Tony’s Neil Diamond Experience

  • Tony Starlight Showroom 1125 Southeast Madison Street Portland, OR, 97214 United States (map)

Tony shall Neil before you in our multimedia live music tribute to the anointed one!

For the last 14 years, Tony has been performing his tribute to Neil Diamond’s iconic legacy of song. On this night Tony shall Neil before you along with a six-piece band performing a loving tribute to Neil Diamond with equal parts heart and laughter. Musically, the performance is spot on. In fact, Tony Starlight sounds so much like Diamond that fans have remarked, “it’s eerie!”

Whether it’s monologues about the lifestyle of a living legend and the burdens of carrying around such enormous talent, or challenging the audience to perform better, or an all-new take on “You Don’t Bring me Flowers”, no other Diamond tribute is this much fun. And we guarantee it’s the only tribute with simulated figure skating! Here’s the kicker: Even people who don’t like Neil Diamond, like this show! You know what you call people who don’t like Neil Diamond, don’t ya? LIARS!

TONY STARLIGHT USES LIVE MUSICIANS ONLY. What you hear is us. There are no backing “tracks” on this, or any other show at Tony Starlight Showroom.
