Super Diamond - The Neil Diamond Tribute
Neil Diamond tribute
Moved from January 29, 2021 and again from May 21, 2021.
"I've met them and I have been to their shows,
they're wonderful!"
Neil Diamond to Katie Couric on the Today Show,
November 9, 2005
"Q. Super Diamond honors him..."
"A. Who is Neil Diamond?"
Question on Jeopardy, May 20th, 2005
San Francisco's Super Diamond has become one of the most popular
live shows at major nightclubs, theaters, ballrooms and public events throughout
the United States. For over a decade the band has consistently performed
sell-out shows at venues such as Irving Plaza in New York, 930 Club in
Washington D.C., Bimbo's in San Francisco, and House of Blues venues in
Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, Cleveland and Dallas to name but a few.
At these venues Super Diamond has generated an exuberant audience response
previously unheard of for a tribute band. Many would say that Super Diamond has
transcended the label of "tribute band" by passionately immersing
themselves in Neil Diamond's huge repertoire and delivering a high-octane show
of unforgettable classics such as Cracklin' Rosie, Sweet Caroline, Forever in Blue Jeans and many others.
Super Diamond has also performed at landmark venues and events
such as Hollywood Bowl, Taste of Chicago, Fenway Park in Boston, Coors Field in
Denver and numerous fairs, festivals and corporate celebrations across the
country and overseas.
Super Diamond front man The Surreal Neil,
Randy Cordeiro, astonishes audiences with his live interpretation of the
"real Neil." Randy created the charismatic character when he
discovered he had the uncanny ability to capture not only Neil Diamond's voice,
but also his mannerisms and performance style. Randy formed Super Diamond with
founding members Matt Tidmarsh (bass guitar), Rama Kolesnikow (keyboards), and
his childhood friend James Terris (keyboards) and soon after attracted the stellar
talents of Chris Collins (guitar) and Vince Littleton (drums). With a dedication
to performing a dazzling, rockin' show and a reputation as one of the best live
bands in the country, Super Diamond continuously draws full-capacity crowds and
has a loyal, dedicated and ever-expanding fan base that bridges generations.
Super Diamond has caught the attention of major media publications
such as Rolling Stone Magazine, Spin Magazine, New York Times, San Francisco
Chronicle, Washington Post and LA Times. The band has been featured on CNN, Fox
News, MSNBC, Comedy Central and interviewed for VH1's Behind the Music-Neil
Diamond Episode. In November 2008 Super Diamond was seen by millions when they
were the musical guests on The Late Show with David Letterman.
Super Diamond's dream came true when Neil Diamond joined them on stage
for a surprise appearance at the House of Blues in Hollywood. A moment of
endorsement that swelled the band members' hearts and stunned the audience that
night. Neil Diamond also praised the band when questioned about the success of
Super Diamond by Katie Couric and Larry King on national television. Super
Diamond was fortunate to be joined on stage by Neil Diamond a second time, at
the premiere party for the movie Saving Silverman and
has been delighted over the years to bring on stage current and former members
of Neil Diamond's touring band.
Super Diamond delivers a glittering, smoke-filled show performing
Neil's power ballads and up-tempo hits with unrestrained enthusiasm. The show is
pure entertainment - classic music combined with fun, energy and passion -
creating nostalgia for the good old days and excitement for today's generation.
