Neil Diamond: Live in Las Vegas July 1976

Full Concert from the Alladin Theatre in Las Vegas July 2, 1976. Obtained this video in a tape swap about 25 years ago. Professionally filmed but never commercially released. Missing the first part of Song Sung Blue for some reason. Wish the video quality was better but hopefully the audio makes up for that. Neil Diamond in all his 70's glory. Enjoy!

Neil Diamond is such a Humble man. Love Him. His songs come from his Heart and Soul. Right to our Hearts and Souls. GOD BLESS YOU Neil Diamond. Your a beautiful person.

[@garyogan894]

you call that humble!?!?!?!? ... woah ... dude seems full of himself if ya ask me.

[@rowanwestern3626]

I am sad that I'll never see Neil perform. I'm too young to have been around at the right age to get to a concert. This has been a fantastic recording. That voice is so rich and flexible. Talented beautiful man, filled with integrity for his followers. Thank you Neil for your entertainment and incredible songs

[@Ketterer75]

A Neil Diamond concert was something to behold! Saw my first concert ten years after this one when I was seven years old. Went to almost every tour until the last one. Miss those times and all the friends from all over the world we’d meet up with at those shows.

[@Hy-Brasil]

i can relate.... oh if i only had a time machine.... that's what i would use it for lol

[@skatpk9196]

My wife and I saw Neil Diamond in Vancouver, BC, Canada about 10 years ago. What a showman! He loves his audience. He retired shortly after.

[@ruthbooe3314]

My story and feelings are the same ❣️

[@user-zd9kz5nk5q]

I discovered his music when I was 4 years old and looked forward to seeing him in concert with the anticipation of a kid on Christmas morning. Finally, in 1976, at the age of 8, I was able to attend his show in Seattle. I’ll never forget that night. It was powerful, electric, and bordered on the spiritual. Saw him many more times up until he retired from the stage in 2017. He brought that same magic every single time. His music and impact are timeless. His music made my life better.

[@louisepoole6044]

🎼🎶🦋 I came from Jekyll Island, GA (USA) to Las Vegas in July 1976 just to see Neil Diamond in one of the concerts during Bicentennial week. I was at the July 3rd concert at the Aladdin....it was heaven to my 25 year old heart❤....I will never forget it...the gentleman is adored by the whole world....🦋💕 God bless Neil Diamond! 😊

[@bonniecleveland3470]

I'm sure Mr Diamond doesn't see these comments but I want to send you prayers dear man. Prayers for you as this ailment takes ahold of you. God bless you!!!

How exciting to find this. This was the most magical night. The first concert I ever saw. Neil was in fine form. What a night.

[@robinjung2937]

I have seen Neil Diamond perform about 7 times, I really wanted more, but then he announced his retirement because of a disease that he didn't deserve. But nobody should get. He's an awesome entertainment person, so humble and true of what I could feel about him. He's loving and caring. He really cares about his fans. In a strange way he remind s me of Elvis the way he strums his guitar. ❤😮😅

[@KayRichard-qi3ng]

In the early 70's my boyfriend at the time surprised me with A Neil Diamond concert....I was the young lady he kissed that night...My God the man could kiss...we did kiss 3 times...I would love to get in touch with my old boyfiend,but he has passed away...there was nothing vulgar or distasteful about the kiss....At that time I was a very beautiful girl..I'm sure my friend had him to look my way and locked eyes...been kissed thousands of time since then.....BUT nothing could every compare to the most sensual kiss I ever received...I was not at least star struck.,but after the kiss I've often wondered why men couldn't kiss like Neil!!!! .. . 😢

[@denissesaludymas]

Qué gran experiencia! Lindo gesto el de tu novio, espero que no se haya molestado. Sinceramente creo, que jamás olvidaría un beso de Neil Diamond, se percibe que era un hombre muy sensual, pero también muy dulce, con una mirada extraordinaria.

A teacher in Kansas, Betty B. played this same video (VHS) for us (I was maybe 18/19 visiting her with my grandmother). I thought it was a school choir when I heard Tap Root Manuscript's 'Missa' music playing. That bootleg got copied in short order and while the quality diminished, the thrill of it increased. What a double treat to get to view it again after all these years. I never knew what year (or place) it was from. Thank you so much!

[@skatpk9196]

"Solitary Man" hits me so deep and personal. I experienced it with a woman with those same names as well in 1974. I see he changed the name from "Sue" to "You".

I love Neil Diamond but when he was singing Sweet Caroline the backing singers really messed the song up one of the singers was way off beat and szngto loud❤❤❤❤

[@gtrrobster]

Naw.... that was by design. Giving a gospel feel, like the way Katie Kasoon sang with Van Morrison in the late 70s. Guaranteed, they were singing exactly the way Neil instructed them to do. He ran that show entirely. Just about every nuance of it. And regarding volume, that has nothing to do with the vocalist, everybody’s just singing the way they sing. The volume and the mix is completely dependent upon the engineers. That’s just the way it works.

[@solitaryman8602]

I've known about this concert for a long time but never seen the full version. Thanks Steve. I think this is an unofficial release because the mafia were trying to get some of the million dollar fee they paid Neil back 😊

[@Ketterer75]

I’ve long suspected this video was from a closed circuit to the casino hotel. I gathered the idea when the wife and I took a cruise twenty years ago and the TV in our cabin had a channel that showed all the shows that were occurring down in the theater.

I was at the July 4, 1976 show. There was only supposed to be three shows, but the demand was so big they added additional shows on the 2nd, 3rd and 5th. Not sure if there was another show on the 4th. The show I saw started around 8:00 PM.

Neil Diamond has been married three times: In 1963, he married his high-school sweetheart, Jaye Posner, who had become a schoolteacher. They had two daughters. The couple separated in 1967, and divorced in 1969. On December 5, 1969, Diamond married production assistant Marcia Murphey. They had two sons. The marriage ended in 1994, or 1995. In 1996, Diamond began a relationship with Australian Rae Farley after the two met in Brisbane, Australia. The songs on "Home Before Dark" were written, and composed during his struggle with chronic back pain. On September 7, 2011, in a message on Twitter, the 70-year-old Diamond announced his engagement to the 41-year-old Katie McNeil. The couple married in front of family and close friends in Los Angeles in 2012. In addition to serving as Diamond's manager, McNeil produced the documentary "Neil Diamond: Hot August Nights NYC". Diamond said that his 2014 album Melody Road was fueled by their relationship, explaining: "There's no better inspiration, or motivation for work than being in love. It's what you dream of as a creative person. I was able to complete this album-start it, write it, and complete it-under the spell of love, and I think it shows somehow."
