Neil Diamond

In 2015, during his performance at the iconic Hollywood Bowl, Neil Diamond brought audiences back to one of his most poignant hits, "I Am... I Said," which originally appeared on his 1971 album, "Stones." By this time, Diamond had weathered an illustrious career spanning over five decades, showcasing his evolution as an artist. Notably, this particular live recording took place in a vibrant era of his career marked by nostalgia and celebration, reflecting his enduring connection with fans. Interestingly, the year before, Diamond released the album "Melody Road," a project deeply personal to him, filled with reflective storytelling that resonates with the themes of isolation and longing present in his earlier works. His live performances, including this one, always feel like a heartfelt journey through his remarkable repertoire, bridging past and present with every note.
