I'm not ordinarily a Neil Diamond fan, but Diamond collaborators Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko set up this stellar highlight in The Last Waltz, Martin Scorsese's 1976 tribute to The Band.
I saw this shortly after moving to Portland in 1977. It is a terrific concert movie.
The best thing Diamond has ever done, and Robertson co-wrote it. Diamond is perhaps best known for writing much of The Monkees' 1960s bestselling bubblegum.
Despite everything, Neil sang this with a lot of soul.
