It's a combo of things. It's our favorite band, DMB. It's a classic song. It's one of the best bar/drinking songs. It's DMB playing it as the 8th song of this show, awesome since it's tradition at Red Sox games to play this song around the 8th inning.
Both. This song is played a lot at bars, at least here in the Chicago area. But also, he played this sing as jill9700 mentioned because the song is special to Fenway Park...along the same lines of Jimmy Buffet doing the 7th Inning Stretch at Wrigley Field when he played there several years ago.
May I ask you good people a question? Is it the song or just the DM Band that makes this kind of impact on this very young audience..Do they really like sweet carline that much? Probably a combination of both? More important are great older classic songs like this really connecting to young audiences? Thanks!
I looked up why they play Sweet Caroline inthe 8th inning, it turns out some woman was in charge of the music back in the day, and starting playing it randomly, and she noticed it got everyone worked up. So, that's why DMB played it as the 8th song at Fenway. I swear to god I can hear myself screaming on this video!
"I was at this show - I have never heard a crwod sing along so loudly to anything and I've been to 67 DMB shows!"
i dont know if you were or not, but shoulda been at the 2 C'ville shows. man it was unbelievable. every single song, the crowd was non stop. best 2 nights ever
you are clearly not from boston... or this planet for that matter. Dave is clearly one of the best musicians of all time. Or do you not know enough about music to understand what playing with Warren Haynes, Bela Fleck, Robert Randoplh, Soulive, Trey Anastasio, Tim Reynolds means? I think someone was too for school at some point and never got the memo that just because they are popular doesnt mean they suck.
This was one of the best Dave shows of all, singing this song, and being in Fenway just made it that much better...

Sweet Caroline is played at a lot of college bars as well as sporting events.
When this song is played, you are required to go "Sweet Caroline...BAH BAH BAH..." and "so good! so good! so good!". Its a rule..
