Neil Diamond - Solitary Man live 1971

Neil Diamond plays "Solitary Man" live in 1971.

[@annietash11]

My brother and I used to listen to this when my father and mother and aunt and uncle all had incurable cancer. Neil kept me alive through all these times. Afterward my brother and I fought in Grenada for Reagan and we were kept alive through the music of Neil Diamond. When my brother died I played solitary man with a high school marching band at his funeral. I love you Neil

[@patriciajrs46]

Bless you. Thank you for your service, all of you.

[@roberto0561]

That is so heartbreaking and at the same time so so powerful, thank God Neil Diamond existed just for you to get you through that tragic times in your life. I pray your still alive and can read this sms I’m sending you my sister, God bless you so much.😪

[@vitocassano3896]

Dio,,,,,tristezza enorme

[@lovemadness9291]

My mother also had breast cancer, she's the only person in the world who drives me crazy but she is also the only one who cares. The others don't matter. I served in Operation euphrates shield. Iraqi kurdistan, trench war in Turkey. It was Johnny's rendition that means the most but I always look back on the classic. Now I wander the world alone. Solitude isn't an art form , it's those who know the cost of what we have to do. All I want is an honest smile from a honest soul.

[@mitchtupelo76]

Beautiful story, thankyou for your service. Grenada was a bunch of crap, I'm sorry you got sent to such a ridiculous conflict.

[@cherrylm2]

If there was a contest for the most beautiful mans eyes of all time, surely ND would be the outright winner. Does anyone agree with me? If you do vote with a thumbs up

[@stevenmiller184]

The eyebrow lift at 2:39.. oh boy.

[@Maritza-wx1kx]

@@stevenmiller184 yup, I noticed it too and I friekin melt it.

[@renatatarnawski5974]

Did u know that he's known as the JEWISH ELVIS?? Really!!​@Maritza-wx1kx

[@carthageflaherty6247]

[@roberto0561]

I could listen to this man for ever and ever amen

[@bluessky1475]

Neil Diamond is not only a gorgeous man,he's an American Legend and Treasure 👍

[@kern39743]

it has taken the rock hall of fame until 2010 to induct neil i cant wrap my brain around that one,one of the greatest singer songwriters and entertainers of a generation

[@susanb2015]

Because they are idiots!!!!!

[@susanb2015]

Because they are idiots!!!!!!!

[@susanb2015]

The so called Hall of Fame is run by idiots. That is why

[@antonygilbey7987]

yes it makes you wonder, one of the old time greats

[@rusvaryag6172]

MY favorite by Neil. Simple, eloquent and powerful in music and words.

[@tomk3620]

Masterpiece!

[@robincarlisle4822]

Beautiful man - no one could ever sound like him

[@jennirobinson8372]

This is his BEST recording of Solitary Man. He sings with such passion, not to mention how handsome he is. You can see his soul through his eyes.

[@crystalblueice77]

This man has a soul beyond any other,,, his words and music touch my heart like no other. He is a very special and unique person, with words that express true feelings, and true reality. Neil you are and always will be ONE OF A KIND. Love ya lots.

[@johnm.evanssr8837]

I've been listening to Neil sing this song for 40 years now, and it's still one of the most beautiful, and feeling songs ever sung by anyone.

[@funguy4utube]

He wrote his songs with his heart ... and that emotion just pours out so honestly when he sings. I love all his songs.

[@vesnavukovic8289]

I feel as he heald my broken heart. ...

[@Ragnar06]

Smooth! Golden voice!

[@TheCalico72]

I love how the camera is looking into Neil's gorgeous eyes the entire time....omg cheat on that man? No freakin' way.

[@UNbowed62]

Word!🥰

[@TheWesgallagher]

33 years old and I love this old stuff !! You rock Neil !!

[@nolavout3025]

Brill, try tom jones ear!y stuff and simon and garfunkel, also bee gees

[@janeaustinadmirer]

He is so beautiful. If he were mine....I would have been faithful.

[@luvut]

Absolutely the best ! Love all of his music.

[@Darryl6636]

This could possibly be Neil's greatest performance

[@Universus.Official]

Wow, that is one of the most subtle, yet honestly emotional performances i have ever seen. Wow. The pain in his eyes, reaching out, is.....whoa.

[@fyxitman]

Who's here in 2019? Still the best music, back in the day ✌🏻

[@2lovemusic7]

Excellent singer. Live or recorded. These songs never get old. They are so special and my husband knows why. It's long past the time Neil Diamond should have been inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame.

[@malcommeful]

Scince I was 10 years old I have been listening to Neil Diamond songs,40 years later I am still mesmerise ( in a positive way ) by his music.Neil is in a class by himself.By the way I still listen to his songs every week-end when I am home.

[@JamesArtre]

Growing up in a small town on the outskirts of town, away from almost everyone and everything, I can relate very much so to this song. Enjoyed it very much when I first heard him sing it in 1967, still enjoying it today.

[@bobo7250]

I love this song and especially the man!!! He turned 70 years young in Jan 2010 and he is still the best looking man. I hope he does another concert tour next year cause he is even better looking in person!!!! I love you Neil!!!

[@kelliecarpenter2623]

A crystal clear voice in all his songs. "If I Didn't Know Your Name" is my fav. song I think. Hes a very genuine man.. . . .Nothing phony or pretense about ND.

[@cometkatt]

BEST concert i EVER attended was one of his :) he ROCKED the entire stadium for 3 hrs - awesome!

[@edlisinski4313]

I never tire of listening to this soulful tune!!

[@francesdemers8178]

I could watch him all day - those eyes - he was the best looking man I think I ever saw.

[@gunnerlinde8916]

Frances Demers mehr male.and married but i understand you.

[@nolavout9094]

Yes, incredible eyes, he was gorgeous

[@jackiemcmeekin6551]

A gifted composer, vocalist and performer. His music is “for all time and all generations.” The lyrics are passionate and introspective! Thank you so much ‘George Evangel’ for posting the lyrics. 🥰👍

[@flaschenkind78]

this is really one of the greatest songs ever. his voice is one-of-a-kind. and his eyes are soooo beautiful...

[@paulinemccabe6664]

I can’t imagine Neil Diamond being alone for very long,he had so many female admirers.

[@elhigh]

And THAT, folks, is what a real singer sounds like without lip synching. Saw him live in TN in 1987. Great show.

[@dbrew2u]

The best live version of Solitary that i have seen or heard actually. He doesn't jazz it up for the live performance. It sounds almost as haunting as the record.

[@nolicnotrut]

That has so much more emotion and sensitivity than commercially available recordings. They're good too, and can still reduce me to tears. It's a smashing performance. Thanks for sharing. You're a very fortunate person to have seen/heard this live. (Those tears I mention are GOOD tears!)

[@NormaChassagne-fp3co]

Neil Diamond, a brilliant, passionate composer, singer & performer. All his lyrics/music have always touched my heart/soul & brought me to a special place. The stories he tells via the beautiful lyrics/music relate to all generations. This true DIAMOND will always shine!!!!

[@NMalsberg]

Anyone who dislikes this is jealous of Neil's charisma and performance!

[@sylviahosman3783]

Neil Diamond is a diamond! Great song as only he can sing it.

[@eddied111]

Totally agree. Everyone has to have the best of everything right now. GREED. No patience - no love.

[@annsara43]

HEAR THE WORDS,,,,NEIL HAS NOT CHANGED OVER THE MILES,,,A TRUE SOLITARY PTIBATE MAN,,,,VERY TRUE TO HIS CRAFT

[@trevorbyron8181]

What a gifted singer...a true legend...all of his songs are beyond words

[@kapacon]

He's an incredible song writer. And his voice is full of emotion.

[@lancetop]

Man, Neil had it ALL! Supreme talent, stunning singer and songwriter, and to top it off--- he was a super handsome man! Actually he is still very handsome:)

[@Sasha1939]

His music remains magical - always will. No one wrote songs that were pure poetry like he did. This song is one of his best - along with "I am I Said", and on and on and on. He didn't do junk - raised "pop" music to a new level. Inspite of Elvis Presley. :>)

[@Bourgusmorg]

As great as he is as a songwriter, thank goodness he decided to sing those songs because he is an excellent performer and love his voice. He is an incredible gift to music !!!

[@dianalouisemaake8887]

Beautiful song ,Neil Diamond Beautiful

[@keith3443]

IF YOU EVER FIND A WOMAN THAT YOU KNOW IS THE ONE , DO NOT LET HER GO, YOU WILL KNOW IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!

[@58joana]

The songs were the ones we know. They are always the same, but the interpretation differs. This is for me the most heartfelt concert. It also helps that those producers, directors and cameramen at BBC are the best! (I'm not English)

[@ranchoboyeros]

Neil's songs are everybody's soundtrack

[@Mjij362]

Dit lied heerlijk,klinkt vreemd,maar de melodie zo zacht en intens, marian

[@fidelmamani8547]

Que buen gusto

[@nancyh6630]

all I can say is they don't make em like that anymore. Beautiful

[@laurasherman5147]

He can sing it with a cry in his voice...

[@user-iv7xp8cr9q]

He owns this . . . His voice just reached in. Wwwwwwowww! He is this song! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

[@TishDrakeMiz]

My 1st Real Love @ 17 yr old... this song came out... (1966) I was so drawn to him. He was married and 8 yrs older than me. Have Loved him all my life. Will, till I die. That's True Love.

[@Athensdiamond]

The Legend...The...Song...!

[@mach5895]

Maybe my first album ever was Hot August Night, as a young boy. A fan ever since.

[@SuperGrandlady]

Love this song, and the way Neil Diamond does the song.

[@user-rh8qf6je5m]

Young handsome and beautiful Neil. Loved his eyes. ❤❤❤. I dream of having Neil. ❤❤

[@schillaci1987]

and mainly the fact that had he not written the song cash and HIM wouldn't have sung it! there's no debate! neil's voice is probably lasting voices of all time, he still sings it perfectly and beautifully today! hero!

[@talcahuanochile]

que hermosos tiempo,cuando escuchabamos a NEIL DIAMOND,hoy gracias a los adelantos podemos ver estas maravillas de videos que suben ustedes amigos,gracias de un CHILENO.

[@robertchassaigna4594]

Now, this was Music!!!

[@Pahlko]

This performance is the best no matter what.

[@adityakantsharma]

Listening to him from 1980 or maybe 1979 I was 12 - 13 year old at that time I didn't know the songs iam listening many times a day will be connected tom me by becoming my own story . love you and miss you ma you have to leave me in this world I was six month old ,and amma my grandma who raised from then till she also went to heaven in 1980. .song like this became a story of mine . as he has sang in crackling Rosie " ain't nothing here to take along may be a song to sing when I want " . love you all

[@munecaanita5472]

My dad told me that when he came back from Vietnam this song was on the radio.

[@thumbs70]

First music memories for me- Neil Diamond= the father who went AWOL. Sod him- that was years ago but I still love the tunes.

[@francinesicard464]

Beautiful song, beautiful voice and the man my God, was/is so handsome!. Something very rare for an artist as far as I am concerned, each and every of his songs is wonderful!

[@carolynnaayem6251]

I agree, great singer and gorgeous!

Happy birthday Neil. Love this song and your music 🎉

[@carlbesola]

I love the use of the horns in the original version! And if this song doesn't sum up my life, I don't know which one would!!

[@johndayton3673]

I loved this song years ago with a girl that I was in love with. It is still a beautiful song today in 2021. Thank you Neil for your music.🎶

[@alvill48]

A lot of bands used horns in the early days of the 60's music n man it is good to hear them now. It was slick, groovy n cool.

[@shockyou07]

this song always makes me think. so true. brings tears of someone who played games behind me.

[@stevenmiller184]

This man understands how to make music personal. His phrasing is captivating. The very light and almost invisible female backing vocal adds adds to the chorus.

[@MasterBlasterMM]

The Best of the Best. Better than All the Rest.

[@micheletotton9342]

Never realised how damn good looking this man was ... and a really cool song to boot

[@fairybits]

Very good looking.

[@frogbutt11]

NO KIDDING! I heard this song recently after many years...beautiful song, voice, and man! Sexy beast.

[@canuckowl]

I'm a guy and I'm straight but I'm comfortable saying, yeah, he's pretty fine looking.

[@joycejones8238]

[@dbrinkm1]

Michele...you are not the only one who is enamored by Neil's good looks...look at the whole front row of Gorgeous beautiful woman who are also his admirers !. I am a man of Neil's age and can certainly relate to this whole scenario...LOL !

[@nolavout9094]

Best version ever, brill

[@dguyiop8]

Only recently started listening to his music a year or so ago. This is one of my favourite songs from the man himself. What an incredible songwriter!!!

[@josephinestabel9647]

The whole world loves that Man 😘🎸🎼 Amazing 🎵💙🎸💌

[@sarahleach9997]

so handsome with the voice of an angel warrior. cute....😎😎😍😍

[@harisjean85]

its a good compliment. serioisly

[@nicolavivarelli4127]

Masterpiece classic !

[@morgandude2]

OMG! Is this song a theme to my life or what? You can only write stuff like that with experience!!! It brings me to tears every time I hear it! It was a favourite of mine even before life dealt me so many heavy blows. Through that song, I know I'm not alone! Thank you Neil!

[@440trigger]

I found me that girl, but she slipped through my fingers and into the night. Years ago, but I still remember.

[@pallybanker]

Even after so many years, I am not tired of listening to this song. What a masterpiece ! Pallybanker

[@nolavout3025]

Music is a great healer, go into any alzeimers home and you will see it

[@MarieClaireBeckx]

I ♥️ this song of Neil 🦋

[@doreenlatimer6379]

Beautiful song and an amazing concert.

[@zeljanazivkovic1186]

Don't know that I will But until I can find me The girl who'll stay And won't play games behind me I'll be what I am A solitary man Solitary man...

[@theraven3481]

back when the world still had class..........

[@grevantime]

Truly an unappreciated talent.

[@grevantime]

My, but the Thought Police are still employed in 2017. Barry Manilow & ND were frequent targets of ridicule. By your logic, Justin Bieber is a great singer. I didn't know that a short positive review could be dealt with harshly.

[@Mjij362]

Wie kan zo’n mooi lied schrijven en zingen en iedereen in de hele wereld zo onder de indruk maken.liefs marian

[@Lynda5565]

That song, his voice are magic!

[@marjavanbekkum3448]

Still love this song ,what a great soul he is❗❤🌷💋

[@kir3txsbcglobalnet]

Superb song writer, incredible baritone voice, accomplished guitarist, and possessor of bushy eyebrows! But I like him.

[@geetasangha1]

Beyond words only to be felt!! But his Eyes Mesmerizing!!!

[@Bellinghamster]

Solitary Man is Neil's very first song he recorded in a studio and it is also his very best.

[@Brandy13231]

Thought Clown Town was his recording.
