The Diary of Fiona J McNally

Neil Steals the Night

Recently I had the pleasure of seeing Neil Diamond in concert. I was happy to see that he hasn't lost his touch despite the fact that he is well into his sixties. He came across as a very joyous human being and very much in love with what he does. He connected with the audience without having to be repetitious or bore them with inane stories.

The only drawback of the evening was the duet he sang with a back-up vocalist. She managed to murder Barbra Streisand's parts in YOu Don't Bring me Flowers. Oh well, you can't have everything.

Long live Mr Diamond.
