Neil Diamond

In October 2017, Neil Diamond performed 'Holly Holy' live at The SSE Hydro in Glasgow, a testament to his enduring legacy in the music world. This performance came during a pivotal part of his career, shortly before he announced his retirement from touring due to health issues. Interestingly enough, just a year prior, Diamond released the album 'Melody Road' in 2014, which showcased his ability to weave rich storytelling and emotional depth into his music, a hallmark of his style throughout his career. 'Holly Holy' itself, originally released in 1969, has long been celebrated for its soulful resonance, and this live rendition in Glasgow allows listeners to witness not just the nostalgia but also the passion he brings even later in his career. Fans who gathered on that night surely felt a mix of joy and bittersweet reflection, knowing they were witnessing one of the last performances from a true icon.
