Band Maid - Onset - American Dream Mall NJ

OMG! Mincho was really feeling it on this performance (I felt it too).

[@TomdeArgentina]

Kanami San was out there, I can't think of anybody else except Jimmy Hendrix out there. I´m breathless.

[@EliteRock]

Man, the effort they put into laying it on their audience, frikking heroic.

[@ibdaffy]

No hiding behind any studio tricks here. Band-Maid is to legit to quit!!! Thank God we have them!

[@gwyld]

I saw the other live video of this song, and thought maybe it was overproduced to make is sound perfect. Then I find this one, and they play it perfectly. Holy shit are they talented !

[@VladimirChupin]

It's interesting that Kanami makes mistakes, but it's really cool how she resolves them gracefully!

[@zolitoth2458]

@@VladimirChupin Poor Mincho, he could hardly stand on his feet. He went to sleep after "from now".

[@jamescivet9767]

This is my favorite Band Maid song

[@michaelbailey1403]

Like with the Beatles, almost all of Band Maid's songs are my favorite.

[@PaulEngineer]

Rockstars!!

[@davideastman6019]

My Nephew Dave asked me to come, glad I did 👍This band Rocks 😎

[@davideastman6019]

First show at the Mall, they need to work on stage, higher so we all can see with general admission, sound was spot on 👍

[@sheldoncooper8199]

I Love How Kanami is Really enjoying Playing the Solo instead of Just Playing the Solo

[@ainohititosu]

That bass is too thick, I love it 🔥

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

Perfect shot. You could see how each of them used their rigs. Misa and Miku only used theirs to toggle in and out of "solo mode" but Kanami was really using hers to great effect

[@Toxickbd]

I’m so glad I got to see them here and it was 1st time

[@user-bt4rr6ix4o]

かっこええ

[@myeckwaters]

Well I'm glad *someone* had a good view of the band that night.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Were you there? If so, please tell us about the gig and audience size, etc. Thx!

[@myeckwaters]

@@TomClark-Futoura The venue was a joke. It was a tiny stage set against a wall near a few rides in an indoor theme park. There were multiple pillars supporting a roller coaster directly in front of the stage, so starting at about 40 feet out there were major obstructed views. The audience was on foot and the stage was low, so most of the time I could literally see nothing of the band.
The sound was super bass heavy where I was. On the plus side, MISA's bass and Akane's kick drums were like body blows. On the negative side Kanami's guitar was too low and Miku's was barely audible.
The band seemed to be in good spirits and they and the audience were feeding into each other the whole time.

[@Blanzalot]

@@myeckwaters ya I was noticing that it did not look like a venue made for concerts.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

@@myeckwaters Sorry you couldn't experience the Maids in a better venue. So the place didn't support or have 2,500 attending, huh? Maybe give this feedback to Ticket Masters and Live Nation. Thx!

[@taxinvasion260]

@@myeckwaters Yeah I was confused on where in the mall they were when watching the vid, I couldn't really think of too many good places for a concert in American Dream.

[@VladimirChupin]

Amazing! Perfect sound!
It's interesting that it's a little bit overloaded, but it makes it even better! 🤘😍💥

[@user-sl5qz3lg2e]

They are so good live!

[@markh1085]

Awesome band. I can’t wait to see them. So much great content has come up from the aftershock and US tour

[@mrraiarj]

So talented

[@adriangreenoff9163]

Abso fucking lutely love this band!😍🤘💥🇬🇧

[@BulletProofSoul1029]

Great live sound and the whole band is in the pocket.

[@sheldoncooper8199]

@rukahs9
I would dare to say they are The Best All Female Band on earth followed by Nemophila

[@Alanoffer]

Great bass sound , hope they come to europe in 23

[@saisolitaire]

shit, i teared up a little.

[@stephenzengel6662]

You picked the perfect spot to take video.

[@Davey-Boyd]

❤

[@sheldoncooper8199]

Holy Shit that Misa Bass Sound

[@UncleYoshi]

You got an awesome view Alex! I was in the back behind you.

[@JWPanimation]

Damn, wish they played this at Irving Plaza. New Jersey I'm so jealous.... Probably to give Saiki's voice some more rest after NY and Boston. Atleast we got Daydreaming in the city.

[@romand65]

these girls are really very skilled

[@charlescrawford5417]

L💙

[@randomman4938]

Shame that such a great band like Band Maid has to play in such a shitty venue when they come to the US.

[@PaulPaullus]

0:05/0:12 -> Green laser attack!! Look out for the green laser!!! ...........po!...........

[@purethinking269]

Band Maid is way to good to be entertaining in a mall. What kind of failure of a management cannot get them a solid gig in even a small stadium or theater. Get 5 Japanese bands and call it, the invasion . Awesome band. Terrible management.

[@FoEKringle]

are these girls in any relation to the band Baby Metal?

[@shinkahye02]

nope =)

[@williamb4652]

I just don't get why anyone would see a connection between these guys and Baby Metal

[@VladimirChupin]

Yes, the acronyms may easily be confused: B-M and BM. It's the only connection.
Otherwise, they are as far apart in style as is probably possible.

[@jamesredman1263]

Not at all.
There are hundreds of excellent bands in Japan. Many are friends with each other, but not usually connected as bands.

[@xaoslordxaosynth106]

This looks and sounds horrid. Leave video to people who know what they're doing instead of trying to clout chase like a fool.
