BAND‐MAID - DOMINATION - Oct 21 2022 at House of Blues, Dallas, TX, USA

[@I_am_Warthog]

Vladimir, I'd like to thank you for filming and sharing these shows. I have health issues that pretty much guarantee I'll never get the chance to attend a BAND-MAID Okyu-ji in person, so being able to watch your videos of them has been fantastic! Thanks again.

[@louhaven]

I too would like to thank everyone who shares video of these Band-Maid shows. For this aussie, I very much doubt I'll be able to get to see them live either. My health also precludes me from leaving the area I live in. I really do appreciate all your hard work.

I would also add my thank you. I live on disability so going to concerts is practically a no go for me. Plus, I’m in Canada so travelling to the US is too expensive for me. I live vicariously through all these videos.

[@VladimirChupin]

That's entirely my purpose in recording these videos: to bring BAND-MAID's healing power to the nations. I'm glad I was able to help you guys! Love and prayers from the bottom of my heart! 💖🥰

[@kevinlane7555]

They have absolutely mastered the art of drawing the audience in and making them feel like they belong, and we love them for it

[@RobinC63]

It’s incredible to see how Saiki has grown as a front woman.

[@louhaven]

Its all to do with inclusiveness. Aka you feel as if you are helping them to perform at their best. Some bands have it, some don't. Band-Maid certainly does. The BTS (behind the scenes, per se), shows they are all for the music, they all help each other with each track, and in life generally. It is amazing to see.

[@davidtollefson8411]

They are absolutely on fire, all five of them. Getting to play in front of loud and appreciative crowds as really bolstered their confidence.

[@tamotsuish]

Fantastic video, I love this band so much. They sound so awesome! Also, what a great crowd!

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

Thank you Vladimir for going on tour with Band-Maid recording a lot of shows, priceless and highly appreciated.

[@davidtollefson8411]

Indeed.

[@VladimirChupin]

I'm glad I did, against all the odds! It was truly a miracle that I was able to go that far and travel so extensively, following the girls to ten cities, in the end!

[@davidtollefson8411]

What an amazing journey you went on. You were able to see more of the U.S. then most Americans! I still can't believe I actually saw them.

[@kuni2304]

Awesome show of BAND-MAID! Nice footage of you ! Many thanks Vladimir ! From Japan.

[@VladimirChupin]

💖🙏

[@johnmagill7714]

cant believe this was over a year ago already. I was there. I got lucky, I was front row just to Saiki's right. ALl 5 of the ladies had juge smiles the entire time.

[@VladimirChupin]

Saiki was pointing at you and smiling, right? 😍

[@BlazinNSoul]

If you can get a Dallas crowd this engaged. They are going to dominate the rest of the tour!! No wonder they were asked to open for Guns and Roses in November lol. 🤘💕🦊

[@russellpotter7294]

Have a feeling they had a good time.

[@UnderARock]

Man what a great recording! I was there too Vlad, what a great show. My first time seeing them. Your videos are always excellent. Thanks!

[@VladimirChupin]

[@mamiackerman_1004]

Thank you so much, Vlad-san

[@VladimirChupin]

My pleasure! 🙏

The best thing about this video (apart from ... you know... Band-Maid and the song, and that it was awesome) ... is that any reactor who watches the Line Cube Shibuya clip and reiterate "yeah .. that's obviously post-processed. They probably sound good, but not THAT perfect" can just be directed here ;)

[@VladimirChupin]

Boston was also pretty good, and that was Kanami's side. There was one guy under a video from a show in Philadelphia, and he kept insisting that they only imitate playing, and even their hands do not hit the strings at the right moments. I said, "They make mistakes, it proves they actually play it live." He said he does not hear any mistakes 😳 Then I watched "from now on" from Boston, and in fact, Kanami is not only making mistakes, she actually improvises a lot! Her guitar solos are quite different from the studio version! This question is raised time and time again, that BAND-MAID don't play their own instruments, they fake it. Such live recordings, therefore, is a good demonstration tool to show that they are indeed as great as we see them.

[@SocialNetwooky]

@@VladimirChupin and then there is their rendition of a song (I thought it was "hate!" but apparently it was another one) in which Kanami had to tune her guitar at the start (As Alan from Dicodec noticed). If they are fake-playing, that's a sign of pure dedication to keep it real looking ;)

[@VladimirChupin]

@@SocialNetwooky Indeed! 🥰😍

[@edwardbarnes3389]

This tour will probably end the small venues ! they are too popular now !

[@HandOfTheSloth]

I'm sorry Dallas is largely pitch-blind. I was there trying to sing in key, at least :P

[@VladimirChupin]

😝😂😂😂

[@kyles5513]

That's gotta be the worst part about a band-maid show. When the lights come on at the end.
