Tough call between this and Lady Magdalene. I love them both.

[@sandrahanson8634]

I love them both. Lady Magdalene is so self-revealing! I think even more so than "I Am I Said." He was so very young when he wrote it questioning about whether he believed in love or not. It's so very poetic. "The man on the right that he sings about believes in love, "believing that love is a song for each man to sing," the man on the left doesn't, "believing that love is a dreamer's dream," then with so much passion, almost innocence, he asks "What about me? I'm the man in between." I absolutely love that song! It surprises me because I have met so many fans that have told me that they don't understand what it's about. The music with the orchestra is beautiful! He is so amazing in every way! His heart and his soul are the gifts in his talent! This song is wrapped in both so eloquently!

AND WE WILL HAVE 1000 YEARS OF THE PEACE AND LOVE ALL MIGHTY GOD. WHILE THOSE WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE BETTER THAN THOSE THAT GOD AND JESUS CREATED US. IN THEIR IMAGE. WILL NEVER BE HEARD FROM AGAIN !! Just to share ,I met Elvis PRESLEYS Nephew in Australia 35 YEARS AGO, Said that his Dr said that it was not the drugs that destroyed him which he used in an attempt to wash away his pain. But problem was that not one ministered to Elvis to free him of the Grief and Trauma of his still born twin brother Jessie ( also means Jesus )) when he was born . Got his divorce papers same day his mom's died !! When Elvis and boys went to do their gigs. They would always start with a prayer. When gig finished they would play gospel songs till Sun up !! One night the bouncer said. YOU CAN NOT PRAY IN HERE !! ELVIS SAID. PACK UP. WE ARE GOING HOME. OOOPS. GUARD WAS HUMBLED. MAY GOD TOUCH YOU TO NIGHT IN A WAY THAT YOU NEED IT THE MOST. AND YES.

I saw him in the mid-80's when I was a kid in Dallas and I was behind the stage. He dedicated a song to a pregnant women below us and sang the whole thing straight to her.

The man is a genius sounds the same live as he does on the radio LEGEND

[@nuschlerclark895]

In 1975 his Hot August Nights tour sold out everywhere! We stood in the cold snow for 36 hours to get tickets. I’ve been to many concerts from The Doors, Janice Joplin to U2. But his concerts? WOW!!

[@Hooleo123]

He is an American classic. It breaks my heart that I'll never see another live show. He is always magnificent!

[@rockmegently4410]

I saw him in Seattle in the 80s-wonderful concert!

[@tonyp6076]

Still one of his best songs live, Neil is the best live performer hands down. Cannot wait to see him again in 2015!

[@tonyp6076]

Yes, I will see him Monday night as he stops here in Boston. Cannot wait.. He always puts on a great show.

[@garyhiggins5480]

Tony P 617 representing from the 808 clean and sober !!!! HOPE YOU ENJOYED

[@gentry222]

Maybe one of the greatest "crescendo songs" of our time.......and it stands the test of time. Rock on ND.

I think this is one of the coolest bassist melodies ever.

[@nikkif.409]

Good call, even though Paperback writer bass may be more complex. With this song I immediately think of Fiddler on the Roof with the bass, which I suppose is appropriate since Neil is Jewish. I realize in this live version that it is first a violin or possibly cello and then definitely a timpani doing the bass. The recording has a bass guitar. It is so simple but yet so powerful. I love how Neil sings his songs, like he believes so deeply in them.

[@nikkif.409]

Nope! My mistake! The recording I have sounds like drums and piano together creating the bass melody. You can't fault the man for being musical!

Neil Diamond's openness to so many diverse influences is I think a large part of why he has remained so prolific throughout his career. This is essentially a gospel song... I can't think of another Jewish gospel songwriter, can you? I remember hearing him sing "Brother Love..." with Johnny Cash way back and it was so right I can well imagine he might have been thinking of Johnny when he wrote it. I find it strange that "Holly Holy" is one of Diamond's less well remembered early songs because it always goes down well in karaoke bars where most of the audience haven't heard it before.

What a voice

[@alejandrobocskor4622]

Yo tenia 25 años...haaa..!!!! nunca pensé que de viejo lo estuviera escuchando y viendo en un video de youtube...ja ja ja ..esto es la maquina del tiempo..!!!

One of my favorite songs. In the 1976 Greek Theater Concert he sings it with so much passion and energy. He sings it so well here also! What a commensurate composer, vocalist, performer! 🥰👍
