NEIL DIAMOND CENTRAL WEBSITE - www.neildiamond...
A stunning entrance! After Hot August Night (1972), which, in the absence of video footage, and dwells in our imagination, this must rank amongst the very best!
Hot August Night lll (2012) the 40th Anniversary of Neil Diamond's Hot August Night 1972 concerts.
"SOOLAIMON - A variation of the word "Salamah", meaning "Hello" and "Welcome" as well as "Good-bye" and "Peace be with you" in many languages." - ND
"When rhythm and blues lost its sensuality for me I fell in love with a woman named gospel. We met secretly in the churches of Harlem, and made love at revival meetings in Mississippi. And loving her as I did, I found a great yearning to know of her roots. And I found them. And they were in Africa. And they left me breathless. The African Trilogy is an attempt to convey my passion for the folk music of that black continent. - N.D."
"Soolaimon was originally written for an extended piece ("The African Trilogy") Soolaimon took on a life of its own when it was presented to a live audience." - ND

This Live Version: Hot August Night lll (2012)
Lord of my want, want, want
God of my need, need, need
Leading me on, on, on
On to my woman
She dance for the sun
Lord of my day, day, day
God of my night, night, night
Seek for the way, way, way
Taking me home
She callin' my name… Salamah!
Come she come say
Ride out on the night
Sun become day… Salamah!
Day it shall provide
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Soo, soolaimon
Soolai, soolai, soolaimon
Lord of my want, want, want
God of my need, need, need
Leading me on, on, on
On to my woman
She dance for the sun
Lord of my day
God of my night
Seek for the way
Taking me home
She callin’ my name…
Lord of my want
God of my need
Taking me home…
