I’ve never in my life seen a performer connect with the audience the way he does. I swear those sultry, sparkly eyes could end wars. ✨

The only word to describe this performance is SMOULDERING.🔥 Loved it.

[@donitabell3877]

This performance was so monumental in Neil's early start to mega stardom. Just as a fine wine improves with age, so does Neil in his advancement of style, voice, in- depth trilogies, movie scores and even acting. His treasury of compositions were aching to be heard over five decades. The music in his head never stood still. Such a genius for which we are so grateful. Thank you, Neil. 💎💎💎

I love these live performances on these early shows; enjoy them probably better than a big splashy performance.

[@briantcox]

I love this! Even the vintage, lower quality video doesn’t take away the charisma and amazing artistry of Neil.

[@UNbowed62]

Well, Vintage IS the quality. I don’t see anything as being “lower quality”, though. It’s true Vintage, simplified with focus on Neil; no distractions, unlike in today’s attention-deficit videos for young crowds. But yes, agree that Neil’s charisma & showmanship has prevailed thru-out 5 decades. Pure Heaven, indeed!😊❤️

[@janetwaters9553]

The story I read about this appearance was that Neil wasn’t supposed to go on for another half an hour but the sports game, soccer I believe, ended early and they had to rush him out on stage and they started the music before he could get out there for the beginning of “Done too Soon”! It was a live show that showed sports and entertainment ! Neil handled it like any good professional would and just picked the song up where he need to ! Great to see the whole performance! ❤️💎❤️💎❤️💎❤️

[@tonyvaradaraj634]

I had seen a short clip of the same performance and couldn't figure out why he picked it up there so it figures. The raw nature of these performances without the technical sound wizardry of later years to add polish is what makes them special.

[@Sharsung]

Thank you for sharing this. I’d been wondering.

I can well imagine that ND became increasingly annoyed during this performance. However, he reacted very professionally. He couldn't know at that time that this recording would still be one of the best performances ever for his fans 50 years later. There have been sensational concerts and performances then, but this youthful charm has given way to a more adult ND. of course, no less interesting!

This and the BBC In concert film seem to be the only surviving video records of Neil Diamond at his artistic peak. Such a crying shame as both of these are subdued appearances on TV compared to the ferocious intensity of his rock concerts that cemented his live reputation culminating in the Hot August Night shows. The Neil Diamond that returned to touring in the late seventies was a completely different and far more mellow MOR artist.

[@hebi8842]

I agree 100%. After the break from 1972 to 1976, Neil Diamond has been another musician. You can say he lost his "innocence". The casual ease of the young years. Which, of course, is quite natural. It would have been bad if he had not developed in the 4 years. And Neil Diamond also made sensational music afterwards and gave outstanding concerts. But this time around 1970 was in my opinion his most touching.
