Last night, Neil Diamond lit up the stage at Talking Stick Resort Arena, in Phoenix, Arizona. Neil still has a crystal clear voice, and a great catalog of songs. Neil started his Phoenix show with a funny anecdote, about how Phoenix always welcomes him with signs all over town that say:"Diamonds Back!" Neil proceeded to entertain 18,000 baby boomers and their kids, to all his classic hits. He finished the AZ show with "America," an emotional anthem, that contained slight political overtones. The then giddy AZ crowd, poured onto to the downtown Phoenix streets, where they enjoyed a rare cool desert breeze. Talking Stick Resort Arena is an immaculate facility, with excellent acoustics, adequate parking ($20), and plenty of Phoenix Finest, policing the area. The Stadium District also provides plenty of fun bars and restaurants to enjoy before or after a show. I'm giving Neil Diamond & Downtown Phoenix, AZ Five Stars!

Fantastic concert

I have been going to see Neil Diamond since he sat on a stool with a guitar and singing...no orchestra, no lasers, just pure tunes. I thought that was great but now with all the glitz and a fantastic orchestra and showmanship, he is even better. This was an amazing show at American Airlines in Dallas. Neil gave all and the audience loved and appreciated him and he was very humble and appreciated us back. We were so glad to have him come to our area and very honored by his presence.

Neil gave everything he had to a crowd of app 18 thousand. Their were moments the love shared between performer and patron were almost spiritual. Average age was above 50 but those under 50 were were singing along l and dancing to the music as though living when Neil made his music turn to gold. Highly recommend if you can attend the 50th show before it ends.

This was the most amazing concert Neil has ever given! I've seen him 4 times in Chicago and every time he's given totally of himself to his fans. This time he started with Cherry Cherry and sang all his old songs from his albums that are virtually unheard such as Jonathan Livingston Seagull. He did a 4 song finale for Chicago finishing with his biggest hits of Coming to America, Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show, Cracklin' Rosie, and of course a crowd favorite Sweet Caroline!

Fantastic performance. Packed house. Loved his audience and they loved him Saw several of his concerts over the years.... Getting better with age. Over two hours on stage! Average age of his band over 50. Professional musicians!! Don't miss this concert!!
