![]() ![]() The last time he was on tour and came to Boise, I was able to get really good seats, 9th row. I was thrilled! I was the 3rd person in the line. The tickets went on sale in April and his concert was in August. Talk about a long wait! But was well worth it!!! A local radio station was having a scavanger hunt and I decided I would try to win 1st row seats. It would be a dream come true. With the help of my wonderful husband and childern, I ended up finding all 7 items and won the seats!!!!! I was absolutley extactic!!! I called my 2 teenage daughters and they were able to make it to the concert also! They were so impressed! They have been to several concerts of young pop stars and see them only for 45 min. To have an "old" man up there for over 2 hours solid really impressed them! They enjoyed the concert and really shocked the people around them by knowing every word of all his songs! Me personally, I was in tears most of the time. I was only a few feet away from the man whose music has meant more to me in my life than any other singer has. He has touched so many people and I just wanted to add my thanks. I am so excited to hear he is coming out with another album and possibly going on tour. Keep on rocking, Neil, I love you and thank you, Twyla Knerr Wilder, Idaho 6-08-01 |
![]() ![]() I first saw Neil in concert in 1977 at Woburn Abbey outdoors - it was a magnificent English summer evening made magical with Neil's wonderful stage presence that has lived with me to this day. It was around the time when Love At The Greek was released and I bought that tape at least three times and wore it out each time. Thank goodness for CD's. I have seen Neil each time he comes to Britain and the shows are great - How about another outdoor event to re-capture that magic night in '77? God Bless You Neil and keep the shows rolling.

![]() ![]() Some thirty years later I am still moved by the music of Neil. His songs continue to speak to the heart and soul like very few others can. Neil has even inspired me to craft my own songs in a style similar to his. May he continue to write, record and most of all inspire listeners for many years to come.

![]() ![]() Like Neil I was Brooklyn born and raised until age 8, then moved upstate NY. At age 30 found myself living in LA and thought of the lyrics in I Am..I Said. Have seen Neil five times..Pine Knob, Cow Palace. The Forum (2x), and the "Pond" in Anaheim..home of the Mighty Ducks. Can't beat a Neil concert. Trying to convert my kids into Neil fans, but they won't budge...hardly have the heart to tell them that the movie "Shrek" ends with a Neil tune "I'm a Believer". Keep up the good work...would love some more original stuff...sing from the heart! Wes 6-03-01 |

![]() ![]() I am a loyal fan of Neil Diamond because his music makes me feel good. And a concert is the best thing in life. At his concerts you forget the troubles of the world. I attend every concert on the northeast coast, and I saw him once in San Jose, California. I am looking forward to his new CD being released in July. Pat Rossetti 5-25-01 |

![]() ![]() I am so happy to have the internet to be able to keep up with the various web pages for Neil Diamond. The pictures are great. I do have some from a concert I attended. His concerts are the best and hope I can see him again. Kathy 5-21-01 |

![]() ![]() I just want to say thank you for all the wonderful music you have sent our way. I've been a fan since the late 60's and have seen you in concert a mere thrice. The first time I saw you in concert, my husband and I traveled to Chicago, leaving our two daughters at friend's. The people around us said they were glad that they weren't sitting near some screaming, young, teens. Boy, were they ever surprised! It was my first concert and I saw you standing behind stage and I grabbed my husband and said, "Oh my God, He's here! He's really here!!!! I can't believe it! He's here!!!!!" My husband, being the reasonable man he is, said, "He'd better be here with the cost of the tickets, hotel, food and gas to get here." Then he laughed and said, "Just kidding, enjoy the concert, Honey. I'm glad I could bring you after all the years of waiting to see him." Right now I have 5 generations alive in my family and you have fans from every one of them! I would love to meet you in person, as would so many other people, just to shake your hand and thank you for all the wonderful music you provide. and the music plays on........

![]() ![]() Our first live experience with Neil was at the Winter Garden. My wife sat in the second row, right behind Carol Channing while I sat in row P, being blown away by his now famous Brother Love encore. We have now seen Neil live at least 25 times including the unforgettable appearance at the Brendon Burne arena where we first saw Jonathan flying across the arena. But the greatest memory of Neil for us, took place on a rainy foggy night at Forest Hills, when Neil went on almost 2 hours late because of the weather. NO ONE LEFT! When he finally took the stage, you could hardly see him, the fog was that thick. As the planes roared over at, it seemed about 50 feet, he put his hands around his eyes and peered out at us and said "Thank you for staying, I promise to try to make it worth your while." He uttered his now famous statement that if the weather held we would stay all night and if it didn't, well we would stay anyway.. then, with the fog rolling in and the planes thundering overhead, he proceeded to give the concert of a lifetime, the most unbelievable event we have ever witnessed. The eerie, surreal landscape coupled with the sound which seemed to echo off of the fog, all combined with the beauty of his music to make that night one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. We have been married for 31 years now and we still long for new N.D. music (all too rare now) to light a few candles, turn up the stereo and close our eyes to listen with our hearts to the greatest songwriter, singer who has ever been!

![]() ![]() Happy to see a site for the Diamond. I found this site searching for information on my new hometown: Diamondhead. Rhona Davis 4-23-01 |
![]() ![]() I hope he will tour Australia (and Adelaide) one more time at least before touring days are over at least mammoth ones anyway. I would like to say Thank you Neil for all that you have achieved over the years and I wish you more and more of the same in the coming years. Paul Jordan 4-20-01 |
![]() ![]() PLEASE do a project with classic jazz standards, or better yet, write some! My first DVD was your Greatest Hits and 'Teach me tonight' proved exactly what I thought, your voice and passion for expressing true emotion are perfect for that genre. 'Lady-Oh' also proves it. You and a saxophone are a match made in heaven. Make my dream a reality! Ever Hopeful, Sandy 4-16-01 |
