Neil Diamond - I've Been This Way Before (LA)

[@sonia4641]

As a teenage I bought 2 Neil Diamond albums, the live Hot August Night and Longfellow Serenade, which contained this track. I've been grateful for all the other wonderful music In the world, but honestly, if I'd only had these two to sustain me through my life, I'd still have been blessed. The extent and depth of the music here, to dance to, to smile with, to cry with, is truly amazing. Still play them now, 50 years on. And am surprised to still be finding, through You Tube, early Diamond gems (pun intended!) that I've not heard before. He sang to 10s of thousands at concerts, he sang to millions over the years, but he always seemed to be singing only to ME! Being able to combine such intimacy with such massive performance is/was such an incredible talent.

The most beautiful song! Not played enough, but a true masterpiece! Thank you Neil for such a meaningful song. You are so gifted and we are so fortunate to have had the enjoyment of your gift!

This song touch the very deep of heart!!

I had the good fortune to see him in concert 10 times. Every time it was like I was seeing him for the first time. He appeals to the masses, very few artists can do this. He bares his soul and touches yours! I went to his concert the night I found out that Glen Campbell passed away. It was the best therapy for me. Never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I've always heard nice things about him. God bless you Neil and enjoy our retirement from touring. The world is a better place because you're in it!!; Thanks for the inspiration!! Rick Diaz tahoecitymusic. com

John Hylton, So very true, this man has given us a lifetime of music, and blessed us with his unique talents, and as the song says, I'm sure to be this way again, let us hope so, so that we can share his magic once again.

[@realdiamondshow]

Neil has been amazing in his career... but those notes are getting shorter and shorter... Enjoy this master live while you still can. His music and career will be remembered and loved for many decades, maybe more.

[@caroldavidson9133]

I painted a beautiful painting for Neil Diamond but I never got to send it to him and now that he is gone, I am heartbroken, I wanted him to have it but he is gone.
