Neil Diamond

Before the live recording of 'Forever in Blue Jeans' in 2001, Neil Diamond had released his album 'Love at the Greek' in 1977, a vibrant collection that showcased his powerful stage presence. By this point in his career, Diamond had already established himself as a pop legend with a string of hits, including the iconic 'Sweet Caroline.' Interestingly, the song 'Forever in Blue Jeans' was co-written with his longtime guitarist, reflecting the strong collaborative spirit that he fostered throughout his career. This live performance in Bakersfield not only highlights Diamond's exceptional talent but also captures the heartfelt connection he has with his audience, making each show feel like a personal experience. The recording stands out as a testament to the enduring power of Diamond's music.
