Announcer: Broadcasting from the C.N. Tower. This is 99.9 CKFM on top of Toronto. Interviewer: Well I suppose if we were to use a customary greeting it would be, nice to have you drop in right here at 99.9 CKFM, Neil Diamond. Neil: Great, nice to be here. Interviewer: (Laugh) You know how long I’ve been waiting for this? Remember the last time you were supposed to hit Toronto and…
Julia Orange: ??? What’s the position of Australia at the moment? Are you off there or not? Neil: Well, no, I’m definitely not “off” there. When you say I’m “off” there… Julia: Is the tour going ahead? Neil: The tour is going ahead. I’ve just put it back maybe one or two seasons, but I originally planned to be there at the end of January or the early part of…
PART ONE NEIL: Hello DELILAH: Is this Neil? NEIL: Yes, Delilah. How are you doing? DELILAH: How are you? NEIL: Oh, great! Just hanging out here, kicking back a little bit.

He was the top drawing solo performer for the entire decade of the 1990s. But Neil Diamond has never been “hip.” His new album could change all that, CBS News correspondent Anthony Mason believes. With “12 Songs” Diamond has…
Neil: It’s more than a show and it’s really more than opening a theatre. This is really a novel idea for Las Vegas, where basically what you have are hotels and the night clubs. There are large ones…very beautiful ones and this is the first major theatre that’s opened in Las Vegas. It’s been an extraordinary experience for me and, as I said to you before, second only my Australian…
Missed the first sentence of this as I was yelling at my boss to “be quiet, Neil’s on!”. He laughed and rolled his eyes. A reaction I’m sure ALL of us Neil fans get often, right?! This was a lovely interview with a lot of friendly laughter throughout. Will probably be on the official site but I thought I’d type it out for all my fellow Neil “diehards” out there…
Musical intro Initial words cut off Album. They’re already going to do the best of David Sheehan at The Greek Theater. You know it’s fantastic and I’ve been practicing(humming). You know some people don’t believe that I made my singing debut last night at The Greek, since it turned out I had already sent my film crew back and it looked like the uh, magical moment had gone unrecorded.
