I've seen Neil in Seattle in '92, and Portland 3 other times previous to this so this will be my 5th show and I must say it was definitely the best! While I do miss the round stage, this stage was something else - moving platforms, awesome lighting, excellent sound design. His voice was stronger than in any previous concert I attended, perhaps due to his wise decision to stop smoking. I was in the 8th row and it was something to be that close to Neil Diamond himself. Awesome show, and it was awesome to be at the last show of the tour. Neil, wonderful job, maybe someday I'll get to meet you. Thanks for everything! Ryan from Portland Oregon. Flag as offensive
