Neil Diamond
The pop music pioneer is back on tour again. With the release of his "Home Before Dark" album earlier this year, and the overwhelming support it has received; the album reached #1 on the Billboard charts, the tour is poised to be a major draw.
As great a music as Neil Diamond has written over the years, he's never had an album reach the top of the charts before. The album has been labeled Diamond's best by some critics. His writings have not suffered a bit throughout the years, same old classic material with the new age sound.
The tour started back in June in Manchester, England, with his first U.S. date in St. Paul, Minnesota on July 19th, ending next year on January 8th, 2009 at the Rose Garden in Portland. Check ticket listings below for seat availability for the remaining of the tour.

Neil Diamond concert tickets
Diamond spent his early career as a songwriter in the Brill Building. His first success as a songwriter came in November, 1965 with the song "Sunday and Me" performed by Jay and the Americans, which was a top 20 hit on the Billboard Charts.
Greater early success as a writer followed with "I'm a Believer", "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You," "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow),"
and Love to Love which were all recorded by The Monkees. There is a popular misconception that Diamond wrote and composed these songs specifically for the "Pre-Fab Four." In reality, Diamond had written, composed and recorded these songs to release himself, but the cover versions were released before his own.The unintended, but happy, consequence of this was that Diamond began to gain fame not only as a singer and performer, but also as a songwriter. "I'm a Believer" was the Popular Music Song of the Year in 1966. Other notable artists who recorded early Neil Diamond songs were Elvis Presley, who interpreted Sweet Caroline as well as And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind, Mark Lindsay, former lead singer for Paul Revere & the Raiders, also covered "And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind", the English hard rock band Deep Purple which interpreted Kentucky Woman, Lulu, who covered The Boat That I Row, and Cliff Richard, who released versions of Ill Come Running, Solitary Man, "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon", I Got The Feelin(Oh, No, No), and Just Another Guy.
