"Shilo" is a song written and recorded by #NeilDiamond. It was originally recorded in 1967 for #BangRecords. Though not one of Diamond's biggest hits, "#Shilo" has become one of his best-known songs, and was a staple of his concert appearances. It was included on Diamond's 1972 #HotAugustNight live album as well as almost all of his compilation albums.

#MusicHistory #OTD in 1972 it was a #HotAugustNight at the just opened that summer outdoor #PineKnobMusicTheater in a wooded area outside Detroit...and #NeilDiamond , one of the country's hottest #TouringActs was playing the final show of an amazingly well received five night run at the venue, entertaining yet another near capacity crowd that week of nearly 7,000 under the covered canopy ringing the stage, with several thousand more in the $3 #CheapSeats out under the stars on an expanse of green grass lawn. Neil's 90 min set covered a wide swath of music from his songbook dating back to his #BrillBuilding & #BANG records days, such as #CherryCherry from 1966, the lonely guy anthems #Shiloh, #IAmISaid & #SolitaryMan along with handclappin' faves like #SweetCaroline #CracklinRosie and show closin' encore Brother Love's Travelin' Salvation Show.
