[boruff68]

[pappy15445]

[deniniano]

Grandioso!!!!....uno de mis artistas favoritos de mi infancia!!...

[DavidEberhardt]

Thank you. I just added this to my Top Favorite Playlist.

[erwinguenther]

Is that Greg Brady?

[ranjanchadha]

Taking nothing away from Niel...but this can never be as good without the band and they show nothing. not even a millisecond of the other musicians...ego tripping is ONE view..

[XXPumaboyX]

the man!!



[JDean1953]

My all time favorite ND song! It really touches a nerve.

[sixtieswarbler]

Love video. Buying DVD this week as it seems to be the best one of that era. His voice in the 70's and his looks were incredible. Going to see him in Glasgow in July- so excited!!

[Mihnea90Teo]

i know this song from  stargate atlantis lol

[mondosci]

Real music stands the test of time. Don't worry about what "kids today" seem to be attracted to. Most of today's fake music is just gimmicks and electronic sound effect tracks. Not to worry . . . go with what inspires emotion and thought. It does not matter "when" something was written or performed, it is "what" was written and performed that matters. Real talent is always recognized . . . from whenever it was created.

[sophsmmy]

My kid ADORED this song and knew all the words when she was 3!

[surferjoe36]

Neil Diamond is God...enough said

[kokola056]

[tonywalsh69]

[barsve94]

o.m.g nice pant's!!!!

[eyeluvmusic]

beautiful song

[videosbyMaxim]

great song. great performance. thanks for posting. check out some maxim videos.

thanks for watching!

[Skinhead5000]

great song, even if i prever johnny cashs version...

Neil Diamond: really great musican and great song!

[dawnjakeleah]

He can't help swinging his hips - neither could Elvis. what is wrong with you? He doesn't care about being commerical.

[katsfanman]

SUPER SOUND QUALITY SUPER SONG !

[tobama08]

omg really??

this is how Neil comes to this interpretation???

If he would stop "swingin'" his so - called hips

and just SING this song the way he can and SHOULD it

possibly would STILL be a classic of his. Instead he commercializes

it... what a damn shame. He will never sing this better than his first version

nobody, not even he can top the incredible, wonderful original.

What a shame. Instead of his (Neil Sedaka's) song getting better;

it withered away.

[MrLoomboy]

Absolutely the best ever!

Love ND

[garda611]

its been a year since my divorce, and it still sucks and i still miss my ex

[caxalinka]

hang in there, it'll get better! I wish you to meet a special someone and never hurt again!

[f49YHKpr]

Great as uplifting an experience as it was 40 years ago when I first heard it.

Can anyone post Suleiman by Niel Diamond

[iforgot42]

Anyone that think he is gay he has gotten more tail then all of us put together

[tubernua571]

someone please tell me the crowd shots are from the mass they held before neil diamonds gig because they're the most un-frenzied crowd I've seen

[acdeucee]

Love the part when He slightly turns his head and the wind gently blows his hair back at ...1:00..Looks like a beautiful night

[mickeykozzi]

sounds gay

[begothic2]

i love HIM and neil diamond song

both are amazing xD

[juanqui1963]

great song...great music

[ALICIAYUSOSYCOSTUMB]

grande como siempre

[deepbooka]

THE BEST!

[Johnlovessteph]

Its Amazing! Because I Am 17 And I Love ND And The 60s-90s :D Its How I Was Brought Up! I Wish Kids Could Actually Appreciate This Type Of Music Or Any Older Music For That Matter (: Kids Are Dragged Up Theses Day, And It Annoys Me! <3 I Wish I Was Born In The 60s, One Of The Songs That Will Be Loud In My Car (: <3

[Foxyjoshi]

I just got the dvd, it's great!! The bonus material is exceptional, especially the on stage commercials. Thanks Eaglerocktv for bringing this concert to my attention.

[isa0005]

@Johnlovessteph OMG SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! although you'd be 18 now hahah

[Chooch249]

@Johnlovessteph That's the magic of Neil... ever been to a ND concert? Packed with everything from middle agers to senior citizens to teens dressed like they are going to Ozzfest. The line in "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show" pretty much sums up an ND concert audience.. "pack up the babies and grab the old ladies, everyone goes...".... great music has no expiration date!

[ShadowZr0]

@Johnlovessteph you are correct, it is the msic you are raised listenning to i love the oldies, cause my mom is always singing these songs and playing the on the computer, i cant listen to todsays crap, btw i happen to be 14 and still love this xD

[HondAudio]

STOP TYPING LIKE A MORON

[shutterbugk8]

Neil Diamond, musical genius, the Mozart of our time.

[BradPhillips]

I love Neil, but that may be a bit of a stretch...

[hugopal]

I read somewhere that the drummer from the bangles fit into those leather pants perfectly.

[MethinksThouDoth]

So sad, so true, and so beautiful--a song that demonstrates what a lot of true men and women feel....

[WallysMagicside]

mhm ... geiler hüftschwung

[jonchic2002]

Can anybody explain me why an excellent singer, with a beautiful voice as Neil, has been forgotten?

[hrtoflove]

You are so right. How could anyone forget a handsome and sexy man with a fantastic voice on him? It is beyond me. I loved this man's talent in the past and still love him.

[rickheft]

song say's johhny cash!but it's neil diamond? bad typing or what?

[mdmaya61]

Excellent charismatic performer. Incredibly sexy too.

[p351]

once youve heard johnnys version nothing can beat it. though this aint too bad neither, i mean its his song isnt it?

[acdeucee]

An uproar and a fenzy ,this song spurs within me. !976 was the year to be free. And I was... with Neil in my dreams.

[beefking69er]

the mans a legend

[Miky5full]

Hermoso, que mas se puede decir. Alguien puede decirme donde puedo bajar sus viejos temas?

[pazdomin]

EN ARES APARECEN BASTANTES

[Incudius]

This song has been done by so many others but is one of the few of ND's covered songs that he does the best.

I really like the late Johnny Cash's version as well.

[jakob61]

good old neil!!!!!! love your music Thanks Jakob.

[acdeucee]

I think this sounds better live.

[XveganX90]

HAHA HIM oh leeee to that

[blowme81]

who's HIM never heard of them.

[oki34]

you need to hear Johny Cash

[mguffee]

many times I felt that this song kept me focusd

[wickedgame26]

respect to neil diamond!.., but HIM sure cover the song good,, HIM cover version are great especially for young people, Afterall HIM are 1 of the greatest rock n roll band ever exist.

[n2motocross]

Fantastic! A unique, beautiful voice.

[kitelicker100]

Better by HIM.

Ville Valo ROX!!!!

HIM is the best band ever

[daionman]

But still this man is the one who wrote it...

[unfluster]

The first three quarters yes, but they totally fuck up the ending- sorry.

[cocalarusFM]

yeah dude you're right HIM rocks

[snifferenator]

Ironic isn't it? when most of the Band HIM were still in the womb, Neil Diamond was singing Solitary Man, respect.

[voltronpub666]

so true so true

[Iriatv]

Ville H. Valo from the Finnish band HIM also does this song..It's so good when ville sings it ....for the younger women or the women who love younger men..it's a must to see..!!!!

[EarlBowen]

did peter faiman direct this???

[malcolmiddle]

a must purchase dvd for neil,s fans."superb"

[VolkersJohan]

Neil's performance on Hot August Night remains superior to other performances.

[malcolmiddle]

i,ve just bought this dvd.neil in top form.brilliant.

[yielza]

there is not a bad version of this song there all so different its great.Neil diamonds is great HIM's version is a modern rock taste chris isaaks is at his balladeering best but i think Johhny cashs version is the best

[Anag2080]

I agree Johnnys is the best but i like neils as well havent hears HIMs dont plan to.

[hispoisongirl36]

i agree, but I like HIM's more because thats what made me like and appreciate this song...yeah, i know i'll get thumbs down but i dont care..lol...btw, johnny's is amazing...

solitary man<3

[mebloke69]

neil sounds WAY MORE tragic than any others who try to be "Solitary Man"

[drking9313]

i kno ppl are gonna give me shit about this. but i only came to hear the original i guess of H.I.M.'s cover of it and i like theirs better.

[adelle1939]

I love neil Diamond,,,,he's beautiful,,,,,but,, listen to chris Isaak sing this song,,,,,,,,,thats my message

[talcahuanochile]

excelente video,de que año corresponde.

[skyman90210]

So how and where do I buy this, and will it play in American DVD players???????

[rslitman]

Yes, it's a U.S. release. Click on More Info in the description box to find a link to get it at Amazon. I bought it in a Wal-Mart store but would have ordered it from either Amazon or Borders online if I hadn't found it there. (I live closer to a Target and tried that one first but didn't find it there.) Wonderful show! You won't be disappointed.

[wonsworld]

I watched this on telly back when it happened. On our black and white TV too. Its good to see it again and in colour. The front of that "mosh pit" had anyone and everyone who was famous at the time and included Gough and ABBA. It was the biggest thing of its time.

[moofie16]

HIMs cover version is so much better

[reggenboggen]

Poor child ... Ville Valo is nothing more than a poser. Sooner or later, you'll find that out yourself. Then it might be the right time to discover the great ... Neil Diamond.

[Anag2080]

lol

[acerb45666555]

sweeet!!5*****

[skyman90210]

How I wish I could get this DVD in America (that would play in my machine). Any way to get all of it from you here?

[rslitman]

I think the release being pushed here (from Eagle Rock) is for the U.S. market. I can't wait to get it, if it is.

[eaglerocktv]

It is for both US and European, yes.

It is out early July, but is available for pre-order on Amazon now.

Thanks

[reddirtgirl55]

Wow! Sex on legs!
