- First big sporting event after the Boston Marathon bombing.
EDIT Feb. 2020: I am deleting political comments. This is not about politics. It's about patriotism and community. Go somewhere else to post your partisan crap...on ANY side.
EDIT Oct. 2021: I just deleted a boatload of political comments (hadn't been here in a while). Most of them were railing on "liberals" who "hate this country" (a few were anti-Trump/conservatives, but those were deleted, too). This will surprise some but I (the guy who shared this video) am a proud, patriotic LIBERAL. You know what else I am? A veteran, the brother of a veteran, and the son of a career military father. Conservatives don't own patriotism. One of the biggest problems in this country today is how we demonize the other side. We should be able to disagree, even argue and get angry, without questioning the patriotism of others.
The national anthem is about patriotism, not politics. Let's set aside the partisan rancor. - Спорт

Props to the singer for putting down the mic
twice
renne defines class
To be fair, dude made bank for doing fuck all.
@@Chzydawg Exactly, singers must love when the crowd takes over
@@joshsings4 He is making sure everyone is keeping the tempo, syncing the audience so they all sing on time
I think the crowd should sing the national anthem at every sporting event. It gives so much more feeling to it.
well it makes moments like this even more special
Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. I'm sure it gives the players a real psychological edge too!
Actually, not every sporting events to me, Steven C.
yeah
Steven C I AGREE
I miss this America.
Still is this way. All the bad is just under a microscope right now and nothing decent gets the attention
@@UnderMyBrim thank you.
Thank a democrat for ruining that
@@mason1 You dont know what inciting mean if you think he did lmao
@@mason1 WRONG. Please show us the whole speech and get to us. "Peacefully and patriotically" were his words. Not storm the capitol
anyone else got chills when they heard this?
everytime!
Everytime I hear a crowd sing.
Tear jerking
Who wouldn’t
RESPEKMYNAME it’s the same feeling I got from watching the French people sing as the Note-Dame was burning
About time Americans SING their anthem. It is a nice anthem. Well done Boston.
We don't do it enough, unfortunately.
+putbye1 but when we do... :D IT MAKES ME VERY PROUD
No, every sporting event we watch someone sing it, while we show respect through silence and the placement of our right hand on our heart.
@@tristanmoller9498 yeah but that only in the US in other countries the people sing it
@@tristanmoller9498 You can't let a good thing be can you.
I'm from Spain, and i've been crying after watching this. Our anthem doesn't even have lyrics, it's just instrumental. Love you Americans, love you America
We love you too. Love from Texas.
and we love you.
Love You Too!
Us Americans love you too.
Hey, I feel the emotions when Americans sing the "Star Spangled Banner". I'm no American but I love guys. My Philippines, who used to be an American territory, has been a partner for a long time. God bless the Philippines and the United States of America.
You Americans ought to sing your anthem more often, because that was pretty special!
Love to all our American cousins from ol' Blighty!
Its actually to the tune of a British drinking song, so y'all have some credit for it.
+TØP //Pvris// I'll drink to that ;) 🍻
Earð-Stapa 530 If Montreal was there they would boo us...
At least you guys would stand up and applaud the Canadian anthem. Don't mind Montreal, they're always like that.
TBH it's sad bc it's used almost too often like every single sporting event ever. Don't get me wrong this is amazing but I'd rather see it used less and on more important events
We need this America back. The national anthem stands for all races
Hell yeah
Amen. And all races should stand for the National Anthem.
You're like a naive girlfriend. Just because that's how you want it to be doesn't meant that's how it is.
@@christopherjuengling8989 They know, they were just saying that's how they want it to be and I agree. They were just sayin they wish it was like that
@@robinsonnobles6246 yeah you're probably right. Didn't mean to take it the wrong way. But I agree, I just want everyone to stand together again.
Is it weird if I cried even if I'm not American... so fucking beautiful
knowing what the song itself means makes it 20x better.
+OneMileyCyrusFanVlog Me TOOOO
+OneMileyCyrusFanVlog everybody is a potential American ;)
+OneMileyCyrusFanVlog even trump supporters don't oppose anyone. Trust me.
you cry for freedom..it doesnt matter where u from..
The intensity when "because our flag was still there" rolls around was awesome, we may be one big dysfunctional family, but man you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!!
"All gave some;
Some gave All"
I’m just imagining the lyrics with the word “because” and it’s actually hilarious.
Singing “because our flag” instead of “that our flag” takes all the grandeur out of that moment in the anthem for some reason, and it’s cracking me up.
A lot of countries are forgetting that and are trying to poke the sleeping bear.
Best National Anthem ever. I hate how singers get on stage and add thier own silly twist to it. Keep country, hip hop, pop and all other music genres out of it and sing it properly the way the people of Boston just did. God Bless America.
@fergie
I also enjoy having a crowd sing it more than watching a soloist perform, but if a soloist performs it, their interpretation can still be very moving. Almost as moving as this
ever heard of Josè Feliciano?
Esteban Campos But José F.’s rendition is good it can stay
Yes
this is how our anthem was meant to be sung, not a small choir, not one person, but a nation a people and a country
That's Boston, That's america. I'm truly lucky to be allowed to call myself american. god bless the united states!
Dorian Payne do a dna test I’m 99% sure you don’t have American blood, sorry not sorry
@@saraeriksson6525 Did your parents love you?
Sara Eriksson What?
I’m so confused what your point is
“American blood” isn’t a thing because American isn’t an ethnicity.
When I get my citizenship, I am an an America, regardless of my DNA
Dorian Payne god bless The men in in uniform who defend women and children and stand up to for their country while others Neil.
@@saraeriksson6525 lmao there is no American blood. American is a feeling
I love this. No democrat, no Republican, no black, no white. Just one nation uniting together.
Amazing, you can still here the accent.
Emo Supremo dude you Boston people have the most amazing accents from Arizona btw
Im crying 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Observant213 same here brotha, not Boston technically. Maybe about 25 min south of Boston (with no traffic) is where I reside. Good ol’ Brockton lol 😂. I don’t have the heaviest Boston accent. But I def have it. Realized it when I was working for a moving company and had to travel out of state. Apparently we talk faster than most folks. The lady we were moving was obsessed with it, she literally told me to keep talking.
I heard the word. "Stahhs"
It's so weird. I've lived my entire 60 years on the South Shore of Massachusetts & my accent is so thick, yet neither of my 2 daughters (born approximately 11 years apart), who have always lived with me, have it. I speak the perfect example of a Boston accent (cah; gahden; stahs; pahk) but they don't.
something about so many voices singing in sync gives a quality and power that no one person can match.
e pluribus unum, happy 4th
Armies have been doing it for centuries...still very fitting though.
E pluribus unum. "Out of many - one." Lends a special meaning here, doesn't it?
In God we Trust
Ok5
happy 4th
Remember when we all loved each other this much
This is still out there. It's just harder to find. But it's still there.
Underrated comment
Yea cause it was actually a nation with an identity, core values. As time goes on it is becoming more and more of whoever from wherever, that can’t create a nation
Brought a tear to my eye, such patriotism. Much love from Canada :)
Thanks our fellow brother, Canada.
why are Canadians so nice?
Love right back at you from Boston!
No. I’m Canadian and I appreciate this >:)
As much as we like to tease you, we couldn’t ask for better neighbors. We truly love our Canadian brothers and sister.
Even as a Canadian I find this touching and gives me chills
Best neighbors ever, we love y’all❤️
I’m not very patriotic, I admit, but a scene like this could bring anybody to tears.
youre confusing patriotism with something else then.
You should be more patriotic then. My father, uncle, and brother all died in Iraq defending this country, so ya. Your probably a city person who dosnt care about what people go through to keep you safe
@@ameliamae1015 My grandfather died for my right to not blindly defend everything our government does. But go off sis
@@ameliamae1015 Calm the fuck down. I'm sorry for your loss, but Jesus. They just said they're not very patriotic, not anti-America
@@ameliamae1015I'd bet your father, uncle, and brother certainly didn't give up their lives for you to boast about their sacrifice on UA-cam like you earned something or contributed in some way... they died so other, free Americans could live their lives however they wanted. So stop criticizing and carry on, I'll thank your kin when I meet them in the next life as fellow veterans.
I'm English and this gives me goosebumps. Beautiful.
+Matthew Pearce I'm South African, and this also gave me goosebumps.. Makes you think, doesn't have anything to do with which country it is and whether its your country or not, we can all relate to longing to be part of something greater than ourselves, and on that night in that arena, damn! must've been a great feeling
Anton Chigurh thats supposedly true. however it was never sung till the 20th century. twas a poem. love a good pub song though
England birthed us after all
The biggest thing was because it was after the bombings that happened only a couple blocks away
Love from America!
This made me tear up. So proud to be an American. :)
God Bless America
Same :)
This is why we stand for the flag. This is why we sing this song.
These people went through hell, and it did not break them. Together, we are strong.
Amen Brother🇺🇸🇺🇸
And nobody asked
@@Cokepencilpsd i did
@@Cokepencilpsd ratio
@@Cokepencilpsd mf really said "nobody asked" 🤓🤓🤓
I love that the singer knew when to step back and let the crowd have this moment. What a thoroughgoing professional.
It’s 2021. I come back and watch this video every now and then. I’m a grown ass man and it brings tears to my eyes thinking about how divided we are right now. We seem to forget that we’re on the same team. Love each other. Respect each other.
2023 here. same, man. same.
I wish we didn't need a tragedy just to be this united.
This is America. Not the shit you see today on tv and UA-cam.
Funny, because the song This is America is a total rejection of your comment.
@@burdy2959 Doesn't mean that song is right. I agree with OP.
Oh boy it got so much worse
I was at that game and I hugged the guy next to me and there was no hesitation between it. Truly a moving scene
As someone who was about 100 feet away from the second bomb in a small restaurant when they went off this brings me to tears God bless those of whom we lost on that fateful day and there families..
@Black Licorice it was on April 15th 2013.
In tears... So in love with our beautiful country! God Bless America.
I miss this patriotic spirit and respect 🇺🇸
nah Patriotism sucks
Well you're shit craic
@@felix.76ers Okay then jackass
@@felix.76ers you're unsure of what patriotism means and thats fine.
Much respect to the singer for allowing this moment.
How can anyone dislike this
Henry Hahn commies
liberals
@@HM-dc7vh I'm a liberal, asshole, and I posted this video.
I could watch this for hours and still feel the energy, the pride, and the strength of all those in the stadium. This is by far the best anthem I've heard.
Im from Sweden and this gave me goof-bumps Respect to the Boston fans (I'm a Ranger)
Support your local team! FFS!
my local Modo Hockey now your facts FFS xD

We need more of this after such terrible divisive times weve been through. Right or left, still american
Stay strong, America. Cheers from Brazil.
Nothing will ever stop me from loving my country 🇺🇸
Hooah! I'm from Texas and a 15 year U. S. Veteran! Hell Yah! God Bless Boston! Awesomeness!
I'm not American I'm in fact British but this gave me goose bumps its also so lovely to hear American actually sing thier anthem
This is one of the many reasons I love America, so patriotic, really hope to soon be able to come and live there
Have you made it yet?
Zach Miller I made it to the states this time last year went to Florida was amazing and I’d love to go back once the pandemic is over
@@MeqoMan the man responds after 3 years................ LEGEND. Also glad to hear you enjoyed it : )
YourHostGhost I loved every single second I can’t wait to come back
@@MeqoMan We can’t wait to have you back either!! 🇺🇸❤️
As someone who lived through the Boston marathon bombing. This is just amazing
I can't even imagine how frightened everyone must have been... But the patriot spirit came through! God bless and I hope you are alright.
I'm not American and this brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful gesture :)
I love how the singer tries to sing the last verse but it’s completely drowned out by the crowd and he just gave it to them. Amazing
I’m British and I’m wondering why this doesn’t happen at all American sporting events because even as a Brit I’m willing to admit that this is pretty awesome
Almost brought me to tears, I wish we could have this kind of unity and patriotism more often. Sadly people hate the country because of a few bad things in it or for no reason at all, they just think its cool to hate America
Lot of people hated having tens of thousands die in Vietnam needlessly
@@phunkyphresh3799 People like you are the exact problem he was talking about. We’re not perfect by any means, no country is but freedom is interwoven in this country, anything else is a lie.
@@snusemcgoose1001 Lots of things bad the US has done. Over 50k dead Americans in Vietnam. Invasion of Iraq. Slavery. Destruction of indigenous societies. Multiple central and South American dictators propped up.
Imagine telling someone whose dad was killed in Vietnam over nonsense they should love America more. I’m fond of America compared to most countries but not a lot of people just hate it for funsies.
@@phunkyphresh3799 And every other country on the planet has historical issues just like that, Russia killed millions of its own people, Germany killed millions of the Jewish population. Every country has skeletons in their closet, America is no different in that regard, however we fight for freedom more than anyone else
Chill down my spine, arms, and legs. I loved it.
There is nothing in the world like listening to a whole crowd unite to sing the anthem. Gives me chills and almost brings a tear to my eye.
happy late 4th of july from australia you legendary yanks
Bloody brilliant. Tear to my eye here in Aus...keep loving you lot.
As a Canadian this gives me chills by The crowd singing
We by far have the best national anthem and nation when we all stick together
they needed to sing this he knew when to stop
Absolutely amazing! To be there in person would have been a wonderful experience. I am Canadian and have always loved your anthem and and the respect Americans show in singing it so passionately. Love to the U.S.A.from the Great White North. Stay strong!
Its a shame it takes such tragedy for us to come together like this. This should be the norm
True, 9/11 was very similar in how amercians responded. I wish we could have that level of compassion and understanding without a terrible event being the cause.
As a patriot, this will always bring a tear to my eye. The crowd singing our national anthem symbolizes that we’re all united as a nation and will stay strong no matter what.
Goosebumps and chills! Much Love from Ecuador!
Right back at you from Boston!
A truly moving experience, so fortunate to have been able to go to this game and experience it. It's one thing to experience it live when it happened but a whole other thing, the feeling in that stadium was incredible
Jan 6, 2021 idk why just needed to hear this
Watching this after January 6th made me cry for the first time i can remember
2021
This is how it’s meant to sung.
It’s not a pop performance, it’s an anthem.
I saw this on TV live and I had serious goosebumps. I have never been more proud of the city of Boston than after this.
I've had this video bookmarked for years. Every once in awhile I watch it.. I'm a grown man and this video brings me to tears every time I see it.
Tears without fail everytime
This deserves more views
I got chills. I was at this game. I was never so proud to be from Boston than in that moment.
Public Announcement:.................. Have all the fans sing the National Anthem............ They did since the beginning of the MLB Back in the 1800"s... till the early 1970's.......... Who care who sing the National Anthem through a microphone........ Let the fans all sing it together........... GOD BLESS AMERICA
God I love moments like this. We had the crowd at one of my high school's basketball games sing the national anthem together and it was so fun to be a part of. It wasn't planned or anything either. They normally play it over a speaker, but there was technical issues and the guy trying to play it just started signing, causing almost everyone to join in. God bless America.
Never ceases to amaze me. Downloaded this audio a few months back and still get chills. Way to go Boston, and they are hockey fans. Damn patriots and I love ever bit.
Faith in humanity, restored
What’s makes me sad, is that this is the type of America I may never be able to witness. Where we cared more about our country and it’s betterment rather than letting the country fail as a consolation prize for a rival political party winning at anything. We are now so divided in extremes we want all the country to lose rather let the rival party win, when some choices on either side could help us as a whole. I am 21, this was 10 years ago and I am sad that I was too young to appreciate how great it used to be.
i come back to this video each year... so proud to be from this city. incredibly special... chills each time
2022 we need to come together again, we need this now more than ever.
This is why i'm proud to live in Boston
So much ''merica happenin right now
This totally gave me chills. I'm a Flyers fan to the bone but an even bigger hockey fan overall and I give a lot of respect to Rene Rancourt and the fans that go to Bruins games, they definitely have heart and this moment was amazing to hear!
Damn, a decade later and i still get instant chills hearing this. I miss rene, he's the goat.
All the love to Americans. Lots of love from a proud New Zealander.
This makes me proud to be American and I'm a Canadian.
Anytime i hear a crowd singing, the way the voices and song meshes together in perfect pitch, it sounds otherwordly and beautiful with any song
God bless America 💙💙💙love from India
Beautiful. Chills. America.
Was lucky enough to witness the lowering of the stars and stripes and hear this sang at Disney world in 2018..as a Brit it made every hair on my neck and arms stand on end.. amazingly emotional.
Being a Navy veteran this is the most powerful version of Our National Anthem I ever heard Thank you and God Bless Boston !!!!
We never lost our way, tragedies like that just makes us even more unified.
Hands down America's greatest city......
Kelly Quinn city?🤨😂😂😂😂
@@SUPREME-iq9wu Boston
Due to one viral video?
coming back to this in 2022 it really gives you chills and shows you how united we really are 🇺🇸🇺🇸
If you don’t get chills listening to this you’re crazy
this damn near made me cry. Especially when the crowd said "and the rockets red glair" you could just hear the patriotism in their voices. props to the singer for stopping and letting them have this beautiful moment.
American anthem always gets my emotions pumping.
What a damn shame what is happening to America today.
Love from Poland!
What a beautiful act of patriotism. Made me cry.
Tears. There is just something so powerful about a crowd coming together
Asi como los gringos se admiraron al ver y escuchar como ruge el Cuscatlán en apoyo a 🇸🇻 con nuestro himno esto es tremendamente épico se siente el patriotismo 🇺🇸
literally brought tears to my eyes.
REMEMBER WHEN WE ALL LOVED EACH OTHER.
Shout out in 2021, I needed this! Thank you
2021 needs more moments like this
wow so many chills for our hometown #bostonstrong
I could not watch this with dry eyes. Teared up at the start. This was beautiful.
This and the ending of the movie “Inside Out”, balled my eyes out
Proud being an American 🇺🇸.
