I'm Polish-American, and I guarantee every Pole sings "And the Allies turned Away" from Uprising with complete contempt. I know in my little black heart that I do. i think my Grandpa would've been proud of me. Hope you have a great Christmas!
This song made them very famous in poland, at once concert a few years before this one they were visited by the Arch-Bishop of the area where the battle took place, and he gifted Joakim a sword from the treasury as a sign of gratitude for shining a light on polish history.
Iirc it was specifically because of Sabaton that Polish history classes began teaching if the Battle of Wizna and other acts of Polish defiance. These events had been covered up by the Soviets when Poland was a puppet state after the war.
The guy you isolated with Joakim was the promoter of the show, he does an impromptu speech to the crowd then they break out into the Polish anthem - it is a magical moment. Fun reaction Viking as always.
I'm a swede feeling national pride for Poland! Sabaton is amazing! Keep remembering the stories they tell us, because they're really important! I'd heavily recommend reacting to Hearts of Iron. Not only is the name from the game HoI4, but the lyrics and story are amazing! It's also a different look at what - among others - the German 12:th Army did during the final days of WW2.
Woodstock in Poland is the largest rock concert, possibly not only a rock concert in the world, which is 3 days long. And usually there are from 500,000 people to 750,000
@@adamwrobel5589 Acctually, Rob Stewart performed for a crowd of almost 3.5 million back in 1994. And in Europe it was actually Monsters of Rock in 1991 in Moscow, which drew a crowd of 1.6 million. So sorry, but Prodigy is not even in the top 10.
You are absolutely right about them having a blast while performing. My kid calls Joakim's smile "the babysmile" (so pure so innocent so real) And every time I leave their conserts I have the biggest smile, exhausted but smiling.
I am Polish and Proud from my history they have respect beacouse they touch story forbidden always hidden but not for Polish thats why we love them and the music is the best
How can you not love Sabaton. I was able to see'em live in Gothenburg februari 2020 before Covid destroyed everything. I was there in the crowed singing "En livstid i krig". I can really recommend watching Sabaton live :D
I'm new to your videos, so I don't know how much you are into the history, But I wanted to add to the context of song's impact: In Poland, 80-85% of society didn't even knew that there was something like Battle of Wizna. Hell, it wasn't even mentioned in history textbooks, and Polish Wikipedia had only a very few lines covering it. After Sabaton made 40:1, and CrusadeNR (hope I remember correctly the nickname of guy) made the fan-video, the song broke through, and now: 1) The article on Polish Wikipedia is somewhat longer than the one about Battle of Bzura (average Pole will go to Wikipedia and that's all). 2) Wizna is mentioned in every history texbooks (and yes, there are notes about Sabaton in them!) 3) The remains of cpt. Raginis were indentified and were buried on Góra Strękowa in remains of the bunker in 2011 (3 years after the song's creation). Sabaton songs about Poland really unite us, Poles - when "40:1" came out, Poland just faced early parliamentary election (and there was kind of turmoil). When "Uprising" came out, it came only a month after Smolensk plane crash. And so on. Big probs to Kuracyja for providing this info on the Sabaton History video. I just had i checked, and it's absolute true from what I can find. And that just makes it so much more cool in my world Also. Sabaton's videos have insane production value. These guys don't do anything halfassed .. So if you gonna react to a song twice, do the original, and a live please :P
In my top 5 of Sabaton songs, you picked the best live performance I feel because as good as this song is, to perform it to a Polish crowd, it just hits much harder! The flag definitely blocked the view of half the crowd but you can see the pride of the ones underneath it They are loving it, as they should! Such an awesome show of respect to the people, pyro and all kinds of stage effects are cool but such a simple thing adds so much to this performance, and I agree with other comments, if you get time, watch the whole Woodstock set, the information/banter between songs, including the inflated condom make this an awesome show all around Another great reaction, looking forward to the next 😀 Skål as always
8:03 "i need to go!" Yes! You absolutely have to see Sabaton live when the world goes back to normal. I remember seeing Sabaton live in Gothenburg in 2017 together with my father and it was an amazing experience
I can't agree more. This show is one of my all time favourites as far as live shows go. And Uprising from this show is just magical. Be ready for even more Polish pride! I'm Swedish and both 40:1 and Uprising makes me want to start singing the Polish anthem. :P
Odin smiled at those Polish soldiers, holding out against unbelievable odds to the man. You know full well each of them had a seat waiting in Valhalla for them.
Favourite, you said...?😉 It usually lasts until the next Sabaton song!😄 At least, that's how it works for me! I can't just pick one Sabaton song as a favourite song. It's impossible! 😁 But I agree with you that this song is amazing. And this live performance is like nothing else! 💪🤘 Great reaction, btw!
They were an opening act. They recorded 40:1 and a fan made a music video they didnt know about. They came back to hero status in Poland. They had to rework the fan video to handle some copyright issues. But much of it is like what the fan made.
This reaction was amazing! Really love how I reacted the exact same way when I saw this for the first time. And you need to listen to "Lejonet från Norden" from their live tour. Don't forget to put on English subtitles tho! :p
I didn't find an answer to your question at 6.22. Joakim was thanking main organizer of the festival - Jerzy Owsiak. Band didn't know about the flag before it showed up under the stage and it was a suprise because they made a live DVD during this concert. Ant there is a making of video how they prepared to roll it during the show and then crowd singing an anthem after that song.
As Polish guy I don't mind. Play this song as many times as you. want :) Here is something about Pol'and' Rock Festiwal (former Woodstok Festiwal Poland) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pol%27and%27Rock_Festival Thump up. Be safe and see you soon.
Probably will sound like a know-it-all, but, the plan was for Poland to hold for two weeks. France would attack Germany's lightly defended west, followed by Britain. They both wussed out. Poland held for Four Weeks (reference the book The Eagle Unbowed) even after the Soviets invaded on Sept. 17th. They stayed at Wizna per the plan.
One song from them I am requesting you to react to sometime in the future is White Death. Just an awesome story of an amazing sniper in the war history of Finland. I have heard stories of him from my father the first time since he's father was in the Winter war and the continuation war against the red army. This bands music makes the war history come alive and in the best kind of ways showing the heroism and pride of the fatherland all in the same time.
40 to 1 thats my kinda ods ;) they playing on umeå rock every year and are a nice bunch to mingle whit after wards^^ a cuople of years ago 2 of my friends ho are whelchair bound was and seen them and was craud in the front row they was liften up and set on the speakers on the ceen and was sitting there the rest of the consert so they are not only a godband they looking after there fans to :)
And wait till you see the comraderie within the band and all the pranks they do to eachothers in these live's. On top of being awesome music, absolutely brilliant live band but they also have great comedy going on. They are really just some lads just having the best time of their lives.
Hey my guy I'm liking so many of your reactions to sabaton and I must say if you could check out sabaton's album call "the great war" you wont regret it and all of their songs at Woodstock are amazing I must say (even tho im an American dummy lol) keep up the wonderful reactions and I'll keep dropping likes
Believe a polish sabre was given as a token of respect to the lead of Sabaton by a church bishop during one of the concerts, (this is what was in question in this video ) - this was also unexpected for Sabaton group during the concert :) not sure if this is this concert but surely a point to note as you hardly ever see any kind such appreciations from church principalities to a rock band
I got something else for you: Van Canto. Acapella Hero Metal Band from Germany. Yes, im serious, acapella Metal. Its a thing, and it works. 3 Songs i suggest to you in random order: If i die in Battle (Awesome musicvideo. Why? Cause im in it :P) The Bardscall (From their Album Voices of Fire, in my humble opinion, one of their best) Wishamster ( A Nightwishcover, you maybe guessed it. Its a meme, its epic, and god damn hilarious but awesome at the same time) Keep up the good work!
They played a full set there, and the last song of it was probably one of the most demanding, and they just pulled it off like nothing. You just see his guitarists be a little...drenched around the halfway mark.
1:46 It is. If you watch that whole concert he catches one and talks about "your sex ed might be lacking", and "these are not balloons, these are FOR FUCKING!!!"
I faintly recall them getting a sword or something from the Polish prime minister? I am curious if that was who was giving him the sword? I could be wrong and getting the Sabaton history vids mixed up.
@@VikingReacts ok awesome I knew it was someone that had caused a huge stir with the crowd but couldn’t place the tank! Also always love when you do these Sabaton reacts keep it up!
I'm not Polish but I always feel so patriotic for Poland whenever I hear this song, and Uprising live 🤘

6:18 This is Jerzy Owsiak, Creator of polish Woodstock festival. The flag was a surprise, Joakim didn't know that it gonna show up for the song 😉
I don’t have a drop of Polish blood, but dang do I love them. Their guts, resilience, patriotism, and willingness to fight is inspiring.
Fun Fact: Sabaton is the only band that received an officer sword from the Archbishop of Poland.
This song made them very famous in poland, at once concert a few years before this one they were visited by the Arch-Bishop of the area where the battle took place, and he gifted Joakim a sword from the treasury as a sign of gratitude for shining a light on polish history.

well he screamed to them "JESZCZE POLSKA NIE" and that was enough for thousands
You should watch the all live, the story of the condom before the song was hilarious and after 40:1 the crowd started singing the polish anthem
Eventually I will :)

I saw Sabaton in a small club, 700 capacity, and it was awesome. To make it even better, the opening act was Revamp with Floor Jansen :)
This was thord the end of the concert. There was close to 750 000 people there, polish people.
Sabaton, just have to listen again and again and again!
With Sabaton, if you want to listen to a song twice in a row.. Go for it! :D There is no such thing as too much Sabaton.
This entire show was so epic, amazing 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Best reaction ever.
Bless Your Viking soul
Already great.
Another great one man. Love your reactions. I'd say uprising is my favorite from this show. But in all honesty this entire show is fucking epic!
