To me Gojira creates archetypes. Hear me out... They sound like a villain who torn between good and evil. Oh we got lots of nice singing and soulful heartache -but we also got Vader at the end of Rogue One. Gojira are perfect.
@NM-xi8or I was not discussing music taste or anything, you can think that they are overated that's fine to me. But regarding "effortless" accuracy live like you said, they are on another level than Gojira and Pantera. There is no need to debate it, that's a fact. If you're a musician you can't deny it
If you are in awe after watching this, consider that every single person under that stage experienced the show for absolutely free. Pol'and'Rock festival, which takes place every year in August, is the biggest non-commercial (no entry tickets or fees) event of that kind in Europe
Indeed. The Festival itself is organized as a 'thank you' to the volunteers for the - pardon my bad translation - Great Orchestra for the Holiday Help, which is a non-profit organization with a goal of collecting money for the hospital equipment, mostly for sick children.

They had a circle pit going BEFORE they even walked onstage! The people at this show will remember it for the rest of their lives, as anyone whose seen gojira live will.
I've been there. Can confirm, absolutely magical moment. Best concert I ever attended, listening to this brings back memories how it felt. Nostalgia hits hard.

@@jamiesloan5902 they struggled their way through the flying whales breakdown at 27:00, I notice that all of them stopped wearing their in ear monitors after this song except Mario so something probably happened to them right before this part of the song and it threw them off a lot while they figured out what was going on and switched modes mentally, from playing with the click to not, but they still did a great job and finished out the whole rest of the set amazingly, with that setback only being a minor hiccup. not trying to dis them, they're my favorite band. the fact that they played the remembrance outro all by feel on stage with no click track between them flawlessly is extremely impressive
It is not that much about the nationality as about the fest itself. It's Polish Woodstock festival. However, they had to change the name of the fest last year. It is the biggest open air free festival, no tickets, hence so many people. And it actually doesn't matter if it is metal or reggae concert. There is no other place like that in the whole country, it is an enclave of real freedom. This is our sacred place and we celebrate each concert there that way. We warmly invite you to come and be happy with this extraordinary community we have there. The fest takes place on the Polish-German border on the first weekend of August. If Gojira wins the Golden Spinning award in the voting of Woodstock fans, they should come again to receive the award. This is how it usually works with Woodstock. However, big foreign bands rarely come for the award.
Saw them open up in Kansas City in 07 with Machine Head, Trivium, and Lamb of God. My brother and I got there early and hit the bar at the back of the club. They came out to Flying Whales, so that slow intro started right after the lights went off. They all come out lookin' like Metallica from the 80's, all in black and wristbands. We started walking up to the stage and that shit hit... it was like we were walking in to a wall. There's no describing it. I was instantly hooked. There were a lot of memorable moments from that show, but to this day, my brother and I still talk about the first time Gojira hit us in the face with sound. No lookin' back since.
I'm 51 years old. I've seen a lot of what there has been over the decades. Great shit but this is the most powerful electric sound i've ever heard. I am absolutely blown away by these guys. Animals as leaders is amazing like that too. Love this new generation of metal.
They're not that far from you age wise. All of them except Mario is over 40, and Jean-Michel turns 45 this year. I'm 49 btw. It's funny how the musical brickwall between the generations has crumbled. When I was young, no one that I knew of my parents age listened to the heavier music of the day. Metal was the music of the young. Today, people of all generations listen to the same music.
Same here...50 yrs old and totally hooked on Gojira. I could listen to their music for hours....Animals as leaders I can't get past 2 minutes, sorry. Personal taste I guess.
@@lingonberriesofwrath1836 I am 40, but actually I notice it the other way round. Only us old people listen to hard stuff. There are less and less younger people interested in heavy stuff.
Ha ha! Me, too. I'm turning 50 this summer; I just discovered metal this past year when my buddy dragged me, unwillingly, to a metal festival. I am absolutely hooked. Gojira is fiercely talented and I would love to see them headline - even if it's in a club setting.... Cheers to you, my friend!
Llegué aquí porque pienso y creo que es una banda no merecedora aun de ser cabeza de cartel del Wacken 2025 eso es para Amon Amarth o powerwolf pero está bien tocan bien pero todavía no los considera una gran banda
@@joseguadaluperamirez4400por mucho que me guste powerwolf, definitivamente no le llega ni a los talones a Gojira. Incluso si subjetivamente los consideras peores, objetivamente están ahí con meshuggah en calidad (mastodon ya no hace Sludge así que no los cuento)
@@joseguadaluperamirez4400 i think they will drop their next album just before this event thats why and with the olympics exposure there is a possibility that they will be considered headliner they might just as well win a grammy later that year.
@@D0ffy i saw both of them but meshuggah were barely close to gojira in terms of performance. Not saying they were bad, just not as good as the French gods 😅
@@Trippo0793 Have to disagree, I've seen them 4 times and it has always been mind-blowingly tight. One of those gigs is still in my top 3 gigs of all time, absolutely mental and their light shows are always a spectacle. To each his own though, Meshuggah and Gojira are both some of my absolute favourite bands.
Nobody gives a fuck. For real. Let people take an 8 second clip of their favorite band to commemorate a mind-blowing show. Not that they could with the crowd being so wild, but still. Who cares?
You beat me to it! Yes I was just going to comment about all the " behind the scenes" people that worked their asses off to get the lights and sound just right to make this show even better. Thumbs up!!
@@Tetrastructural It was some very hot and sunny days in row, no clouds or rain, so with so many people walking around for few days the whole area turned into a dust desert. There were firefighters who sprayed people with water, people sharing water with eachother, cheep bear, some good guys giving shade to tired people. Great experience! Very tiring but great and unforgetable.
I lost my shoes in some moshpit, jumped barefoot from this point through the whole thing. Had a bit swollen feet the day after, but jesus it was worth it. And yes, I was a bit drunk to begin with. Want to see them live again... this was so fuckin brutally awesome
It's kind of surprising Gojira chose that almost unknown swiss guy out of the blue to mix some of their live recordings when they probably can have any high profile mixers in this business to work on their stuff. Anyways, the result sounds as good if not better than the best live videos I've seen. Kudos to Raphaël Bovey, the guy totally nailed this mix.
I remember the first time I saw a live perfomance of Flying Whales Joe was the most sinister sounding thing ever and the bassist probably gave himself whiplash but god damn did he lose his fucking mind. These guys are definitely one of the best and most respectable bands I have ever heard.
I prefer this version to the album version too, adds even more emotion to a part that was already overflowing with it. The lighting makes it even more epic too
The bassist is badass af , hope he doesn't get brain damage tho , you guys have no idea how lucky you are , it's musicians like that bassist who literally gives it his all blood sweat and tears to perform is what made me fall in love with metal , Thank you monsieur Jean-Michel Labadie , 44 years of age what a savage , beautiful musicians and a beautiful concert , i am mind blown , beautiful crowd and the sound engineers who worked on this are out of this world , just a big thank you for everyone who contributed to this masterpiece , this one is for the pages of history
Well I was there, barelly anyone has phone battery charged actually because it's 1 week festival in the middle of nowhere. You go there with a tent, food, alcohol, drugs perhaps with 500 thousand of other people and you enjoy life outside of civilization for couple of days. So even if you had your phone there you don't really use it at all. Going there is really life changing experience.
I've been watching several Poland rock festival videos with different bands and they always have amazing energy and Tobias Forge said in an interview that Poland has one of the best crowds you could ever ask for i honestly wish America had just a fraction of that energy every concert I go to here its mostly people on their phones and maybe 1 or 2 mosh pits its a damn shame
Pol and Rock festiwal (formerly named "woodstock" is a 3 days FREE festival, originaly created 26 years ago for the volunteers of a charitativ orgarisation raising money for hospital supplies for sick kids... I am going there every year, atmosphere is amazing... my 3 days reset from thid shitty world..... + 1 thing they do not show on these replay: it's a tradition to sing "happy birthday" so "sto lat" - 100 years in Polish to the band after each concert...
Congratulations Poland, this is the best Crowd in a show I've seen in a long time. Congratulations Gojira, you guys are definitely THE HEAVIEST BAND OF THE UNIVERSE AND THE BEST METAL BAND ALIVE. All the show sounds so killer, massive and perfect, extremaly faithful to the records.
@@Shompenify1 too bad you're able to see only the one near the stage, I can assure you, there were two or three other walls in the crowd that didn't fail 🤣
I agree, dude. People were saying the constant touring lately seems to have taken a bit of a toll on his voice. Maybe true and he toned it down in some parts and didn’t scream, but it’s almost like it became better! This version of L’enfant Sauvage with less screaming almost has like a different dimension to it and it’s so fucking good. How can a singer be toning it down and still be incredible, if not better?!
I was there and I will never fucking forget how astonishing they were. Wow, just wow... There are no words to say it. I relive that moment at least twice a month. What a jam! I've been to a lot of tight packed gigs on that festival but that... that was something else. Like hive mind. My gf was first time on a big time concert of such type and she just fell right for it. Holy crap still getting goosebumps
They are polish fans from Polandrock (ex Woodstock) ❤️ In our country (Poland) we have this amazing festiwal for 25 years. Its totaly free and this main theme is peace love tolerance and music. We invite you sooo much. ✌️ I know, my English is not on the great level. :p
@@sebastiancyburt6132 well not at all actually, but clearly not every recording of that sound is the same either, it takes lots of hard work and expensive equipment.
@@TIAMATPW ok no problem. on youtube there are a lot of concerts from polandrock (and formerly from woodstock) where the concerts always sound perfect. Have a good day !!
Love how the first thing they do at the end of their set (@1:16:17) is go and say hi to the fans at the front and thank the security guard. Class acts all around.
Seems like they do that at every show, they played in India once when they were a bit popular and the guitarist came to the crowd in front and shook hands with people. I was there too.
That crowd.............. OMFG THAT CROWD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S THE CROWD GOJIRA DESERVES !!!! I wish I could buy a beer for each and one of you !!! You guys know how to energize and have an amazing time !!! I love you Poland !!!
I was in the crowd that day. Didn't know Gojira before and it was pretty spontaneous. After like 10 minutes I realized that they were actually pretty good and the show just keeped getting better. Together with the overall atmosphere and the crowd I would say that this was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. The entire festival has an atmosphere that you don't see that much nowadays. Barely any phones at all and everybody is just living the moment. Definitely worth the 450 km car drive.
@@truedarklander, OP metions a >big moshpit on the pre-concert intro , so Im calling it out. Also there's no 'big moshpits' on woodstock (at least in poland), 'cause it's fucking woodstock, a non-metal commercial fest
They must have spent a lot of money on this sound production from recording to mixing And all for a You tube free upload That's taking it seriously I have a lot of friends who after hearing bad live mixes conclude a certain band is crap which is ridiculous but I guess that's how 80% of human minds work. Its so much about production People don't even understand
The concert itself was free as well mate, they came to Poland from France to perform for this audience and it was just amazing, the band sounded live as good as on this video, most of the mixing done here is reducing the sound of the crowd cheers.
mmm, man, if a band cant do it live, its obviously they needed overproduction in the studio, this is not the case, gojira plays the same as they did on studio, but you can measure the quality of band by hearing them on live perfomances
Best European metal band for a decade! Metal is soooo alive! Godzilla/Gojira doesnt matter because you are giants! Shout out to the Polish metal fans. You are the best metal crowd in the world. Kurwaaaaaaaaaa
Sponsors pay for organization. The festival is a 'thank you' from The Grand Orchestra of the Christmas Charity. Huge foundation that helps kids. Big story and a lot to write. Better read it somewhere 🤘🏻
@@KamilStaniszewski STOP LYING! OWSIAK, MAIN ORGANIZER OF THE FESTIVAL, PAYS MONEY COLLECTED AT THE GREAT ORCHESTRA OF CHRISTMAS CHARITY (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Orchestra_of_Christmas_Charity ), WHICH SHOULD BE ENTIRELY INTENDED TO BUY MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FOR CHILDREN!
Im so glad i got to see these guys in Glasgow Scotland march 2023. The best night of my life can't wait till they come back 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
hmm....interesting....I didn't doubt there was some post production here, but ...is there a conspiracy???...wtf dude?...oh wait...are you a chick? no offense...just Keziah sounds like a female name to me...
@@v616sirius what is that opinion??? Man sorry but thats dumb to think that way, there is no requirements to be a gojira fan outside of being addicted to it. Some people prefer some albums over other albums, and no i didnt like magma, yet i can see why people like it but i prefer their more brutal stuff. Stuff i listened for over 14 years now, but im not a fan. Yeah, blow me.
I'm 40 years old, saw many Pantera concerts in my early Late teens, early 20's when they were in their prime...just as Trendkill was coming out (was their best time imo)...This is the only band out right now that can compare to that type of brutalness of live metal. Blood brothers that play guitar and drums together are on a whole different level
If you get the opportunity, do watch them live. I have seen them once when they came to my country and I still get goosebumps thinking about it. It's like you are experiencing something for the first time, the music is loud and brutal but yet melodic and gives you a spiritual experience.
I've seen Gojira twice. Both times I didn't know whether to break my neck headbanging or lay down and cry. Their music is the sound of a primal energy and passion that lives inside every human being on this planet.
@@borngeek I got goosebumps reading this thread. I didn't realize it until Gene mentioned it, but I'm definitely feeling that PanterA vibe a bit of SlipKnot, TOOL, and soooo many other dope influences lay within this band and their music. I'm glad I found Gojira because they're my new favorite band. This is everything I loved growing up combined into one piece of art with a refreshing twist 🤘🏼
I sat in dead silence after watching this....realizing that I just witnessed one of the (if not thee) greatest concert videos ever! This was extremely enjoyable! They played and roared like hungry lions! Thank you Gojira!
This band is beyond good. They are fucking great. With that beeing said let me add one more thing: THAT IS HOW A CROWD SHOULD BE !!!! Almost no smartphones. Only happy, friendly people having a GREAT time together!!! Fucking amazing !!!!! Thank you Poland!
I've watched countless live shows by these guys for over 2 years now, But comparing this to the Red Rocks set, this has GOT to be the Best performance of Heaviest matter of the universe ever. And I was blown away by red rocks already
Holy shit. This is one of the best recorded live performances I have ever seen. Like the production value is off the charts, not to mention Gojira’s absolutely stellar performance itself. Brilliant stuff. Deserves more views.
Pol'and'rock crew is very good at recording concerts, also the sound quality/mix live is one of the best I've heard and you can hear everything clearly even from afar. If bands allow they upload these recordings to their official youtube th-cam.com/users/Owsiaknet, or like in this case the bands upload themselves. There are mainly Polish bands but if not interested in these you can also find some great recordings of stuff like Sabaton or Skindred from back when the festival was named Woodstock Poland.
yes totally agree. I've been binge watching hard rock concerts and unfortunately about a 3rd of them the singer is way off and the band is way off. These dudes start fucking spot on and keep it 100% solid the whole concert. The Cell is suck a badass groove!
All this about the drummer and vocals. Let's give the rest of the band some love too! These guys are a complete package. They filled a hole where tool used to be for me. And what a message too! In an industry filled with dark songs where evil sells, these guys are where the heart is!
A 2018 show with no mobile phones in sight! No wonder the crowd had such a great time and everyone was so energetic and excited! Such an amazing show!!
it’s unbelievable that their sound is as same as their album records… no echos, no amp noises. pure tone, there’s no mistakes, the atmosphere is amazing. i wish i was there.
Pol'And'Rock (Polish Woodstock)! An unusual festival! The most beautiful on the world! Amazing atmosphere and all concerts for free. 500,000 positive, happy, cordial people! Whoever was not yet, let him see!
I think it’s just like catching lightning a bottle . Getting all the energy from everyone just making it a magical thing. You’ll never see or hear it played this good again it’s just a lucky thing to witness.
What a liveshow, what a sound, what a perfect setlist but over all, what an audience !!! You, polish people, were an amazing audience for them. Wish we will do better in France at the Hellfest 2019 but I guess it will be very hard. Gojira deserves such an audience. Now crying listening to Vacuity, one of my favourites, but unfortunately always annoucing the end of their show.
@@splatbats I have seen videos of that indeed, poor people what a sad life they have. You need to come to México next time they play here or maybe to Poland I have no idea Polish people rock so damn hard. GOJIRA IS LIFE!
Going through a rough patch of depression right now, and this video gave me so much life. First thing in a week that's had any positive effect on me. Gojira is life! So proud of them making it to this level, and without the help of pop music and love ballads :). Easily one of the most important metal bands of the 21st century, and could definitely go down as one of the greats of all time. Magical 🤘
Keep ya head up and embrace this band from a different planet. Gojira is love on so many levels. Amazing how their magic can uplift us. You got this pal! 🤘🏽 Last verse from Vacuity: “Remain in what you are, the center of your life You made it to this point, no one can tell you how You crawled and bled all the way but you were the only one That was tearing your soul apart, you finally find yourself.”
Sorry to hear that man, same here im going through the motions. I may not know you, but were not alone..i have so much to be happy for too, yet im feeling down. My child will be here soon too i need to prepare. You will make it buddy i know you can!
Love it that people jump right in, give some love... we bond over great (yes, magical) music. Gojira getting me through a rough time also, day by bloody day. Just survive... and eventually you thrive.
You're not alone man, I'm struggling to lift myself up from an ugly time myself. I haven't listened to Gojira in quite some time and oh boy this really awakened something in me, I feel like fighting again. The energy from this band is unreal
@uber lucario - former 'Przystanek Woodstock' Festival, held since 1995. inspired by the original woodstock festival. it's a free festival, funded only by donations.!! - yes, the entry is free.!!:) - last year 800k, since 2011 about 600k-700k every year. absolutely insane how this is pulled.
@@godscoldhands77 Oooh so that's why I can't find anymore Woodstock Poland clips, they rebranded! Always loved Sabaton's concert on Woodstock a few years ago
@@bencegyorog2897 I'm of the opinion that it's one of the songs he can no longer sing right. There's a lot of power to the album version that is always missing when they do it live.

Gojira isn’t a band.
They’re a spiritual entity.
everytime i listen to them its like having the presence of something ancient, wise and hidden from this world (might seem odd i guess..)
Wouldn’t doubt it.
bob frode i kno what u mean my guy
We're all spiritual entities.
I agree it’s the kind of band that make you go somewhere else when you close your eyes
This deserves an award for best-sounding live audio
Listen to the Police live album 😱
Listen to porcupine tree live... Better than in studio
Listen to Devin Townsend playing Kingdom on emgtv. This is amazing, but devy is even better than the album
Totally agree @jon smith
Parkway Drive has a show they did for a DVD from the last few years and that gives this a run for it's money.
Man,gojira will be headlining shows and take place of many beloved bands like Metallica and many others
and they play so much less mainstream music. they're about to make it as a prog band.

No doubt. That had to be their biggest to date.
It is not that much about the nationality as about the fest itself. It's Polish Woodstock festival. However, they had to change the name of the fest last year. It is the biggest open air free festival, no tickets, hence so many people. And it actually doesn't matter if it is metal or reggae concert. There is no other place like that in the whole country, it is an enclave of real freedom. This is our sacred place and we celebrate each concert there that way. We warmly invite you to come and be happy with this extraordinary community we have there. The fest takes place on the Polish-German border on the first weekend of August. If Gojira wins the Golden Spinning award in the voting of Woodstock fans, they should come again to receive the award. This is how it usually works with Woodstock. However, big foreign bands rarely come for the award.
Yeah, we're kinda hyper people at the concerts, however no comparison with Japan or South America, for instance. These folks there are maaad!
The mix on this and all their live stuff is absolutely absurd. The audio engineer deserves a damn nobel peace prize
Well, the organizer of this festival was actually nominated to one last year 😅 (btw this festival has no tickets)
@@majalubiak9189 You just show up?
@@captainbeard3323 yes it’s a public festival i think. you just show up.
wtf fr?? imagine seeing gojira live with this sound quality for free, i just cant.

my life is basically divided into two sections:
1. before discovering Gojira
2. after discovering Gojira
Soroosh Mhs Here's another midlife milestone for you brother; TH-cam Thuleanperspective, and his wife Marie Cachet- revolution
Soroosh Mhs nice Tool logo btw
So fuckin true same was for me
Saw them open up in Kansas City in 07 with Machine Head, Trivium, and Lamb of God. My brother and I got there early and hit the bar at the back of the club. They came out to Flying Whales, so that slow intro started right after the lights went off. They all come out lookin' like Metallica from the 80's, all in black and wristbands. We started walking up to the stage and that shit hit... it was like we were walking in to a wall. There's no describing it. I was instantly hooked. There were a lot of memorable moments from that show, but to this day, my brother and I still talk about the first time Gojira hit us in the face with sound. No lookin' back since.
Can’t wait until I get to experience that.
I'm 51 years old. I've seen a lot of what there has been over the decades. Great shit but this is the most powerful electric sound i've ever heard. I am absolutely blown away by these guys. Animals as leaders is amazing like that too. Love this new generation of metal.
They're not that far from you age wise. All of them except Mario is over 40, and Jean-Michel turns 45 this year. I'm 49 btw. It's funny how the musical brickwall between the generations has crumbled. When I was young, no one that I knew of my parents age listened to the heavier music of the day. Metal was the music of the young. Today, people of all generations listen to the same music.
Same here...50 yrs old and totally hooked on Gojira. I could listen to their music for hours....Animals as leaders I can't get past 2 minutes, sorry. Personal taste I guess.
@@lingonberriesofwrath1836 I am 40, but actually I notice it the other way round. Only us old people listen to hard stuff. There are less and less younger people interested in heavy stuff.
Ha ha! Me, too. I'm turning 50 this summer; I just discovered metal this past year when my buddy dragged me, unwillingly, to a metal festival. I am absolutely hooked. Gojira is fiercely talented and I would love to see them headline - even if it's in a club setting.... Cheers to you, my friend!
@@PatagonianWarrior Great comment. Never really thought about it, but a lot of truth to what you posted. Thanks...
No cellphone !!! Respect Poland !
For those who’ve just come after the Olympics. Welcome. Look what you’ve been missing!
Llegué aquí porque pienso y creo que es una banda no merecedora aun de ser cabeza de cartel del Wacken 2025 eso es para Amon Amarth o powerwolf pero está bien tocan bien pero todavía no los considera una gran banda
@@joseguadaluperamirez4400 quien
@@joseguadaluperamirez4400por mucho que me guste powerwolf, definitivamente no le llega ni a los talones a Gojira. Incluso si subjetivamente los consideras peores, objetivamente están ahí con meshuggah en calidad (mastodon ya no hace Sludge así que no los cuento)
@@joseguadaluperamirez4400 i think they will drop their next album just before this event thats why and with the olympics exposure there is a possibility that they will be considered headliner they might just as well win a grammy later that year.
How have I missed these guys, they are so good. I'm not sure how they flew under my radar for so long.
Pure perfection. It's absurd how good they are. Best metal band in my book.
They're not in my favourite genre but in terms of live-execution? Holy shit I'm unable to name a band that out-performs these guys
Kc deportes? Qué haces aquí?
@@Amazistringsmusic Only matched by Meshuggah in a live setting I'd say.
@@D0ffy i saw both of them but meshuggah were barely close to gojira in terms of performance.
Not saying they were bad, just not as good as the French gods 😅
@@Trippo0793 Have to disagree, I've seen them 4 times and it has always been mind-blowingly tight. One of those gigs is still in my top 3 gigs of all time, absolutely mental and their light shows are always a spectacle. To each his own though, Meshuggah and Gojira are both some of my absolute favourite bands.
this is not live
this is life.
Look at this crowd! No cellphones! Love it
Well tbh if you take your phone up you lose it in like 2seconds
JuSt PeOpLe LiVInG tHE MomENt
Infest90 the way it should be
At Pol'and'Rock you leave everything at your tent. You'd lose that phone in no time.
Nobody gives a fuck. For real. Let people take an 8 second clip of their favorite band to commemorate a mind-blowing show. Not that they could with the crowd being so wild, but still. Who cares?
Can we get some thumbs up for the lighting engineers and their magnificent work.
You beat me to it! Yes I was just going to comment about all the " behind the scenes" people that worked their asses off to get the lights and sound just right to make this show even better. Thumbs up!!
Fuck yeahhhh baby!!!
I was there, I survive, still don't know how
The air was red. Looks toxic.
@@Tetrastructural It was some very hot and sunny days in row, no clouds or rain, so with so many people walking around for few days the whole area turned into a dust desert. There were firefighters who sprayed people with water, people sharing water with eachother, cheep bear, some good guys giving shade to tired people. Great experience! Very tiring but great and unforgetable.
You must be bless by flying whales!!
Pray to the Flying Whales
I lost my shoes in some moshpit, jumped barefoot from this point through the whole thing. Had a bit swollen feet the day after, but jesus it was worth it. And yes, I was a bit drunk to begin with.
Want to see them live again... this was so fuckin brutally awesome
Hands down to Raphaël Bovey, this mix is absolutely crushing
I was thinking how amazing they aound live, they even manage to sound better than on the album, it's crazy!
*Hats off, but yes. It sounds amazing.
Also, just noticed that they're using the tiny but badass Earthworks mics, at least on the toms.
It's kind of surprising Gojira chose that almost unknown swiss guy out of the blue to mix some of their live recordings when they probably can have any high profile mixers in this business to work on their stuff. Anyways, the result sounds as good if not better than the best live videos I've seen. Kudos to Raphaël Bovey, the guy totally nailed this mix.
yep this and Opeth at Red Rock Amphitheater has the best sound I've heard at a metal concert
@@triumphtinltcomicdg
Indeed. That Opeth show sounds classy as hell
The bassist does not get enough credit as the band's dancer.
So tru
His neck is getting thicker with all the head banging he does
such a fucking powerhouse ! he is the hype !
I remember the first time I saw a live perfomance of Flying Whales Joe was the most sinister sounding thing ever and the bassist probably gave himself whiplash but god damn did he lose his fucking mind. These guys are definitely one of the best and most respectable bands I have ever heard.

And it's absolutely incredible!
I love how the comment section on every Gojira videos are filled with positivity. 🙏🙏🙏
You cant fucking hate this band 🖤🖤
It's all about 'Love'
Because GOJIRA talks to our Soul while all other bands cry in the corner!!!
And still most people call metalheads hateful and angry
Its becuz gorjia is overrated
Greatest metal show I've ever witnessed...Mario is a beast
Depends on your style. Behemoth live in paris is one of the greatest things I've ever seen
Best thing that happened to metal in recent years: GOJIRA!
And Gojira is also the best movie monster (get it)

This is the pinnacle of Metal right now. No one wants to follow this intensity and brilliance. Incredible.
24:49 - One of the most magical parts of a Metal song ever made. Brings me to tears every time I hear it. 😭
Fr
Chills every time no joke
Absolutely one of my favorite tracks EVER
I prefer this version to the album version too, adds even more emotion to a part that was already overflowing with it. The lighting makes it even more epic too
Music, sound, lights, performance, crowd, stage... possibly one of the best mix ever. I’m impressed.
48:50 My goodness, that gave me chills. Never heard him do that sort of vocal before.
ICrucifixI whooo !!
wow!!!!
Since I heard this now I want to hear more of those
Had on this on repeat since seeing your comment, such an epic vocal passage
If the new album contains vocals like these, its gonna be killer
The bassist is badass af , hope he doesn't get brain damage tho , you guys have no idea how lucky you are , it's musicians like that bassist who literally gives it his all blood sweat and tears to perform is what made me fall in love with metal , Thank you monsieur Jean-Michel Labadie , 44 years of age what a savage , beautiful musicians and a beautiful concert , i am mind blown , beautiful crowd and the sound engineers who worked on this are out of this world , just a big thank you for everyone who contributed to this masterpiece , this one is for the pages of history
amazing band, amazing crowd ! Respect to Polish people from Belgium
Im French
I must say... Gojira concert in Poland is the best mix❤
Wow amazing band amazing crowd.
I love the French either way, but if i didn't Gojira would be enough anyway
I barely see any smartphones in this crowd. They really enjoy the music, insane !!
who would be so stupid and pull out his smartphone in that wild of a crowd? it's instantly stomped to death :D
..but you are right! its sad that this is even a thing worth mentioning..
Well I was there, barelly anyone has phone battery charged actually because it's 1 week festival in the middle of nowhere. You go there with a tent, food, alcohol, drugs perhaps with 500 thousand of other people and you enjoy life outside of civilization for couple of days. So even if you had your phone there you don't really use it at all. Going there is really life changing experience.
@@Wesolyman sounds epic! and all of this for free, really cool!
great point - they are all plugged into the music
The crowd is one of the best in a Gojira concert, yet they still deserve more.
I've been watching several Poland rock festival videos with different bands and they always have amazing energy and Tobias Forge said in an interview that Poland has one of the best crowds you could ever ask for i honestly wish America had just a fraction of that energy every concert I go to here its mostly people on their phones and maybe 1 or 2 mosh pits its a damn shame
Pol and Rock festiwal (formerly named "woodstock" is a 3 days FREE festival, originaly created 26 years ago for the volunteers of a charitativ orgarisation raising money for hospital supplies for sick kids... I am going there every year, atmosphere is amazing... my 3 days reset from thid shitty world..... + 1 thing they do not show on these replay: it's a tradition to sing "happy birthday" so "sto lat" - 100 years in Polish to the band after each concert...
Any concert from Pol and rock sounds amazing...give those sound engineers a raise!!
Congratulations Poland, this is the best Crowd in a show I've seen in a long time. Congratulations Gojira, you guys are definitely THE HEAVIEST BAND OF THE UNIVERSE AND THE BEST METAL BAND ALIVE. All the show sounds so killer, massive and perfect, extremaly faithful to the records.
they fucking failed the wall of death on flying whales
@@Shompenify1 That's what I was about to say :D That killed it for me.
@@Shompenify1 too bad you're able to see only the one near the stage, I can assure you, there were two or three other walls in the crowd that didn't fail 🤣

Joe's voice is marvelous.
oh yes! did you notice all the vocal variations in "The Cell"? it's absolutely amazing !!!!
@@sashasiobud4793 His voice is perfect in this live. I can't believe it. Truly one of the greatest metal singer of this era.
I agree, dude. People were saying the constant touring lately seems to have taken a bit of a toll on his voice. Maybe true and he toned it down in some parts and didn’t scream, but it’s almost like it became better! This version of L’enfant Sauvage with less screaming almost has like a different dimension to it and it’s so fucking good. How can a singer be toning it down and still be incredible, if not better?!
I mean i love Gojira but in this video his vocals are so autotuned it's ridiculous
Joe truly has a marvelous voice.
So much love for GOJIRA ❤️❤️❤️
I was there and I will never fucking forget how astonishing they were. Wow, just wow... There are no words to say it. I relive that moment at least twice a month. What a jam! I've been to a lot of tight packed gigs on that festival but that... that was something else. Like hive mind. My gf was first time on a big time concert of such type and she just fell right for it. Holy crap still getting goosebumps
Looks like a crowd from the 90's. No phones, just mosh. Impressive. Great show from this fantastic band.
Best band.

I know, my English is not on the great level. :p
Let me praise the production as well. The people responsible for the stage and light designs deserve an award. It´s just beautiful.
Fred Duba This!! The lightshow here is one of the best ive seen in a long time

every concert has the same sound
@@sebastiancyburt6132 well not at all actually, but clearly not every recording of that sound is the same either, it takes lots of hard work and expensive equipment.
@@DruNature The point is that many concerts with Polandrock Festival sound perfect. Live and on video

@@TIAMATPW ok no problem. on youtube there are a lot of concerts from polandrock (and formerly from woodstock) where the concerts always sound perfect.
Have a good day !!
Very energetic young crowd! This has a Metallica vibe concert of 25 years ago, love it. Gojira is killing it!!!
That fucking crowd though. When a band sees that much movement they feed off that too and play even harder. Love it. As a crowd should be.
Love how the first thing they do at the end of their set (@1:16:17) is go and say hi to the fans at the front and thank the security guard.
Class acts all around.
Seems like they do that at every show, they played in India once when they were a bit popular and the guitarist came to the crowd in front and shook hands with people. I was there too.
That crowd.............. OMFG THAT CROWD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S THE CROWD GOJIRA DESERVES !!!! I wish I could buy a beer for each and one of you !!! You guys know how to energize and have an amazing time !!! I love you Poland !!!
There are as many mobiles in the crowd as there are wrong notes played. What a performance. From a Swede, Poland f*****g rocks !!!
This crowd is absolutely amazing!
Metaquist sap jf
I was in the crowd that day. Didn't know Gojira before and it was pretty spontaneous. After like 10 minutes I realized that they were actually pretty good and the show just keeped getting better. Together with the overall atmosphere and the crowd I would say that this was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. The entire festival has an atmosphere that you don't see that much nowadays. Barely any phones at all and everybody is just living the moment. Definitely worth the 450 km car drive.
Is it really free? Can someone who's not from Poland go there too? I need to go there next time. The crowd is nuts.
@@borngeek Yes its free, everyone can go there
What a treat to find out about them live. Been a fan for years and haven't had the chance to see them. Lucky!
borngeek it doesn’t matter where you from. If you live in Europe plain tickets are cheap and just be there;D
thats how they get you

Fr
Facts. was going to post the same. Dude is so unique
So much passion in his delivery
They must have spent a lot of money on this sound production
from recording to mixing
And all for a You tube free upload
That's taking it seriously
I have a lot of friends who after hearing bad live mixes conclude a certain band is crap
which is ridiculous but I guess that's how 80% of human minds work.
Its so much about production
People don't even understand
they take their quality quite seriously, they aren't that beloved for no reason
Nicely said, hope they remain underground and don't end up like Metallica. Death & RATM are good example, till the band ends, they did not change..
The concert itself was free as well mate, they came to Poland from France to perform for this audience and it was just amazing, the band sounded live as good as on this video, most of the mixing done here is reducing the sound of the crowd cheers.
@@sovietjesus2823 Thanks , nicely explained. Gojira delivers good albums, one after the other.
mmm, man, if a band cant do it live, its obviously they needed overproduction in the studio, this is not the case, gojira plays the same as they did on studio, but you can measure the quality of band by hearing them on live perfomances
Best European metal band for a decade! Metal is soooo alive!
Godzilla/Gojira doesnt matter because you are giants!
Shout out to the Polish metal fans.
You are the best metal crowd in the world. Kurwaaaaaaaaaa
For those who don't know - Pol'and'Rock Festival is for free with bunch of awesome bands and crowd with almost 1 million ppl! 🤘🏻🔥🔊🥁🎸🎤
Free? Holy fuck! Living in Adelaide Australia we rarely even get a live show from any metal band and when we do its stupidly expensive.
How They Pay the Bands?

hmm....interesting....I didn't doubt there was some post production here, but ...is there a conspiracy???...wtf dude?...oh wait...are you a chick? no offense...just Keziah sounds like a female name to me...
I prefer the more death metal era they had, but whatever style they are its still good metal shit
If you don’t like magma, you’re clearly not a gojira fan
@@v616sirius what is that opinion??? Man sorry but thats dumb to think that way, there is no requirements to be a gojira fan outside of being addicted to it. Some people prefer some albums over other albums, and no i didnt like magma, yet i can see why people like it but i prefer their more brutal stuff. Stuff i listened for over 14 years now, but im not a fan. Yeah, blow me.
It’s like their own version of Seattle 89’
Same
Except less cocaine, and not as good. This is a great show all around, but it's no Seattle. Too much post-production to even be in the same category.

I'm 40 years old, saw many Pantera concerts in my early Late teens, early 20's when they were in their prime...just as Trendkill was coming out (was their best time imo)...This is the only band out right now that can compare to that type of brutalness of live metal. Blood brothers that play guitar and drums together are on a whole different level
If you get the opportunity, do watch them live. I have seen them once when they came to my country and I still get goosebumps thinking about it. It's like you are experiencing something for the first time, the music is loud and brutal but yet melodic and gives you a spiritual experience.
Gojira's energy reminds me of Pantera, even some of their riffs, I'm very sure they are inspired somehow by them.
Gene Buesking
decapitated is like heavies pantera especially song called kill the cult worth to listen
I've seen Gojira twice. Both times I didn't know whether to break my neck headbanging or lay down and cry. Their music is the sound of a primal energy and passion that lives inside every human being on this planet.
@@borngeek I got goosebumps reading this thread. I didn't realize it until Gene mentioned it, but I'm definitely feeling that PanterA vibe a bit of SlipKnot, TOOL, and soooo many other dope influences lay within this band and their music. I'm glad I found Gojira because they're my new favorite band. This is everything I loved growing up combined into one piece of art with a refreshing twist 🤘🏼
I sat in dead silence after watching this....realizing that I just witnessed one of the (if not thee) greatest concert videos ever! This was extremely enjoyable! They played and roared like hungry lions! Thank you Gojira!
This band is beyond good. They are fucking great.
With that beeing said let me add one more thing:
THAT IS HOW A CROWD SHOULD BE !!!!
Almost no smartphones. Only happy, friendly people having a GREAT time together!!!
Fucking amazing !!!!! Thank you Poland!
I've watched countless live shows by these guys for over 2 years now, But comparing this to the Red Rocks set, this has GOT to be the Best performance of Heaviest matter of the universe ever. And I was blown away by red rocks already
Holy shit. This is one of the best recorded live performances I have ever seen. Like the production value is off the charts, not to mention Gojira’s absolutely stellar performance itself. Brilliant stuff. Deserves more views.
Pol'and'rock crew is very good at recording concerts, also the sound quality/mix live is one of the best I've heard and you can hear everything clearly even from afar. If bands allow they upload these recordings to their official youtube th-cam.com/users/Owsiaknet, or like in this case the bands upload themselves. There are mainly Polish bands but if not interested in these you can also find some great recordings of stuff like Sabaton or Skindred from back when the festival was named Woodstock Poland.
yes totally agree. I've been binge watching hard rock concerts and unfortunately about a 3rd of them the singer is way off and the band is way off. These dudes start fucking spot on and keep it 100% solid the whole concert. The Cell is suck a badass groove!
@@nondorian its been mixed by a swiss guy, not the pol'and'rock staff and i doubt anyone else than Gojira sound engineer did the live mix.
@@lo2740 it's indeed mentionned at the end of the video : Mixed by Raphaël Bovey at MyRoom Studio
All this about the drummer and vocals. Let's give the rest of the band some love too! These guys are a complete package. They filled a hole where tool used to be for me. And what a message too! In an industry filled with dark songs where evil sells, these guys are where the heart is!
My complaint when I saw them. Horrible sound guy. All I could hear was drums and bass hats it
That suuuuuucks! A bad sound guy can ruin ANY show.

What a liveshow, what a sound, what a perfect setlist but over all, what an audience !!! You, polish people, were an amazing audience for them. Wish we will do better in France at the Hellfest 2019 but I guess it will be very hard. Gojira deserves such an audience. Now crying listening to Vacuity, one of my favourites, but unfortunately always annoucing the end of their show.

I’ve been listening to metal for decades now. This is one of the best metal performances ever. Full stop.

Going through a rough patch of depression right now, and this video gave me so much life. First thing in a week that's had any positive effect on me. Gojira is life! So proud of them making it to this level, and without the help of pop music and love ballads :). Easily one of the most important metal bands of the 21st century, and could definitely go down as one of the greats of all time. Magical 🤘
Cheer up mate. Gojira loves you and so do we!!!
Keep ya head up and embrace this band from a different planet. Gojira is love on so many levels. Amazing how their magic can uplift us. You got this pal! 🤘🏽
Last verse from Vacuity:
“Remain in what you are, the center of your life
You made it to this point, no one can tell you how
You crawled and bled all the way but you were the only one
That was tearing your soul apart, you finally find yourself.”
Sorry to hear that man, same here im going through the motions. I may not know you, but were not alone..i have so much to be happy for too, yet im feeling down. My child will be here soon too i need to prepare. You will make it buddy i know you can!
Love it that people jump right in, give some love... we bond over great (yes, magical) music. Gojira getting me through a rough time also, day by bloody day. Just survive... and eventually you thrive.
You're not alone man, I'm struggling to lift myself up from an ugly time myself. I haven't listened to Gojira in quite some time and oh boy this really awakened something in me, I feel like fighting again. The energy from this band is unreal
800k of beautifull people!! Beautifull vibrations! Every year the same emotions on this festival!
@uber lucario every year :)
@uber lucario - former 'Przystanek Woodstock' Festival, held since 1995. inspired by the original woodstock festival. it's a free festival, funded only by donations.!! - yes, the entry is free.!!:) - last year 800k, since 2011 about 600k-700k every year. absolutely insane how this is pulled.
@@godscoldhands77 Oooh so that's why I can't find anymore Woodstock Poland clips, they rebranded! Always loved Sabaton's concert on Woodstock a few years ago
1) his voice makes me want to cry for it's so beautiful
2) no Oroborus ? Surprising
3) been waiting for so looong
Gabriel Osório oroborus and toxic
Shit u're right
His vocal performance in L'enfant sauvage is just something else...
@@bencegyorog2897 yeah man you feel the emotion in every word
@@bencegyorog2897 I'm of the opinion that it's one of the songs he can no longer sing right. There's a lot of power to the album version that is always missing when they do it live.
The audio quality is damn outstanding.
Thank you france for this amazing band, thank you poland for this amazing crowd and thank you to everyone in this commentary section for being so nice, this community is amazing.
Love is spread throughout the nations here
