    This is not the Woodstock you think it is. This festival is in Poland and recently changed the name to Pol'and'Rock Festival. It's one of the biggest festivals in Europe with a record attendance of 750.000 visitors. The Sabaton show was mindblowing, I've been there. The best songs from this show are Uprising, 40:1, Carolus Rex and Metal Crue

    Bro, you NEED to watch 40:1 from this same concert. It's about a small Polish bataljon holding off a force which outnumbered them 40 to 1 for quite some days in WW2. This concert is Woodstock in Poland, so you can imagine the atmosphere during this song. It's a must see if you like Sabaton live, trust me on this one! Long time fan

    • @Nelicar

      I agree, it is a great song and video. My only issue with the song is probably an unintentional slight on Sabaton's part in that it was 42,200 Nazi troops against a maximum estimate of 720 Polish troops which would mean it was actually at least 58.6:1 if not higher depending upon the estimate, and that's not counting the tanks on the Nazi side. Though, as i said, i'm sure it was an unintentional mistake on Sabaton's part and don't actually hold it against them.

    • @orc290
      @orc290 5 років тому +29

      As a student of Antique History (and having spent a lot of time on classic Greece) Sparta is my favourite of Sabatons songs.
      For one they dispel the myth that they were only 300 Men defending that pass.
      300 Spartiates, yes, but on the final days they still had around 700 Thebans with them, meaning that there were around 1000 men covering the retreats of the other around 6000 soldiers.
      But, more importantly, it really is just a great song.

    I love Sabaton. So happy you are finally touching on better music "just digging" :) I seriously wish you would do more Nightwish. Show them some love brah. they have shorter songs. Romanticide, Ghost river, Storytime, Song of myself from the Wacken 2013 show alone would fit that. But I still think The Greatest Show on Earth live in Tampere. I would also love to see you visit other power metal and symphonic metal bands. So much more there that have barely been touched by the reaction community.

    • @FemaleMetalLover
      @FemaleMetalLover 5 років тому

      Agreed, many more bands in the symphonic metal genre that goes unnoticed :s, as much as I worship Nightwish , they do cast a shadow on other equally deserving bands.
      Dark Sarah - Dance with the Dragon,
      Delain - Masters of Destiny,
      Ancient Bards - Impious Dystopia
      Therion - To Mega Therion,
      And many many more.

    I love Sabaton. My Holocaust class instructor actually loved them and introduced me to them. Great class, great instructor, great band.
    Edit: I love how much energy the vocalist has. He's amazing.
    But if you want another song, my favorite by them is Panzerkampf. It's about the nazis invading Russia and the battle of Kursk. (Largest ww2 tank battle. Or the world I think).

    Sabaton puts on the best damn concerts. Went to see them twice already in L.A. and they ALWAYS treat their fans right. Doesn't matter if they're playing for over half a million like at Woodstock or if they're playing for a couple hundred at the Wiltern. They always give 200%! When my wife and I went to see them back in '17 and again in '18 they NEVER failed to entertain. They also don't give a damn about ethnicity, creed, religion, etc. "Heavy Metal is for everyone." - Joakim Brodén (Sabaton lead singer) \m/

And Im glad you've discovered Sabaton, they've been one of my utmost favourite bands since about 2008 when I first saw them live, in a tiny little rockbar where they could barely fit the entire band on the stage! Seen them 7 more times since then and hoping to keep counting!

      I figured I should also say that the first time I ever saw Sabaton in concert was in Charleston SC. They were an opening band for Trivium. After they played and Trivium was getting ready to play afterwards, my gf and I left to go back to our hotel room. I had the worst headache from singing along with Sabaton during their show. It was amazing. When we got back to our hotel, I pushed the button for the elevator and I heard somebody say "Hey, I love your shirt". Turned around and it was Chris and Hannes from the band, they bombarded us and we got to hang out for about 20 mins, took some pics with them, and they even got the rest of the band to autograph our cds. For the first time seeing these guys in concert, and meeting them afterwards, it was AMAZING!!
