Neil Diamond’s performance of “I Am… I Said” was an experience that defied expectations and left an indelible mark on my soul. I may pride myself on being tough and rooted in the edginess of rock ‘n’ roll, but witnessing Neil Diamond live was something truly extraordinary.
From the moment he stepped on stage, the energy in the crowd was palpable—an electric current connecting every person in the venue. When he began to sing those iconic words, “I am… I said,” the atmosphere transformed into something magical. People from every corner sang along in unison, their voices merging into a powerful chorus of connection and nostalgia.
Neil Diamond’s presence is magnetic, his ability to tell a story through music unparalleled. He doesn’t just perform a song—he lives it, sharing every ounce of emotion, joy, and longing with his audience. As the last note faded, I couldn’t help but recognize the depth of his artistry. A true showman, Neil Diamond doesn’t just command the stage—he makes you feel like you’re part of something timeless, unforgettable, and larger than life.
