Few singers are as connected with sing-alongs as the New York City born and raised Neil Diamond. From rousing renditions at pubs to interpretations at karaoke clubs, his songs are vigorously sung from sea to shining sea. The incomparable Mr. Diamond's songs are made to be sung lustily, feverishly, with reckless abandon, and as one would predict, Neil himself sings them that way, making his live shows, concert events in the full-bodied, Tom Jones sense of the word. His shows are the ultimate in fan friendly entertainment, interspersed with wandering tales and sudden, direct connections with the crowd. This distinctly Diamond behavior was even the subject of a Saturday Night Live sketch that played in part off his stage digressions and in part off the passion in his songs, songs which sometimes wear arcane, wonderfully obtuse, and even pleadingly earnest lyrics on their sleeve.
The box set STAGES gathers all the live Diamond any fan might desire in five audio discs and a DVD. The performances span his formative years in the early 1970s, when he channeled raw yet sweet Stax-style soul, through his ballads of the '80s and his famous Christmas caroling to two concerts from 2002. All of these performances capture the flavor, the passion, the sound bites, and the sweat of a Neil Diamond concert experience.

      Stages - Neil Diamond

    Music has been in my family for years. Listening to my older sibling play the record player as I was growing up introduced me to musicians such as Elvis, The Beatles, Neil Diamond, The Everly Brothers and many, many more.
    One of my favorite artists of the early 60's was Neil Diamond. I would run around the house mimicking and singing all the words of I'm a Believer, Cherry Cherry, You Got To Me to name a few. As the years went by, I still managed to memorize all of the words to his songs from Cracklin Rosie, to Holly Holy, September Morn, Solitary Man, America, You Don't Bring Me Flowers (a beautiful duet with Barbra Streisand), Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show, He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.
    All of these songs have been included in this boxed set and many others including Neil singing favorite Christmas songs - Silent Night, White Christmas, Rudolph, The Christmas Song.
    Neil has written music for other artists as well. His music has spanned almost four decades and continues to please young and old alike and into a new generation. Now that's what I call "music".
    He is also going on tour again at the end of this year or in early 2006.
