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!
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
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. :-)
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!
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!
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.
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.
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...☮️
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.
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.
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.
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
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'.
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...
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.
my twin sister and family live in north carolina ,i live in south yorks england every time i visit them i always sing this fab song ...thats gone on for decade xxx
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.
I loved it. I will not criticize a single thing. Neil Diamond came cross country at his own expense just to sing Caroline at Fenway on that very sad day. I loved it.
Imagine having been the one who created a piece of culture that has taken such a life as this has. The feeling of performing it front of so many, for whom it has far transcended simple enjoyment must be awesome ( real definition )
Hi Paul.....I was commenting on this page,when I came across yours and all what you just said in your comment is great and amazing Paul I will Gmail ....paulw0683@gmail.com you can text me okay.! sorry for comment on public stuff please the Gmail is only for @paul walker kindly text me on this Gmail if that is okay with you?I hope to hear from you soon.....God bless you .🌺🌺🌺
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.
When I was a kid, Peggy Fleming had a special on TV, from Russia. She ice-danced to Sweet Caroline on an outside frozen pond, in a beautiful park, and you could see those Russian onion dome buildings in the back ground. That was my introduction to Sweet Caroline, and I've loved it, and think of Peggy, ever since!
🎼 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
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.
I was at Fenway Park about two months ago for a Red Sox game (was in Boston for travel)....when the Red Sox fans sing "Sweet Caroline", it is electrifying. They are so passionate and it was a thrill to watch/be a part of it. Red Sox fans are a GREAT bunch! They made the experience such a wonder for me! I'm glad Neil did this for them
cajayson8301 yeah I live and breathe the red Sox and sweet Caroline is literally the Boston anthem. no matter where you go in Boston you here that song. wether coming from a car, a street performance, or an apartment it really embodies the Boston spirit.
even with me being a life long Yankees fan - yesterday I was even rooting for the Red Sox and this was a very moving moment seeing Neil Diamond being at Fenway Park to sing his song with all the Red Sox fans! We all love you Boston and God bless.
Daryl Gurney’s walk on before a darts match, with this song and thousands of people touching you, touching me, shows how this song has touched so many.
Now that's the reason I've followed this mans career since 1968; and as a 10 year old kid spent my allowance on my first LP, because he is indeed a true "Class Act".
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

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 saw Neil diamond twice. Candles flaring. The best songs ever. God bless you Neil. Thanks for the awesome memories
8 years later this still brings tears to my eyes! Neal Diamond is a class act. Great support for Boston after a horrific experience.
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.

The most uplifting song we have ever had back then and now♥️
Don't for us over the pond r

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
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.
Beautiful people and music, you are great from, Australia!

I sure do miss heartfelt human interactions like this.
Looking forward to when we all singing together like this again ❤️
Soooooooooooon
So go have them. It normal and human. Never stop
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 !!!!!
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!
He is still "so good so good so good"
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.
We all have tears in our eyes, the flag on our chest and pride in our hearts at being Americans. Great great moment.
Amen
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.
Now he's battling Alzheimer's.
I just lost my mom, she loved Neil. Makes me think of my lovely mom. Love Neil, his music is heartfelt.
That was simply stunning and awesome . Thanks Neil .
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 so amazing. Neil Diamond is such a great guy, going out to do that.
Wow how times have changed in 7 years! I wanna go back!
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 😁
sung every 8th inning of a Red Sox game - and hope we sing again next year!

Oh Neil, I wish you could come to Windsor Park in Belfast..... To hear this being sung by Northern Ireland football supporters. Fantastic. .
I have followed your career for many years and now I can say that u r the most unique prefommer for all generations

Pennsylvania is holding the people of Boston in our hearts and especially in our prayers!!! God Bless you all!!!
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!!
Great gesture by a great guy. God Bless Boston - from a Tribe fan in Ohio. We are ALL Boston Strong!
We will ALWAYS stand together!!! They might knock us down but we always manage to stand back up w our heads held high!!!!!
I loved him since I have heard him for the first time back in the 70s. Still as good as then. Long live to you Neil Diamond.
Awesome! Love Neil Diamond and love Boston. Wish I was there. What a great moment!
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
From this Giants fan to Boston, peace, love and prayers to you, you're in our hearts.
It's a miracle! He"s a blessed person!. I love him and his songs.
It was a wonderful moment for a wonderful town by a wonderful performer. Great job Neil; keep going Boston
Gives me goose bumps just seeing and hearing this,
I love this!! Made me cry... What a great man!!!!!
I hadn't seen this in years ... made me cry. This is absolutely awesome.
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'.
Neil Diamond is a living legend and a great humanitarian!
Can never get enough Neil Diamond!

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...
Well said. Much love from the UK. this is the only song which brings my family together.. great song.
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.
From what I understand, he showed up, unannounced, at a beach in Mississippi, after Katrina. What does this say about this remarkable man,
Neil Diamond, thank you!

Lucky enough to have a name to have such a classic named after. Makes me love this song even more now. Only the best wishes to Boston!!!
Looks like a great atmosphere at Fenway. If I ever go to New England, it's on my bucket list to watch a game there one day.
I'm from Texas, but my heart has been in Boston since April 15. I've always loved Neil Diamond, but never more than I do today.
One of the best feel good songs of the 20th century!
I'm a Yankee fan, but Boston has the best sports fans in the country. So intense, so knowledgible, so dedicated, so caring.
I was a teen in his hey day. Singing Sweet Caroline was an anthem. Great guy.
It still is
Same !
When I was a kid, Peggy Fleming had a special on TV, from Russia. She ice-danced to Sweet Caroline on an outside frozen pond, in a beautiful park, and you could see those Russian onion dome buildings in the back ground. That was my introduction to Sweet Caroline, and I've loved it, and think of Peggy, ever since!
Just a joy to see. Neil on the FenWay Diamond....there is such joy there that day!
Great moment all together. Thank you Neil!!!
Thank-you Neil Diamond , looking good !!!!
My heart is warm as always by this song 🥰♥️

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.
SWEET...love Boston..and Neil Diamond.
I was at Fenway Park about two months ago for a Red Sox game (was in Boston for travel)....when the Red Sox fans sing "Sweet Caroline", it is electrifying. They are so passionate and it was a thrill to watch/be a part of it.

And Neil is from Brooklyn. Fuck Boston!
Ok
@@PistolShrimpPete HA! Who was your daddy this season, "Yank"? Sox rolled over EVERYone on their way to another World Series crown!
Truly electrifying
I've sung that sung in my head since the first time I heard it in 1969! From Arizona...wishing you Boston Strong!
im from Australia baseball not big here but have heard of boston red socks because of neil diamond my favourite singer
even with me being a life long Yankees fan - yesterday I was even rooting for the Red Sox and this was a very moving moment seeing Neil Diamond being at Fenway Park to sing his song with all the Red Sox fans! We all love you Boston and God bless.
Daryl Gurney’s walk on before a darts match, with this song and thousands of people touching you, touching me, shows how this song has touched so many.
What a special moment.

Thanks for sharing..Loved this & Thanks Neil Diamond !
That was incredible and incredibly awesome! Oh, yes! There are tears, too! :'-)
Nice to see people in the stands.
That was awesome. Thank you for sharing it on RUclips.
Now that's the reason I've followed this mans career since 1968; and as a 10 year old kid spent my allowance on my first LP, because he is indeed a true "Class Act".
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
