I can't believe it's been 50 years since "Love at the Greek,"maybe Neil's greatest concert. I was at that concert in '76 and you can be sure I will be at this one. The music of Neil Diamond lives on in the hearts and memories of all of us. I know it won't be Neil playing, but I've seen videos of Forever Neil and I know they will do justice to the music.
I am so excited that Neil Forever is coming to LA! A close friend saw them in Indiana over the summer and said it’s a must see. Growing up, my parents were huge Neil Diamond fans and saw him in concert several times. I can’t wait to be transported back to my childhood!
Recently saw this band as part of the summer concert series in Fishers, IN. While the music was good, the lead singer lacked swag and seemed to try too hard when singing most of the classic Neil Diamond songs. He was on pitch most of the night, but the showmanship did not match the show. So many times, I wanted him to stop talking and just perform, rather than just walking back and forth and singing the lyrics. It was clear he was not use to being on stage. The girls sounded very good and the one who sang "You Don't Bring Me Flowers"far surpassed the energy and stage presence as the lead singer. All in all a good night of Neil Diamond music, but I really wanted to be involved more and feel a connection.
Pleasant night listening to Neil Diamond music. The house system was loud. The production overall lacked professionalism in showmanship and chemistry. But it was good
1st time at this venue and my last. Sound system was awful and the drinks were incredibly overpriced for a bar band.
So Neil Diamond's music is GREAT! Any good band can uplift an audience regardless of the singer. But what you CAN'T do, is say you are replicating a true Neil Diamond concert experience and fall far short of the mark. At no point did we feel we were at a Neil Diamond concert. There was No Chemistry at all between the lead singer and the band. Many times they drowned out the vocals. The lead singer was good, but I'm sorry he does NOT sound like Neil Diamond. NO ONE sounds like Neil Diamond. As far as showmanship is concerned, there was none. It was a night of Neil Diamond songs and it was good. But for what we paid, it should've been ALOT better
We love Neil Diamond and absolutely love the Broadway Show "Beautiful Noise". We are Red Sox season ticket holders as well. If you are going to come to our town you need to be EXCEPTIONAL. This show was no where NEAR it. Band was WAY too loud and too much. The lead singer wasn't even close to the sound, the style, the charisma or the charm of Neil Diamond. He didn't hit the low notes on many songs especially "Cracklin Rosie"or any high notes. He would point the mic to the audience and let them sing it. No classic guitar intro on "Forever In Blie Jeans"and Didn't sing "Beautiful Noise". The lights and screen just seemed to be something thrown together. Some songs were good, but we can hear this at any cover band bar for A Lot less money than what we piad here. We have seen 2 other Neil Diamond Tributes that far exceed this one. The only thing worth mentioning that sounded good was the background girls, when you could hear them. They were much better than the lead singer. He just seemed like he was pushing too hard. Very dissappinted.
The band was fantastic a d the lead singers voice sounded just like Neal!
Really wanted to enjoy this Neil Diamond tribute, but it missed the mark. The lead singer just didn’t capture Neil’s voice or presence — mumbling at times and lacking energy. The band was way too loud, overpowering the vocals and making it hard to enjoy some of the songs. I will stick to going to Red Sox games to hear Sweet Caroline!
Very good show. Man who performed as Neil was very well suited to the part; sounded a lot like Neil. Good back-up band. Didn't care for the crowdedness of the venue; tables were very small, with tiny, hard chairs. not comfortable. Fortunately, it was not sold out, so we could spread out a little. Overall, good night out; liked the show.
