Neil Diamond Plays Hometown Highschool Gig In Brooklyn VIDEO

Neil Diamond played what was billed as a “surprise” show (although it had been known for a couple of days) on Monday night.

He and a six-piece band took the stage in the chapel at Erasmus Hall, where Diamond went to school as a teen and where he first found his love for music. It took him a bit to get to the music as he spent some time reminiscing with the audience about the school.
