    NO ONE can ever top Neil Diamond. The genius who writes and sings masterpieces. I'm writing this 3-15-2024. Neil Diamond has been in my life since I was 17 and first heard "Solitary Man." I'm 72 now and Neil Diamond is 83! I've grown up with his music. He's my life! I love him and always will. 🍀🌺💎❤️‍🔥⭐❤️🎼🎶🎵🫂🌹💋

      É, pessoal...Neil fez uma construção de vida pessoal e profissional se tornarem um só projeto verdadeiro . Projeto este que nos cativou com amor e respeito sem vulgaridade. Seus depoimentos nos tornam próximos no sentido de sermos seres humanos ... é como se Neil nos esclarecesse que ele também é como nós , mas a questão é : a magnitude e a dedicação em suas obras . Aí sim ! Neste quesito não há ninguém igual a vc Neil !!!! Aceite nosso amor e carinho como forma de gratidão, querido Neil !!!!Vc é o tipo de ser que não temos receio de apresentar a quem amamos muito! Estou aqui te assistindo em um vídeo e vez ou outra minha filha se aproxima e curte também. Ela sabe quem é vc através da história de dezenas de anos atrás... Isso é sublime. Gratidão por tudo!!!! Deus te abençoe sempre!!!❤❤❤

      Our story is very much the same. I saw Neil in Calgary 1969, again and then in 1986(?) and finally in Seattle.
      His songs are so resonate in what they say and how my body reacts to his voice. My kids and grandchildren all appreciate his music.
      I took a friend to the Seattle concert; he was a massive fan but hadn’t the opportunity to see Neil in person. Watching him enjoy it brought me even more joy. April, 2024

    No wonder we all had a crush on this guy who we knew was a deep-feeling poet and musical genius, who had the most unique voice that could never be replicated, who was able to express his feelings and our lives through his words and that voice. Plus the man himself. Just one huge, gorgeous, package that we knew, thankfully was here to stay - forever. How appropriate that Neil is a Diamond. Love him always.

Three years later I was diagnosed with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. I feel that the stress contributed to my illness. Now a day never goes by when I don’t watch you and the emotion that comes from your songs help me each day. Thank you so much for the joy you have given me. I’m sorry but I can’t get rid of end.

      He sounded his absolute best here. His voice was really powerful and expressive. I always thought of him primarily as a songwriter, but his vocals on all the songs at the BBC show are extraordinary. Also, he was still sorta shy at this point, which is totally charming, yet his wit and humor comes through. I really picked up on an intellectual vibe. How cool it would have been to be able to sit and just chat with him back then!

      I remember when he first came out. I was a choreographer so very tuned into music. Always looking for something to grab me, then was playing cassette tapes, so no visual of him then... I remember thinking,, "Who IS THIS GUY!?!!". HE IS PHENOMENAL. THIS GUTTERAL SOUND THAT GOES TO THE DEPTHS OF YOUR SOUL!!!😂 REALLY REACHES...!
      This was in the 60's. I thought I was the only one that REALLY appreciated him.. And little did I know how visually beautiful he was! He's the only one able to sing his story songs. And so many people felt what I was feeling...
      I'm in my 80's now and still have this lifelong "crush" on him...the greatest composer, storyteller singer,
      Musical evangelist of the century!

    I saw Neal in concert 15 to 20 times. I've never thought much about celebrities or meeting them except for him. His music was so deep and heartfelt that he is the only person or celebrity that I ever wanted to meet in my life. I grew up on his music and still listen to it all the time

    I saw him at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta 1976. 2 hrs 20 mins. He never spoke one word. Zero. Deadly serious. To this day the greatest musical experience of my life. We walked out onto Peachtree St. Stunned. Speechless

      Every single concert I went to he came on and didn’t leave the stage until the end. His stamina was amazing.
      It was devastating to learn of his Parkinson’s diagnosis. was cruel as it effects the vocal chords.

      10 years younger.heard Neil Diamond for the first time in the late 80's. This is my fall back. What A Voice. Why did I not hear of him for 15 years because this is so much better than the late 80's. Once again what A Voice. No filters just a voice from 1971. Seriously under appreciated. For me it doesn't get any better. Thank you Neil Diamond. Would have loved to see you live.

    I grew up admiring Neil Diamond back in mid 60’s when working in Glasgow when I was a teenager. Loved his style, music and voice. Recall and loved when he wrote the soundtrack for movie Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, loved the music and the movie.
    Have been a fan all my life and saw him live at two concerts in Auckland NZ, and booked to see him about 3 years ago which was cancelled because of pandemic.
    So many wonderful concerts available on TH-cam, watching this 1971 concert in Kunming, China - fabulous!
