About that Neil Diamond Concert at Barclays Center

Neil Diamond

Fans attending singer-songwriter Neil Diamond's first official concert in Brooklyn since his career began 50 years ago said the Barclays Center show was a moving tribute to his home town.

Diamond is a famous son of Brooklyn, attending Erasmus and Abe Lincoln high schools.

- The older, wealthier crowd attending the Diamond concert at Barclays left their limos "idling in the street." [Atlantic Yards Report]
