Due to overwhelming popular demand,  Xcel Energy Center and AEG Live have announced that legendary singer, songwriter and performer Neil Diamond has added a second show to his Saint Paul stop, as part of his 37-city North American summer tour.

Diamond’s prolific body of work includes “You Don't Bring Me Flowers” (the powerful duet with Barbra Streisand), “I Am, I Said” and “Cracklin’ Rosie,” as well as hits from his album and movie “The Jazz Singer” (“America,” “Love on the Rocks”) and from his acclaimed 2005 album “12 Songs.” The album marked his first project with Rubin, which entered the Billboard Top 200 at No. 4 - marking Diamond’s highest-charting debut to date - and offered a stripped-down, emotionally honest and passionately compelling approach that continues on “Home Before Dark.”

Like all great Neil Diamond albums, “Home Before Dark” is a powerful work, crossing generational lines with an extraordinary range and level of songcraft. Imbued with the same style of inspired melodies that has made his music so enduring, the album’s highlights include the stunning lead single “Pretty Amazing Grace” and a striking duet with the Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines entitled “Another Day (That Time Forgot).” The new collection was written by Diamond and recorded in Los Angeles with guitarist Mike Campbell, keyboardist Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers), bassist/ acoustic guitarist Smokey Hormel and guitarist Matt Sweeney. The album will also be available as a deluxe version that includes two bonus tracks and a DVD with rare footage of Diamond in the studio.

Doors:Opens at 7 pm. 

Tickets:$55 / $85 / $120.
