Basher Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Little known fact: My first ever concert was Neil Diamond. Coming to America tour at Maple Leaf Gardens. I think I was 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I've got an old friend who is a massive GD, Phish, ABB, GM fan and has ALWAYS raved about Neil Diamond shows. I went to a Neil Diamond cover band for NYE one year at the ElMocambo and had a blast, but that's really not the same thing i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'm very impressed with the effort many people are putting in to digging up old threads. It appears that the search is finally useful. How was the concert and does neil really look like this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Before the show began an announcement came over the PA warning patrons that the lights would soon "dim suddenly," and that we should all take a look around and note the nearest emergency exit. Best part was when the sound guys forgot to turn off the canned applause between songs and accidentally turned it up way too loud. Runner-up moment was when Neil was urging people to stand up for a song. The ladies in front of us were very disappointed that he didn't ask them to stand. They really, really wanted to stand up and were bummed that the star didn't give them permission. No, wait. The best part was when Neil addressed the front row with, "I know you're poor, and being poor has got you down. But if we all stand up and dance it might take your mind off of all that." The front row tickets were close to $200 with the fees. Oh, and our 300 level tickets were upgraded to, well basically anywhere we wanted. We were offered floors but opted for section 209 (we didn't want to sit with the poor people). The entire 300 level was shut down and pretty much everyone was redirected to Guest Services for new tickets. There were times when the venue felt like a ghost town. Really interesting night overall.

bouche Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 No, wait. The best part was when Neil addressed the front row with, "I know you're poor, and being poor has got you down. But if we all stand up and dance it might take your mind off of all that." I can't even imagine what made him say that. Is it because of the canadian dollar?
