with me . We could listen to Neil for hours me and my brother. Still miss him very much.
Diamond told Larry King that it was probably his favorite when frustrated and afraid while auditioning for the movie Lenny who Dustin Hoffman ended up filming.
Feels like a lot of girls songs..he makes my heart swell...i remember back then how i let a true love slip away...found him yrs later he was dying with cancer..all Neil s songs touch me
Never could understand this song when i was 12 years old, but now at 58 what can i say more. Thank you Neil for this beautiful song that always makes me melt when i hear.
Love Neil Diamond, this is my favourite song of his... and those eyelashes! Beautiful he is, beautiful song, exceptional songwriter, musician, artist... one of the greatest we have ever been blessed with xx thank you, Neil Diamond, for your music & all the memories xx
I saw him perform this song at THE GREEK THEATER, August 1972, my 1st child was born Sept 1972...indeed, we both loved him perhaps in a similar way! ❤️
Omg I was only 11 when this came out. But seeing him singing this emotionally charged Masterpiece and OMG his eyes and beauty is just melting my heart! Thank you you tube! I’ll def be looking for more of his live performances. Now I have a teenage like crush on him at 63 years young. I’ve never seen such beautiful eyes and soul. God bless you Neil. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
The first verse is so true: I went from a small city to Berlin and now 20 years later I realized Berlin has never become my home, but my home has changed so much that it´s not mine anymore. Makes me feel lost much too often :(
callasmar Same here, between my hometown 25 miles (what, 8 km I think? Hour+ drive in traffic anyway) outside Portland, Oregon (USA) and now having lived in Portland proper for over a decade, and leaving my hometown 20 years ago. Seems like a small thing but it’s a world away, the small farm town and nearest big city. All my family moved out of state, all my grandparents & upper generations died aside from Dad, my mother died in 2014, so all the things I had before when I was home are gone. So even if I moved back, those changes plus the town’s own changes, what with this region’s continual massive growth, mean home is gone regardless. So I suppose it’s a common theme many of us have. Certainly those who have moved around, but maybe even those who stay put and everything changed around them. Huge changes here on the west coast of the US as expensive housing forces everyone to move around, and the people from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle all seem to escape here to Portland. Our own housing is pushing locals out to other, cheaper, places so nothing stays even remotely the same. Again, universal ideas I suppose, in many ways. As change is the only constant.
You listen to this music and the memories are all good. The times were way better than the divisive times today. Somehow, someway we need to get back to those times when politics are irrelevant in our lives.
When I was a kid my sisters were into music and they bought Hot August Night and I was completely blown away and I believe it created my love of live music. Still all these years later it is still so beautiful
Neil Diamond is one of the greats! So glad we can watch and listen to him again after all the years he's been performing! This song is one of my favorites of his many wonderful songs. He had it all- beautiful voice, beautiful face, beautiful lyrics !!!
A lot who have watched the movie 'Every Which Way But Loose' don't know he wrote the song 'I Seek The Night' for the soundtrack. It's the first song Sondra Locke sings.
That is me I am from Juarez Mexico and I’ve lived in Denver 40 years and it is still not home but neither is Juarez anymore and there is a sense of being lost
His stunningly low voice, oh so beautiful eyes and this song is so deep! What a profoundly lovely song, so moving! Oh I just fell in love with Neil Diamond!❤❤❤
I am I said , to no one there, and no one heard at all not even the chair.........I am I cried , I am said I .... this guy has always struck me as brilliant.... funny how songs have different meanings to each individual and they can mean something different at different stages in ones life..... what a career this gentleman has had .....!!
I have always had a crush on Neil. Unfortunately, years later I am still crushing. Wherever you are tonight Neil, I am sending you loads of hugs 🤗 and 😘. Cheers mate..........xxxxxxx
I saw Neil perform this song in concert shortly after I moved to a large city from a very small town in northern Iowa. I went from knowing and being known by almost everyone in my community to being utterly unknown by anyone. I've never felt so alone and insignificant and I could really identify with this song. Neil's songs are not just collections of notes and lyrics, they are short biographies.
If you haven't seen the video or heard the song yet, Check out Something Blue (2014), especially if you like puppies and dogs. Another great song. A master of his craft
I just love this song "I AM, I SAID" of Neil Diamond.. it's really a very very beautiful, touchy, meaningful song, lyrics, music and performance with his beautiful powerful rich deep soulful voice is really super.. fantastic.. mindblowin.. outstandin.. history.. brings tears into eyes.. all the best to Neil Diamond and may God bless him.. all my💘💘💘💘💘💘💘forever💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘🌹🌲🌷⚘💐🇮🇳🙏
I recently got more into Neil's music, I mean everyone's heard "Sweet Caroline".. this song though, solitary man. This talks to my soul. He is one of my heroes.
As a life long elvis lover I must confess I don’t know much about neils discography apart from the well known tracks! I must say this is outstanding absolutely brilliant and he is a really good looking bloke too not too dissimilar to elvis in 1971!
Gorgeous, this song stirs my soul. I thank you for your songs they were always echoing around our house as my Mother was a huge fan too. I went to see you in Brisbane and loved it. I will miss seeing you in concert again. I am glad we can come see you here. Sending you love from Australia and may God bless you.
Songwriting at it's best. He's saying so much with simplicity
Look how beautiful he is..
He’s drop dead gorgeous.
A perfect gorgeous moment in time preserved forever. So lovely.
Ja,er ist so ein toller,sexy Mann...und diese Stimme!Unerreicht...😘
Truly! ❤
He was pretty handsome back then !!!!!!
That's what a super Star looks like.
A humble musician who became a super star.

Das kann ich nachvollziehen , auch ich bin ein Fan von ihm , seine Lieder sind wunderschön .

Great song with a great tune. And as a totally straight man I have to say he is such a good looking man
Well said Sir,yeah he was a fine specimen of man.did you read all the women's texts?
Damn,these ladies love Neil.❤
Magnifico
Back in the time....when the world was normal
In 1971, when the Viet Nam war was raging??? That is what you are calling "normal"? It was anything BUT normal for those men in Viet Nam.
And singers could actually sing without reverb . 😊
I just finished watching 1976 concert in Australia. No phones, just pure enjoyment in the music.
Well it was jews (like he is!) that changed it from normal to the utter lunatic asylum that it is now.
you people will find any excuse to start crying
27th May 2024 and still listening, I'm 77 so it's been for many years, loved his films as well as his songs ❤❤
Today*s, singers should only have
Half the talent this DUDE had..
Classic!!!!!
Neil at his best. His voice is perfect and he is so bloody handsome ❤
Indeed! ❤️
So gorgeous!
He was a gorgeous man I can see why he had several wives…..
God! His mother must have been so proud ! Neil Diamond is phenomenal! His singing digs right into my emotions.
That voice, those eyes!
Sadly not now as he's aged like us all😮
This song is a timeless classic, no one can sing it like Neil Diamond
I've come for Neil
I know what you mean, I've tried with my voice and I can't, even do it when I'm sober😏😮👍
I know I am kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@@danielguillermo7055 try finding movie finder app it has movies and TV shows
Yea.. This should NEVER be covered.. 🙏🙏
Such a beautiful man.
No one in the world or Mars that sings better than Neil Diamond a national Treasure !!!!!!!!!!
He has the most beautiful eyes I ever seen. Just melt in his eyes. This song is sooooo beautiful as well. SIGH
The most beautiful eyes I've ever seen in my whole life ! ❤️❤️❤️
"I never cared for the sound of being alone" is just a classic lyric line.
True🙏
Amazing voice and so handsome😍❤
Super sad he's having health problems. God bless you, Neil!
Hard to believe it was 48 years ago. I was 7 at the time. I truly love this beautiful Spirit. Such a gift to us all. Thank you Neil ❤
Absolutely dear! I'm 53 and at 5 i remember loving his music then..its 2:30 am and I'm laying here, if the last sounds i hear are his id die happy
I was 30 years old sadly. I did however like Neil and his songs like you.
He’s a musical icon.
I was 13 and I loved him dearly. He was so hot and sexy and that voice!!!!
My very first concert ever was my mother and father taking me to see Him perform in Virginia Beach! I have never been so happy that my mother had the biggest crush on this man.

Neil Diamond: The best storyteller of my lifetime!
Me too... really means a lot to me that he writes his own music...best ever!
Him and Gordon Lightfoot, who we just lost. Rest in peace, Gordon. 🙏
🇺🇲 Dieses Lied von Neil Diamond höre ich sehr gerne . Es tut mir sehr leid , daß er im Alter an Parkinson leidet . 🇺🇲
My brother died 1981 and when I miss him I play this song it feels like he is then with me . We could listen to Neil for hours me and my brother. Still miss him very much.
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss.
I am terribly sorry for your loss...
Sorry for your loss hold on to all the precious memories. Prayers 🙏 ❤
one of the greatest songs of all time.
Diamond told Larry King that it was probably his favorite when frustrated and afraid while auditioning for the movie Lenny who Dustin Hoffman ended up filming.
Ed P. And the song did him much better than the role would have, career-wise.
It was the hardest song for him to make
Why bother judge when you know the answer
Agreed. And arguably the most existential.
The best song Neil has written. And he sings with great emotion, also.
❤️
Happy 80th Birthday Neil💎
still listening during this pandemic
January 23, 2021
Glad he's still listening still, too
I was born in New York, moved to New Orleans in 76, this song always felt like my story. Such an amazingly talented man, what a voice.
Hélio i am from Brazil
Feels like a lot of girls songs..he makes my heart swell...i remember back then how i let a true love slip away...found him yrs later he was dying with cancer..all Neil s songs touch me

A different "L.A'.s fine" :)
Never could understand this song when i was 12 years old, but now at 58 what can i say more. Thank you Neil for this beautiful song that always makes me melt when i hear.
Me too
Love Neil Diamond, this is my favourite song of his... and those eyelashes! Beautiful he is, beautiful song, exceptional songwriter, musician, artist... one of the greatest we have ever been blessed with xx thank you, Neil Diamond, for your music & all the memories xx
My oldest son was born in 12/1971, I remember listening to this song while in labor! Got me through it😊
I saw him perform this song at THE GREEK THEATER, August 1972, my 1st child was born Sept 1972...indeed, we both loved him perhaps in a similar way! ❤️
Omg I was only 11 when this came out. But seeing him singing this emotionally charged Masterpiece and OMG his eyes and beauty is just melting my heart! Thank you you tube!

We're the same age. 👍😊
3:29 " ..leaving me lonely still..."as he twiched his eyes with pain...I can feel the deepest feelings he is conveying. Your're a legend Neil!
Him wincing at that part always got me.
Because it was real emotion. A difficult time in his life. He himself said it takes him time to regroup after singing this song. It gets me everytime.
Simply gorgeous both man and voice
one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
America produced Jim Reeves,Elvis and Neil diamond with their wonderful voices Manly voices I should say

Fully understand that feeling
@@trevorwilliamsmacdonald1793 Me too.
Myself as well.
the immigrant first rule... you can't ever go back home
Hot! Hot! Hot! God threw the pattern away when he made this man!
He’s the most beautiful man
He is a great singer and song writer and absolutely gorgeous
he still sounds just as he did 30 years ago,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
You listen to this music and the memories are all good. The times were way better than the divisive times today. Somehow, someway we need to get back to those times when politics are irrelevant in our lives.

...can someone convey the feeling of homesickness even more emotionally, in a song...no, never...unique...great
So young and vulnerable.
Beautiful.
what a beautiful voice with a beautiful eyes
One hell of gorgeous guy , with gorgeous voice !
Very beautiful
Hi Loretta💐💐
Neil's song tells all about him. Very iconic and beautiful! 🎼🎵🎸🎤🎶
Olá i m from Brazil my name is Paul
That sounds as good as the record. A rare feat in live performance.
Beautiful song, magnificent job by all.
Neil Diamond is one of the greats! So glad we can watch and listen to him again after all the years he's been performing! This song is one of my favorites of his many wonderful songs. He had it all- beautiful voice, beautiful face, beautiful lyrics !!!
Damn! He's beautiful! Love love his voice too❤
What an introspective and passionate song, sung by a commensurate vocal icon! He has so much energy, so much emotion when he performs. 🥰
Consummate.
A lot of people I talk to still don’t know he wrote Red Red Wine and I’m a Believer as well- he wrote HITS.
A lot who have watched the movie 'Every Which Way But Loose' don't know he wrote the song 'I Seek The Night' for the soundtrack. It's the first song Sondra Locke sings.
Video looks great to be 50 years old. I've been a Neil Diamond fan about that same length of time.
One of the best song writers and singer of all time. May your music live on
I am mesmerized watching him sing.
I went to one of his concerts with my mom severalyears ago, it was great.
One if my favorite songs is Solit.
Ary man
Haw divinely beautiful he is
That is me I am from Juarez Mexico and I’ve lived in Denver 40 years and it is still not home but neither is Juarez anymore and there is a sense of being lost
Wow his eyes
He Sang .............They All Listened.
And as it happens, some of the greatest songs are half a century old
His stunningly low voice, oh so beautiful eyes and this song is so deep! What a profoundly lovely song, so moving! Oh I just fell in love with Neil Diamond!❤❤❤

He really sings with his heart. 🌹one of my favorite songs. You can feel his pain. God bless you Neil.
Best singer songwriter in the universe of all time
MY MUM HAS ALWAYS LOVED HIM... THUS, I DO... A TOTAL LEGEND! :)
Beautiful song and gorgeous man
That bass tone….. absolutely killin’
Dang, Neil was a looker. Those eyes!

I love Neil diamond in everything he does
One of the best singer of all time love it.
There is a void in man’s heart that only God can fill. “Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our lord Jesus Christ”.
Well his people literally had Christ killed and spit on Christians and Christianity (metaphorically and physically)
I just love this song "I AM, I SAID" of Neil Diamond.. it's really a very very beautiful, touchy, meaningful song, lyrics, music and performance with his beautiful powerful rich deep soulful voice is really super.. fantastic.. mindblowin.. outstandin.. history.. brings tears into eyes.. all the best to Neil Diamond and may God bless him.. all my💘💘💘💘💘💘💘forever💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘🌹🌲🌷⚘💐🇮🇳🙏
Masterpiece, and a great performance.
Song spoke to me as a teenager in '71. And still does.
Never gets old.
l will always love you, Neil. Your music has been in my life for 47 years. A lot of happy memories...can't imagine my life without you.
Fabulous voice, and those eyes.....gorgeous
A music genius. Sad for the 131 people that gave thumbs down.....sad sad people.
One of the great wordsmiths of our time.
"Leaving me lonely still..." - Preach the word, Neil.
The only artist in the same league as Elvis.The greek Elvis.This is Neil Diamond.
Lord today’s music absolutely sucks! This confirms that ! Brilliant
amen
i agree amen thank you
I think finally this man is being given the credit he deserves, now in 2022. Godspeed to Neil as he fights for his health!!
Oh, no--is he ill?
I recently got more into Neil's music, I mean everyone's heard "Sweet Caroline".. this song though, solitary man. This talks to my soul. He is one of my heroes.
Brilliant ! Thanks Neil 🎵🎵 We Miss You 💫 September 2024 ❤
Listening to my favorite song and singer over and over ….
Thank you Neil Diamond ❤
I fell in love with Neil at 7 years old. Ok
As a life long elvis lover I must confess I don’t know much about neils discography apart from the well known tracks! I must say this is outstanding absolutely brilliant and he is a really good looking bloke too not too dissimilar to elvis in 1971!
True has i say both go head too head love them both fan from england sinse a child time waits for know one some just dont get,it,
❤👍❤❤❤👀👑👑👑
Such depth of feelings... BRAVO!!
O fato de estar vivo, nós dá o privilégio de estar aqui, hj... assistindo este show...Neil ☺️
É simplesmente linda! ❤👏😍✨
Well said in any language.
1971 I travelled to Manchester with my sister and 2 friends age 14 to see Neil at the odeon...seen him many times since but that was the best❤
Gorgeous, this song stirs my soul. I thank you for your songs they were always echoing around our house as my Mother was a huge fan too. I went to see you in Brisbane and loved it. I will miss seeing you in concert again. I am glad we can come see you here. Sending you love from Australia and may God bless you.
Just became reunited with this song. My son's girlfriend let me play DJ Christmas night at her house and she had this on vinyl. She's a good gal.
Got to be one of the great existential angst tunes.
