Neil Diamond

Before his live performance of 'I'm A Believer' in Bakersfield, Neil Diamond released the album 'Three Chord Opera' in 2001. This album marked a transition for Diamond as he explored a more contemporary sound while still holding onto his signature storytelling prowess. Interestingly, 'I'm A Believer' is originally a Monkees hit, but Diamond's rendition has become iconic in its own right. The live recording showcases Diamond's enduring appeal and his ability to connect with audiences, even as he transitioned into the 2000s era. By 2001, Diamond had built a legacy filled with emotional hits, and performing in Las Vegas—a city synonymous with entertainment—was a testament to his status as a music legend.
