Neil Diamond on the Everly Brothers Show 1970

[@rslitman]

On July 22, 1970, when I watched this show on TV, I never dreamed I would be watching it again on July 22, 2023, on a computerized device on which I could watch it any time I wanted to! I was a student in a computer school at the time but never dreamed that computers would one day let me see such memories from my youth. Also, I never dreamed that "Sweet Caroline", which was a hit the previous year, would take on a new life and major international popularity in the 21st century.

This was so totally awesome! i have never seen this before. I was a senior in high school at the time. I have always loved Neil so much. He sings from the heart and soul. That was a really great show. LOVE YOU, NEIL.🥰🥰😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@lmccism]

He brings every word & emotion to it’s full expression. Beautiful performer.

[@brendabarnes4052]

Neil Diamond is and was the really true master of all of them! Still is as he still not forgotten.. Oh I never get tiered of hearing him and his songs ever!

[@marcyking461]

The audience in attendance for this show got their money's worth, given the talent oozing from the stage. I wish I'd been there.

[@cak8132]

Wow!! The Everly Brothers and Neil Diamond. That’s a whole lot of incredible talent (and great hair!!) on one stage.

[@krasnoz6]

I’ve always liked his music but appreciate it more even now. He’s got it all- distinctive, dynamite voice, awesome songwriter & guitar player and was handsome as hell! - he still is for an older man 😊

[@teresadbrownbrown3785]

Agree

[@leslieabrassart4236]

No other voice has that effect on me, on my skin, on my heart and on my soul ...

[@alicefridman2447]

Obrigada Kathleen, por postar essa raridade dos Anos 70, fantástico Neil Diamond! Época muito linda! ❤❤❤ Hoje 01/Outubro/2023

[@Hy-Brasil]

Gadzooks! Bojangles... i didn't think i'd find a better version than Nitty Gritty Dirt Band! I loved this song when i was a kid because it talked about a dog lol i was too little to discern what it was really about. I was a little older and able to pay attention to the lyrics and of course it gutted me. This song was right up there with Old Shep!! both make me wanna cry lol especially the line "after twenty years he still grieves" ... yeah i can relate to that a whole lot. I wish we had more songs on the radio about good old dogs.

[@victoriachinavare5535]

Since I was only 10 years old at the time of this show God bless you Kathleen I never would have seen this if it wasn't for you.🌹

[@kathleenmosley8563]

You are welcome!

[@victoriachinavare5535]

Love love love this man he is amazing!!! Thank you Neil diamond 💎 for the good music. I put my headphones on and I'm in heaven. God bless Neil. 🌹

[@SamtheMan0508]

[@breatharian2009]

Forever a ND fan

[@marysteffens4531]

Love this!! If there was ever a candidate to be a third Everly Brother, it would be Neil. The three of them performing together.....MAGIC!!💎💎❤

[@Michaela-tn1oi]

Ich liebe diesen Mann seit 50 Jahren, seit ich ihn mit 7 Jahren das erste Mal gesehen habe. Was für eine Ausstrahlung, was für eine Stimme, so viel Talent. Er hat Millionen Fans auf der Welt. Es gibt nur einen ND. Danke an Kathleen für die vielen schönen Erinnerungen.

[@Frizzbeegirl]

Love, watching Neil jam out to I’ll away at the end!!❤❤❤

[@bettyvijver]

Wonderful , my favorits toghether. Love this so much .🎶🎸🎸🎸🕺🕺🕺❤❤❤👏👏👏Sweet memories.

[@karenmcdunn3852]

How great to watch Neil having so much fun!!😁 (didja catch his softshoe moves at the end of Mr Bojangles?!!) And what a thrill this must've been from him - Neil still, to this day, cites the Everly Brothers as one of his top three musical influences. Pure Gold!!! 😊🪙💛🏆🌟💎 (and Dang! He was CUTE!!! 😍🥰😘)

[@susanlawrence8401]

Thank you! I did since you mentioned it! Super cute of him- hahaha

[@bettycoffin4206]

Just stumbled across this musical gem. Love the performance

[@zukosmom3780]

If only we could go back in time

[@marlenalinne7958]

One heck of a lot of talent on the stage that night.

[@omapam162]

Mmmmm, good. Time passes too swiftly.

[@vivhiggins5656]

How true time waits for no one,

[@everly-shadystudios9900]

I'm 57 and my middle name is Everly..my mom named me after the Everly Brothers, I've always been a fan big time

[@tanyahays7170]

I remember watching this. Three loves of my life came together that night.

[@suzannejarusiewicz373]

That was so-o-o enjoyable, Kathleen. I have a smile on my face from ear to ear. I love seeing a young Neil, a special treat.

[@shannonwhitt7755]

Ààa

[@KandMe1]

I'll fly away sweet Jesus I'll fly away

[@HowardPaulblasingame]

Thanks for posting. The Everly Bros was Neil's favorite group--his inspiration.

[@sounder9393]

They were an even bigger inspiration to Simon & Garfunkel.

[@guadalupejimenez1374]

Hermosa cancion.! Besos Neil.

[@ColeSonMusic]

such talent

[@hebegabanineves8706]

Fantástico Neil Daiamond....amooo

[@SierraJude]

Happy Birthday Neil! I had the biggest crush on you!

[@terryshoemaker8570]

Watching the Evs together with Neil Diamond is great ! They were and are still my hereos. Neil was already great and he still sounds like a musical master to me. Thank you for sharing this rare vidéo From France were Neil came back about 18 months ago to my great delight

[@rslitman]

I saw this show when it aired on July 22, 1970. I couldn't yet vouch for the excitement of his live performances yet because it was still 5 days before my first one - the first of many to come over the next 45 years. In this video, I prefer his joint performances with the Everly Brothers over his two solos.

[@anamariaminisale]

Su voz es muy especial y rl como ser humano también es muy especial. Es un hombre que tiene los pies sobre la tierra.lo admiro y no me canso de escucharlo todos los días.y es xe mi generación soy de Argentina ❤

[@rootbox]

1:27 - pre - cheesy era Neil Diamond. Amazing voice and songwriter. Out of tune guitar and all - he's a gem.

[@susanlawrence8401]

Rootbox - pre-cheesy? Explain please- you mean at the end of the song?

[@sbbut47]

When did he become cheesy?

[@AntonioBarsanio]

Cheeese your mama, you are disrespecting Neil.

[@roseblake5803]

@rootbox Yo Momma is cheesy 😡

[@bocaymon]

Fan-tas-tic! Thank you for sharing!

[@MrMajstyk]

Trivial, but cool: In the part of the show where they are all singing together they are all playing a Gibson 180 Everly Brothers model guitar! This wasn't just for show, as Neil used an Everly Brothers Gibson on most of his early hits and is seen in concert and in photos with it, and he played it on and off for many years throughout his career. The Everlys used Gibson SJ200s early on, but they are huge guitars and they asked Gibson for a slighly smaller version of the jumbo, and with double pickguards due to the aggressive strumming they incorporated in their playing, and Gibson modified the J185 and called it the J180 Everly Brothers model, which has been in and out of production over the decades since. (It's back in production for 2024 from Gibson's Custom Shop). Great guitar for these three amazing singers/guitar slingers! Thanks for posting this Kathleen!

[@rhotspot]

So many great songs played on this one video. Bar Chords allowed me to play along on all of them. Mr. Bojangles (Key of C: C-Am-F-G), Sweet Caroline (Key of A: A-D-E-F#m), and Solitary Man (I already knew this song in open chords Key of G: Em-Am-G-C-D)...I said it before and I'll say it again, The Bar Chord is the single greatest musical invention ever....

[@patriciajrs46]

Glad you learned the music. Hope you kept up with it. Good job. Keep on singing.

[@sounder9393]

Best invention if you don't have a broken pinky.

[@nadiapascucci9990]

Great performance. You gave me a great present to share it. Thank you so much.

[@annekelotus]

Wooowww great combi everly s and neil thanks

[@dianabeurman9937]

[@brockreynolds870]

Oh, how I wish there was the video footage of Don and Evie singing the duet of 'Happy Together" from this episode.

[@petervink8305]

So fab. The man is a topper seing him nw.castle ,uk

[@mariaisabelsampaio8078]

Estou amando os videosshow

[@AntonioBarsanio]

This song is a POEM. Neil Diamond perhaps the best interpreter of this magical song.

[@funhistory]

Not mentioned in the video's description, at 10:00 he also does a medley with the EBs of "I Got the Feelin'", "Solitary Man", & "Kentucky Woman".

[@davidc8735]

funhistory wow, sorry these weren’t ever released, amazing live collaboration!

Nice! Thanks for uploading! Regards from Leiden (the Netherlands)!

[@paulhcabral]

Excellent performance - too bad video quality wasn't better - these studios must have original video in vaults - would be really great to remaster these

[@vicroy46]

Never got to see these shows in UK. Would love to purchase a boxed set of the series.

If we put Sweet Caroline as our ringtone... is that a Diamond ring?

this is the Neil era I like best, 1966-1971. Before the comb over, elvis/Wayne Newton sequined jumpsuit, arena crap

[@deborahkallgren2236]

Would love to see the entire show. Can you post?

[@kathleenmosley8563]

Sorry - only have Neil's section!

[@tenniscollector]

Thank you for these uploads. Do you mind if I play with the audio of the Medley portion (re-mix the sound to Hi-Fi) and re-upload on my channel ?

[@kathleenmosley8563]

+tenniscollector I have no copyright, ownership etc over this music! So it's up to you.

[@realdiamondshow]

Didn't anyone bother to tune those guitars??

[@mitchmclean3898]

They remind me of Bill and Ted somehow.....

[@Decimator-jh4gu]

No.

[@Khairabar]

superb performances from a young man who was then truly "cool", unlike the sad caricature of himself he became in kid later years when the cool young man became a clown seduced by the stadium concert screaming women... and lost the street cred he had here, which if he had kept it would have seen him ranked with Cohen, Dylan etc, rather than Perry Como and Andy Williams. so sad.

[@mrbeaverstate]

Outsold them all.

[@paulhcabral]

Neil outsold them all in album sales, concert sales and longevity - still touring - " cool " is how true you are to yourself - He said he was never " cool " just himself.

[@HowardPaulblasingame]

Paul Cabral Beautifully said.

[@offthewallproductionsltd6326]

Dylan became a clown as well, with his laughable Christmas album. Never heard of Cohen though. Maybe he's famous in Israel.

[@realdiamondshow]

Never heard of Leonard Cohen...lol! What planet are you from??
