Venue
Paramount NY has back peddled especially after seeing shows like the Queen Tribute and the great known Comedy acts they bring in. But this was merely a bar band with a lead karaoke singer who half the time didn't even sing the correct lyrics, and way too many people on stage vying for the spotlight. Extra star for not screwing up, Sweet Caroline, but then again everyone was singing that one!
I was looking forward to a night out, I’ve seen a few shows at the Paramount in the past, great venue but this show just didn’t live up to the other performances I’ve seen. The older guy that was singing just seemed to be trying too hard, in my opinion, he just didn’t have the stage presence to be a lead singer. I agree with other reviewers, I had trouble understanding him at times. I was also distracted by the camera guys video taping, not sure if they were with the venue or the band. I have tickets for another show at this venue coming up, so I’m hoping for a better experience.
Neil Forever was an absolutely fantastic show! If you close your eyes, you would think that Neil Diamond was performing. The entire audience was enjoying the show and the participation was great! We can’t wait to see the show again.
Even the cheap seats were awesome. He sounded alot like Neil. Loved it.
Neil Forever was an amazing night listening to Neil Diamond music as authentically as it could be. The lead singer and entire band were wonderful. It was an energetic, fun night that I would recommend to anyone!
What a great show and a good time!! Will definitely see them again next time they come around.
The seats were great( section 205 loge). However the sound on David Jacobson’s mike was not what it should have been. Many of the words to Neil Diamond’s sings were muffled and difficult to hear. Otherwise concert was good.
What a show! Incredible from beginning to end. Great dynamic energy all the way through
This was my first time attending an event at the Paramount. It was better than I expected. The show was excellent. I recommend it to anyone that’s a Neil Diamond fan. My only negative comment is that the seats are on top of one another and not very comfortable.
The Music of Neil Diamond “Neil Forever” was a terrific show. My sister and I totally enjoyed the show. The tickets were a birthday gift to my sister ??
