Whilst a lot of comments are aimed at comparing Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley, think about this, at the time of this concert, September 1976 Neil was 35yrs of age, at the height of his abilities as a performer, singer, songwriter, he was in all respect the biggest music star in the world, Elvis was 41yrs old, a mere six years older, and should have been in the prime of his career, he wasn't, he was battling severe health worries, his star was waning, and sadly, a year later he would be dead, the comparisons are being made against the later years Elvis, who, lets be honest, couldn't hold a candle to Neil Diamond at that time, this really is a non debate, and it is frustrating that many Elvis fans are loathe to admit, their hero was a victim of his own excesses, I read a comment from someone, stating, "If Elvis had of been more like Neil, and I interpret that as conducting his life more like Neil, he would not have died when he did, and may still be alive today, I have immense respect for Elvis, as a singer, performer, and as a man, but it must be realised, that he made some bad choices in his life, choices which regrettably cost him his life, Elvis music will live on, as will Neil Diamond's, let us just be thankful we have lived in a time to enjoy the immense talents of both artists,For all you Neil fans, and music lovers generally, please listen to Neil's new song here on you tube, it is called "The Art Of Love" it is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard, it features on Neil's forthcoming album, Melody Road.
