what a song, one of those songs when it randomly comes on the radio, you just want to just take it all in, not heard a lot out here, just heard it today for the first time in 6-7 years on a Prince George radio station. Great song, thanks for posting
Always loved this song and video. The close up shots of each instrument and Keelor throughout the song are awesome. The black and white gives it an aura of cool as well. Great Canadian band, great song.
This song gets played a lot on chom, montreal classic rock station. I honestly didn't know this was blue rodeo, as i had only heard their later, more country stuff.
Just caught them for the 4th time, earlier this month. Until this concert, I'd never had the opportunity to hear 'Diamond Mine' live. It send shivers up my spine when Greg Keelor wailed out "And our love, shiines...like a Diamond Mine", at the beginning. They just keep getting better all the time. If you're a fan of this album, and haven't picked up their latest 'The Things We Left Behind', I highly recommend it. A real throwback to their late 80's sound.
crossfire6CAT, the 3 songs they played at the Grey Cup were *Til I Am Myself Again*, *Hasn't Hit Me Yet* and *Lost Together*. They didn't pick the songs, they were fan-voted. :-)
Truly is sad that we only get to hear what "they" want us to hear.
Most of it really is crap,in fact a band I don't even like "corn" did a song that I actually did like "not another hit single" pretty much says it all.Commercial radio blows.
Went to a performance in Brandon, Manitoba back in the nineties, back when Bobby Wiseman was still with the band...during his organ solo in Diamaond Mine, some dinosaur toys he had on his organ fell off. Without missing a beat, he continued playing with his left hand and retrieved the dinosaurs with his right, and carefully put them back into place. All was well in Bob's world. Wish the organ solo was part of the video. Great concert, great band.
I really think of my ex three years garald, some music strikes me to think of him,,i should try and put something in the a paper to see if i can find him,, he wasn't into phones, or the internet at all,,
Yep. Everything from Casino onward was too polished for me. Diamond Mine's the only album I'll ever have of theirs. The production's a bit rough/full of echo, and the material wanders off somewhat here and there, but that only adds to its mystique/atmosphere, IMO.
I live in Canton, NY, about 1/2 hr. from Canadian border, Cornwall, ON and we hear Blue Rodeo quite frequently...but then again, a lot of the stations we get are Canadian. So, never mind I guess
I can't understand why Blue Rodeo never gets played air down in the U.S. SurelyAmericans can grasp the beauty and simplicity of this rock band great lyrics, bad ass guitar beaucoup talent and humility, eh?
i agree with you vagabond, i am an american who got my first taste of blue rodeo while living in timmons, ON for a short time and i was hooked!they are terriffic and maybe its time they get on the airwaves in america and the world too.
I think I am going to send a couple of Blue Rodeo cd's to our local "alternative" radio station as a Christmas gift and then start requesting Blue Rodeo ever chance I get! I am also going to ask them when are they going to sponsor a Blue Rodeo concert down here (Indianapolis) - the perfect venue for them - mid-west pseudo western attitude. How about starting a grass roots movement?
I saw them do a small accoustic concert at a Barnes and Nobles bookstore here in Michigan about 12 years ago. there were 20 people there to see them. they played for about 45 minutes. fucking awesome!!! one of my favorite bands.
such a great song, builds just perfect and explodes.
Blue Rodeo , thank you.

This has long been one of my favourite Blue Rodeo tunes.
No other song I've heard in my lifetime has expressed the pain of love gone sour as well as 'Diamond Mine' does.
There's something about the Farfisa organ in the background too, that makes this song really give the nod to The Doors' 'Light My Fire'.
