  • Great song!!!

  • Neil puts the cheese in macheesmo...

  • incredible. just fuckin incredible....

  • Neil..you suck!!

  • @011219551 Without a doubt in my mind, you..are..a..crackhead..and reality is way out of your reach....how sad.

  • @idiotradar1 You are obviously an authority on crack heads. It must take one to know one. It's good that you know something. A freak like you needs a trade in this world.

  • One of his classics, with his haunting voice!

  • The Jewish Elvis 

  • Yes, his eyes, his voice, his live performances - he's a beautiful man!

  • Neil is the best

Hope Mr. Neil Diamond will be here forever! and Neil if you should ever read this, thank you for your music....

  • Wonderful and Great Thanks Nel Diamond 

  • What great eyes this man has in this video.

  • ...not even the Chair..

  • Starker Song. Lost Generation-Feeling. Heimatlosigkeit, Suche nach Identität. Und der verzweifelte, aber abgebrochene Ausruf "I am..."

  • One of the best of the best. I've been to 3 of his concerts and was never unhappy. He didn't have an opening act, it was all him.

  • Damn! He's beautiful

  • BRAVO! and thank you Neil for sharing your music with us.

  • Por tudo isto e mais alguma coisa valeu os anos 70

  • he doesn't have to ask

  • neil is one of the best

  • shut up limey let him play

  • i'm lost between two shores

  • fantasic song

  • Neil's music better then any pill to sooth one soul.

  • Que voz linda e sublime interpretação, isso é tudo para quem ama a vida....

  • Amazing man with an amazing voice that has spanned decades. Thank you for posting this!

  • i cant believe it has taken 2 decades to realize Neil is Law :)

    The best ever known XX

  • He is seriously handsome in this video. A real man, even though he is only about 30 here.

  • Truly a legend in his own time

  • wow. serious childhood feel good memories coming back. I forgot how much i loved him.

    wish more modern singers would sing with the passion neil had for his music...

  • @cwolffgurl ++All we get is Biebers etc and that is why so many people come here to listen to good music with understandeble lyrics

  • he,s special

  • hou van hem

  • Neil, you were truly beautiful in this performance. <3

  • Thank you! I am is God Almighty.No Israel isn't alone read Zachariah14.

  • and hes still as hot as ever

  • Such a lovely man. Wish I'd met and married him when I was 18, instead of wasting time with ugly losers, who thought they were 'it', simply because they were male. It is true what 'they' say: " Youth is wasted on the young". Sad but true. x

  • Thanks wiggys top of the pops, you must have been down a simiar road. In my seventh year of sobriety, one day I came to myself.  Before that day, when I looked back, it was if someone else was living my life. So on that day I made an agreement with myself that no matter what I was going to live my life.

  • Anybody remember the movie he played in? I think it was about him? I still have 2 of his LP albums including (I think ) Jonathan Livingston Seagull one. I haven't gotten them out in years I think i will. Always loved him!

  • OMG! How great it is that you can look back in time to see how absolutely stunningly gorgeous and sexy this man used to be!  Yowee!

  • He was so darn  cute when he was young!!!!

  • OUTSTANDING.

  • I wish I had wrote that, 'cause I was sure thinkin' it  when it came out.

  • Neil is 70 now and still a beautiful Diamond! I love his music. No other artist can sing what's in my heart more that this man. This is one of my favorites along with STONES, SEPTEMBER MORN, HELLO AGAIN AND SHILO .

  • @777Key3 This song, if I may say, would be the one played at my funeral. It is so, so beautiful and really captures how I feel.

  • @wasteland70 then, the last 6 notes of inna gadda davida :-()

  • @777Key3 yes

  • @777Key3 you got that right

  • @777Key3  He will be 71 on January 24, 2012. Time passes quickly. He is a great talent.

  • This is an all time classic, a song of the highest rank.

  • @meconopsiscambria said so well, impressive

  • I interviewed Neil 15 years ago for a magazine article, and I have never met such a lovely, humble, pleasant chap. In his words "I was writing for The Monkeys, and one day I just got to wondering why I couldn't sing those songs myself"... I was brought up on Hot August Night, but it's not often your role models turn out to be so real. Unless they're rugby players, it would seem, right now - I'm a Kiwi with no rugger interest, but boy, the kids are right in there!

  • the dudes surname is fucking Diamond. how sick is that. He was destined. Genius.

  • ,,hard to believe this man was fully grown and famous the year i was born :) He is such a freaking beautiful artist and damn I love him!

  • wish i knew where i could get a free download of this for my computer. i so love it.

  • The eyes, the lips, the hair, the voice, the soul :D

  • I still love you and your music. Thanks so much xxx

  • essa voz adormece meu coração.. muito linda meu deus..ana sp

  • la's fine but it aint home cos i come from the falkirk town i am........

  • I AM I SAID... MADE NO DIFFERENCE FOR A WOMAN.

  • Thank God for videos! and Neil :) I just made a video on youtube of me singing this but its not as good as the the King.

  • Come to bed eye's.....

  • Oh my lord, those eyes! That face ! That voice! Hamanahamana, lol.

  • He's on record as saying he never, ever wanted to sing - just write songs. But he could never find anyone that could or would perform them to scratch. Thank God for that, eh?.....

  • FML

    

  • Damn if he was 30 then, the year I was born, I'm pushing 40 right now. That puts him at 70. Don't think you could ever get tired of hearing his music. Over and over and never want to turn it off.

  • wunderschön, auch nach so vielen Jahren. Es geht an die Nieren.....................

  • That was a fantastic emotional wince at the end.

  • The person who added the distracting, inane trivia needs a kick in the ass.

  • Oh my! Joe Jonas could play him at least with the eyes.

  • OMG! I remember listening to him when I was a little girl. He is GORGEOUS! And WHAT a VOICE!! HOLY MOLY!!! WHO said FROG??? If THAT'S a frog...........then CROAK CROAK CROAK!!! LOL

  • The song that turned me into a Diamond fan forever..Amazing singer and songwriter.

  • feel the power of the man behind the guitar

  • Great Song....he had so much hair back then..i heard he once had a wasp nest in it and didn't even realize!....The things you hear..

  • @Aromaticduck That is really funny! LOL

  • A flawless Diamond voice of Neil Diamond's singing with pure natural emotion of harmony... one of the best ever.

  • A flawless Diamond voice of Niel Diamond's singing with pure natural emotion of harmony... one of the best ever.

  • pure class,muci to my ears and pleasure.

  • I had a GF who actually would get hives if she listened to much of Neil. It took me a long time to realise that it was because he is full of karmah. That means he most likely was a total a-hole in his last life. Even though a man tries to change, it doesn't mean that people will cut him any breaks. Maybee that's how it has to be. But I think Neil really is repentant, and yearns to be brought back to the world that once was his, and he is not faking this shit.

  • @sadcracker what a load of rubbish lol

  • @rosimck7 I know,lol. I still don't believe that she actually broke out in hives when listening to Neil Diamond, but if it came on the radio she would lunge after it as if it was a grenade about to go off. She never said she actually hated Neil Diamond. But she seemed to be sincere that she could not hear too much of it w/o painful consequence. I kid you not, Neil Diamond was to her like criptonite was to superman.

  • one of the best songs of alltime great music

  • Flawless

  • A Diamond!

    He is the such a personal favorite of mine! He is such a real and raw soul! I started loving him at such a young age and here today I can always listen again and his music is like a comfortable old friend! His diamond still shines bright and lives in so many peoples heart. Thank you for this. This is so soothing,

  • most excellent!

    

  • People who leave rude and nasty comments are just jealous of Neil's sexiness. And if they aren't, well, they should be.

  • @MWils641 lol ok woman whatever

  • hes a f@#$ing legend

  • I've loved his music for years but this video is just so pretty! Boy was he handsome!

  • he makes a face at the end when he makes a false note...real musician!

  • Even though most of his music is removed from the sphere of what I like, I have always thought that he has had by far the truly greatest voice amongst all. This is a fantastic song.

  • He's awesome. Im glad I saw this as I had no idea how great he was when he was younger.

  • Great song and performer, one of the best live performers around.

  • LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

  • All time best singer/songwriter/performer...­!

  • la mejor cancion de neil diamond !!!!hermosa!!!!!!!

  • una voz muy hermosa y la cancion es un recuerdo muy popular que nos hace ,recordar nuestras vivencias ,,lindoooooooo!!!!!!!

  • This song was on the original recording of HOT AUGUST NIGHT released in 1972 recorded live in concert at THE GREEK THEATRE LOS ANGELES U.S.A.

    MCA records MCLDD 19042 double cd.

  • I was once referred to as a Frog, as I indeed am. However, I have been kissed by a Princess and live I enchanted as a King.

  • Beautiful song,stung with beauty and peformed with an eloquent sensitivity

  • Of corse he's a frog, haha. Just kidding, He's one of the greatest singers of all time. I saw him twice and I was so surprised how great his concerts were. This is one heck of a powerfull song that shows his ability as a great singer. Thanks Neil, Bravo!!!

  • Each song of him is a hit! As this one!

  • I have this song on a couple of Greatest Hits albums I have,but does anyone know what album this song was originally on?Great vid by the way!

  • Can't wait for the 11th of April! Although he is not as young anymore,he is still Neil Diamond,and he still sings this song with so much emotion! One of his best,if not the best! Hope he will enjoy his tour in our country!

  • wow ..powerful.. stuff

  • This song makes me depressed and melancholy, yet it is beautiful! Beautiful old time!

    See you 07.06..2011 at Berlin!

  • NOW AND EVER I SING YOUR SONGS OF LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!AND MY HEART IS WITH YOU. DEAR..NEIL ! IM FROM ARGENTINA... A LOT OF BEST WISHES TO YOUU.!!!!!!!

  • I just realized that Neil Diamond songs are not being sung by the singers of today or even in contests like American Idol. I think his songs are so beautiful. This is the definitive Neil Diamond song for me! Brought tears to my eyes.

  • Most beautiful and touching song! So young and handsome! Life is indeed 'Done too soon'!

  • I want that shirt

  • GREAT SONG OMW!!!

  • Lieder zum Träumen, tolle Stimme,

  • His wince towards the end of the song really sinks his emotion into my heart.

  • he wrote this---his hardest song to write he says...either during or after therapy-my memory is sketchy at moment.It was about a very dark emotional period in his life.And a song that fought him every inch of the way to get written.

  • @gilmancrush It's a song about making it to the "top" and finding out you're still lonely even though you "made" it....beautiful song!

  • y dont people speak whats on their minds anymore real emotions is what people want to hear and this guy is the last 1 that did and i think because its now about looking good being in the right place cause any1 in the music industory can make u money these days

  • it is interesting to see that the man had good taste in acoustic guitars,theguitar he is playing is a hand made gallager guitar from wartrace tennesee,this guitar was made for more traditional music,like bluegrass,just an observation.

  • WOW!! What a voice.

  • He is noooo frog! He is a sexy, handsome man who is super georgeous and has a fabulous voice. Love him and all the beautiful music he writes and sings.
