Neil Diamond's Thank You Australia Concert - 1976

[@bonniecleveland3470]

Neil Diamond should have gotten sexiest man of the year over & over. His whole life he's a real looker. I never get tired of watching him. Music & the man has been a gift to us!!!

[@jenniferwebb748]

How often do we find “perfection “. Just listen to Neil Diamond on the stage and you have found it. The band are top class. What more do you want. This concert is wonderful and you can tell by the smiling,happy faces and the interaction during Song Sung Blue. The only problem is that I am unable to be there.

He is the Best and Will be forever

Lo escucho y vuelvo a mi juventud tengo 71 años y para mi mi es fuera de serie Nail soy de Argentina ❤

[@charlesyateschalfant]

A complex, private, often moody perfectionist. However, he's mellowed in his older age. His natural talent for melody is outstanding and his showmanship is excellent. I was at this show and loved it.

[@deborahwachowiak7949]

I wish I could have going to one of Neil diamond's performance performances but I'm only 60 I love listening to him every single night

[@tonycostanzo4276]

i dont think there is a more hypnotic musician in the world up to this day than Niel Diamond ,this was one of the best concerts of the mid 70S

[@j.edward4379]

With out doubt one of the best live voices.

[@judiehorzelski2241]

LOVE NEIL SO MUCH. BEAUTIFUL MUSIC AND ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS MAN. THOSE EYES AND THOSE LEATHER PANTS. ❤❤❤

[@lincolnsamuels2744]

The first album I've ever bought. "A Hot August Night". I have never heard an opening to a concert such as that. I was just a teenager growing up in Jamaica. Reggae music was the order of the day. But I got hooked on Neil Diamond, and I'm still hooked today. I an fortunate to have seen him in concert twice in Toronto, and he gave his all. My favorite artist of all time

[@donaldcook3112]

. . . Very well stated, Lincoln. ‘HOT AUGUST NIGHT’ is not even ‘approached’ never mind ‘surpassed’ in the ‘live in-concert’ genre. I am very pleased you were able to be at 2 of Neil’s concert’s to see for yourself just ‘why’ he was unmatched in-concert. The number of times I read the following : … “ Always wanted to see him in concert “. I ask in reply … “ Neil played about 2,000 concert’s including about 500 in Europe in total. What stopped you ?.. “ Never get a reply …? Even to “ Where in the world are you?..” I am certain they would have gone - but only ‘IF’ he was playing at their ‘hood’. And they weren’t kept away from their fast-food and t.v. for more than a couple of hours… ‘ Doughy minds in doughy bodies ‘ as my favourite author stated. Be well .

Wow, ❤🎼🎶🎸❤️‍🩹💞💯🌹 Australia Excellent Neil Diamond God Bless You All .

[@teresadbrownbrown3785]

Amen

[@bheehee2743]

No one wore leather pants like Neil. Brilliant again to watch after seeing it live on TV in the 70’s, when I was 15 or 16. God bless you Neil.

[@mrdarcy9379]

I was at this concert in Sydney in 1976. I was a young teenager, it was incredible.

[@shanevernon-do5jk]

we had the fantasic experience of seeing him in the 90s and he only got better with age. the best live show of all.

[@gabistevenson7049]

My dad took my sister and I to that concert , I was 14 ❤️🙏❤️

[@carlaaustin6054]

His voice is fantastic but the songs he wrote are incredible 😍. Only he can sing his songs and do them credit.

[@teresadbrownbrown3785]

Yes

[@donaldcook3112]

. . . SO many attempt to … and no-one can … not even get close . The best I have heard have ‘ conveyed the spirt of Neil ‘ at most .

[@hebi8842]

Mr. diamond in the mood to play and chat. This is a fantastic concert. The 70s were really one of his best. And how Mr. Diamond knows how to wear his leather pants.... ;-)

Hola lo mejor de los 70 el recitar mas grande que he visto hasta el dia hoy se escuchan sus canciones soy fanatico de Neil Dayamon

[@leslieabrassart4236]

Not my generation but I love that man ... Voice and music. He's also an excellent showman, natural, friendly, humble and very respectful. A wonderful poet and a very intelligent person, too. Class and elegance. Very close from perfection. French thoughts to him ...

[@georgsturzer7413]

Thanks for this concert I love it and I will never forgot this great singer Neil Diamond God Bless him and I wish him a long live

[@edwardcaulfield67]

remember this as if it was yesterday and not 50 years ago, if you never saw Neil live you have missed something special the consummate performer per excellent. no gimmicks just Neil and his band, this concert was shown live on Melbourne television without commercials (unheard of at the time and I don't think ever done again) their was one commercial actually which Neil did himself on stage for a stereo company, now that Neil has stopped touring we are missing one of the best live performers of all time, enjoy.

[@paulinemccabe6664]

Splendid concert.No better then Neil Diamond.

[@LibbyRal]

I love seeing his live performances because every version of his songs is unique - not a duplicate of what you hear on his albums. I can't believe I still recall these lyrics from some of the songs I haven't heard since the 70's or 80's. If only I could remember my multiplication tables that well😅🤣

[@donaldcook3112]

. . . Interesting comment ‘Libby’, our heart’s , mind’s and soul’s remember and retain those … ‘ t h i n g s ‘… that have true meaning and much else aside; I myself can not remember any-one-thing from all of those oh-so-feckin-dreary algebra, calculus, logaritihims, to say nothing of ALL of that boring-as-can be physics and chemistry. FFS . Not a jot stuck . These melodies and words did, likewise the chords and tempos. From early teens to forever - 5 decades plus . ALL the truth needed is in Neil’s word’s and music . Always was this so .

[@geoffreyhall8594]

I was lucky enough to be there, about a third of the way back in the middle. Always remember it, just brilliant. I have since discovered and bought the DVD. A special songwriter, musician and entertainer.

[@marionp.8816]

Thanks for this great concert. I still love Neil's Musik so much. Seens I was 14 years old. Greetings from Germany

[@coralynrojas8934]

I was watching this back then. I vowed to get a leather pants and style my hair like that ❤. The hairstyling was easier than getting a leather pants. I now own 2x leather pants for concert appearances (look). Neil Diamond had a real pretty good effect on me back then as a baby/child (and continues to). Look at those gorgeous eyes!!!!❤❤🎉

What an incredible concert; what an incredible recording! Thank you so much for sharing this for those of us who never got to experience Neil during this era - he was, to use his words, FANTASTIC!!! (And still is, of course!! I would venture to say that he's not one of the "people who never see the light until the day they die!" He has shared so much of himself, so much passion, so much love, so much light... His legacy will surely live on forever!!! 💖💎💖💎💖

[@FromMyEyesToYours]

Gotta love-- right off the get he picks up that Ovation 1627 and doesn't set it down until the last two songs of the night because he knew it was a fine workhorse he could depend on to carry the load. So very few actual legends appear in one's lifetime, and we are fortunate to have Neil Diamond.
