Tears as he rendition I am I said. Deep vulnerable human being, who can bear souls, fears , and expectations as Neil Diamond. Such richness in this wonderful passionate human being

What a gift. Now Neil has Parkinson’s and has retired. Thank you for all the years of beautiful songs.

Neil's humility made me adore him & his songs EVEN MORE. Thanks Kathleen.

Neil is the greatest entertainer of all time He is so very humble and kind. He gives a great concert. He is so good with his audience We all love him.

He has such a calm demeanor, can listen to him all night

Love Neil Diamond. He seemed more emotional and reflective in this interview than I have ever seen before. Have to love the Irish audience also, they do love a sing song!

Gave me goosebumps What a worldly treasure

NEIL DIAMOND, THE BEST IN THE WORLD, A VOICE THAT CHARMS, A LOOK THAT BEGINS, AN ENIGMATIC PERSONALITY. I CAN'T STOP LOVING HIM 💎👑💋♥️

What a marvelous man, so talented, kind and so deeply human.

My God, he’s so humble. Makes him even...sexier..

This interview is pure magic. Thank you. His grace and humility leave me speechless.

Absolutely stunning! What a gentleman and an incredible songwriter

Aint he just abeautiful person who touches hearts wherever he goes?

This is probably the best Neil Diamond interview

What a treasure! The man the interview and what a treasure for Him, to have such a loving audience to speak to Play for and sing with. I am definitely adding this interview to my Playlist.

When the audience joined in singing it felt like they were all together in a living room, a very intimate atmosphere. Beautiful. And the interaction just went on and on ..... what a tender interview.

LEGEND 🎉, what an awesome human being, loved you then love you still. God bless always ❤️

Neil is so gifted and emotional. I have always loved his music. This was a wonderful interview

The "i am i said" just broke me into tears. What an honest, humble, transparent soul. Neil gives all of us permission to be scared, to try, to struggle, to search, to dream, to reach, and to express all our deep inner feelings. He to me is an angel, the ones talked about in the Bible that are right in front of us and we don't know they are really angels, not quite human. I love Neil as a child loves a father...may all your days be filled with glorious light my fellow sojourner. You are my true inspiration to keep loving and living and giving all the days i have left.

He will always be my favorite singer. There is no one, not a single one that sings with his passion.

So talented, thank you Neil for the memories and beautiful music God Bless you, you have been a gift to us all🙏

Don't think he gets the credit he deserves as one of the all time great song writers an performers.

When he sang " I am I said" his watery eyes revealed he was reflecting on bygone years

So glad I ran across this interview!! Wonderful!!

What a classy guy, a global treasure.

It's very rare that an interviewer respects his guest and lets him express himself at length like this. Good job.

He came into the Mayfair Riding and Sport shop on Rodeo dr., where I was working, late 60’s very early 70’s. Had his little child on his shoulders. He was so magnificent and charismatic I froze when he asked for help.i was not quite out of my teens, and used to celebrities, but I just couldn’t speak because his presence was so profound.My older sister was the store manager, and had to push me out of way wait on him. I propped myself up on the display of bell bottoms and just stared at him.He was so kind and sweet to his child and everyone in the store.i got the feeling he was worried I might get fired or something,which I would, if my sister wasn’t the boss, and made a point of sincerely thanking me before he left. I went on to become a makeup artist in music videos and always hoped to meet him again thank him not complaining about me. It never happened. All these years later he seems more lovely than ever. A wonderful human being!God bless his heart. Wonder if he still has the fringe jacket!

That gave me chills when he sang 'I am I said'. Powerful.

You made it Neil Diamond , you are a doctor of the heart and song !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗🌹💖😁🙏 Your songs bring healing to a sad heart!!! God bless you!

Those tear-filled eyes during i am i said... he seemed so overwhelmed by the love for him♥️

Thank you kindly for sharing from your heart, Neil Diamond. I’m so glad I found this amazing moment he gave us.

Love this man’s humility , such a success didn’t get involved with drugs and destruction like Elvis, and too many others. Actually people love him as a person!!!

He is so humble, and dare say a little insecure, yet one of the most successful entertainers of all time. A joy to see such success and not full of himself.

I was an elder in the church in Edmonton responsible for the teens. One Friday evening, they went to a members house for an evening of karaoke. I led songs in worship, so I knew I could sing, so I went along, knowing there wouldn't be anything in THAT machine for me. I was old enough to be most of their grand-dads. When all the kids were done butchering most of the songs, they implored me to give it a try. I've only sang karaoke once ... that was this night. There was nothing in there for me, until ..... "Sweet Caroline" came up and I said, "I might be able to sing that one"!! The song went on and on and on and on, when the "machine crowd" was going crazy with wild applause and after about 7 minutes, it came to an end. The owner of the karaoke machine said that I blew the top off the top score!! Thanks Neil. I owe it to you.

when the crowd starts to sing along the first time, why does it make me cry? wonderful. then the story of how "I am, I said" came about, and his singing it, more tears.

I love "I am I Said" So beautiful and seeing his emotion while recollecting the exact moments he was feeling at the time. Thank you Neil for your beautiful songs! 🙌

I thank God that my life has been touched by Neil Diamond since the mid-1960s, though attending four concerts, countless hours of listening on the radio, records, cassette tapes, and into the 21st century with these amazing interviews with such a kind and soulful man! I took my mother to see him all four times (and once, my nephew Shon went with us, amazed that "his tickets sold out faster than Guns and Roses!!!"), also saw The Jazz Singer twice about 40+ years ago. To me, the best part about him is that his songs and voice and who he is, come through clearer than ever. Brooklyn Roads, Juliet, Coldwater Morning, and so many more, still touch our souls and remind us that God truly blesses us with this man, Neil Leslie Diamond!

Too bad the legends have to get old. There will never be anyone like him again. Life is short.

I have no doubt this will be the most played & repeated Neil Diamond, what a gentleman, singer, songwriter, legend

I could listen to him talk and sing all night....He is a fascinating character and an amazing writer..

Wow. That is one of the best interviews I have ever seen.

I love this section of The Late Late , Neil comes across as a quite sensitive decent soul which comes across in the great songs he has written, I Love Hello again, Play me and I am I said , very personal songs , Here I particularly love I am I said , It’s stripped down or just Neil singing it just him and guitar , Tears in his eyes as he sings , Very emotional for Neil as he recalls his self doubt brings a lot of emotion into his performance, I loved it , Would love to see him just do an acoustic tour , Amazing catalogue , Very real person I feel , no airs and graces just a very open person talking about his fears and emotions , really enjoyed this interview , Respect Neil

Well done Ryan Tubridy for your sensitivity and for accessing the authentic Neil Diamond.

I am..I said song come to my rescue too in the dark times when i moved from Brasil to the USA. Thank you Mr Neil Diamond for your supportive music thru the years. Love always!

I love you 😍 💗 This is great interview. Love hearing you talk and share with us all. You're a treasure🥰🥰🥰

Always a class act, a great singer, marvelous song writer and all round nice guy.

IF we could have only ONE interview that TOTALLY captures the PURE ESSENCE of NEIL DIAMoND in every way, this would be it. Congratulations to this gentleman for THE INTERVIEW of a lifetime handled with such GRACE and BEAUTY beyond belief - you’re the BEST!

My goodness.... such beauty in this man.... Just this past weekend, my sister was visiting and of course, the music is blasting. Years ago, in our youth, we'd be playing our Hot August Night album.. Now, it's KZfaq and the concert in Dublin was blasting its way throughout the rooms. Neil never ages and his music shall endure.God bless you....

I love your story it is amazing, how you struggled but you reached the top of the ladder, wonderful, you are really just great the greatest. I love ❤️ all of it. ❤

What a fantastic interview; definitely one of my favourites of Neil Diamond’s. I’m grateful for the magic of KZfaq that we have access to these treasures

He comes across as so humble. It's amazing how his journey unfolded.

Seems a lovely man. His music & songs are just brilliant. Keep up the good work Neill. ♥️♥️

I remember being an usher at LSU for a Neil Diamond concert about 1977. We arrived early and he was still rehearsing. He invited us to sit on the front row and asked us if there was something we wanted him to sing to us. Then he said, "You people help the fans and together we will try to make them happy."

Truely a magical interview, on so many levels. We got to see the wonderful side of this fantastic artist. This was a great pleasure to view. Thankyou the Irish and thank you Neil.

🥀Amazing Interview with Neil Diamond he's so creative and such a powerful singer song writer talents beyond his own time. I've listened to his song's since the 70s. He's someone that deserves the up most respect for what he's accomplished over the years in the music industry. I love this Man. Thank you for posting this video it's priceless🥀☝️

Neil diamond has the whole package of song writing and music that fills the heart and true to life .💕😊

Love this interview of Neil 💖

I started crying when the audience joined in singing with Neil Diamond ❤. God bless you Neil Diamond. You are truly loved by many.

Enjoyed seeing you singing today,it was a chat show,and you did us all proud,it was 6yrs ago, I know you've become quite ill since then,but plz still sing,cos singings your salvation,and selfishly hearing your voice is mine too Anyway my lovely ,sending you some silent healing every day, from pat U.K ❤❤❤

Thank you to the host as well who lets him talk !

Jazz Singer is my favorite movie in all my 68 years. Long time Neil Diamond Ohio fan❣️

Neil is without a doubt the living definition of "cool." I think it's amazing (and super cool, lol) his real name is Neil Diamond - it's perfect for what he does. Most have to come up with a trendy sounding and catchy stage name. Not this amazing performer though. I love to watch Jack Black do his quick little impersonations of Neil; they're hysterical. What a great interview. Brings back a-lot of memories of seeing Neil over the years. Thank you very much for posting it ✌

This is so good. How insightful, engaging, and beautiful. Thankyou Neil Diamond.

What a wonderful interivew, what a shame we do';t have interviews like this anymore

Wow, what an audience. The audience was respectful and knew his songs.

What a great Interview - and Neil's story underpinning the creation of the song "I am.. I said" was wonderful and I will never forget that whenever I listen to that song from now on. Neil gave us many great songs Bless you Neil.

Fantastic interview with one of the greatest and most humble people in G-d's creation! Thanks sharing Kathleen.

Humble ....tears in my eyes...for this man....just the best!!!

I adore this man. Genius, class and heart.

What a treat, watching this. And man, did that studio audience sing well or what!

Chills!!! Tears !!!! Smiles!!!! Laughter.......the very emotions Neil's music bring out in me , his interviews do also ♥️♥️♥️♥️ NEIL DIAMOND FOREVER

I had the great pleasure of seeing Neil Diamond in concert twice, absolutely amazing.

What a fabulous man! Sings from his heart with tears in his eyes. Didn't realize her was so humble. How did I miss that?

Well done interview. Neil Diamond is a New York treasure...i had the great honor of working on the New York portion of the Jazz Singer...what a great talent.

Sure I am a believer Neil that you will live in our ❤ forever

What an interviewer, what an audience, what a performer!!

I'll always love Jazz Singer and Love on the Rocks

How could he not weep at the audience reaction. Priceless.

August 2023 and your still an inspiration to me sir.😊

He seems genuinely chuffed people are singing along. Great man.

I am I Said - One of the best "presentations" of this song because of the honest voice

This Man is different Class much Love ❤️

It all started for me on a hot August Night with the man in the tree. So aware of people around him. God blees him in his battle

Thank you, Kathleen, for sharing this interview with us. I especially liked it when the audience helped Neil's solo in singing along with him. I noticed how he teared up in "I'm a Believer". Such passion for his music. The audience clearly love him.

Brilliant interview from a huge ND fan!

Gracious, humble, wisdom beyond his years even when young, such a deep moving background of his life’s path.

always loved him as a singer and artist - sadly in the 70's there was no internet so that you were not able to see interviews outside the US - my admiration grew even more ♥

Such an iconic performer and yet so modest and self effacing badly missed on the world stage today than god I've seen him live four times god bless you neil

THE MOST HUMBLE SINGER,WHAT A LOVELY MAN❤❤❤

Was I the only one who got emotional and really teary eyes when this humble man sang "I'm A Believer"?????

I have listened to this young man for so long ,i too write poetry and his music hits me deeply in my heart , i have tears while he sings , the richness in his voice is still there. Keep singing with the gift that God gave you !!

"I am I said".... best version I've seen. Thanks for posting.

The interview was very revealing and the audience.was lovely.

This is a wonderful interview with Mr. Neil Diamond. Neil is so humble and kind, you can see the sensitivity in his eyes when he sings "I Am I Said", so much emotion pouring from his heart. Neil, you have giving this world the best of everything you got. I Thank You for that. God Bless You.

His music always gave me hope to still believe in love I just never met him lol love love love ❤❤❤

The best and most honest and interesting Neil Diamond video I have seen.

I saw Neil in concert twice & he put on some of the best concerts I've ever seen! Really gave you your money's worth NO Doubt!

WHAT A JOY TO SEE THIS INTERVIEW. IN BIRMINGHAM IN JUNE 28 2011, HE HAD THE CONCERT OF A LIFETIME. AT LEAST I THOUGHT SO.

That was brilliant. Very glad this came up on my youtube feed.

He is just fantastic. Such an icon, world performer and a sincere person. A great man Neil Diamond💫🌷💕
