This is my first live and in person exposure to “Sweet Caroline”, and it’s spectacular. I have no idea how a sappy song about sweet love and tender affection got transmogrified into an arrogant musical assault on a defeated foe, but it sure is effective. I would hate to be on the receiving end.
Those of you who are used to it may not fully appreciate the structure, the instrumental lead-in to alert the crowd, the initial monosyllabic grunts to get them started, the choreographed hand moves, and finally the full throated singing. It’s a piece of work.
