A fun band, great for the occasion in my opinion (seriously). These guys are fun (saw their first show at the club, thumbs up). I think 1 or 2 times a year is a great fix.

Am I missing something, or did you forget to mention the band?

for 50 smackers, you'd think it was the real neil diamond playing, not a cover band.

Actually that is a common price for a New Year's eve show. Think James Brown was $100 when he was there for New Year's Eve. Part of that cost is just to get anyone to work you have to assume 2x cost (if not more). So everything goes up in price because who wants to work New Years Eve (I have done it enough).

Oh no, not a "cover" band. Super Diamond is a tribute band.

When, last year he didn't play NYE if I remember correctly it was the 30th. I was there, but forget the exact date. Thought it was a few years back he did NYE. Twangirl will know for sure.

same thing
if super diamond were'nt playing neil diamond songs, they'd be just another lame local band in their home town

Thought so. And that was a damn fine concert by the man. He is improving with age again.

You know, it's interesting...I caught JB this summer, because I always said I would, and I was a little disappointed...seemed like a whole lot of whoop-de-fuckin-do for a show that was only so-so. Although I do agree with you that he aged well for a time...the extended, dubby hard funk of his early to mid 70s period is every bit as good as the early singles. But the man's getting old, and his band is nothing like it used to be...it was just too calculated to take seriously.
On the other hand, I went to see Toots and the Maytals, and was blown away...the man's easily in his 60s, and he still rocks. So go figure.

Toots rules.
He's 57 (allegedly) but looks older.
I didn't see him last month, but I've seen him many times. Always a great show. Last time I saw his show, he would stop and knock fists with each band member after every song. He's just brimming with good vibes.
I think I'll hit a fatty and put this on:

Slightly off topic, but relevant to the reggae thread. Did any of you catch the great Ska shows they used to have at Phantas?
In one summer, I got to see Laurel Aitken, Justin Hinds, Skavoovie, King Django, NY Ska Jazz Ensemble all on seperate nights.

you got that right. sometimes I feel the need to top off my despressing, arty, post-punk tank with a heady dose of good vibes.

I only saw one show there. It was The Porkers and some other Moon Ska bands.
I would have loved to have seen NY Ska Jazz Ensemble.
