I'm so glad these performances are on KZbin. Neil Diamond is good for my recovery from alcoholism. I thought he was good when i listened to him in my youth. Now at 73 i find him GREAT and SOULFUL Beautiful Noise, Sweet Caroline, Brother Love, I am Said I, Forever in BluevJeans. These songs are magnificent!

These are the best years of our lives. I love Tracy Chapman. I love hearing Neil DIAMOND doing one of her songs. He really puts his heart into it. God bless him and the fans who frequented his concerts.

Mr. Diamond's band is extraordinary too.

Yet again Neil Diamond shows us why he is so loved, cherished and admired !! Thank you for your music and sharing it with us at all your wonderful performances, we love you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mikesmycology7937]

I was this show. I was 11, and my parents took me and my brother. It was my first concert. Great memories of a simpler time.

[@DiannMelodyDunkley-sx2jr]

Neil Diamond is someone i always come to, especially when i feel disappointed with something going on in my life which is negative and Neil's songs are such a great way to recover from negative obssessing about people, places and things i can't do anything about. Whew, what a relief !!!

[@reginacondez1376]

[@franksmith6411]

Neil Diamond. Pours his heart and soul into every performance. I saw him just a couple of years later (1991) in Hampton, Virginia, in a different setting being in " The Round" revolving with band and pit orchestra ensemble. One thing is very prevalent in this show is how many times he makes his way around to sing to those audience members behind the stage. Very Classy. An interesting choice of his body of work. One I always loved is "If you know what I mean" as all the hits were done so well. Only one we didn't hear that I saw was "Play Me". But so many others that could have gone on for another hour. Diamond shows that he is the consummate entertainer. The entire package. Amazing band, sound production, lighting, body of work and most especially...he holds the audience in his hand from the moment he walks on stage. I thoroughly enjoyed my concert on my birthday treating my family. A night we will never forget.

[@LucidVideoGuy]

And the video wasn’t too bad either, no?

[@kathythompson889]

Again!! I will always love you Neil. I need to download the prayer app too!!!

[@DiannMelodyDunkley-sx2jr]

We really do need a "a new dream." Headed for The Future is an extraordinary song. Neil Diamond was a man of vision. That song plus America reveal a good part of his vision.

[@user-lb2fv9gx8z]

Get over the shirt😢 We love Neil’s singing ❤

[@ChildOfThe1970s]

Neil Diamond - the greatest of all time.

[@doglvr4lifeoc484]

Got that right! I just love the music and the moves. The band it ever so great too. Just a total superb show overall.

[@carol1585]

Absolutely

[@howardhegg5446]

I started going to Neil's concerts in 1972 at the Minneapolis state fair . This man really puts on a Super concert . He sometimes sings for two and a half hours .

[@garysmith5471]

My wife and I have seen Neil many times, and he never disappoints in any way. I hope he can keep performing and making albums till 80. Elvis was good, but in my book he will never touch Neil Diamond Plus, we can never forget that fantastic back-up band. I believe they are the best of all time. God bless Neil, the band, and all the fans..

[@tyreburster]

Gary Smith There is only a handful of the 1989 band on the current tour. Reinie and Linda Press, Alan Lindgren, Doug Rhone and Hadley Hockensmith are all retired. Vince Charles passed away a few years ago. On the plus side, King Errison, Tom Hensley and Ron Tutt are still there and vintage Diamond guitarist Richard Bennett has rejoined the line-up.

[@Annoyingbirds]

I'm a new fan of Neil diamond at 16-17

[@debnovotny2476]

I have been a fan of Neil since 1966 and have had the pleasure of 39 of his concerts- including the 40th Hot August Night in 2012 & my last one in San Diego in 2017 and I’m from Pennsylvania! I miss him very much! This Toronto one in 1989 is helping me remember the Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and D.C. ones I saw that year! Thank you for putting it out😍

[@reginacondez1376]

[@greenbeagle13]

Sadly, I only got to see one of his concerts back in the 1980's (Tampa, Fl), but I have NEVER been to a better concert. He was the best entertainer/performer I have EVER seen in concert, and he gave it his all - from start to finish. A true professional.... Love Neil Diamond.

[@joannconboy2838]

I have been to nine of Neil's concerts in.St. Louis but decided not to go to hos 50 year celebration concert then regretted terribly. Just after that he was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease.

[@paleland3206]

The band is such a compliment to Neil's performance. Tight fit. Always helps. No one better than Neil!!

Quess he's driven BT what some powerful source God perhaps as he is a devout Christian. Who knows. His time is now for privacy with his family. And a well deserved rest He needs to recuperate otherwise he'll never * Pass this way again* we will c him in concerts again. I know that believe me

I saw this show at the NEC, Birmingham, West Midlands as part of the European leg of the tour, 11 November 1989. I promise you the sound quality was first class. My ears were ringing for hours afterwards! I remember at the time being a little disappointed that Richard Bennett was no longer in the band. Hadley Hockensmith, however, made a very worthy successor.

I love Neil Diamond. Thank you for posting this it's raw uncut and unedited.

[@ChildOfThe1970s]

I agree that's a terrible shirt lol but Neil was a showman back in the day. He often wore shirts that were glittered or a bit eye catching. Not my style, but my love for his music far exceeds my opinion of his shirts.

[@pambrook3377]

Mmmm chuckling over ur comment. Neil chooses his shirts as the mood is. Mmmm not keen on shirt he has on in this concert but on a whole like his shirts in Australia when I saw him in the mid 1990s ( can't remember year) remember he wore a black shirt with green bits I think Had his son Jesse playing in band that night seem to remember. Only have seen him once. In Melbourne

[@user-sk1nw4td8k]

My guess is he dresses like that so you can't miss/lose sight of him on stage during the performance!!! ❤

[@DeiCiviAgape]

Yes, I too saw Neil Diamond at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium on February 11, 1989. My seat was in the upper corner behind stage right. When seeing him again on March 31, 2015, I had a ticket in the upper section at the other end from the stage; before, my seat was upgraded to the section across from stage right. Thanks Neil Diamond for exchanging that poor seat in 1989 for the excellent one in 2015. Very rewarding.
