    Smokey’s singing of our National Anthem is the most beautiful I’ve ever heard. I thought it in ‘86 and still today.

    Remember watching this live on TV. All these years later, it still just blows me away. The reaction from the crowd as the realization of what is happening ripples through the people gives me chills.
    Props to whoever it was at MLB back in the day having the courage to approve this brilliant version, and mad love and respect to Smokey for the the finest rendition ever.

    As everyone else here says: Best performance of the national anthem ever. Thank you to MLB for posting this and to Smokey for permitting it. I wanted to buy a recording of this at the time and have periodically looked for it ever since.

    @m.h.1593 6 лет назад +10

    His voice omigosh. The arrangements are perfect for him, but kind of slow-okay, wait, I’m typing as I am watching-he managed to slide in America the Beautiful in there?-I’m on the floor. That was amazing.

    Boston fans, never missing a thing, give Smokey an immediate ovation upon hearing him shift to America the Beautiful. God this is great, Ted F-cking Williams and everything. The ovation afterwards went on and on, too, well beyond the end of this video.

    I was 21 and sat in section 24 that night at Fenway. I still have the ticket stub too. I remember thinking right at the beginning, “wow this is something special” and it just kept getting better.
