Neil Diamond tour dates

Neil Diamond

True story. I was thumbing through a distro at a recent crust/hardcore show and somewhere in between a copy of an Assault 7″ on HG Fact and a Grudges tape, I encountered a copy of The Jazz Singer. I almost bought it out of principle.

I’m guessing that appearance of Neil Diamond‘s soundtrack is an anomoly, but maybe he’ll encounter a whole new breed of fan when he hits the road for a string of dates this summer. The dates include a stop at Jones Beach Theater on 6/8. Tickets are currently on Livenation presale, and go on regular sale at noon on 12/5. The full list of show is below, none of which probably feature an opening set from Amebix.

Neil recently made two special holiday appearances in NYC. He was in the Thanksgiving Day Parade and at the lighting of the Rockefeller Center christmas tree. Videos of both are also below…
