Neil Diamond – 2012 Tour and Tickets

Neil Diamond is touring around the United States and will sing the songs of the album, “The Very Best Of” and we know that he has tons of great songs that will make the trip to the concert very worthwhile. His career spanned for over five decades beginning in 1960 and he is as lustrous as spotlights as ever, his voice still strong and melodramatic, serenading and overly pleasant to the ears. He’s still one of the diamonds in the music industry, both literally and figuratively.

The best news is that he’s not going anywhere except to perform around the vast states of America to show that even after the decades, he’s still that legendary Neil Diamond we all know of. Neil Diamond will be visiting over 20 states in the US and some cities in Canada. Get your Neil Diamond concert tickets early because a legend like him will be sold out weeks before the actual event.

If it is not enough to prove how Neil Diamond is a gem of all ages, let me tell you that he has sold over 115 million records worldwide, 48 million in the United States alone as of 2001. Many of his songs have been covered by many performers locally and internationally. He is also considered to be the third most successful adult contemporary artist after Barbra Streisand and Elton John, as hailed on the Billboard Chart.

Neil Diamond doesn’t focus on one genre (he sings rock, pop, folk and country) that’s why he is able to be inducted both in the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984, Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2007 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. He received numerous awards including the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001, for being in the industry successfully for so long and the Kennedy Center Honors. Like him, eight of his songs received awards too by being number one hit singles. These are, “Cracklin Rosie”, “Song Sung Blue”, “Desiree”, “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “Love On The Rocks”, “America”, “Yesterday’s Songs”, and “Heartlight”. Watch out for these songs during his concert, it will be great.

Apart from his hit songs, this talented timeless singer is also known for wearing colorful beaded shirts during concerts. The reason behind it? He said that this wasn’t done because he simply wanted to, but because of necessity so everyone in the audience could see him without the aid of binoculars. Bill Whitten designed the shirts and he made it for Neil Diamond from the 1970s until 2007.

Neil Diamond’s concerts will start on February 16, 2012 until September 1, 2012. Get your discount concert tickets early before they run out! Don’t miss Neil Diamond shining on the stage, singing his boundless songs that every generation will surely love.
