This version of 'Sweet Caroline' has such a deep draw of respect for an unknown feeling that transpired in Neil within an unknown time in space. 'Where it began, I can't begin to knowin'. So well worded for his inspiration of his true love at that time was an amazement to himself 'Who'd a believe you'd come along'. And the photograph of young Caroline just happened to fit the feeling for what lyric he needed to 'come along'. The introduction orchestration that you inserted prior to the HAN concert in 1972 brought about a respectful feeling as well. So well done, Doug, with all its overtones of inspirational photos to take us back to a simpler time that inspires a feeling of love within our young hearts. ✨
Thank you Donita. I am appreciative of your ability to pen Neil's feelings for Marcia back in 1969. Worth noting that Neil wrote this song for Marcia in May, 1969 and married her in December 1969, some 7 months later. In an interview Neil remarked on the power of song; his songs. In reference to his marriage to his first wife Jaye Posner whom he wrote 'Hear Them Bells' - _"It was a very striking_ _warning to me to be careful about what I write in these songs and who I give them to."_ And yes! The incurable romantic did it, thankfully, again! 😊 The orchestration is prior to the HAN concert is 'Lament in D Minor' from his 'I'm Glad You're here with me tonight".
@@NeilDiamondCentral ... Thank you, Doug, for identifying that beautiful introduction, 'Lament in D Minor'. I love romanticism. Neil exudes it. So grateful for your talent and this website. ✨
Thanks for your comment Karin. Marcia was Neil's wife for 25 years. Neil had an appointment to attend a recording studio to record a few songs. As it happened, there was a double booking with... Elvis Presley. The embarrassed studio executives asked Neil if he could cancel his booking to let Elvis record at the studio. Neil, of course agreed. Headed back to his hotel room in Memphis (Tennessee). He sat down and decided to write another song to add to his repertoire. "Sweet Caroline" was written in one hour! The song was dedicated to his new wife (married 1969, this song recorded in 1969. However, Neil needed a 3 syllable name, Car-ro-line. Marcia simply did not work. Here is my latest upload - ua-cam.com/video/nSOeIZJrrmM/v-deo.html Hope you like it. Best wishes, Doug
🎼🎶🥰 One of my dear favorite songs by the ever so beloved Neil Diamond, "Sweet Caroline ".. On Sunday, December 31, 2023, I went to the market for last minute items for dinner. Walked through the auto-sliding door and boom!! I was ushered in to the opening strains of "Sweet Caroline "!... Did a little hop-skip and had a great 5 minutes just listening....almost forgot why I was there! 😊 When you have loved Neil Diamond for 50+- years, you are one of the fortunate people on planet Earth! 😊🦋💕 Thanks Doug, for reminding me to Catch Up!! More videos to watch...the newer ones😉
Thanks for your comments Louise, wonderful! Guess that made a somewhat normal, boring shopping a great deal more bearable.... to the extent that you almost forgot the reason why you were there. 😊 Can't remember if you've watched this one - ua-cam.com/video/yMZW6jO3y5w/v-deo.html Hope you are well. Veronica and I both have COVID. Aren't feeling the best. Take care, Doug
@NeilDiamondCentral Oh dear! So sorry about COVID...hope you two are better very soon! Bill and I have dodged the bullet for 3 years...hope it stays that way. I do know African Trilogy well. Have not watched your video yet, but that will be next. I suppose I should dwell on the 80's and 90's first to catch up. I love hearing ND songs playing in stores. 😊 Take care, Doug. ..get better soon. Louise 🌻
Thank you Louise. We are now testing negative, but the side effects linger on. We too dodged COVID for the past 4 years. Only got it on December 30 when we went to a fairly crowed venue with our granddaughter, Gemma. Thankfully she is fine. Guess we've become way too complacent; lesson learned. Been working on another video for the past week. Another difficult one. One that may not please many, I suspect. That said, being one to always rely on facts... I must. Take care, Doug

Any version of this masterpiece is always perfect. Now that I have grey hair I find it amazing that I remember being in his parents store in Brighton Beach ( On Ocean Terrace ) and his father saying " how is he going to make a living, all he knows is the hair and the guitar "...
Thanks for your comments Mark, much appreciated. Wow! You actually shopped at Diamonds! Interesting to hear of Akeeba "Kieve" Diamond's comment. Understandable though from the standpoint of a caring father. That said, Neil Sedaka in an interview saying - "I remember his father, very proudly saying, _'My son is also a singer/songwriter',_ and he had his picture on the wall just behind the cash register."

Hey Doug, I'm really being spoilt by your choices lately! Recently, it was ND's pivotal performance of "Holly Holy" from HAN and now his signature song from that greatest live album ever at the equally brilliant Greek Theatre, his spiritual home. IMHO, it's this version the crowds on the terraces and bleaches of sporting arenas around the world should be belting out - so good, so good, so good!

My Mom use to play the album Tap Root Manuscript when I was young. I loved it too. I now own every album that came out in vinyl, plus CDs that were not. I have a 1965 copy of the TV show Mannix, in which Neil played himself singing in a bar. Then I own the VHS copy of one concert and DVD of another. Also saw him live at the San Jose Arena and 3 concerts in Fresno, California.

. . . Far and away, Neil’s - and therefore the Universe’s finest rendition of this song. Neil and that “Tight as a nun’s crotch” then group of masterful musicians - ‘The Neil Diamond Band’, version 1972, were 5 nights into a 10-night stand at ‘The Greek’ following on from Neil’s 7-night stand exactly one year prior; let us not forget that almost NEVER did any other performing artist play more than, perhaps, 2 or so nights at ‘The Greek’. Think about that. And think about, also, that when Neil next announced dates for ‘The Greek’ in spring/summer ‘86 ( … “And the spring became the summer”…) a full decade since his ‘Love at The Greek’, previous 8-night stand on his return to the stage in early ‘76, after his 3 1/2 year sabbatical from performing (actual recording dates late August/early September) that in 1986, 5 nights of concert dates were announced : Neil sold-out 14 . Back to the song. It is, simply put, the exactly correct writer/singer/performer in precisely the most-perfect place in both time and space. Never my most favourite ‘N.D.’ song by a long way - but far, far, better than all your ‘McCartney’s & Lennon’s and ‘Jagger’s and Bowie’s’ and all the ‘others’ ever came up with. Neil’s delivery in this specific rendition is immaculate; not only the ‘sanctity’ of the words and music :- ‘Hopes and dreams’, ‘failing but trying agin to continue in hope for a better day and time ahead’ - so very much of Neil’s great music and lyric’s over his 50-year career is just that: ‘The guidance to us all that there has to be ‘hope’, no matter what we may be enduring at any moment/day/ week/month or year(s) … in time. And God bless him for that - just for ‘starters’. Neil’s phrasing is ‘Sinatra/Bennett or Monroe like; let’s not forget that Sinatra describe Matt Monroe as … “The best of us …” Neil is there in this song - and never ‘only’ this song; the pacing … the spacing, the heart and soul of it all … His quiet line added at exactly the correct ‘weight’ about his Lord knowing just how wretched he (us) had felt in darker days. And, now, here was some new light, recently travelled from ‘spring to summer’ … in to new life. His timbre and tone on their own have not even been approached by any other singer in my humble opinion. Many ‘dive into’ this now-classic popular song (Rod Stewart, murdering it at the late-Queen’s celebration’s (was it her … ‘DIAMOND’ jubilee?.. a strident ‘non-royalist’ here) but then again he never could ‘carry a tune’ - not even in a bucket. And so very many more. Still, I’m fairly-certain that we’ll forgive their transgressions - even Mr. Presley … and that is ‘going some’ I know, but as a most insightfully wise and caring and loving ‘fellow’ one pleased from a tree : “ Forgive them father - for they know not what they do “… ‘ Amen ‘ to that .
Thanks very much for your comments Donald, much appreciated. You are a thinker. Nothing passes you by unnoticed: unobserved. I concur with your comments. A link to our website - www.neildiamondcentral.com/diamond-at-christmas Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take care, Doug
Hello Doug, ‘09:00 on the 19th’ here in a blowy,dank and December-dark, almost end-of-year day here. Sending you all of those very kind Christmas & New Year wishes to you and your’s in reply. “All be well” … it is ALL that truly matters. All ‘else’ is details to be attended to. Thank you, once again for your kind word’s re: ‘Sweet Caroline’, HOT AUGUST NIGHT; Yes, indeed … the ‘detail’ has always sort-of ‘jumped out’ at me - ever since I was a little fellow; just ‘wired that way’. I do believe Neil, himself is of a very similar if not exact-same modus operandi : ‘INFJ’ on the Meyer-Briggs charts. It explained so very, very much the moment I discovered that out about myself in the recent past. “Better late than never” I do agree. Glad tidings to you all ‘Down Under’.
Hello Donald, It's a hot dry day here 35C at the moment. A few fires about one approximately 10kms from our place. Perth Cam - www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/webcams/perth_australia_2063523 I know precisely what you mean about being "wired that way". Same here. As an example, when creating a video, I will look out for the smallest of errors/glitches. Often the case where I'll generate and re-generate a video several times before I upload it on UA-cam. Even something as a line (at the bottom of an image) will cause me to rectify it and re-generate it again. Just me. 😔

This version of 'Sweet Caroline' has such a deep draw of respect for an unknown feeling that transpired in Neil within an unknown time in space. 'Where it began, I can't begin to knowin'. So well worded for his inspiration of his true love at that time was an amazement to himself 'Who'd a believe you'd come along'. And the photograph of young Caroline just happened to fit the feeling for what lyric he needed to 'come along'. The introduction orchestration that you inserted prior to the HAN concert in 1972 brought about a respectful feeling as well. So well done, Doug, with all its overtones of inspirational photos to take us back to a simpler time that inspires a feeling of love within our young hearts. ✨
Thank you Donita. I am appreciative of your ability to pen Neil's feelings for Marcia back in 1969. Worth noting that Neil wrote this song for Marcia in May, 1969 and married her in December 1969, some 7 months later.
In an interview Neil remarked on the power of song; his songs. In reference to his marriage to his first wife Jaye Posner whom he wrote 'Hear Them Bells' - _"It was a very striking_ _warning to me to be careful about what I write in these songs and who I give them to."_ And yes! The incurable romantic did it, thankfully, again! 😊
The orchestration is prior to the HAN concert is 'Lament in D Minor' from his 'I'm Glad You're here with me tonight".
@@NeilDiamondCentral ...
Thank you, Doug, for identifying that beautiful introduction, 'Lament in D Minor'. I love romanticism. Neil exudes it. So grateful for your talent and this website. ✨
So ganz versteh ich das nicht... Sie hiess doch Marcia, mir haette das als sie nicht so recht gefallen.
Thanks for your comment Karin. Marcia was Neil's wife for 25 years. Neil had an appointment to attend a recording studio to record a few songs. As it happened, there was a double booking with... Elvis Presley. The embarrassed studio executives asked Neil if he could cancel his booking to let Elvis record at the studio. Neil, of course agreed. Headed back to his hotel room in Memphis (Tennessee). He sat down and decided to write another song to add to his repertoire. "Sweet Caroline" was written in one hour! The song was dedicated to his new wife (married 1969, this song recorded in 1969. However, Neil needed a 3 syllable name, Car-ro-line. Marcia simply did not work.
Here is my latest upload - ua-cam.com/video/nSOeIZJrrmM/v-deo.html Hope you like it. Best wishes, Doug
🎼🎶🥰 One of my dear favorite songs by the ever so beloved Neil Diamond, "Sweet Caroline "..
On Sunday, December 31, 2023, I went to the market for last minute items for dinner. Walked through the auto-sliding door and boom!! I was ushered in to the opening strains of "Sweet Caroline "!... Did a little hop-skip and had a great 5 minutes just listening....almost forgot why I was there! 😊
When you have loved Neil Diamond for 50+- years, you are one of the fortunate people on planet Earth! 😊🦋💕
Thanks Doug, for reminding me to Catch Up!! More videos to watch...the newer ones😉
Thanks for your comments Louise, wonderful! Guess that made a somewhat normal, boring shopping a great deal more bearable.... to the extent that you almost forgot the reason why you were there. 😊
Can't remember if you've watched this one - ua-cam.com/video/yMZW6jO3y5w/v-deo.html
Hope you are well. Veronica and I both have COVID. Aren't feeling the best. Take care, Doug
@NeilDiamondCentral
Oh dear! So sorry about COVID...hope you two are better very soon! Bill and I have dodged the bullet for 3 years...hope it stays that way.
I do know African Trilogy well. Have not watched your video yet, but that will be next. I suppose I should dwell on the 80's and 90's first to catch up.
I love hearing ND songs playing in stores. 😊
Take care, Doug. ..get better soon. Louise 🌻
Thank you Louise. We are now testing negative, but the side effects linger on. We too dodged COVID for the past 4 years. Only got it on December 30 when we went to a fairly crowed venue with our granddaughter, Gemma. Thankfully she is fine. Guess we've become way too complacent; lesson learned.
Been working on another video for the past week. Another difficult one. One that may not please many, I suspect. That said, being one to always rely on facts... I must. Take care, Doug

Any version of this masterpiece is always perfect. Now that I have grey hair I find it amazing that I remember being in his parents store in Brighton Beach ( On Ocean Terrace ) and his father saying " how is he going to make a living, all he knows is the hair and the guitar "...
Thanks for your comments Mark, much appreciated. Wow! You actually shopped at Diamonds! Interesting to hear of Akeeba "Kieve" Diamond's comment. Understandable though from the standpoint of a caring father. That said, Neil Sedaka in an interview saying -
"I remember his father, very proudly saying, _'My son is also a singer/songwriter',_ and he had his picture on the wall just behind the cash register."
Incidentally, did you ever bump into Neil?

@@NeilDiamondCentral NO, I never bumped in to him.
😔 Pity. I was under the impression, from the various interviews, that he spent a great deal of time working in the shop and that his younger brother, Harvey was the one who roamed the neighbourhood.😊
@@NeilDiamondCentral Being of Jewish descent myself, I recall the father speaking to my mother calling the guitar a fa-cock-da guitar. Then of course going to the BBB for the rest of the day... Sure miss those simple days👍
Da hat sich aber der Dad gewaltig geirrt... Aber er durfte es noch miterleben, dass sein Sohn einer der Groessten wurde... ❤❤❤
Beautifully done. You know how to represent the atmosphere of The Greek well with these images.
Thanks very much for your kind comments Lesley, much appreciated. Unfortunately, I am only able to draw from an extremely pool of images where Hot August Night is concerned. If only... 😔

Esta canção tem uma magia especial!!! É impossível ouvi- la sem cantar junto, bater palmas ou até mesmo dançar!!! Cada um de nós, que admira e segue o trabalho de Diamond, tem em seu coração, um pouquinho da "sweet caroline"!!!
Obrigada, "Sweet Neil Diamond"!!! 💝

Hey Doug, I'm really being spoilt by your choices lately! Recently, it was ND's pivotal performance of "Holly Holy" from HAN and now his signature song from that greatest live album ever at the equally brilliant Greek Theatre, his spiritual home. IMHO, it's this version the crowds on the terraces and bleaches of sporting arenas around the world should be belting out - so good, so good, so good! Heartfelt thanks for the compilation and best regards, Paul
Thanks for your kind comments Paul, much appreciated. My pleasure. Always look forward to hearing from you.

My Mom use to play the album Tap Root Manuscript when I was young. I loved it too. I now own every album that came out in vinyl, plus CDs that were not. I have a 1965 copy of the TV show Mannix, in which Neil played himself singing in a bar. Then I own the VHS copy of one concert and DVD of another. Also saw him live at the San Jose Arena and 3 concerts in Fresno, California.
Thanks for your kind comments Passquale. All praise to your Mom. a lady of exquisite taste in music.

Obrigada pelo carinho ❤
Thank you so much! 😘
. . . Far and away, Neil’s - and therefore the Universe’s finest rendition of this song. Neil and that “Tight as a nun’s crotch” then group of masterful musicians - ‘The Neil Diamond Band’, version 1972, were 5 nights into a 10-night stand at ‘The Greek’ following on from Neil’s 7-night stand exactly one year prior; let us not forget that almost NEVER did any other performing artist play more than, perhaps, 2 or so nights at ‘The Greek’. Think about that. And think about, also, that when Neil next announced dates for ‘The Greek’ in spring/summer ‘86 ( … “And the spring became the summer”…) a full decade since his ‘Love at The Greek’, previous 8-night stand on his return to the stage in early ‘76, after his 3 1/2 year sabbatical from performing (actual recording dates late August/early September) that in 1986, 5 nights of concert dates were announced : Neil sold-out 14 .
Back to the song. It is, simply put, the exactly correct writer/singer/performer in precisely the most-perfect place in both time and space.
Never my most favourite ‘N.D.’ song by a long way - but far, far, better than all your ‘McCartney’s & Lennon’s and ‘Jagger’s and Bowie’s’ and all the ‘others’ ever came up with. Neil’s delivery in this specific rendition is immaculate; not only the ‘sanctity’ of the words and music :- ‘Hopes and dreams’, ‘failing but trying agin to continue in hope for a better day and time ahead’ - so very much of Neil’s great music and lyric’s over his 50-year career is just that: ‘The guidance to us all that there has to be ‘hope’, no matter what we may be enduring at any moment/day/ week/month or year(s) … in time. And God bless him for that - just for ‘starters’.
Neil’s phrasing is ‘Sinatra/Bennett or Monroe like; let’s not forget that Sinatra describe Matt Monroe as …
“The best of us …” Neil is there in this song - and never ‘only’ this song; the pacing … the spacing, the heart and soul of it all … His quiet line added at exactly the correct ‘weight’ about his Lord knowing just how wretched he (us) had felt in darker days. And, now,
here was some new light, recently travelled from ‘spring to summer’ …
in to new life. His timbre and tone on their own have not even been approached by any other singer in my humble opinion. Many ‘dive into’ this now-classic popular song (Rod Stewart, murdering it at the late-Queen’s celebration’s (was it her …
‘DIAMOND’ jubilee?.. a strident ‘non-royalist’ here) but then again he never could ‘carry a tune’ - not even in a bucket. And so very many more. Still, I’m fairly-certain that we’ll forgive their transgressions - even Mr. Presley … and that is ‘going some’ I know, but as a most insightfully wise and caring and loving ‘fellow’ one pleased from a tree :
“ Forgive them father - for they know not what they do “…
‘ Amen ‘ to that .
Thanks very much for your comments Donald, much appreciated. You are a thinker. Nothing passes you by unnoticed: unobserved. I concur with your comments.
A link to our website - www.neildiamondcentral.com/diamond-at-christmas Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take care, Doug
Hello Doug, ‘09:00 on the 19th’ here in a blowy,dank and December-dark, almost end-of-year day here. Sending you all of those very kind Christmas & New Year wishes to you and your’s in reply. “All be well” … it is ALL that truly matters. All ‘else’ is details to be attended to. Thank you, once again for your kind word’s re: ‘Sweet Caroline’, HOT AUGUST NIGHT; Yes, indeed … the ‘detail’ has always sort-of ‘jumped out’ at me - ever since I was a little fellow; just ‘wired that way’. I do believe Neil, himself is of a very similar if not exact-same modus operandi : ‘INFJ’ on the Meyer-Briggs charts. It explained so very, very much the moment I discovered that out about myself in the recent past. “Better late than never” I do agree.
Glad tidings to you all ‘Down Under’.
Hello Donald, It's a hot dry day here 35C at the moment. A few fires about one approximately 10kms from our place.
Perth Cam - www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/webcams/perth_australia_2063523
I know precisely what you mean about being "wired that way". Same here. As an example, when creating a video, I will look out for the smallest of errors/glitches. Often the case where I'll generate and re-generate a video several times before I upload it on UA-cam. Even something as a line (at the bottom of an image) will cause me to rectify it and re-generate it again. Just me. 😔
👏👏👏👏👏🌈
Thank you Rainbow🌈. Thank you for viewing many of my videos, much appreciated.
