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.

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!

Sou uma brasileira com um inglês limitado e mesmo assim entendo Neil porque ele fala com a alma em suas canções e entrevistas. Um ser humano iluminado e tocante. Neil , onde estiver eu oro por vc! Fique sempre bem ! Se cuide ! I love you a Lot of !

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

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..

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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. ❤

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!

Love this interview of Neil 💖

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!

This is probably the best Neil Diamond interview

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

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! 🙌

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.

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

All too true, Michael. I hope there are some unreleased songs in the vault...

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.

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 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!

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

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

Now, it's KZread and the concert in Dublin was blasting its way throughout the rooms. Neil never ages and his music shall endure.God bless you....

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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."

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

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

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?

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.

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

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 ✌
