![💎NEIL DIAMOND ~ GREATEST HITS LIVE [1988]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/y_jUX98mpxE/mqdefault.jpg)
We have 4 generations of Neil Diamond fans in our family.
I LOVE HIS SONGS, I LOVE HIS VOICE.and I love Neil Diamond
Neil live has one of the most power voices I ever heard. Except maybe Jay Black
Me too!
I do too!!!!❤❤❤
Ì know. His voice is so rumbly deep and sexy.
Hate this list. He has more of a better repertoire of songs
There will never, ever, in this life time be another Neil Diamond, from a NEWFIE girl, now 70 and still rocking his music, he captures all genres and people and is handsome beyond words, and those green eyes, a forever fan living in Ontario, Canada.
TRUTH!💎❤️❤️❤️
My Brother back in Nigeria will listen to his songs 24/7.
OMG
I leave in Charlotte NC.@Number One
From a similar woman in Chicago. In my 70s and still rocking his music. Handsome beyond words, just so disappointed that he is unable to do live concerts any longer. I know that he felt as much joy as we, the audience, did. I pray for good health and long life for the man who has meant so much to me and so many others. Love to you, Neil.
My favorite singer of all time. Have listened to him since I was a teen. Now I'm 83 he is still my favorite
i am 83 live in ireland went to Croke Park to see him & Linda it was great.We had the music ghowing up
Math doesn’t work hit first hit was 1966
Should have run full songs. He is he best of all song writers/performers of the 20th 21st century. He wrote many songs for many other artists of the day. Long live the music of Neil Diamond!
Imagine doing that and adding another 10 songs that weren't included here!
I’ve seen him and taken my children to his concerts! There is nothing like it. I’ve been to dozens of concerts and he is one of my top two!
It had to be in 1996 my daughter and I went to see Neil Diamond at Wembley Arena. One of the most amazing, stunning and memorable nights of both of our lives. Great respect to you Mr Diamond and so glad you have found happiness with the lovely Katie. Thank you.
I’m almost 80 and I have loved loved loved Neil’s songs for YEARS and YEARS! He is just magnificent as a performer and a man! No other can beat him! 👍💜💜💜
🎉🎉❤ I agree with you 💯 👏 👌 Take care
Ho la tua stessa età. Ho sempre vissuto in Italia e quindi non ho mai potuto assistere a un suo concerto. Però lo conosco e lo ascolto da molti anni. Lo ringrazio per tutta la sua musica e in particolare per la colonna sonora de "Il gabbiano Jonathan Livingston", il mio libro preferito che Neil ha contribuito a far diventare anche uno splendido film. ❤🤗
I'm 85 so he's been my favorite
Singer since he
started singing.
❤😂 Pura verdade ele sempre foi e sempre será Fantástico 👏😊
I’m 80 and have been listening to him since he started singing. He’s wonderful in concert!
Still listen to Neil since 1970. Now 70 yrs old, he can still make me cry .
Yes - he still causes me to respond to his songs .. and I’m 72 now ! Still enjoying his greatest hits .
So true. He can wring feelings from a prune.
I'm a forever Neil Diamond fan! His music has been a big part of my life since I was in my teens and I'm in my 70's now. Neil Diamond is a great songwriter and a fabulous singer.
Definitely!!
I grew up on Neil Diamond's music and today i am still loving every ounce of it!
Absolutely wonderful video. Makes you laugh, cry and just feel this man's pure joy when all the crowd join in. A salute to you sir.
Love him and all of his songs. I think I find a favorite then I hear another one, just decided to love them all.
The emotions Neil Diamond stirs up are pure memories in the concerts we saw him, and Now the You tube treasures. the man and his music are fantastic
He is definitely one of a kind, my husband and I just love his music since we were young in school. I have also been diagnosed with Parkinson and have been dealing with since 2010 ,I know what he's going through. God bless him.l love❤❤you Neil 😅. Be positive
There are wonderful performers who entertain us for a while and then over time their songs disappear into only our memories. Neil Diamond’s music will be heard, sung, and loved hundreds of years from now.
truly one of the greatest songwriters...so many great songs...but for me" Dry Your Eyes"
I became a Neil Diamond fan when I first heard Holly Holy. The first album I bought was actually a cassette of Neil Diamond performing Live and titled 'Gold'. Long may he live and reign.
@ianraper4304 Wow weird coincidence that's the very first record I heard of his at age 8 going on 9that made me a lifelong fan. My second oldest sister had gone to a concert with some school friends and bought the record on their way home. I'm now 60 and his music is still some of my most favorite.
i discovered Neil Diamond in my teens - in the 1970s.......my grandson has grown up loving his songs, humming them, singing them - thanks, Neil Diamond for all the wonderful music - Bless you, always
So good so good SoGood!!! I'm 82 yrs young and still singing along with Neil!!
I am 83 , enjoying his misic & videos as much now as in the 60's - 80's. Saw his 2001 concert in Portland Oregon.
Remarkable amazing graceful voice. What a gift to the world. Music is a universal language!
Beautiful, beatiful, beautiful, unique voice.
My husband introduced me to Neil Diamonds music when I met hi 3:31 m in 1971, I was hooked from that moment on, 53 years later I still love him, the voice, the music, the songs, there will never be another Neil
And...the way he looks (at me LOL).
Neil Diamond has brought so much joy to me and millions of others during his lengthy career, he should be a national treasure.
❤🎉
He's legendary
I have loved Neil Diamond for more than 50 years. The sound quality and the visual quality varies a lot in the clips. The early clips are particularly nice.
I saw him live in concert in 1979 - when he would have been about 38 years old. An absolutely magical performance, never forgotten. He knew how to involve the audience! His voice was more resonant when he was younger. I regret not going to see him when he was here in the late 1990s and owe my friend Stuart an apology for that! But hey, I got to see a lot of the best musicians of the time , live, over many genres and I can go back and see it all again in memory!
I was introduced to Neil Diamond in the 70's thanks to my parents, in particular their love of Hot August Night....Quite simply the greatest singer/songwriter there has ever been...
Same here!! Every time I hear a Neil Diamond song, I think of the seventies and my parents. My favourite is Solitary Man.
He can't even CARRY bob dylan's guitar. cheers
AMRICA
Memories of my Sister Johanna listening to hot August night. My wife and I Forever in Blue jeans that fire❤❤
Have loved him for over 50yrs. A legend
Saw him live in August of 1975 in Forest Hills, NY. Outrageous then and even better with age!
Lucky you. God bless you.
My mom who was a huge fan got me into Neil Diamond way back when I was just a kid. And I grew to really like his music. But I have to say, he was an absolutely AMAZING performer live. For example Holly Holy, which is a good song on the original album, is absolutely riveting when he performed it live like on Hot August Night.
He was a terrific singer
Totally agree with you. I will add two points out of curiosity - 1 Hot August Night is one of the best Live albums ever yet for some unknown reason is never included in many top live album lists and 2 Diamond has an excellent singing voice but was not regarded as a good singer by those who should know better (in a laughable singers list, Rolling Stone did not list Diamond but had Lou Reed and Bob Dylan in their top 20 - after seeing Lou Reed I was on the lookout for Leo Kottke as #1 but alas, no, I was to be disappointed with that one). You might also check out an earlier Neil Diamond live album 'Gold'.
GREAT music, such good memories, he's an American treasure. And so cute!
Just wonderful. Gorgeous voice. Such a fantastically gifted man.
Totally the best! Loved all the concerts I was blessed to attend. Love you Neil! Always! 👍🏻🥰❤️🙏 God bless you! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Neil Diamond for your beautiful music and singing. You got me threw a life threatening medical and surgical procedure. When I thought I wouldn't make it I would have the nurses put your music on for me and it calmed me. I have been to three of your concerts and sang your songs with you and cried at times. I am a nurse that just retired after 50 yrs of nursing and I hope you can find someone or something that can help you when the Parkinson's gives you a bad day. I am sure you have helped many people and didn't even know it but this person wanted you to know!!!!!! Thank you!!!!! I do have a bucket list and seeing you in concert is checked off!!
So many terrific songs and such a beautiful voice!! Thank you Neil Diamond!!
Neil Diamond u r the greatest song writer & singer. Always loved u since i was very young. Many great nights i had with friends to ur music & songs. Tks such much. Prayers for ur health. 🙏❤ ❤
neil Diamond is the best all of his songs r the best of all time
Thanks and a Happy New Year
I saw Neil Diamond in concert long time ago (I’m 75) and just when I thought I had heard all his hit songs he would sing another one. He gave us so many wonderful songs.
I started listening to Neil’s song since I was 22, great voice, definitely he’s a legend. I hv big crush on him. Umm.
For me, Neil will always be the best. Since age 7, I was absolutely thrilled by his music and the words of a song. And yes, he is also very soft on the eyes. Such a dream for me ❤😊
Love this man. I listen to his music every day. Watching this now at 01.21. Helps me sleep. Thank you for the many years you have made music. Xx
Hes been my idol right from the start and still is at 71 , I've past my luv to my children that r older now and think he's the best and he is , not a day goes by without playing Neil's music , ❤️ no one else can replace him a true hero , we luv him xxx seen all his concerts in Nz xxxx
There’s never been any one like him.
❤The best Music forever Neil Diamonds Thank you 👌👍❤
Love Neil Diamond....his was my very first live concert I attended in Seattle...then his was also my last (so far) concert at the Cow Palace in San Francisco!
My girlfriend who has passed away was from Boston and the song Sweet Caroline is a Boston song. Everytime I hear it, it puts a smile on my face and a tear in my eye as we sang it often. Thank you Neil for those memories
I am just throwing this out here, amongst fellow lovers of his music, but you know he is still kickin’ tail. Do you think sometimes about such gifted people like Neil Diamond, he just celebrated his 82nd birthday…. St the end of the day when everyone he sees knows him and his talent, what good it would do his soul for him to come across a person that didn’t know him or his legendary music and for him to sing it again for the first time? Where the beautiful backdrop of the tune draws them in and then the lyrics sink in the way it did for all of us?
It seems to me that someone that is possibly surrounded by people that have heard and loved his music would want to lay it out in front of a new set of ears and see if it really was timeless.
It is timeless. And we can do that for our kids. If they set their phones down and we let them listen deeply, they can make connections like we all did, I think. Now I am just rambling. LOL but all my 5 grown kids like his music, and I feel like in time they will appreciate it even more as they show his legacy to my grandchildren.
Amen to that. You are so right. Timeless.
I luv Neil Diamond
First concert August 1976 at the Greek Theater
Last time August 2017 at the Forum in LA
Thank you for this video
Thanks for your comment
There will only ever be one ND. The best!
This is an excellent list! we could pick 100 Neil Diamond songs and put them into groups of 10 and you would have 10 more excellent lists.
He is that prolific!
Yes, he is!!
la voix !!!!!!!!! unique !!!! la présence scénique, le physique, le sourire, tout est unique ! quel artiste !!!
Sadly, I never got to see Neil Diamond in person. I have loved his music since the sixties, even the songs that others did. I will miss not hearing a new album from him.
My favorite singer, songwriter, and a great performer, 2 bad, you do not had a concert 2 my beloved country, Philippines.
I Love Neil Diamond!!!❤️❤️❤️
Neil diamond is so great
I find it so hard to limit my list to 10. Your picks were great!!
Thanks for your comment and a Happy New Year
@@neil_diamond ftx

A really shining 💎 He truely is... The Hammer, Elvis & Neil...
I grew up with your music thank you very much my great myth God bless ♥️ you
I saw Neil Diamond in concert several times. He always gives
1000 percent during a performance.
Neil Diamond is a phenomenal performer.
I've been a fan for over 50 years. In the early 2000s, I made a list of what I thought then were the 5 most famous Neil Diamond songs: "I'm a Believer", "America", "Red, Red Wine" (because of UB40's version), "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", and "Solitary Man". I didn't rank them because I kept changing my mind as to where each one would fit. And yet, one song I never even considered for that list is far and away his most famous now. Of course I'm talking about "Sweet Caroline".
Also Song, song blue...
Got most of his lps . Been listening to him in the Seventy’s till now. I’m seventy one now and still listening . Got the chance to watch him twice. The best time in my life. It made me closer to the divine providence.
I thought you said, "lips"!
Neil Diamond's top ten song lists are impossible unless there are 30+ songs!
I like the inclusion of "Beautiful Noise" and "Soolaimon" because they are great songs that don't get much recognition. Two songs missing here are "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" and my favorite "If You Know what I mean."
Two more good choices. Thank you.
One of THE greatest ( if not THE greatest) singer ever ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
It's wonderful to see younger folks learning about Neil Diamond. Of course I'm disappointed that "Brother Love's Salvation Show", and "Cherry Cherry" didn't make the list, but understandable, since this guy cranked out something like 30 hit albums.
Neil Diamond has sold over 140 million records worldwide making him one of the best selling artists in music history. He gained some early success and recognition as a songwriter for "Sunday and Me", a 'TOP 20 Hit' for Jay & the Americans in November 1965. Soon followed by the release of his own singles, "Solitary Man" and "Cherry Cherry" in 1966. According to the "Recording Industry Association", Diamond has sold 50 million albums in America alone. #Billboard has him ranked as the "25th Greatest Artist of All Time".
In a career that spanned well over 50+ years, Neil "cranked out" ...
** 32 studio albums
+ {16 charted on Billboards TOP 10} ...
** 35 compilation albums {Greatest Hits etc etc} ...
** 8 LIVE albums ...
** 94 singles
+ {scored 38 TOP 40 Singles}
** 2 Soundtracks
+ "Johnathon Livingston Seagull" ~ 1973 ~ Neil won a Grammy Award the
following year.
+ "The Jazz Singer" ~ 1980 ~ Selling 6+ million copies earning Neil {and the
album} 'Multi-Platinum' status.
Neil has achieved record sales with ** 40 Gold Albums
** 21 Platinum Albums {selling 1 million}
** 11 Multi~Platinum {selling 2+ millions}
Neil Diamond is the ONLY artist to score a TOP 20 hit in each decade SINCE the CREATION OF 'Billboards Adult Contemporary' Chart' ... NOT Elton John, Bee Gee's, Micheal Jackson, Barbara Streisand, Stevie Wonder, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra {ALL great artists in their own right!} or others alike from the 60's to present day.
The 'Adult Contemporary Chart' debut in #Billboard Magazine on July 17, 1961. It has also been referred to as 'Easy Listening' or 'Middle of the Road'.
Just saying ... 😇😎😄💎

Thank you very much
This man is a legend, trying to find his music here in New Zealand
Neil is so lovely and lovable in this vid 🤩
Thank you!!
These are indeed fantastic!!! I would love to interview him and ask him, one songwriter to another, what was in his mind, heart, thoughts when he wrote his songs.
All, great songs, but there are more that belong on this list. You can't just stop at 10.
A wonderful great musician !
Here’s 5 tunes that are often overlooked in his best of lists….1) Walk on Water, Coldwater Morning, Yes I Will, Mother’s Daughters fathers and sons, Dear Father….
😂❤ Fantástico Neil sempre amoooo
Che emozione. Una carrellata di successi fra cui 2 tradotti in italiano. E cantata da 2 cantanti italiani che, per loro fu un successo. Come sempre ti dico. CIAO
Not only is Neil a great singer/songwriter, he is an excellent actor! I enjoyed all of his movies! ❤️🔥
My husband has PArkinson’s and I am a witness to the disease. I’m so glad he has family and still has that wonderful voice.😇
The voice bar none. A brilliant song writer, probably my favourite artist ever.
My 3 year old granddaughter loves Neil. She has great taste in music
Love the 10 picks songs....but I love all ..thank you

Neil Diamond is quite handsome as will as great singer . I am one of his million fans who love him it’s saddened me to find out he is ill hope & pray he can survive his everyday living. Take care Neil 🙏😘(3/18/‘23
Neil Diamond brings such happiness into my life and it’s something that I need as I’m often in a great deal of pain and his singing always cheers me up.
To whittle down all Neil's Top Ten songs is agonizing to say the least. With so many favourites to choose from its just not possible.
My mother was probably the most avid fan on Neil's... she had every Album and listened to them often and growing up... I could sing them all from memory for years until his albums in the mid-late 80's when I moved out of my parents house. I like his stuff but not enough to keep up with the albums.. but when anything from heartlight and prior comes on, i still know the words...
Thank you! I lo e it. All my youth I have been listening to these songs. A d the LP"s are well kept.❤
No- one can sing like him, or make an audience have fun or even fall in love with! There's no song of his I can critique on.
Anyone can try to be like him, but to sound like him...,...never!! He touches my soul with his beautiful voice, his songs🎵 and him!!! I will love him forever.
My list is longer...but your picks are great!!
For me, Neil Diamond is Forever in Blue Jeans.
He is one of my all time favorite artists. I love all his music!
Wonderful music! I have loved it ever since I was a teen. Gorgeous voice. We love you!
The day the album beautiful noise came out I went to Roselands in Sydney and picked up the lp still have that copy I think I was about 16 at the time
