Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline LIVE Reaction! He has all the Milf's and Gilf's screaming...

[@AngelaGoodwin-fh6fw]

Okay BP. I'm a 66-year-old Black woman who LOVES Neil Diamond. Just attended the musical based on his life and career called "A Beautiful Noise". Though it wasn't the real Neil on stage, it was fabulous, and it reminded me of this man's genius, charm, and longevity. He's great! He's still with us at 83, albeit with Parkinson's disease.

[@PamMyers-ze4ry]

I had to laugh. Thank you for this. Secondly, I love Beautiful Noise. That song is such a wonderful song about celebrating your life where you are and how you can hear music everywhere.

[@ahwhite2022]

That is an excellent and well-written musical. Choosing to tell the story in that format, and around the lyrics of "I am" like that was just brilliant writing.

[@laurakali6522]

Saw it in Connecticut, great show. I also saw him live about 10 years ago for the first time, I’m 61 and felt the need to see him even though I’m an old rocker.

[@reneeholcomb9952]

Always loved his songs

[@annehayes-grillo6600]

In his prime, Neil's voice could knock you over with its power.

[@janp719]

Just like Manilow now, Elton John now, Billy Joel now, etc.

[@hazcatsophia]

I was just thinking that this was better when he was younger.

[@CurtisWheatley-g7c]

Yahhhhhhhh

[@CurtisWheatley-g7c]

42 here, that's why I'm like listen too him in his prime, he could fuck with Sanatra, within voice.

[@CurtisWheatley-g7c]

I. 42 and I'm Nativ3 American and French what,

[@fortworth450]

You have an older audience because this is our music we grew up with brings back great memories,thanks

[@susanyaworski5895]

So true.

[@garyslittlesister7496]

You're fun! I like that you don't take yourself too seriously.

[@midi510]

And we get a kick out of seeing a young(er) person's reaction to the music we grew up on.

[@jteague1955]

We tell you our age (esp. 60s and 70s) because we want you to know that we were here for the music when it came out. We like watching your reactions to it because it affirms to the world that our era of music was the era of the greatest music in the world, excepting maybe the era of old masters classical. And we are proud when you appreciate it. And maybe a little prouder when you rave about it! From a 69-year-old white woman...

[@alandhopewell]

I'm a sixty-eight year old multiracial guy, and I love Neil Diamond!

[@hollycaron3567]

I have a bit of a story. I worked with a gentleman and he said when he lived in LA he had a neighbor that was a song writer. Every-once-in-awhile he would ask this gentleman to come over to critic a song. Well the neighbor moved and the gentleman found a lady and they got married. About 20yrs later the wife said she wanted to go see Neil Diamond. They are at the concert and the gentleman said "HEY! that's my neighbor!!!"

[@hazcatsophia]

That’s a great story. Probably happened a lot in LA. 😊

[@TheEricthefruitbat]

EVERYBODY loves Sweet Caroline. Young people, old people, male, female, metal heads, classical lovers.

[@TexasMagnolia]

58 here. You’re my favorite reactor! Neil Diamond not only had the most powerful voice but, one of the greatest songwriters & entertainers!

[@Ketterer75]

Stamina? This was 2012. He was 70. My wife and I flew cross country to attend this concert. Show went over two hours. No opener or intermission. When I first saw him in 1986, the shows were pushing every bit of three hours long. His stage entrances were God-like! The hair on the back of your neck stood up when he appeared on stage! My wife and I have been to hundreds of shows over the years. Everything from this to 90’s rock, oldies, R&B, Country, Blues, etc. Artists still with us and some now deceased. No one we saw before or since has ever given us that type of moment just walking onto a stage!

[@suepall5425]

Neil Diamond here is quite elderly. His powerful voice is fading, but the gravel was always there and made his voice distinctive and amazing. This put a smile on my face today. Thank you. As a 60 plus lady I just wanted to add that we love tuning in to reaction shows by younger generations because it brings us back to the days when we were blown away by the awesome music of our time. Imagine waking up one day and hearing some of the amazing classic rock you've heard on this channel for the first time EVER PLAYED ON THE RADIO. That's how it was for us. And all of these genres were playing simultaneously. It was like going to a buffet restaurant and choosing which platinum record you were going to experience for the first time from every single serving offered. Anyway, it's fun to watch you experience these amazing talented musicians for the first time.

[@RubyGB]

Scored 7th row, middle, seats once. 2-hour concert and then he had a few minutes break, came back and performed 20-minute encore. One of the best entertainers ever....

[@brockbandy8488]

I'm 54 and i've never heard a bad Neil Diamond song. This man was the ultimate entertainer.

[@rebeccacurtis6680]

Sweet Caroline is one of the classic interactive songs for concert and also in bars. Some others being Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville," Garth Brooks' "Friends in Low Places," & David Allen Coe's "You Don't Call Me Darling." Neil Diamond doesn't perform these days due to his Parkinson's disease. He actually did a COVID version of Sweet Caroline back during the 2020 lockdowns (hands, washing hands, etc). Video may still be on KZbin. Loved your reaction. One of your best ones, BP. Yes, I'm one of your older (56) white crowd who grew up listening to Neil Diamond. My parents both loved his music & we played 45's on the old record player. "Shiloh," "Red, Red Wine," "Cracklin' Rose," & other songs would have us singing along.😊

[@eurofritz4617]

Family Tradition by Hank Williams Jr is another one, Hank "Why do you drink?' Crowd "TO GET DRUNK!"

[@rebeccacurtis6680]

@eurofritz4617 Definitely 😉

[@chrispavlich9656]

Don’t forget John Denver!

[@deaniej2766]

Infant. 73 and female. and I was in my teen the first time I heard this. Well, teens or young twenties. He is magic.

[@MamaDuffy]

I'm loving your reaction to this! We are proud to "BOMP BOMP BOMP!" when it's called for, and it's ALWAYS called for!

[@dorisfain2193]

I’m a 70 year old white woman and I Love, love, love your show!!!

[@rachelgregory8452]

I’m almost 48 on nov 7th and this was my first concert forced upon me as a lil girl in the 80s by my parents!! And I’m ever so grateful! I’m proud to say that now!!! I’ve loved this man ever since and it gave me an insight to a different world of music to appreciate as I grew up! God bless Neil diamond 💎

[@theodoreritola7641]

My Dad was His number 1 fan in the 70s so many of his greatest songs are from the 70s

[@blakerh]

Good parents!

[@louisegallaway8271]

71 year old woman here who has seen Neil in concert four times and he was amazing!! My all-time crush! One of the most talented and real entertainers out there.

[@aarongillett3079]

47 year old here. Neil is not my generation, but I love him! He was even better in younger years. Such a rich, resonant voice!

[@laranjoeric]

I was at that concert in 2012. Neil has been by favorite singer-songwriter since the mid 70s. Been to over 40 of his concerts. ❤️💎🎶💯

[@allenruss2976]

If you've ever been to a baseball game they've played this. Neil was 71 in this performance. Yeah he was stronger way back when

[@reca5038]

I've heard it sung at football games, too.

[@Lil_A_13]

Just to join in .... Hi I'm 34 and from England... I love watching your reactions!! This song is huge here and it's a football anthem for the England football team!! Its fantastic when a crowd errupts into singing this we all love it regardless of age!! I look forward to your videos every day keep up the fantastic work ❤

[@flamingpieherman9822]

You really need to listen to the original to hear his vocals... I think when you hear that you'll understand the love of the song a little more? At 57 I can tell you this is a Great fun song But it's one of those Feel good songs that everybody likes and you have to have it at every wedding because everyone loves it!

[@BethanyLind]

62 yr old white Grammy here! LOL!!! (I had to do that)...I have been watching you for quite a while and LOVE your reactions and diversity in music genre's. Everything from Guns n' Roses and Meatloaf, to Dolly Parton and Marcin on one guitar!...You my friend are AMAZING! I fell in love with Neil Diamond when I was 18 and saw his movie "The Jazz Singer" in 1980. If you haven't seen the movie I think you would enjoy it. Have a great day and big hugz ~ Beth Ann

[@jeancarroccino8574]

Forever ICONIC❤❤

[@seandupuis7376]

I'm a Metal Head through & through, but Neil Diamond has a permanent spot on my MP3

[@Bill-c8k]

Metal head too Took my parents in the 90s he frigging rocked

[@susanworkman529]

Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand...duet. "You Don't Bring Me Floeers". " Sweet Caroline". Has become this huge song for Neil. Quite possibly the most popular 'sing along ' song there is. Even if you're not a big fan of his music, this one will grab you when you're in a room full of his fans. The energy pulls you in and soon you're signing too.

[@tjtampa214]

Neil Diamond ... loved by the world. 💜 He never lost his audience. And the effect of his voice, style & songs were deeply impactful world-wide. The participation by the audience tells the story.

[@kimlouise-rf5rr]

SWEET CAROLINE is the song that gets everyone up and on their feet no matter where 🎉🎉🎉

[@GinaWooten-h8d]

He WROTE this for Caroline Kennedy ! JFK’s daughter. It has taken a life of its own. Listen to Brother Love’s traveling Salvation show…. And he was in Jazz Singer and duets with Barbara Streisand “You don’t Bring me Flowers”. You will his strong voice ! 😎

[@RaichnotTHATrach]

England football fans have adopted this as an unofficial anthem. It's sung every time a goal is scored. Think it was at the last Euros or possibly World Cup, Neil Diamond sent good luck message to the team after he was shown footage of the fans singing this. It's great to hear little kids and young adults singing one of the all time classics 👏👏

[@stuarthornsby7023]

Neil Diamond (is REAL name) put on a great show back in the day. Unfortunately, he now has Parkinson's Disease and cannot tour or sing any longer. One day check out the soundtrack from "The Jazz Singer." He was in that movie and wrote most of the soundtrack. Thanks for a memory and it was a very good distraction from all going on in the world right now.

[@emmef7970]

Neil Diamond at his best and most beautiful, imho. Neil Diamond - - I Am I Said - - BBC Live Concert 1971

[@tomjohnson2543]

We need more joy in the world. This performance gives me joy.

[@maryrichardson1318]

There are some singers and songs that bring EVERYONE together. Because of people like you, these songs will never die. You, my friend, are one of the few reactors out there who also brings us all together.

[@brendarobbins-smith7848]

Yes, a majority of these fans of you are of the 1960-1970's persuasion and we just love seeing you paying homage to our music! The best music! We love seeing your reaction to something great, that is old and you making it new again. Lifts us up, makes us proud. Thank you!

[@robynfedalen1777]

Great song! ❤️✌🏻🎶

[@MamawT65]

I love seeing younger person enjoying music from my youth! You do a great job love the reaction! And I am a 66 year old white woman! Lol

[@444dkm]

For the record, Black P, I am 57 and mixed too. The reason a lot of us older watch you is we like to see you experiencing music we grew up with. I love newer music too, including yours, but never having had much exposure to extended family as a military brat, the comments sections are my place to connect over music. You are blessed to have kids. Wish I had had them. But I love being an auntie or “cuzzin” to reactors younger than me and talking to other subscribers. You have a great base of fans here. I loved Neil Diamond as a kid. We spent many a road trip playing hockey listening to our parents’ 8 tracks. For another Neil tune you may want to check out Crackling Rosie. Another 1970s sing along is Smokie’s Living Next Door to Alice. Though if your kids sang along to that one you would be appalled. Cheers, buddy.

[@rosemaryjessop4045]

I appreciate that it's odd people would say their colour and age. I was raised to look beyond colour and age. The person is what matters. When he was younger Neil Diamond's was phenomenal. Love your reactions.

[@RogerMcCauley-s1e]

Hell yeah!!!! Such a great karaoke song......😀😀😀

[@michaelkrummel2071]

If you like Neil Diamond and would like to see him live and get the chance to see the tribute singer Jay White, you should see him. I saw him 5 times. The first time I saw him, if someone had told me he was Neil Diamond, I would have believed him. He sings his earlier songs.

[@stephaniewarthen]

O...M...G... you've never lived until you are in a bar and they play this ... the entire bar erupts into the most cacophonous sound .... "SWEEEEEEET CAROLINE ..... BADUM DUM DUM ....."🎉🎉😅😅😅😅

[@brucetromblee3145]

I'm 62 and Neil has been part of my music since I was 9

[@Imathomebored]

My mom absolutely loved Neil Diamond so I grew up with this in the house. He was beyond talented and was one of the best concerts EVER.

[@kt6332]

Neil Diamond kicked ass!

[@rdstafford4348]

Had so much fun on this song!!! I think I danced as much as you did! 😂

[@foxphilesg1fan454]

When you reacted to America you got a taste of Neil in his younger days. He absolutely brought the house down

[@holgerschussler9107]

I'm a 61 year old German...growing up in Minneapolis I seen him twice in concert! Once in the early 80's and once in the early 90s...both were great!

[@MelindaGutierrez-r5t]

I'm 54 and Hispanic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I grew up listening to Neil Diamond cause my mom was a fan of his and Barbara Streisand, I started paying attention to his music in the 80's when the Monkeys has a resurge, he wrote a song for them "I'm a believer" . I did see a sell out concert at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo where he sold out the stadium ... it was the best concert I've ever been too with an eclectic crowd. It was a school night and he held the crowd till the end.... He actually got off the stage and walked the entire rodeo floor, gave well wished to a lady on the cell phone, whose mom was listening, he spotted the lady and took the phone from her ... God Bless those sparkly shirts and shinny shoes.

[@WendyJoJohnston]

Neil's voice, and his storytelling, were masterful in his prime. My mom loved him, and as a young girl, I did too. His songs were some of the first I learned on my guitar. Mom took me to see him in concert, we had great seats, and he came stage left frequently, where we sat, and interacted with us. My first concert and it was, as you young 'uns say, a real banger. That was in Seattle at the Coliseum in 1972 and I was 12. See, I didn't have to tell you my age, you've already done the math! I am also, not so much a white woman as a fairly translucent one. lol, 22 years in Alaska, and I will never have that golden glow again. I enjoy watching your reactions to my beloved music dear, which keeps me returning for more! Peace out!

[@alicecobb7763]

60 here 😂.... awesome reactions young man..... CHEERIO from Down Under 🌺👋🏽

[@susanboles3599]

I love your reaction on this! Neil Diamond was popular in my youth and I still love his music, but your reaction to Sweet Caroline was the best!

[@DeeDeex2]

68 years old, I grew up listening to Neil and I think I bought every record he put out. Love him!

[@LaPinturaBella]

Pegasus, your reaction to this petformance, the pure joy and gusto with which you sang along was spectacular. Thos 62 year old white woman has the biggest grin ever plastered on her face right now. Yhis may be my favorite reaction video of all time because of your exuberance. 😁🥰

[@rickeyjohnson6404]

He had such a fantastic voice back in the 60's and 70's he is such a great singer/song writer

[@victoriakrauss4812]

Hello Black Pegasus. My name is Victoria but my friends call me Vicky. You have such a great program here. I would love to see Carlos Santana playing While my guitar gently weeps with Adie and yo yo mama. Santana playing the guitar just speaks to my soul. Please give it a try. Thanks very much!

[@ccc56ccc]

60 year old here and love me some Neil Diamond. Listen to the song..... "I am...... I said"

[@debh-714]

I’m Deb and I am 61. (You’ll just have to guess if I’m black or white or blue or green!😅) I love your channel and everything you do! I love Neil Diamond. I saw him in concert twice in the 80’s and he is fantastic! And i knew him from my mom dancing and singing Sweet Caroline while she dusted the house! His show was just fun. I dont think I sat once. I also wanted to tell you, i was reading up on The Allman Bros. and was laughing when I read that the band went by 3 or 4 different names before they stuck with the allman brothers. One of the other names they were known by was The Allman Joys!! I immediately thought of you because you said that in your review of “Whipping Post”! Have a good one!!

[@teresaslocomb362]

He was a great singer song writer and showman .s❤aw him in concert in his younger years and again right after the Jazz Singer.

[@58frascatti]

Saw him in 1977. Didn’t really want to go but seats (front center) were free. Blew me away. The Gardems in Toronto were on their feet the whole time. Got all his albums right away! Was surprised (understatement) to find this song and Denver’s Country Roads on EVERY karaoke playlist in Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai and even small (20M-25M) cites in north and NE! A legend.

[@tinadarst5928]

This is such a feel good song. I don't care where you are. Wherever you hear it, you're singing it to the top. Of your lungs, your bop in your head and you're having a good time.

[@lindavickers5707]

BP this is the most I have ever seen you being so engaged in a song! Keep it up!! (66 years old here)

[@marybillinger5246]

72 years old. Had the privilege of seeing Neil in person. Everyone sang along with this one and others. Enjoy your reactions!

[@ceejay1794]

Sing your heart out BP❤

[@chicmedic]

A year or so ago when I found this channel I did not foresee discussions of Neil's stamina, or the possibility I would be singing and dancing along to Sweet Caroline. And yet here we are. That was a nice little boost to my afternoon-thanks!

[@dcricket1]

Grew up on Neil Diamond! He put out hit after hit, one right after the other! Love him!!❤

[@hazcatsophia]

57 and grew up listing to him because my mom listened to him.

[@RobertGoshko]

I saw him in concert, I think Neil was close to 70, he put on a heck of a show, a true showman. Great song, just don’t do the math 😮

[@hollypinkley]

Neil Diamond has/had one of the most powerful voices out there!!! I am 75-year-old white granny who LOVES his body of work!!!! Yes - We all sing that song when it played in the clubs!!!

[@swimlaps1]

He had a great, controlled, deep voice, when all his hits were out, including this song. Bought a couple of hi s45 records at 11. Also, handsome!

[@julietrik4873]

Neil Diamond was a song writer first, a singer second. He wrote songs for lots of other singers and groups. But he was never satisfied so ended up singing his own songs. Yes, this performance is at the end of his performing career and it's not his strongest voice. All of his music is stuck in my psyche. When I was a newborn, my dad would rock me to sleep to his "Hot August Night" album, which was a live performance from 1972, right before I was born.

[@loisdubois1229]

My favorite favorite LOVE song " LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN " Neil Sedaka. MUST LISTEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@beabarber4300]

This performance was fine all right, even though Neil's voice was a ghost of what it was. I am in awe of his timing, honed over many many years. For the full Neil Diamond experience, go for the 1972 concert at the Greek Theatre of Hot August Night. It's been called the greatest performance of all time and that's a plausible description imo. Crunchy Granola Suite is one of the bangingest songs ever - perfect marriage of music and words. Would like to see your reaction to that performance of that song. One of the things I like most about his music is that he gave equal weight to the words as to the music. Both are outstanding.

[@michellezarrabi8258]

I will be 60 soon and I had the privilege of seeing him in concert. Recently he was diagnosed with damage to his vocal chords. Listen to the album version

[@alamc200]

I was 9 years old when this song came out and I remember hearing it on the radio often. btw I'm a 64 year old Mexican-American woman 🤣🤣 born & raised in Oakland CA. His voice was great in his prime.

[@josephlaflamme2913]

Dude, I'm 67 and love your videos. I've been a fan of Neil Diamond since the 1960's. I went to see him at his first (Lol) farewell concert in 1992 I believe. He has done several farewell tours since. Still sounds awesome!!! If you like stories, check out his song, "Brooklyn Roads."

[@debigiroux1811]

I have been to a lot of concerts from Billy Idol, Guns and Roses, Bon Jovi to Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Cher, Alan Jackson, Reba and Garth Brooks etc. Neil Diamond was the most fun I EVER had at a concert. People sang and danced and had so much fun. Great reaction. ❤✌

[@jamesdagenais6494]

By the time Neil did this concert, he had been singing this song well over 30 years. One of those songs that get more popular with age.

[@beckidacier5225]

I'm in my early 50's and grew up on his music. My parents used to go to his concerts for their date nights. I love his voice. And yes it was clearer and more powerful in his younger years.

[@traciemack6168]

This is one of the very best karaoke songs of all time, bom, bom, bom! And I've loved Neil Daimond my whole life. His voice is just smooth velvet.

[@skiahh]

Go see a ball game in Fenway Park. 7th inning stretch and the entire stadium is singing this song at the top of their lungs.

[@ToddPro]

53 here, grew up hearing (and secretly loved his tunes) but yes, his voice is amazing, especially when younger, but still rocks! 😂

[@RupaRishima]

You need to listen to a version from when he was younger and his voice was stronger. This is amazing but when his voice was stronger is was skin tingling. Gave you goosebumps. After I posted this, you bring up this very subject.

[@denalinde]

I remember driving on Sundays with my dad through the beautiful Black Hills in our big old boat of a car with the Neil Diamond 8-tracks at full blast. I always wanted to pay for us to travel together & go see him & I regret not doing it because both of our health situations declined suddenly at the same time & the chance was lost. Still, the memories remain of those priceless times in the car. 💜🎶

[@paulcritchley464]

I’m only 72. And when your animated your brilliant and all the memories that go with music, that dementia brings. Music is the way Cheers have a great day

[@daveking9393]

This was the first concert I went to with my future wife.. I think we were the youngest ones at the show. I met my wife in 1990 she was 19 I was 23... I wasn't sure if he would ever be touring again so I spent big money to get great seats he was "in the round" and we were almost front row and it was around the holiday time he paused the concert about 45 minutes in and spent 45 minutes doing Christmas and Hanukkah songs and then proceeded to finish out the concert for another hour or so it was just fantastic.

[@staceyeugster9260]

Loved your reaction!!! His concerts are ALWAYS like this!!!!! He leaves it all on stage & you come out exhausted & thrilled!!!! When I saw him his show was in the round. It was amazing!! Funny story, when I bought my tickets, they said they were in the upper bowl. Got to the venue & we were on the 4th row floor! I brought some high powered hunting binoculars cause I thought we were going to be higher up. He walked by us, spotted the binoculars on my lap & said "Just how close did you want be?" & then smiled & winked. I almost died!!! It was an AMAZEBALLS show!!!!!

[@clfrancis]

awww this is the sweetest reaction. 🥰

[@BB-yh5rd]

There are two kinds of people in this world, those who love Neil Diamond and those who don't.

[@richardmiller7018]

I'm 71 and on my birthday in 1972 he recorded his album "Hot August Night ". You will find the live version of this song. It was also recorded at the Greek Theater. You might also like his songs Shilo, Play Me, And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind. Morning Side is also a good one.

[@kimberlybrummitt9966]

[@mustangsallie]

Truly a classic, the man and the song.

[@MamaJewels99]

I heard so much Neil growing up because my mom just loved him. So now I know all of his songs by heart. My mom used to take us by the hand and we would dance to him in the kitchen. Very happy memories associated with Mr. Neil Diamond.😊❤

[@Dollywood623]

Growing up I wasn't into Neil Diamond. I was into the youngens like Andy Gibb and John Travolta but I saw the grown ladies going crazy over him! I learned to appreciate him as the decades went on. "September Morn"(1979) and "You Don't Bring Me Flowers"(1977) duet with Barbra Streisand, are my two favorites🔥

[@childlessdoggentleman746]

I was raised on Neil Diamond. My mother lived for music and two favorite singers were Bobby Vee ("Take Good Care of my Baby") and Neil Diamond. Needless to say, I know every Diamond album by heart. "Cracklin Rosie," Red, Red Wine, "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon," "Thank the Lord for the Night Time," "Holly Holy," "Song Sung Blue" "Beautiful Noise," "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" (with Barbra Streisand), and "Heartlight." i apologize if I left out someone's favorite but he has so many classics, I can't list them all. Honary mention should be made of the Monkees' hit "I'm a Believer" which Diamond wrote prior to his own career.

[@sandrasmith7091]

[@TLNITSTR8]

Neil Diamond was the first concert my mom knew I attended--I'd already been to AC/DC. 😉 She took me as a treat and I was blown away by the laser light show.
