Neil Diamond bbc concert 1971

[@tmadsam]

NO ONE can ever top Neil Diamond. The genius who writes and sings masterpieces. I'm writing this 3-15-2024. Neil Diamond has been in my life since I was 17 and first heard "Solitary Man." I'm 72 now and Neil Diamond is 83! I've grown up with his music. He's my life! I love him and always will. 🍀🌺💎❤️‍🔥⭐❤️🎼🎶🎵🫂🌹💋

[@ecivaniademourarodrigues9350]

É, pessoal...Neil fez uma construção de vida pessoal e profissional se tornarem um só projeto verdadeiro . Projeto este que nos cativou com amor e respeito sem vulgaridade. Seus depoimentos nos tornam próximos no sentido de sermos seres humanos ... é como se Neil nos esclarecesse que ele também é como nós , mas a questão é : a magnitude e a dedicação em suas obras . Aí sim ! Neste quesito não há ninguém igual a vc Neil !!!! Aceite nosso amor e carinho como forma de gratidão, querido Neil !!!!Vc é o tipo de ser que não temos receio de apresentar a quem amamos muito! Estou aqui te assistindo em um vídeo e vez ou outra minha filha se aproxima e curte também. Ela sabe quem é vc através da história de dezenas de anos atrás... Isso é sublime. Gratidão por tudo!!!! Deus te abençoe sempre!!!❤❤❤

Listen to him still ALL THE TIME!!! Biggest crush on him ever!!! March 20, 2024

[@francesyancey8126]

Our story is very much the same. I saw Neil in Calgary 1969, again and then in 1986(?) and finally in Seattle. His songs are so resonate in what they say and how my body reacts to his voice. My kids and grandchildren all appreciate his music. I took a friend to the Seattle concert; he was a massive fan but hadn’t the opportunity to see Neil in person. Watching him enjoy it brought me even more joy. April, 2024

No wonder we all had a crush on this guy who we knew was a deep-feeling poet and musical genius, who had the most unique voice that could never be replicated, who was able to express his feelings and our lives through his words and that voice. Plus the man himself. Just one huge, gorgeous, package that we knew, thankfully was here to stay - forever. How appropriate that Neil is a Diamond. Love him always.

I went to Europe for the first time in my life in 1972. Celebrated my 21st birthday on that trip. I remember this song so well! I worked full time and went to college full time took me 5 yrs to graduate! The emotions he expresses in his songs were in me all the time!

This is the closest we will ever get to 1972 Hot August Night on video.

[@Taranberk2]

He sounded his absolute best here. His voice was really powerful and expressive. I always thought of him primarily as a songwriter, but his vocals on all the songs at the BBC show are extraordinary. Also, he was still sorta shy at this point, which is totally charming, yet his wit and humor comes through. I really picked up on an intellectual vibe. How cool it would have been to be able to sit and just chat with him back then!

[@carolyncollette4933]

I remember when he first came out. I was a choreographer so very tuned into music. Always looking for something to grab me, then was playing cassette tapes, so no visual of him then... I remember thinking,, "Who IS THIS GUY!?!!". HE IS PHENOMENAL. THIS GUTTERAL SOUND THAT GOES TO THE DEPTHS OF YOUR SOUL!!!😂 REALLY REACHES...! This was in the 60's. I thought I was the only one that REALLY appreciated him.. And little did I know how visually beautiful he was! He's the only one able to sing his story songs. And so many people felt what I was feeling... I'm in my 80's now and still have this lifelong "crush" on him...the greatest composer, storyteller singer, Musical evangelist of the century! The Angels gave us the gift of Neil Diamond.

Thank you for posting this concert. It is beautiful and quintissential Neil! I particularly like his candid chatter at the beginning of songs.

Amazingly talented! He is so charming here - and a little vulnerable. And humble. And so incredibly handsome! Best version of Holly Holy ever!
