First time was something else
The first time I saw Neil Diamond was in 1976. He put on a show that had not only I, but everyone else shaking their heads.

Who’d’ve Believed I’d Come Along?
Several months before the 2005 Woburn Abbey show in England, in the IAIS chat room, I was asked the question, “Eydie, Are you coming to the UK for any of the shows?” I responded, tongue in cheek, “An act of God or a personal invitation from Neil Diamond himself would be the only thing that would get me there.” This was all I could think to say to convey an…
You Gotta Have Spit!
When my son began getting serious about the young woman he would eventually marry, he would come home from dates with her, give me a little kiss and say, “You just kissed Tracy.” It became a loving little joke between us….letting me subtly know that he was getting serious about this girl. This is where my ‘close encounter’ story begins. It was September 22, 1996. My hometown. Neil was to…
Under a Tennessee Moon by Karen (TN)
I got wind about the television special on the release of Neil’s “Tennessee Moon” CD. I submitted my request for tickets and waited, and waited, and waited. One day, my husband called me at work to tell me that an envelope from Sony had arrived in the mail — TICKETS! A girlfriend, Joyce, and I drove from Paducah, KY to Nashville to be a part of the afternoon taping of…
Neil heats up a cold winter night :-)
It was December 8, 1985, the day before Neil was to perform at The Hilton in Ames Iowa, which is just 25 miles north from where I live in Des Moines. This was the first concert of the tour. The tour right before this one was the tour when Neil’s father died and where Neil had to postpone until April the shows in Calgary Canada. Through a friend whose brother…
Neil’s Presence and Color
Eydie’s lovely entry regarding Neil’s aura reminded me of an experience I had in Indianapolis on the day after the concert in 2005. I searched through the IAIS archives and found my post, so I’m just copying the relevant part here. I googled colors but I couldn’t find anything relating to what I saw, only ones that spoke of blue and green separately. “Lobby call”, Indianapolis, Indiana on December 10,…
Neil’s Aura
Date was Nov. 19, 2001 – Time: 4:30 pm – Place: Hotel lobby – Indianapolis, Indiana Yellow: joy, freedom, non-attachment, freeing or releasing vital forces. People who glow yellow are full of inner joy, very generous and not attached to anything. Yellow halo around the head: high spiritual development. A yellow aura is a signature of a spiritual teacher. Yellow is one of the first and the easiest aura colors…
