METALLICA Covers “Sweet Caroline” By NEIL DIAMOND Live In Concert; Fan-Filmed Video
On Sunday, August 4th, Metallica headlined Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Midway through Metallica’s set, bassist Robert Trujillo and guitarist Kirk Kammett performed one of their famous “doodles.” The pair chooses a song that has a connection to the city in which they are playing. For over 20 years, Neil Diamond’s Top Five 1969 hit “Sweet Caroline” has been a fixture at Boston’s Fenway Park, with fans singing along to the song in the middle of the eighth inning of every Red Sox game,” reports Matthew Wilkening of Loudwire.
Prior to their “Sweet Caroline” jam, Trujillo addressed the audience, saying, “This song is really scary, super heavy and if you start moshing try not to injure yourself, because it is such a scary song. I’m already shaking.” Amateur video can be seen below.
