    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

    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.

    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. :-)

    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!

    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.

      @Mike-ie5xu 4 місяці тому

      10 years later, maybe you'll see this comment, maybe you won't. But I have the background information on why they played this specific audio track and didn't have any other track, instrumental track, or a live band:
      This is one of the oldest recordings of his song, and was technically just outside of copyright, so they didn't have to pay another production company or one of the predatory investors that buys up song rights just to use it. They also didn't have to coordinate with local actors and performers unions, which can derail things for weeks or months. This Boston performance was thrown together over a couple days, and they worked with what they legally could.
      And yes, total class act to not just lip sync and fake it. It kind of makes you feel like every time one of us normal people sings the song behind the steering wheel...lol

    A testament to the powerful effects of Neil Diamond's musical talents. He makes me want to 1:46 (upper left corner) every time. Oh, Neil.

    With all the criticism of this performance we should remember that it was not planned or rehearsed, he did it to support Boston and didn't even charge them, I think that says alot about him! Love the spirit in the crowd!

      Can't imagine any criticism. His voice has not changed a bit! And now I just love him for the human that he is ❤️

    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".

    I am afraid you miss the point. This wasn't a concert - Neil Diamond showed up on his own nickel and asked if he could sing along with the standard recording we have all heard so many times at Fenway Park. Sweet Caroline is a tradition at Red Sox games and at a very emotional time following the marathon bombing out comes Neil Diamond to sing along - pretty classy in my opinion.

    As someone who lived in Boston at the time, this was so meaningful to us. I know it’s played in stadiums all around the world for all kinds of sports, but “Sweet Caroline” belongs to Fenway at the end of the day. Challenge any Bostonian on that and they will fight you.

    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.

    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.
