I'm from New York. We are brother. As brother we "DO" fright. But when one brother is in danger OR trouble. We forget are differences; Run to help them & come to his's aid. "God bless" BOSTON!! BOSTON STRONG"!!!!. Also USA!! USA!!! USA!!
i plugged a jukebox one night and picked this song, no biggie, just wanted to hear it since it had been a long time. i set the entire bar alive that night, it was simply awesome when everyone joined in. when i go out i always look to see if its on the machine.
That was really nice of Neil Diamond to make the trip to Boston to sing "Sweet Caroline" to the city of Boston at Fenway Park after what they've been through. Neil Diamond is one thoughtful, considerate, compassionate, empathetic, caring, nice, classy good guy. I'm sure this is a moment that Boston & Boston Red Sox fans will always remember. What a nice gesture & great memorable moment. :-)
Niel flying out on his own dime to Boston to help uplift the spirits and show his support was amazing. He wasn't asked to fly here either, they asked him to sing at the last minute almost. He didn't lip sync, singing to his own recording was probably a little difficult. So stop giving him crap. He did exactly what was asked of him. And he uplifted so many people and brought some joy after everything Boston and everyone has been through. God Bless him for doing this.
He not only flew out on his own dime, but turned up unannounced. I had always assumed his appearance was done in coordination with the Sox, but he showed up unexpectedly and of course it was a no brainer he would sing live.
Stay classy Mr Diamond that is just what the city needed. All of those smiles brought tears to my eyes! That was awesome of you to do that for them and the rest of us also! Thank you!
My dad was alive, he use to endlessly play LPs of the likes of Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Glen Miller, Fats Domino, Frank Sinatra, etc. He expressed that these artists are all in a class of their own. Well Neil...you've just proved out of the kindness of your heart, going out of the way, flying to the Boston Red Sox game to sing and lift the nation up, that you're "beyond a class" of your own. Thank you!
He wasn't lip synching, in the true sense of the word....the stadium played the studio track ,he was singing along , same as the crowd. Class act-this was done as a tribute to the people of Boston not an attempt to fool people into thinking he was singing at a concert
Boston is such a great city, this is just a small part. New England is a great place to live. History, Sports, Food, Culture, the Mountains the S ....... and on and on and on
I was in Boston with my mom and sister and one of my twin boys in 2011. One of my twin boys graduated from Berkeley college of music. Took my mom and sisters to Fenway and they absolutely loved it. Great times!! My other twin boy had graduated from Marymount Manhattan two days earlier. I’m so very proud of them both.
I am a huge Neil Diamond fan, my parents were tree people at the Greek in 1969. I am glad I finally got to see him on his 50th anniversary tour before he retired. Oh and I grew up in LA and hate the Red Sox but I appreciate the way they honor Neil.
Not lip synching, just singing along to his own song over the PA. Definitely heard his voice in the mic there. Even so, great comment. Tears, baby. Tears.
10 years later, maybe you'll see this comment, maybe you won't. But I have the background information on why they played this specific audio track and didn't have any other track, instrumental track, or a live band: This is one of the oldest recordings of his song, and was technically just outside of copyright, so they didn't have to pay another production company or one of the predatory investors that buys up song rights just to use it. They also didn't have to coordinate with local actors and performers unions, which can derail things for weeks or months. This Boston performance was thrown together over a couple days, and they worked with what they legally could. And yes, total class act to not just lip sync and fake it. It kind of makes you feel like every time one of us normal people sings the song behind the steering wheel...lol
So cool to watch this, I am sitting here in the middle of Australia and today I am actually wearing my Red Sox shirt. I had the chance to go to a game almost 3 yrs ago. And to top it off I had the honor of sitting I the EMC2 corporate box. :) Prior to this a knew nothing about the team and being a huge Neil Diamond fan I was stoked when the song came on. I have very fond memories of Boston and can't wait to visit again. God Bless you Boston.
How are there 39 people who don't like this? They clearly hate awesomeness. And America! Neil Diamond was awesome before, but now he is at hero status!
8 years later and still impressed with your class. We're all America. We come together when we need to. The good kind of coming together. Not the "let's go burn buildings and throw rocks at cops" kind of coming together
I live in the Philly area and had the privilege to go to a Red Sox game at Fenway. I had so much fun when Sweet Caroline came on. Red Sox fans are very friendly and I had a great time!
🎼 Lástima que los gringos no fueran como Neil Diamond. Hoy muchisimos en el mundo no los odiarian tanto. Mi comentario sincero desde Cúcuta en la frontera colombo venezolana 🇨🇴🇻🇪 Sur América
Don't for us over the pond r Enghlisj. We Dawn and. Myself. Followed him every where was nobody will ever bring.us so much. Longing for the voice the. Feeling. And. Of the man. Himself so so much. Feeling for others
Boston goes crazy in a “good “ sense with this song!!!! We SO “need” people being happy and singing! Hope this makes a come back...someday! Thank you Neil Diamond! And I live in Massachusetts 😁
I’m originally from Massachusetts and have been to Fenway Park. I have taken part in the singing of “Sweet Caroline” It’s the coolest thing to be with thousands of people singing the same song and feeling so together for those moments. I hope it never stops. I pledge to go back next season to see my favorite team (Go Red Sox)and feel those vibes when our country is Back on Our feet again. “Sweet Caroline” brings tears to this old mans eyes...☮️
Oh wow! What a treat for Boston! God bless Neil Diamond and Boston!! I wonder if he really knows how much his appearance and performance meant to Bostonians who suffered such a horrendous tragedy. One good man, one strong, tough people, Fenway Park...this IS America, people! Go Boston and go America! Wish I were there to show my support, respect, and deepest sorrow for those who died, who were injured, and all the families and friends of the victims. God bless Boston!! I pray for you always.
It was GREAT. His presence was NOT about a performance, but a show of support for the city of Boston and America, in general. Who cares how he sounded unrehearsed and off the cuff. It was FABULOUS. Just being there made all the difference.
This is the music I grew up too. At the time of its release in 1969, I was a dis jockey with American Forces Radio and Television on the Island of Crete, Greece. For 3-1/2 years I enjoyed the ouzo, wine, and the lifestyle of the rich and famous (I was a dirt poor soldier and not famous). I can't tell you the number of requests for this song.
Have seen many Neil Diamond concerts through the decades...he's a class act and a loving, generous soul. Wonderful to see a good guy shine in this video...
Now i feel that my name just means that much more. I am from Massachusetts and it means a lot to see so much support from the entire country. Boston Strong. America Strong.
Echoing those who say - a class act! Great to see Neil out there at Fenway to help lift everyone's spirits after the events of the past week. Thanks for uploadin'.

I saw Neil diamond twice. Candles flaring. The best songs ever. God bless you Neil. Thanks for the awesome memories
That was simply stunning and awesome . Thanks Neil .
I just lost my mom, she loved Neil. Makes me think of my lovely mom. Love Neil, his music is heartfelt.

Seven years later, this video makes me cry. After the marathon bombing, everyone was so brave to be there. And Neil Diamond came to be with Boston!
makes me cry tha idiotic bostonians running music had a double voicing. is anyone really surprised tho lmao
I never get tired of hearing this song. Always makes me feel good.
Oh yes, So good, So good, So good!!! 😀
Me idem... love from Brasil 🇧🇷
So good!
ME TOO! Red Sox Nation, Pittsburgh Branch!
I've been listening to Neil since I was in my 20's--55 years ago & love him as much every day!!!

I sure do miss heartfelt human interactions like this.
Looking forward to when we all singing together like this again ❤️
Soooooooooooon

The pandemic has robbed us of human contact ! Tuck !
Un verdadero fenómeno, los escucho repetidas veces desde los 80 y cada día canta mejor , Genio total !!!!!
Pennsylvania is holding the people of Boston in our hearts and especially in our prayers!!! God Bless you all!!!

Now he's battling Alzheimer's.
Tell you what, one of the GREATEST songwriters ever.
Agree
8 years later this still brings tears to my eyes! Neal Diamond is a class act. Great support for Boston after a horrific experience.

im from Australia baseball not big here but have heard of boston red socks because of neil diamond my favourite singer
So cool to watch this, I am sitting here in the middle of Australia and today I am actually wearing my Red Sox shirt. I had the chance to go to a game almost 3 yrs ago. And to top it off I had the honor of sitting I the EMC2 corporate box. :) Prior to this a knew nothing about the team and being a huge Neil Diamond fan I was stoked when the song came on.

We all have tears in our eyes, the flag on our chest and pride in our hearts at being Americans. Great great moment.
Amen
My late mother's favorite singer. I grew up on Neil Diamond.
My mother's, too. ❤
My mom taught me to love Neil Diamond at a young age. We've been lucky enough to have seen him together multiple times. Great artist! Great guy!!
How are there 39 people who don't like this? They clearly hate awesomeness. And America! Neil Diamond was awesome before, but now he is at hero status!
What a song and what a singer to unite us in such awful times .God bless you Neil Diamond.
Can't wait to sing together again!
Amen
Great gesture by a great guy. God Bless Boston - from a Tribe fan in Ohio. We are ALL Boston Strong!
I have so much more respect for Neil Diamond, thank you.
We are not only Boston Strong BUT America strong!!!!!! Diane
Well, Neil's beginning to show his age, like the rest of us. Still a thrill as always.
I’ve loved Neil Diamond since the 70’s. Sweet Caroline is one of my favorites!!
I just love Neil Diamond his voice just melts me what a guyyyyyyyyyy 💕❤️😁😍
Max
I Love You Neil Diamond 💖💖💖💖💯✌️😁
What a special moment.

AWESOME Video...
Just put on my red socks to work tomorrow to show support for Boston. NYYankees fan.
8 years later and still impressed with your class. We're all America. We come together when we need to. The good kind of coming together. Not the "let's go burn buildings and throw rocks at cops" kind of coming together
I live in the Philly area and had the privilege to go to a Red Sox game at Fenway. I had so much fun when Sweet Caroline came on. Red Sox fans are very friendly and I had a great time!
DON'T VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN! He'll have tekashi 6ix9ine sing the national anthem.
amazing #bostonstrong the whole country stands with you from Indiana

Beautiful people and music, you are great from, Australia!
Was a casual fan of Neil Diamond, now feel like joining his fan club. Thanks Neal for showing us just how much class The USA has!
Great
We have class sometimes.
I'm a Yankee fan, but Boston has the best sports fans in the country. So intense, so knowledgible, so dedicated, so caring.
One of the few songs that can get the hole crowd singing brilliant song never get tired of listing to
Wow how times have changed in 7 years! I wanna go back!
A nice tribute to a strong, wonderful city. I love you Boston

Gives me goose bumps just seeing and hearing this,
Damn! This was awesome
Thanks so much Neil !!
Nice to see people in the stands.
