He doesn't look happy about it.
I bet he's angry because he knows the built in mics are crap and will pick up just as much noise as they will music, and then he got even angrier as he considered how Poland was part of the USSR and that there was no way he'd be able to pick up a high quality microphone for an affordable price.
Poland was not part of the USSR...
Correct, but the ruling party at the time was under the influence of the USSR.
Not influence, control. They were allowed to do their own thing only as long as they did nothing to annoy Moscow and followed all orders.
That's a difference without distinction.
Most Polish people would disagree. Poland got pretty fucked in ww2, from all sides, but at least they managed to hold on to some of their sovereignty and not be forced to join USSR as a Soviet Republic.
This partially allowed the democratization movement to form in Poland in the 80s (with Solidarność) and eventually for Poland to get out from under Russia's boot and join the EU and NATO, and avoid the fate of former Soviet Republics like Belarus and Ukraine.
As a Polish/American, that has not been my experience.
Tell me you're recording this concert for your daughter without telling me you're recording this concert for your daughter.
maybe he realised he didn't like the music and he's wasting his time
