"This song was my first attempt at creating a fantasy life - in a song, that is. 'Shilo' is a feast for psychological interpretation and also the song which ended my relationship with Bang Records, who did not see this as 'in the Neil Diamond hit mode' (whatever that might be).
'Shilo wasn't a huge hit, but has lasted as one of my audience's favourites for over thirty years. Maybe the audience senses that it really is me talking." - ND

This video is dedicated to a truly remarkable and beautiful young lady, Shilo. So named by her parents, Tammy and Michael Daniels of Pennsylvania, true testimony of their deep and enduring love and respect for Neil Diamond, the man and his music.

"I’ve always regretted not filming the Hot August Night concert in ‘72, an album so pivotal in my career." - ND (2018)

"Electric... his audience falls like plums at his feet." - Tone - Daily Variety

"The lean, sensual performer was A TRIUMPH." - Michael Carmack - Los Angeles Herald-Examiner

"... he moved the audience through many moods from joy to sorrow." - Sue Cameron - The Hollywood Reporter

"More of a triumph, in every measurable way, than his stunning show last summer at the Greek... Most of all, Diamond gave of himself." - Robert Hilburn - Los Angeles Times.

"I enjoyed the outstanding theatrical experience of my life, due to the unsurpassed and almost hypnotic talents of Neil Diamond." - James A Doolittle - General Director, Greek Theatre Association.

Hot August Night 1972 –
"He knocked them dead. One of the greatest albums ever made. Neil came through a cloud of smoke and the audience just exploded. It was the first time I saw him confident on stage. That was chemistry. Hot August Night was the big turning point. That magnetism that people think of with Neil Diamond was born on that night." - Lee Holdridge - Composer and conductor collaborated with Neil Diamond on the film score for Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

"The human voice is the most important instrument at our disposal, yet it is one of the most difficult to understand or define. You either hear it or you don't. It either moves you, or it leaves you cold... it is more than just a sound... it is the soul itself." -- Neil Diamond 1974

"The 30-piece orchestra with conductor and composer Lee Holdridge behind him. The strings were magical and it was the most entertaining concert I have ever been to. I went to see him 3 times that week and, to this day, I can't forget how fantastic he sounded." - Bonnie Schultz

SHILO (1967 - Age: 26)
NEIL DIAMOND
This live Version - Hot August Night (1972)

Young child with dreams
Dream every dream on your own
When children play,
Seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn to the only friend you can find
There in your mind

Shilo when I was young,
I used to call your name
When no one else would come,
Shilo you always came and we'd play

Young girl with fire,
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could

A night out, I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way
That she made me smile
She made me smile

Shilo when I was young,
I used to call your name
When no one else would come,
Shilo you always came and you'd stay

Held my hand out, I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way
That she made me smile
She made me smile

Shilo when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come....
Shilo you always came
Come today, come today, come today
