Patchoulia Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 Is it wrong that I want to go to this?
Basher Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Posted September 24, 2008 Is it wrong that I want to go to this?HELL NO! I SO want to go to this show.
Birdy Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 HELL NO! Neil Diamond was one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life.
Basher Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report 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.
Kanada Kev Posted September 24, 2008 Report 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
Patchoulia Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 Is it wrong that I want to go to this?HELL NO! I SO want to go to this show.Awesome. I'll see if I can score some tickets.

phorbesie Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 is anybody else going to the Ottawa show tomorrow night? woo!
edger Posted March 7, 2015 Report Posted March 7, 2015 Ha. Nice to see this thread dug up. Cheers to patchoulia. LOVE Neil Diamond and still yet to see him. Enjoy!
bouche Posted March 8, 2015 Report 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 ?
phorbesie Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 yep that's what he looks like. it was fun to hear the songs i grew up with. pretty chill show, lotsa old people there
Velvet Posted March 9, 2015 Report Posted March 9, 2015 I kept thinking I was at a Sean Connery concert. it was quite unnerving.
Velvet Posted March 9, 2015 Report 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 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?
