[@Yarnhub]

Great to see the guys back in concert. Wish we were there !

[@jonashansson2320]

Ohh.. I so love what you have done with Sabaton so far, and I guess you are sort of tired of hearing this... But pretty pretty please, Attack of the dead men. It would become such an awesome story video. The song is great and the story is fantastic and in animated form those two together would just be amazing. :)

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

Just saw the announcement that you guys are working on a new project with them. Can't wait to see!!!

[@Yarnhub]

@@VloggingThroughHistory thanks, yes I'm, bursting to tell more, but we can't :)

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

Wish you could too, but I understand!

[@jonashansson2320]

@@VloggingThroughHistory Why don't we just say: "Challenge accepted!" :) They did their own video of the Stiegler/Brown story about the same time they did No bullets fly. They recently did a story about Simo Häyhä so it could be White death. But in their video they emphasize that it's an epic undertaking, dedicating everything they have to it for some time so perhaps it's not "just" one animated story video. And Sabaton mentions their upcoming album. So... Could it be the entire album The war to end all wars? :O

[@Pih_TV]

As someone who lives in Europe and seen a few Sabaton shows it's weird to see such a mellow crowd. I really hope they get the attention they deserve in the US.

[@countrytownify]

The crowd is generally much more active when they are the headline.

[@TeganRhodes]

I saw them a few years ago headlining in Cleveland, Ohio. crowd was amazing. beach balls flying, guys decked out like metal royalty in the box seats, very energetic pit. some guy brought a bag full of flags for each military they've done a song about.

[@nijiru4448]

Every time I've seen them in Canada it's been at a smaller venue that's packed shoulder to shoulder and we make the building shake.

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

Much of the issue was probably due to people likely having assigned seating that they weren't allowed to move from (besides bathroom and similar things) due to Covid.

[@Yokosumari23]

We did at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival. It was such a strong turn-out with so much fan energy even Jocke was like "wow I wasn't expecting this. You guys rock."

Same here.

[@TestosteroneJones]

I was there too! My first sabaton concert too! Hell of a show!

[@georgehillyer7959]

I drove 3 hours with my wife and younger son (17) and had an awesome time. The crowd was really into the music and it was all we hoped for and more. My Polish wife was a bit bummed they did not play “Winged Hussars” but it was worth the drive. I’d highly recommend them.

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

I think they only do that song in Poland. They don't even typically do it in European shows. Would have loved to have heard it though!

[@darthcalanil5333]

that little kid on a history heavy metal stage is exactly why Sabaton are awesome!

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

Nicely put. I have nothing to add.

[@Ozai75]

I'm really happy you had a chance to go see them, Chris. Couldn't happen to a better guy. Glad you and Mrs. VTH really had a great time!

[@McCullogh]

They are always extremely entertaining live, seen them a couple of times here in Sweden and their energy is always amazing regardless if they play inf front of 80 people or 8000. So glad both you and your wife had a great time and hope to see you both over here in Europe sooner rather than later to check out historic sites and experience a pyrofilled Sabaton concert outdoors.

[@pascalhohmann7329]

You really need to see a sabaton show on Europe. The Pyro and the powerfull crowd make a huge difference

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

Sabaton are so brilliant, seen them when the visited Ireland in Belfast and they played in front of about 300 packed into a Irish pub, it was madness. They were so damn good.

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

That would have been a lot of fun to see.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

They just stopped by for a pint and ended up playing there or something? Or was that a planned show there? Either way I would have loved to experience that.

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

@@VloggingThroughHistory It was a lot of fun brother.

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

@@ranekeisenkralle8265 I don't believe so but that would be a good story if true lol it was back in like 2005, nobody knew them here apart from me and my friend because they sung songs about world war two. People came dressed up as soldiers and I my young mind just loved it.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

@@IrishTechnicalThinker I can understand why.

[@JustJenReacts]

Hey Chris!!! That was such an epic first Sabaton show! That was a first for me too! I saw them in Cincinnati a few weeks back, and I thought of you and Tara! Omg there’s me! Thanks Chris!!!! Aww 🥰 man! I thank you so much for the shoutout and the best concert buddies ever! Cheers 🥂 mate! Hope we get to do it again one day soon!

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

Hey Jen! Great hearing from you. Hope all is going well. Next time they’re in town yes let’s do it again!

[@Lucky-yr2ju]

I've seen them live at 2012 Woodstock concert in Kostrzyn, Poland. 500k people were there. You should check out "40:1" from that concert. It was amazing. I already booked tickets for next year's concert in Glasgow. It's gonna be epic.

[@naketo]

I hope they won't cancel their concert in Bulgaria again because of covid :/ #Metal4life

[@christianyoung6686]

I hope those tickets aren’t sold out yet, wish I’d checked sooner

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

My my.. that lad who got Joakim's glasses must feel like the luckiest kid on the planet right about now.

[@RandallClark]

I've seen Sabaton on every single US tour they've ever done, except for this one. Sadly couldn't make it work due to show location in proximity to where I live. They do headline over here in the states frequently, my guess is they will be back in the US within the next couple years headlining. My opinion is that its more fun to see them in smaller venues here, the massive festival shows in Europe are both exhausting and hard to get close to the band due to the large crowds. In the states, it's not a huge deal to be front row for them.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

I concur that small venues are more ...personal, but there is something to be said about the big festivals as well. The whole atmosphere of the experience is fundamentally different. Plus they get to do some fun stuff like at Wacken 2019 where they not only had a bunch of people on stage along with them, but also utilized not one, but all two festival stages simultaneously by bringing back some old band members as well.. It really is worth a watch if you haven't seen it. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIHFkn-ol7ppftE

[@LeToplache007]

As someone who has seen them on a headline tour with all the possible pyrotechnics and flamethrowers they have, I'd love to go to a small venue gig one time in the US or somewhere else to experience the sheer personality and crowd interractions on a small show like this one, because when they have a thousand explosions and flamethrowers they don't really have much time to interract with the crowd, rather they just go on with the show with a few interractions. However, I think I would still prefer those explosive headline shows over personal ones, because after experiencing a show here in Europe, a lot of pyros and flames are missing from these song versions. I'm seeing them next year in Europe again and am having standing places rather than seats so it will probably be exhausting but definitely worth it. I can sacrifice my body for a day of awesomeness.

[@insertaliashere1379]

Fun fact: the first moment in recorded history that Joakim willingly sang Swedish Pagans.

[@bravo666]

In Denver he sang it twice

[@ShadowhispersBand]

First I thought: Damn, what a lame crowd... Then I noticed it was all seated. Well, better than no concert at all. Hope you enjoyed the show!

[@anderslofgren8235]

It's funny though, that venue looked fairly small and when Sabaton plays in Europe they headline Wacken with 80k in the audience. Their US concerts seem to be either as an opening act or in smaller venues. I hope they'll get recognition in the US too. if they do, it's thanks to people like you, Jen, Tank the roadie and a few others who reallly delve deeply into Sabaton's treasure chest of songs.

[@simmsdn]

It was a great show! Thoroughly impressed and as a tanker, Steel Commanders was a pleasant surprise.

[@xJamesLaughx]

Cool you got to meet Just Jen. yours and hers are two of my favorite channels I watch. And that kid at the end, wow....he got a moment he will remember for the rest of his life. Sabaton is just such an amazing band and group of guys.

[@miafranlund6982]

I have watched you from the beginning when you start discovering Sabaton, so happy that you finally got to se them live. These guys always put up an energetic show, no matter how big a crowd is at the venue. I will se them again in January when they play only 40 km from my hometown, also thinking of going to Krakow, Poland in April.

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

I would love to see them in Poland! They have some fantastic songs about Poland like 40:1, Uprising, and the Winged Hussars.

[@rodrigoriquelme6724]

I just saw them two days ago! I never listened to them before and they were amazing! So much energy and beautiful songwriting. I was very impressed.

[@ranekeisenkralle8265]

If you are already impressed by their performance in such small venues, I recommend checking them out at one of the big festivals over in Europe as well - that's an entirely different beast altogether.

[@nicholasharshbarger4454]

The fact that they make awesome music that also teaches us history is just the greatest thing ever. I love Sabaton!!

[@MacOriginalGamer]

The last Sabaton show we were at, back in 2019, was the first one where they had Audie (Hannes' drum rig) here in the USA. They have another one named Walter that they use for European tours. Good to see that they're bringing Audie back for their upcoming show here in L.A.! 🍺😎 Seriously, they NEVER FAIL to impress, even as an opening act!

[@conqmain8752]

This just makes me want to go to a concert more.

[@herlaqueen]

As you say, one of the great things about them is that it's clear they're having FUN while playing. I was looking at pictures from the last concert of them I went to, and they're similing in almost all of them. It also shows in their willingness to interact with the crowd and trust their fans wheile doing so.

[@johanlundmark8835]

Could you check out some Swedish history inspired songs? like for example: Carolus rex, killing ground, Poltava, en livstid i krig (the live version with subtitles) and so on! And then react to the Sabaton history videos about them!

The thing about the shows in the EU and in Sweden is that the crowd usually forces them to play swedish pagans and the crowd has to do the chant inbetween the songs for atleast 10 songs or so. Its pretty amazing
