Neil Diamond
Madison Square Garden
June 17th
I don’t even need to explain or expound on how great Neil Diamond is and why you should see him play live (I have twice already). Â OK, I will – He’s Neil Diamond. Â You love ‘Sweet Caroline’. Â He plays it live – it will probably blow your mind. Â It always does mine (see video at the bottom). Â He used to do a 15+ minute version of it live – mainly letting the audience do all the work (besides him egging us on by saying ‘ONE MORE TIME!!’, like 18 times). Â Well, Neil’s getting up there in years – this tour celebrates his 50 years in the bidness!!! Â And at this show, his walk and rocking seemed a bit slowed down, but nothing else about him or his voice seemed to be losing touch. Â Done too soon? Â Hardly, and I’ll continue to see him play, even if eventually pars down his ‘Sweet Caroline’ to a minute, cause it remains beyond SO GOOD, SO GOOD, SO GOOD!!
