Neil Diamond sings 'Sweet Caroline' at Fenway Park 8-23-08

[Dickneeds]

Saw Neil at TD Garden. I was about 3 rows from him when he started Caroline and the crowd went nuts. Great Red Sox anthem. I wish the Mets would stop trying to copy a Boston tradition. It just doesn't work there in N.Y.

[shejean]

I was there- Neil (and the crowd) sang this THREE TIMES. First time Neil sang SC live at Fenway!! What I don't understand is-whenever this is played during 8th inning-why, oh why, don't the Red Sox Management show this crowd scene, on the 3 jumbo trons, during the playing of it every 8th inning???

[tHASS2033]

Go Red Sox!!!!!!!!!!!

[mazzboss]

as a yankee fan, i cant help but to respect this. Bosox got a great song going on here, even i sing along lol. Its just a game, so sit back, enjoy and root for your team! much love!

[Everton1dukhan]

Its the song played at PITT games as well

[HomleandSecurity]

@Everton1dukhan But no one gives a shit

[bt51]

The Official Middle-of-the-eighth-inning anthem of the Boston Red Sox, so good, so good, so good.

[mwgcubs]

great song, but the 'so good so good' thing is a little dumb

[applehazar1]

redsox forever - i am also a boston transplant to MI - Ann arbor - long live the redsox!!

[timscott61495]

I wish St. Louis had a song like this. Most of the fans here aren't so diehard. It's a shame...

[OsusieQ1]

I'm in Michigan now...but still a sox fan to the bone!! Boston born and raised! When this song comes on in the office or in the car, I'm all about singing it as loud as I can!! OH OH OH!! Go Sox!!

[SG1Mitchell]

@OsusieQ1 I just went to a AA ball game in Mn and they played this song. It was annoying though. They kept raising and lowering the volume, especially for the chant parts. They should have just played it through

[JeffreyDepp]

As a kid...I grew up on oldies music and classic rock....Neil was one of the many greats I listened to. Then in Sept. of '96, like a month before my 13th birthday my parents took me to see him live in concert...It was the Tennessee Moon Tour. He was my first concert...Now...12 years later I will be seeing him again...Only this time it'll be ON THE DAY OF my 25th Birthday! I'm so excited...I got great seats too!

[beachbumkittykat]

Thanks Jeffrey - hope you had a great concert - and a great birthday!

[MusicDude86]

Neil Diamond was my first concert as well...I was 10 or 11...now I'm 23.

[cueball61089]

I saw him live at the L.A. Staples Center on Saturday. This was my favorite song. We're going to have to play it one more time.

[beachbumkittykat]

great story, and glad you can enjoy this reminder of the night! Geeeee, I wonder if there is any coincidence with the nice name you gave you daughter ?? I have a feeling that she may have a few Sox games in her future!

[beachbumkittykat]

Fenway Park is the baseball stadium in Boston where the Boston Red Sox play. Red Sox fans are rabid fans, and at every home game, there is a certain point where everyone in the stadium sings along to 'Sweet Caroline'. So to have ND perform it live here during his current tour was a special moment for many Sox fans.

[bmsnyder]

Sweet! My daughter Caroline was born that night 5 blocks away at the Brigham!! Our nurse went to the show and was going to have it dedicated! I wanted to wheel her out in her bassinet and have her here it! Just like the 7th inning stretch at Fenway, GO SOX!!

[phsftbal49]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Go Sox

[stbbrn1]

How awesome!! Would have loved to have been there.

[LiteFavorites]

We were there too - but you had better seats! We took a video from the side... it was darker and hard to see neil - but you can hear the audience participation GREAT!

[mikdanali]

thanks for the memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[victoriapottle]

Travelled from Fredericton, NB Canada for this concert and it was the thrill of a lifetime. How special to be there at Fenway. Thank you SO much for posting this! From a HUGE NEIL FAN!

[beachbumkittykat]

Thanks to everyone who's commented! When so many people planned and travelled so far, I feel a bit guilty that this was a last minute offer to me, and I got such an amazing seat. But glad I can share it with you all!

[alx2925]

I only drove an hour from RI to come to this concert, but I bought tickets MONTHS AGO!

[Mjrj99]

[alx2925]

[CharlieVandersluys]

[michaelanthonyndr]

[MFrance09]

Thanks for sharing. Great job! LOVE how you got the Fenway Park sign in at the end!!!!!!!

[beachbumkittykat]

thanks, shutterbugk8 - He puts on quite a show! I got a call at 6 pm saying - 'You doing anything tonight? Want to go to Neil Diamond at Fenway? We've got good tickets.' Yup, they had GOOD tickets!

[diamondfb]

Hi,

This is great! Thank you. Do you happen to tape Pretty Amazing Grace or Home Before Dark? Thanks again. Happy taping!

[beachbumkittykat]

Hi diamondfb - Thanks! But sorry, I didn't get the new songs. I knew my card was close to full and I only had enough memory for one song, so saved it for this (thankfully he played it several times!) After a bit I found the spare one, but didn't get too much else.

[shutterbugk8]

Thanks for sharing. Wished I could be there.
