Esplanade last night and Neil Diamond


The evening’s biggest draw, though, was Neil Diamond, who appeared early in the evening for a jaunty one-two punch of “Cracklin’ Rosie’’ and “Forever In Blue Jeans.’’

He waited till the national broadcast of the festivities began before he busted out the big guns. It’s one exciting for 40,000 people at Fenway to sing “Sweet Caroline’’; it’s another entirely to hear about a half-million holler “So good! So good! So good!’’ at the top of their lungs.

Diamond did what anybody would do during the brief break: He launched into the song again. If anything, the “bap ba baa’’s were even louder when nobody at home was listening.

Neil Diamond Quatations

"It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier."
"My voice is unadorned. I don't try for perfection. I try to be honest and truthful and soulful with the voice I have. If I make mistakes in notes, or there are cracks in notes, I don't fix them. That's the way it is."
"Because my musical training has been limited, I've never been restricted by what technical musicians might call a song."
"I've always thought of music as something which gives the words their flight and their wings and the music often comes first, although sometimes I'll have a concept, a title idea, a lyric idea that I want to write and the lyric will come first."

Introduction to Neil Diamond

Neil Leslie Diamond was born in January 24, 1941. He is an American singer and songwriter, born in Brooklyn, NY.

From 1960s to 1980s, Diamond was one of the more appealing pop music artists, scoring a number of hits. As critic William Ruhlmann writes, “as of 2001, he claimed worldwide record sales of 115 million copies, and as of 2002 he was positioned third, following only Elton John and Barbra Streisand, on the list of the most winning adult modern artists in the history of the Billboard chart.” As of May 2005 he has sold 120 million records globally as well as 48 million records in the U.S.

while his record sales turned down to some extent after the 1980s, Diamond keeps on to tour productively, and keep up a very loyal subsequent. Diamond’s songs have been recorded by a enormous collection of performers from many different musical kinds.

Diamond was introduced into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984, and then in 2000 was given its Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award. He has been entitled for initiation into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame since 1989, but has thus far been mistreated.

In 2008 Neil Diamond achieved his first ever Billboard number one album with “Home Before Dark”, the album also became his first studio album to achieve to number one in the UK.
