I saw Neil Diamond live, now I'm a believer

[ComeIntoTheGardenMaud]

He was brilliant and I am now listening to Play Me on a loop. That's all.

::holds lighter aloft::

ah, I see

I have been unashamedly a fan all my life (although maybe not always a particularly outspoken one )

do you really have the I'm a believer t shirt? I was tempted, and if they had had one in a women's fit, woudl have undoubtedly purchased one... am very

I did boost my mug collection though and am now officially a "Diamond Girl"

I have just gone and put on the t-shirt in your and Neil's honour, silverfrog. It's not a bad fit although it has that annoyingly high neckline common to most band t-shirts.

::thrusts chest at screen, for you to see::

Hi Maud! I love Neil D, as previosuly discussed, but did somebody mention Bazza D?! I utterly, utterly, UTTERLY heart Barry Manilow. Saw him in concert years ago and he was amazing. Nobody does a keychange quite like Bazza....

ooh, suits you, Maud (can I call you Maud?)

very nice.

::preens::

Please do call me Maud.

As a great fan of the Ukulele Orchestra of GB, I love this, but .

Oh no. I killed the thread.

oh I bet he was good

Aha. Another keeper of the flame. What are your Diamond credentials, 2shoes?

none I am afraid I just like him and appreciate how good he is

he was ace, 2shoes

at the moment we are watching bbc 2 and I am loving it.
ND is so talented I would love to see him live

Those are impeccable credentials, 2shoes.

I love the UOGB, silverfrog, and have found fellow fans on MN, but was worried you might think that version was sacrilege.

weeeelllll, clearly not a patch on Neil, Maud, but then again - anyone who sings Neil Diamond must have class, surely?

2shoes - next time, go and see him. definitely. he was so brilliant.

I dragged dh along, and even he was up and dancing by the end of it...

The lovely Neil did say he'd be back, God willing, in 2012. Or perhaps he said 2013. It was difficult to hear above all the sighing.

I didn't take my dh as I knew it would not be his cup of tea. Instead, I had four friends vying for the other ticket.

Did you know that the man himself is on twitter?

::public service announcement::

I am so envious of those of you who have seen ND live, i love all his music and would jump at the chance to see him.One of my favourite tracks is " girl you'll be a woman soon " i just love it.And my fav album of his is " hot august night "

I follow him on twitter

As ever, 2shoes, I'm the last to catch on.

This is a very haunting song ,its beautiful.Hi 2shoes glad to see you have old you back

DH and I got tickets to see him as a wedding present back in t'1990's! He's just FAB!!!

I hadn't heard that song before, mummylin.
