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.
This is MUSIC! There's no lip-syncing , no dance routines , no ridiculous costumes or props. Just a man with a guitar , a backing band and some great tunes. These really were the good old days.
Sir, my Wife I saw him in Auburn Hills at the old Old Station just after the Tower's came down. His first song Coming to America. Neil had said similar, Let's enjoy ourselves this Evening, etc., etc. ❤
@@davegauvin7234 My wife is a huge Neil Diamond fan. More even than myself and we've seen him many times since the early '80s. We actually got to meet him once. He's a very humble, genuine guy.
Yeah, I'm gonna be 65 this summer. Good times ... way back when .... So many GREATS we've lost along the way. Too many to list. We have LIVED THROUGH THE BEST of times!! 😎
I went to Europe for the first time in my life in 1972. Celebrated my 21st birthday on that trip. I remember this song so well! I worked full time and went to college full time took me 5 yrs to graduate! The emotions he expresses in his songs were in me all the time!
Cómo es posible que este video no tenga millones de visitas? En cada canción se entrega y muestra toda su emoción, tan honestamente. Un privilegio verlo, pues yo nací ese año y conocí su música 10 años después. La dirección y la orquesta también fabulosos. Gracias por compartir, y que este hermoso hombre, esté feliz siempre y en paz, a pesar de su enfermedad. Lo merece por entregar tanta alegría y belleza al mundo, mi más sincero abrazo a todos sus fans, con mucho amor desde Chile. 🇨🇱 💗 🎶
Neil Diamond 💎 is a star that fell from the sky ✨️ to brighten up our an often times dismal world...he taught us its okay to tap into our emotions...a phenomenal sweet gentleman amongst gentlemen...a rare unique talent..singer songwriter performer undeniable no one can compare to..an inspiration who lifts us up into higher consciousness...I sing with him and I'm OK again... I'm self taught pianists and guitar these days especially we need to keep Neil Diamond 💎 ✨️ in infinity. Thank you Neil Diamond 💎.....🎉
From ‘60’s TV, to High Fi’s, stereos, 8 tracks, to CD’s, to U-tube, thank Goodness this treasure is still available. He is as relevant today as yesterday! The world is a better place because of Neil Diamond. God be with you all in today’s harrowing times!
I am hooked to this 1971 concert..he is only 30 yrs old,,young,good looking,,great baritone..youtube thank you for the archive..God bless ND..it's 2022now
I am 67 years old and I will send this to my 66-year-old brother so that the years will hopefully melt away for him as well. "Belinda was mine..." OMG, oh my God...
30 years old here and not even at the top--YET. Voice like gravel, wrapped in velvet, and covered with honey. Love that we have this record of his awesome talent.
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 was too young to appreciate the magic of Neil Diamond, but his music was a staple in my home growing up(my mom loved him) but oh wow, I sure get that magic now. What a legendary singer, songwriter, performer.
It's so great to hear about his personal experiences/stories, in reference to his song lyrics. What a gift he gave and continues to give to this world. Grateful always.
beautiful face and songs from the 30 year old Neil . i was also 30, and 50 years later i can still feel the emotion in his velvety voice.... and so many thanks to Stanley Dorfman director of In Concert, and his bbc cameraman Ron Peverall , for his close ups of Neils eyelashes! to die for!
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! The Angels gave us the gift of Neil Diamond.
I remember watching this live when I was 13 years old and I was hooked. I would save my pocket money to buy Neil Diamond records and I am still listening to them 50 years later. What a performer and musical genius.
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.
Das waren noch Zeiten, da war Musik noch Musik, ohne Schnickschnack... Und was für ein Mann❤, diese Stimme... Jedes seiner Lieder ist einfach nur fantastisch... Ich liebe ihn einfach. The one and only❤
So vibrant and intense. 50+ years seems like only yesterday. If we could only stay like this forever. You can tell he loves performing and pleasing his fans. Thanks for all of the years you have us!
Labas.Thank God for giving human's knowledge to figure things out and discover all of these mysterious treasures in the world. Who would have thought 20 or more years ago that you and I would be watching a human sing about life so well that anyone around the world with knowledge can also listen to the music at the touch of a few buttons. Thank God, I understand English and can feel what is being described. Language is only thing that mixes creatures up. You say Shalom, and I wonder if you are saying hello or goodbye.
@@robertreaid6951 its musik and lyriks of the heart, written 50 years ago - but still gives the same feeling now as 50 years ago in Chicago: sailing through heaven
In the good times, the sad times, the hard times and the times of rejoicing this man's music got me through so much. Now as we both are in our twilight years he is still 'getting me through'. Thank you, Neil, I am beyond grateful. God Bless You.
. . . Hello Chrissi , For myself, and I am certain, for so very, very many more … “Getting Through” … is the very least of it. In the ‘cold light of day’, simply put; “ Music is the best friend you can have “ and perhaps, our - o n l y true friend. A l l ‘ t h i n g s ‘ . . . c o n s i d e r e d . Many were the times when Neil and his music was the ‘ s a f e s t p l a c e ‘ to be . Be well .
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.
Definitely agree - best version ever! Band is great too. He puts so much into performing Holly Holy he seems to need to recover at the end. Love it - and him!!
This is the Neil Diamond version of the 1968 Elvis Comeback Special. Just dynamic, showing Neil like we had never seen him before and have never seen him this way since. Brilliant video.
Watching this amazing TV Special makes you regret even more that the Hot August Night concerts were not videotaped. He was really brilliant then, wasn't he?
First saw this on BBC 2 in concert 1971.saw him live in 6 concerts over the years.In my opinion the greatest singer/song writer ever,he writes from the heart ,that's where his songs come from...magnificent.
Heard of Neil Diamond years ago, listened & thought, ok, not that bad, nothing really that special perhaps?, whats the fuss about? Then, I heard his songs more than 10 years later and I gradually, slowly, realised, wow, this guy has a really (god given?) amazing talent...what a voice, the feeling behind each and every song , beautiful.. what an amazing force.
Neil sings with such expressions and conviction even at the early stages of his career. A born superstar!!!!! His music will never fade. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for enriching our lives with his mesmerizing, magical music.
I enjoy watching and listening with your song Neil diamond,,sad it's only now I discovered your songs and voice it's so lovely and amazing voice,,bravo,, GOD ♥️ bless you sir
When I watch you Neil I am reminded of a love affair I had fifty years ago for three years then my boyfriend said that he had never loved me. My heart was broken and it never mended. 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. I feel for you having Parkinson’s disease and I care deeply.iend
He sang with emotion and love in his voice. I just love him for all he accomplished in life. God bless you Neil Diamond. You captured many hearts ❤️ 💕🫶🏻. So humble and kind.
Perfection! A voice and talent that couldn’t be copied! And 50 years later the magic continued until life handed him a cruel blow! Thank you for touching our hearts and souls! God Bless!
Brilliant performance. As big as he is, he has always been slightly underrated because of his huge commercial success. A great songwriter - and a great singer.
This is my favorite concert tape of Neil Diamond. He was so young and beautiful. I'm 73 now and I have fallen in love again with this irreplaceable talented man whom I know not if he is even still with us. I can't believe at my age falling in love with a dead man.
It was just a few months after this performance that I saw Neil in concert for the first time and 33 times after that. Here I am, 52 years later and love him and his music as much as ever if not more. Be well, Mr. D!! You are loved by many💎💎❤

Neil 노래를 접한지가 반세기가 되어가네요 고등학교 때 친구집에 놀러갔는데 안방에서 흘러나오는 Play me 처음 들었을 때 얼마나 가슴에 와 닿는지 지금도 잊지 못한답니다 그후 Neil 노래에 흥취되어 지금까지 즐겨 듣고 있답니다 오늘밤 Neil 동영상을 보면서 댓글을 달수있는 기쁨을 주셔서 대단히 갑사드립니다^^💕😊
My mom has always been a big fan of his. I played this performance for her on my big screen TV, and she just sat there with her mouth hanging open. Yeah mom, as an adult I get it now too!
What Priceless footage - This was back in the days where the BBC were ground breaking, hosting international would be stars. Thanks for sharing, Happy memories.
Used to love his music so when a documentary came on tv I watched it. Shocked at how utterly gorgeous he was, how could I not know! Just beautiful. And his voice..!
That last song put shivers up my spine . What an absolute masterpiece of a song, the lyrics are so so brilliant. This turned me into a Neil Diamond fan instantly and have been for 50 years
I feel privileged to b able to say I saw him twelve times live! He is really a very rare gem-just like a diamond! God bless you Neil for your gorgeous voice, music and all of my wonderful memories of seeing you in concert.
he was smiling a lot and joking in this video, completely confident and holding his own. Not so melancholy as a lot of his songs were. He shows a lot of drama in his songs I guess he could have been a great ACTOR.

My favourite year in music 😊
Ĺlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp
Agreed, agreed, agreed!! A wonderful voice for a great time in music!!
This man puts 99% of modern singers to shame. He was fabulous and I too had a huge crush on him.❤😅
Not only is his singing voice wonderful, his speaking voice just makes me melt...divine❤❤❤
This is MUSIC! There's no lip-syncing , no dance routines , no ridiculous costumes or props. Just a man with a guitar , a backing band and some great tunes. These really were the good old days.
Sir, my Wife I saw him in Auburn Hills at the old Old Station just after the Tower's came down.
His first song Coming to America. Neil had said similar, Let's enjoy ourselves this Evening, etc., etc. ❤

I don't see a band, but he is singing live to a recorded music track
I'm 69 years old and been a loyal fan of Neil's since I was a 15 year old. His voice is the best
I'm 67 and know the feeling
I feel for the kids today they will never have MUSIC like this. I am very thankful I did.
Yeah, I'm gonna be 65 this summer.
Good times ... way back when ....
So many GREATS we've lost along the way.
Too many to list.
We have LIVED THROUGH THE BEST of times!!
😎
Those eyes! Thank you cameraman and director ❤
Look at that beautiful hair and that sweet innocent face singing with such conviction in every word.
I posted this file for my dear brother Tim to listen to just before he passed away. I loved him so much.
Amen
What an inspired choice. I would choose that soundtrack as I’d journey back to the years when I first heard a song or went to a concert.
God bless you and your brother.
.....🙌
We will never again in this life see anything like this. I thank GOD I was there!!!
You where very lucky 🙏🥲
No gimmicks, dance routines, just a man with a guitar and a bit of back up. Love him.
I went to Europe for the first time in my life in 1972. Celebrated my 21st birthday on that trip. I remember this song so well! I worked full time and went to college full time took me 5 yrs to graduate! The emotions he expresses in his songs were in me all the time!
Just enough
Its called elite talent, he needs nothing else.

Oh to just be able to softly kiss those lips even once.

Gosh he was gorgeous and 40 + yrs later and he’s still gorgeous. Wow ❤️
and then in 76, super sexy.
I wouldn't say "no" on a Hot August Night.
So gorgeous!
The best kind of man. Simple, humble, visceral. OMGoodness!!! Takes my breath away.❤
How very beautiful. Neil is one of the greatest singer songwriters ever. I will be listening until the day I die. God bless you Neil.🙏🌹♥️
MAJOR props to the brilliant BBC audio and video engineers. This looks (and sounds) like it could have been recorded just a few years ago.
People of who have never seen this guy live, will never understand how talented he is. Neil’s music has been a blessing in my life.
A fantastic legend in his own time!!! Loved you then and love you now!!❤❤❤❤❤
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

It was devastating to learn of his Parkinson’s diagnosis. was cruel as it effects the vocal chords.
Best rendition of Holly Holy, love those drums at the end. So good I nearly forget how sensual that man is.
Very deep emotion in all his songs
I also love when the tympani starts in.
Definitely agree - best version ever! Band is great too. He puts so much into performing Holly Holy he seems to need to recover at the end. Love it - and him!!
Man! What a voice....like a warm blanket on a cold night! You Rock Neil!

He sang with emotion and love in his voice. I just love him for all he accomplished in life. God bless you Neil Diamond. You captured many hearts ❤️ 💕🫶🏻. So humble and kind.
Agree
My God i was 6 years old when this beautiful song came to my childhood from this great golden singer made by God.
The HAIR... my god this man is attractive.. I've loved Neil Diamond my whole life.
Perfection! A voice and talent that couldn’t be copied! And 50 years later the magic continued until life handed him a cruel blow!
Thank you for touching our hearts and souls! God Bless!
Fully agree!
Amen
Know matter how many times I listen to his songs, it’s like the first time ❤️❤️
I feel exactly the same way Marcia,I play Neil,s music almost every day ,and it does feel as though I,m hearing it for the first time.pure class.
I could sit and look at this man and never get tired . Such a great looking guy super talented. Love you Neil . You’re the best .💎❤️🍷
Fully agree♥️
I one hundred percent agree!!!
I saw Neil in concert at Blossom music center in the 80's when the full moon came up behind the stage. The crowd went wild! Truly a great show!
Saw Neil at Tacoma Dome WA. late 70's
I think I was there too
Brilliant performance. As big as he is, he has always been slightly underrated because of his huge commercial success. A great songwriter - and a great singer.
I love all his songs but "I Am I Said" is my very favorite. It draws me so completely in.
I've been there.
I Love this gem of a performance! Such great sound and video for 1971. Flawless Neil.
The BBC did just about everything perfectly.
This is my favorite concert tape of Neil Diamond. He was so young and beautiful. I'm 73 now and I have fallen in love again with this irreplaceable talented man whom I know not if he is even still with us. I can't believe at my age falling in love with a dead man.
As I listen to these songs, I am transported back to age 15 and playing Neil Diamond on my transitor radio. Thanks for the memories.
Sooooo good looking, young and so vulnerable with his songs and singing.
My 15/16 year old crush on this “older” man 😍
Still my 68 year old crush.
Me too
It was just a few months after this performance that I saw Neil in concert for the first time and 33 times after that. Here I am, 52 years later and love him and his music as much as ever if not more. Be well, Mr. D!! You are loved by many💎💎❤

Neil 노래를 접한지가 반세기가 되어가네요
고등학교 때 친구집에 놀러갔는데 안방에서
흘러나오는 Play me 처음 들었을 때 얼마나
가슴에 와 닿는지 지금도 잊지 못한답니다
그후 Neil 노래에 흥취되어 지금까지 즐겨 듣고
있답니다
오늘밤 Neil 동영상을 보면서 댓글을 달수있는
기쁨을 주셔서 대단히 갑사드립니다^^💕😊
He was brilliant, here. Love this concert! 🤩
I remember watching this when it was first broadcast. He was a revelation. My Mum fell in love with him instantly!!
He has the best smile.
He sure has😍
One of my favorite concerts. Nearly 50 years ago 💕💕
Neil is a terrific rhythm guitar player, as this show proves.
Love his music. So much feeling in his music. I love just listening to the words. That man can write music.
Yes great feeling
This is gods gift to the world! The world loves him
My mom has always been a big fan of his. I played this performance for her on my big screen TV, and she just sat there with her mouth hanging open. Yeah mom, as an adult I get it now too!
Bello,, simplemente bello Dios lo creó con todos los atributos de cantante y físico atrayente wow
Nice to hear the background of these songs. It appears as though Brother Love’s Revival had a major influence on his stage performance 🥰✋💥👀🐒🎯🇺🇸😎
L.E.G.E.N.D 🎸🔊 🙏
Neil's stage presence not to mention his VOICE really does wonderful things ❤️ to me --since his first recording until now& forever!!!!

Great performance....he sung this song with his heart on it...perfect to the letter....luv ya ND..
What Priceless footage - This was back in the days where the BBC were ground breaking, hosting international would be stars. Thanks for sharing, Happy memories.
Used to love his music so when a documentary came on tv I watched it. Shocked at how utterly gorgeous he was, how could I not know! Just beautiful. And his voice..!
Perfection, huge talent, gorgeous and humble man. Thank you Neil for putting the soul and feeling in your songs and for all the memories ❤️
He ain't heavy....so beautiful song..speaks of love and family ❤️. Thank you youtube and ND

As long as Iive!
At 23:03 Neil’s good I’ll Brooklynese comes out when he says afterwoods ! I love it. Just a kid from the neighborhood.
... & 12 months later a Greek Theatre becomes famous
That last song put shivers up my spine .
What an absolute masterpiece of a song, the lyrics are so so brilliant.
This turned me into a Neil Diamond fan instantly and have been for 50 years
My favorite tv show. He was so young and absolutely fantastic.
I feel privileged to b able to say I saw him twelve times live! He is really a very rare gem-just like a diamond! God bless you Neil for your gorgeous voice, music and all of my wonderful memories of seeing you in concert.
Lucky you😉
Can't be said enough One of GREAT'S
Fantastic performance. 👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant. Thank You so Much Neil.🎼👌 Beautiful Memories 💖.We send you Love. 🌍
Excellent artist!!! Their music is super.
A 50 años de este concierto me siento conmovida 😢 y pues es una joya poder verlo.
Amazingly talented! He is so charming here - and a little vulnerable. And humble. And so incredibly handsome! Best version of Holly Holy ever!
I totally agree!
he was smiling a lot and joking in this video, completely confident and holding his own. Not so melancholy as a lot of his songs were. He shows a lot of drama in his songs I guess he could have been a great ACTOR.
