BAND-MAID Dice/Hate live at Spokane August 12th 2023

[@nickjohnson8583]

I spent the last 6 months introducing more and more BAND-MAID to my wife. When we found out they were coming to Spokane it was an easy sell to get her to go with me. She’s still buzzing with excitement after last night’s show. She might be a bigger Maidiac than me now!

[@BMCanuck]

Band-Maid fans are very smart :), and have great taste!

[@teamshaboobalu2887]

@@BMCanuck - I used to think I was the only Band-Maid fan in Spokane lol.

[@BMCanuck]

@@teamshaboobalu2887 not many of us yet but we are everywhere. I drove down from Vancouver BC for the Portland & Spokane shows. Easy drive to support the maids!

[@danielmorgan2439]

Seems like every show they get better and better, wow!

[@palominokid3002]

So true !

[@sonoriuxo2437]

Indeed!

[@BMCanuck]

The are now so at ease in front of a US audience and it shows in their performance!

[@arthurg7894]

I cannot express how fortunate I feel to have seen this in person 😭

[@BMCanuck]

Me too! Awesome band and people.

[@dennisthemenace671]

Yes I feel the same way .

[@jeffb2550]

I was there and this was approximately my view the whole show from the 3rd row balcony. I know a lot of people have said it before but nothing compares to actually seeing Band-Maid live. Some bands are studio bands and some are live bands and as much as I like their studio work, BM is a live band.

[@BMCanuck]

We were so fortunate to see them in such a great small venue! Yes , they are great live!

[@bandmaidfanATL]

So good! So great. So awesome.

[@BMCanuck]

Was a great final duo!

[@rannos69]

I got to see them live for the first time in Spokane. Such a great show. Their musicianship is off the charts!

[@BMCanuck]

Congrats on attending your 1st Band-Maid okyuji! And the Bing was a great place to be able to witness their skills up close.

[@stevekane4922]

Great. Mincho and MISA are so relaxed. I think deep inside Mincho felt that each gig was an exam she had to pass, hence having to be rather aggressive but she's suddenly realised that actually she's one of the best in the world, all that hard work is paying off. I think the Rolling Stone review was very important because it basically said that, and another reviewer said they were the best rock and roll act there (1975 eat crow 😂). Miko also has her tail in the air. Ever since they've been treating it as a festa.

[@BMCanuck]

Yes, they are now very comfortable and at ease playing here and it shows is how they perform and engage with the fans! We are all so lucky to witness this. All their hard work is paying off.

[@stevekane4922]

@@BMCanuck people (non Asian maybe) just wouldn't believe the work they've put into their music, themselves and each other, and it all comes out in their impeccable stagecraft.

[@blank557]

Excellent angle recording the performance. My face melts every time Misa and Kanami go at it with the guitars.

[@BMCanuck]

Thanks! This angle really shows how much effort each one of them puts into performing for us!! And yes, Misa and Kanami just melt those guitars.

[@curtisi4403]

Loved Mincho air drumming

[@daaaaaave]

About 6:20 if anyone missed it.

[@BMCanuck]

I did! Thanks for noticing that. So great how they support each other!

[@4thArmoredVet]

One of the best live vids I've ever seen! Thanks🙏

[@BMCanuck]

Thanks! Glad to be able to share it with everyone. Was so fortunate to see them live.

[@xsveron1287]

so great to see them relaxed and enjoying playing 😀😀😀

[@BMCanuck]

I think this is the biggest change over their tour here last year and it shows!

[@edwardmcalister8743]

It's amazing to watch their progression as a band. At first, they are a bit timid, a bit unsure, then bit by bit they develop, mature, get more and more adept at their craft. And today, wow, we have the full Band-Maid. Such an amazing journey to witness.

[@BMCanuck]

You are right! From when I first saw them live in Phoenix in 2022, to then in Portland and Spokane in 2023 and finally at the Yokohama tour final it was insane how much they had improved. They all progressed significantly but I think it was most evident with Saiki. The power in her voice, her command of the stage and her confidence are now off the charts! Can't wait to see them again.

[@barrycounts490]

My sister and niece live in Spokane their here somewhere =) I love "Hate" !

[@BMCanuck]

Glad they added Spokane to their schedule to give more people a chance to see them live.

[@Kozouakumachan9079]

Shes so amazing vocalist vocks really great band and song. parfect✨scampering!!🎶⚡💥💖☝🏻🤘🏼👍🌟

Easily the best overall fancam of this I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing!!

[@BMCanuck]

Thanks! Glad to share it with everyone.

[@Timber1508]

I was there. It was just next-level good.

[@BMCanuck]

They are performing at another level on this tour compared to even a year ago. We were so lucky to witness this one at such a great little theater!

[@bm4-life]

WOW! *Richard Kaga* what video and audio quality it is like being at a live show thank you for posting this video and *Mincho* never played so good live 😊

[@BMCanuck]

The venue was small so had a great view from the first row of the balcony and the sound was great from there as it was designed for good acoustics. They are all playing and performing at another level compared to just a year ago!

[@umpanlari]

Awesome footage. Great views can see them all on action! the mix is so good! DICE & HATE back to back is a really cool-deadly draw👍🏼🔥👍🏼

[@BMCanuck]

Yes, what a great duo of songs! Had 1st row balcony seats and the acoustics were excellent.

[@rwbymetal2582]

Amazing clip, audio mix. Love how BRIGHT Akane’s cymbals sounding 🎉

[@BMCanuck]

The acoustics in this small theater were awesome and almost perfect from the front of the balcony. Getting a full view of Akane for the whole show was a treat!

[@grahamreed8774]

Hi Richard, Thanks for getting this up so quickly. Great view of the stage so I guess that you were in some sort of balcony. If I can't get on or near the rail, front row balcony is the next best thing. I'm in the UK so am totally reliant on you guys in the US giving us the best fancam videos possible of their shows. We expect it of the other band members, but I have been totally blow away by Miku's guitar work during these US tours. Thanks again.

[@BMCanuck]

Managed to get 1st row balcony seats and the venue was small but with great acoustics. I think it is important to share the live fan experience with everyone as there is nothing quite like it. The maids are all playing at an extremely high level compared to even one year ago. Hope they tour the UK soon!

[@Greyfox641]

Absolute favorite part! Thanks for uploading ❤

[@BMCanuck]

They are scary good and getting better! What a great song duo and they killed it live!

[@philipcable437]

They really know how to rock your socks off don't they!!

[@BMCanuck]

Yes, they have really learnt to let loose in front of US fans!

[@bkeith1853]

I saw them live in Seattle last year at Neptune Theater. If I knew they would play in Spokane a year later I would have waited because it’s hard to see them at the Neptune unless you are in the front row. This looked like a great concert. Band Maid is definitely my favorite band.

[@BMCanuck]

The Bing Crosby in Spokane is a small concert venue with a capacity of about 750. All the seats were assigned and had great views and acoustics. The atmosphere was a bit calm for a Band-Maid okyuji but you were really able to take in their performance. The Neptune must have been exciting as it was their first non festival show in the US in quite a few years. I saw them for my first time last year in Phoenix and it was surreal seeing them in person. Love that band!

[@palominokid3002]

the new live presentation of Dice+Akane solo+Hate? is one of my favorite things about their current set ! Thanks for sharing this great footage of last night’s version :)

[@BMCanuck]

Yes, everyone loves the extended transitions!!

[@foong171183]

7:00 MISA: You wanna closed-up? Here you go! 😂😂 😂

[@russellpotter7294]

How relaxed must they be when they when they can perform and just have such a great time like this.

[@BMCanuck]

Glad you caught that! You can really see how relaxed and comfortable they are preforming for a US audience compared to just one year ago.

[@jeffb2550]

@@BMCanuck My wife and I were third row on the balcony, center-left (MISA side) and I agree, the sound was fantastic. We could hear every instrument clearly and Saiki’s vocals were way on top which is as it should be.

When I saw faces of Misa and Kanami in Lalapalooza during Hate, I realized, they are not humans.

[@BMCanuck]

Yes, the extended guitar parts in the live version takes the song to another level elevated by Misa and Kanami. We are very lucky to be able to witness this band performing at the top of their game!
