Neil Diamond.........


Okay, so I've never been much of a Neil Diamond fan. Although I think he was great during The Band's "The Last Waltz" concert, I never bought any of his records. Then a few years ago, at my wife's urging, I reluctantly went to see him in concert. Wow !!!....he was sensational, and I've since learned to really respect him as a singer.

Well, I recently purchased "Home Before Dark," his latest CD. It may very well be the best male vocal recording I have ever heard. It is simply fantastic, and through my Rotel/Rogue/Vandersteen system, it sounds as if he is absolutely "in the room." The songs are terrific, and the recording seems perfect. How do you guys and gals feel about this album ?

I saw Mr. Diamond in Chicago in 1971, I think; it might have been 72'. It still serves as a measuring stick for every other concert I see.

FYI, If you're in town, please don't miss "Jersey Boys". Great Fun!
There is two albums by him called Gold.
One is a hits compilation and the other is the marvelous live concert
Have you heard his Taproot Manuscript?? Its his take on African music as is done like an opera
