#73 Done

Neil Diamond. The Entertainer. This show was the 40th anniversary of his Hot August Nights show at the Greek. Even at 71, the man put on a great show. He dedicated “Coming to America” to his mom, Rosie, who was at the show celebrating her birthday. When I was in college, my buddies and I followed around a Neil Diamond impersonator from bar to bar where he’d sing passionately to ten to twenty drunk Milwaukeeans. The real Neil Diamond was nearly as good as that guy, and believe me, that’s high praise.
