Veterans tearing up, yep. This song gets me quite often. Not often reacted to but their song Purple Heart slays this old vet as well. Edit: Price of a Mile very hard one too if you know the history behind it.

The performance is from Scandinavium, an indoor arena in the city of Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. The concert moved from a smaller arena since the tickets were sold out and 10,766 people were present according to a news site.

Yes, this is my all-time favorite concert from Sabaton. It's about the 30-year war in the 1600s which Sweden was a big part of. I think "Angels are calling" is a great pick but I think "Christmas Truce" is probably the best music video Sabaton has ever done so I would go with that one next. Thanks for your heartfelt reaction to this song. It always gets me when the audience sings the whole first verse.

Nice reaction, I was at this show (sitting somewhere in the middle of the platform to the left from this view of the stage) needless to say, it was one hell of a show that night. Just before this clip started Joacim said no one carries around a lighter anymore but you all have phone so turn on your lights for this one. I mentioned it in another comment here but we were 10 766 metalheads in the arena that night.

40:1 and Uprising live at Woodstock Poland 2012 is amazing. 500k polish people interacting with a band playing music about their struggles in WW2. Its an amazing watch.

its from the carolus rex album that is released in two versions one in swedish the other in english the swedish versions are more the soldiers perspective and as a native swede it hits more to home

It is a fun idea to do what some other reactors are doing and do a double feature a Sabaton song + a matching video from the Sabaton History channel (in the same or separate reaction videos). On that channel they have real historians giving short explanations, plus some more context to the history the song tells about and the song itself. In case of the song you just reacted to this is the 30 years war and the Swedish involvement in it. But with all respect to the song and the band I doubt you learned from the lyrics much about the events that inspired this song. This clearly means something to the Swedish people since a 14k crowd sings the whole first verse in unison. That is not normal. It is cool to find out why. History as is being taught in schools is a bit boring and usually centered on the country we are from and there is so much cool stuff that is hidden from us... TO understand a bot more abut Sabaton, what are they trying to do and why they are so popular in some countries try their song Uprising (live version from the Woodstock Poland festival) + the matching Sabaton History channel video or the song Inmate 4859 + the matching Sabaton History channel video. It will be an experience. I promise.

From what I've heard, there were about 12-14 thousand in the audience. For "Angels Calling", make sure to pick a version featuring Apocalyptica Some other tracks to keep in mind, "Resist and Bite", "The Attack of the Dead Men", and "Gott mit uns"

[@Templarofsteel88]

We were ”only” around 10 766 in the arena that night, but you are not the first one who guessed more.

[@Nem01]

Carolus Rex with apocalyptica was also great.

[@PetterVessel]

There's so many good Sabaton songs to choose from. Night Witches (Animated STORY version) , The Price of a Mile, The Great War, 82nd all the way, and Carolus Rex. I have just scratched the surface.

[@Nem01]

Please concider bringing more Sabaton to your channel.😢
