Not anyone can perform live backed up by such fabulous and first class orchestra...! Maybe Sinatra and legends like him. Neil Diamond ranks way up high on the chart of the greatest American singers and composers.
Thanks for responding! I would live to hear of more live recordings later in life where he really lets his voice go. If you know of any pls let me know :) best to u!
I just saw Neil Diamond in concert at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Ct for his 50th anniversary Tour. I must say, he can put on a dam good show. At 74 years old he sounded just he was singing in his 20's. He still is very talented and still can touch audiences wirh his songs. I only wish i saw him sooner when he was touring because he is still so charming and handsome. Cheryl M.
Just love ‘Desiree’ composed and sung by Neil. Thank you so much ‘Halts-Maul-‘ for posting these passionate and heartwarming lyrics! Neil is so young and sexy here. Thank you ‘MrSnookies’ for this great video!!! 🥰👍☺️
What a beautiful song my grandaughter Faithe who just turned 18 loves it and sings it she says it just sticks in her head and she loves Neil Diamond also Tks Neil for such a beautiful rendition
Everything out of his mouth in the form of a song is perfection. The orchestra that surrounds him is beautiful. It just makes his songs. How I love his music. This old man can belt em❣️I can call him an old man because I’m a year older than him. The beat of his songs just make my day❣️
Only Niel could write a song about losing his virginity. Must have been something . He still loves her. ❤️ . Again thanks. Mickie Michele in California still 3 chord crazy
Been thinking. This is a pretty powerful subject. How can you put this picture in all our womans minds? Pure genius. I guess. 😮 Mickie Michele in California still 3 chord crazy
@tenniscollector You got that right! What an inspiration we had with musical geniuses from that era. As a kid learning guitar listening to Neil Diamond songs made me wonder how these people could use the same chords over and over and make completely different songs from it. These guys were bigger than life as they belted out their legendary tunes. This Was simply WORLD CLASS TALENT not like the talent mocking buffoonery you see today!
In Seattle he did this song a half dozen times and was ready to move on when a guy called out “one more time”. Neil said “Reinnie, the man says do it again” so they did.
I remember seeing this on tv...I was 8 and already a huge Neil Diamond fan. Many years have gone by and I'm still a fan, many thanx to the person who uploaded this, wish I had the whole thing availible to see...
Wow, Neil's best song, IMHO, and never saw this powerful concert performance of it before now. Which television show was it on? I don't know why he gave that intro to it, though, as I can't imagine another artist "borrowing" this tune, given its extremely personal nature, i.e. Neil's first love (much older Black gal - guess we would call her a "cougar" today 😉) while growing up in NYC (Harlem?). B/c of that background, he truly sings it from the heart 💗.
It was the third of June On that summer's day When I became a man At the hands of a girl Almost twice my age And she came to me Just like a morning sun And it wasn't so much Her words as such As the way they were sung It was the way they were sung Desiree Oh, Desiree There I was found By the sweet passion sound Of your loving song Time was right, the night was long Remember, Desiree Oh, Desiree Somehow I knew I could only have you 'Til the morning light If only for that single night Sweet Desiree, you make it right Then came the fourth of June On that sleepless night Well I tossed and I turned While the thought of her burned Up and down my mind For she was there and gone Without one regret But she continues on Like the words of a song I could not forget I could not forget Desiree Oh, Desiree There I was found By the sweet passion sound Of your loving song Time was right, the night was long Remember, Desiree Oh, Desiree And though somehow I knew I could only have you 'Til the morning light The night was long, the time was right Do you remember Desiree What Desiree Do you remember Desiree What Desiree Do you remember Desiree Desiree
The man! I have been a fan since 1965 or so. My sister brought home his album with Cherry Cherry on it and I was hooked. I just wish I could see him live but the tickets are way too expensive..
So profoundly sorry you lost your baby girl....because children are always children to their parents. I lost my Mother when I was 45. I soooo miss her. She was my best female friend...nothing can break that bond between Mother and Daughter. Not even death. We will, one glorious day, be reunited. Cheri B.
I was named after this song and Caroline is my middle name it sounds eerie when you hear someone singing ur name in such romanic manner CHILLS!!! but it is a great song!
No lip synching, autotune or band in a box here...just genuine TALENT.

So true ...
Neil Diamond is an American Icon.
The orchestras he uses are the best.
A First Class Showman
Neil Diamond is in a class all by himself
In the 70,s I fell in love this song, it still plays.
no matter what song this man has sang they are all terrific.
Desiree es una de mis canciones favoritas de Neil Diamond, es increíble, aparte de su incomparable voz y muchas canciones más.
Greatest performer I’ve ever witnessed, full orchestra 👏👏👏
The Man's stage presence just blows me away! His singing, his playing, his writing are a given and excellent. Neil owns the stage.
When I saw him in Melbourne Australia 20 years ago his voice almost shook the whole stadium. When he doesn't hold back, its unbelieavably powerful.
Exactly, @P Ka! Exactly and perfectly described. I've witnessed it too. One of life's best moments!

@@mackan3143his a jew
Remeber this song when I was about six or seven years old. No one makes music like this anymore AWESOME! Real music
and unmodified singing!
This is when music was great... I miss this time of music. I enjoy it even more being 50. More than ever..
I always liked this version from the TV programme the best!
Hard not being seduced by this mans undenying handsomeness, presence and talent
This is a fantastic version of this song.
I Love Neil And Forever Always Will ...
He changed the words "a woman half my age" though.
My song! You don't see/hear it often. Thanks for posting this!
Oh my ... what a voice, what a song ..... goosebumps all over listening to this man sing.

Seine Stimme gefällt mir! Man erkennt sie unter hunderten von SoloStimmen heraus !
I like this song. It is one of my many favorites by Neil Diamond.

I hope he's in some sort of Hall of Fame. Singer. Songwriter. Legend. Epic.
RodCornholio, Songwriters and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame. Deservedly so!
he is in several HOF
He changed the lyrics at the beginning of the song about a woman almost twice his age... Anyone else notice
Yes, but can’t catch the wise old sage but?
I got this on vhs I'm glad your here with me tonight concert and for this TH-cam video it was edited out for some reason.
In Seattle he did this song a half dozen times and was ready to move on when a guy called out “one more time”. Neil said “Reinnie, the man says do it again” so they did.
@@Iridium43Reinie is my favorite bass player of all time.
Yes but I wondered if it was too risqué at the time for TV
What a Legend. Neil at the peak of his powers here. record breaking concert tours and great music.
Colnago Dreamgeo Peak? He's still climbing that mountain.Still relevant,still cranking out songs...playing sold out concerts...
I remember seeing this on tv...I was 8 and already a huge Neil Diamond fan. Many years have gone by and I'm still a fan, many thanx to the person who uploaded this, wish I had the whole thing availible to see...

It was the third of June
On that summer's day
When I became a man
At the hands of a girl
Almost twice my age
And she came to me
Just like a morning sun
And it wasn't so much
Her words as such
As the way they were sung
It was the way they were sung
Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, Desiree
Oh, Desiree
Somehow I knew
I could only have you
'Til the morning light
If only for that single night
Sweet Desiree, you make it right
Then came the fourth of June
On that sleepless night
Well I tossed and I turned
While the thought of her burned
Up and down my mind
For she was there and gone
Without one regret
But she continues on
Like the words of a song
I could not forget
I could not forget
Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
Remember, Desiree
Oh, Desiree
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you
'Til the morning light
The night was long, the time was right
Do you remember Desiree What Desiree
Do you remember Desiree What Desiree
Do you remember Desiree Desiree
best male vocalist south africa
