BAND-MAID - FROM NOW ON - live at Park West Chicago- Ryan Mear Reacts

This is my live footage of From Now On at Park West, Chicago. Right from the rail!!!
I don't know what I can say other than it was so mindblowing to see this performed so close!!! Being able to see Kanami do what she does and STILL be amazed and surprised......just, well, awesome.
Thanks so much for the support, I couldn't do this without the Patrons!

The fact that she can play pretty much everything with her eyes closed implies an exceptional level of talent and countless hours of practice! She is very special indeed!

[@WavePotter]

I was expecting a big ol “AWESOME!” at the end of this 😂

[@paulsmith7062]

Love how much Kanami falls into her playing

[@surfingasongwave]

Mincho is so lyrical while being so aggressive. The same goes for MISA and Akane. The power trio at the center of the Band-Maid sound.

[@davids9445]

Kanami in her power stance just so Awesome! 😅🤘🏻. Sounded great

[@cholatse6745]

Great capture, Thanks! I absolutely love to watch how music flooding her blood strains. She’s is so totally in it, that’s not just a noodling job, that’s her entirely. I could watch her for hours … even muted 😊

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Man, you got the perfect spot for a Maid concert. Nice trash can ending, too! Hope you got more. Thx Ryan, for bringing it to us!

[@GaryHolloway-810]

That's where i'll be, Tom, if the Maids ever come back to the UK.😔

[@TomClark-Futoura]

@@GaryHolloway-810 You'll get yours yet -- a Band-Maid concert, I mean! And then I'll be the one totally devastated and destitute on the floor praying for forgiveness and survival...😩 Sorry. Too soon? 😟

You and Alan both stuck the landing with your maid footage this past week. Awesome job!!

[@vincenzo-maidiac-5457]

Is it possible not to fall in love with Kanami after seeing her play?

[@brunobryant4846]

Only if you're in a coma or deceased 😂 She is just so gorgeous from the inside out and how so much talent got crammed into such a petite frame defies the laws of physics

[@realdocloco]

Nicely captured, sound and image! And 12 hours later, they were supercharged for the festival - incredible!

[@mikeosgood3846]

Some of the best "speaking" I've ever heard from Kanami 🤘

[@Kissthetoad321]

Simply fantastic or... awesome. I'm so happy to see Mincho in an ecstatic trance. My guitar hero. ❤ Thank you so much Ryan.

[@jlcsr9163]

Mincho mode

[@herbpoints]

This is absolutely stunning 😮 I'm in tears now. Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏

[@BillHallisey]

Ryan, while the focuses of "From Now On" are on Kanami and Misa's brilliance as rock guitarists, shouldn't Miku get a lot more respect for her solid professional work. Boy, she has come a long way from the beginning of Band Maid. The best thing about Band Maid is how much each member has grown professional and personally from their interactions and work with each other.

[@RyanMear]

For sure, but she's been playing for a decade now! She's no longer a newbie 😂

[@JuanSan66]

Seasoned musicians! Every time I see Kanami's pedalboard I absolutely amaze. Great job Ryan!

[@melocitysolo9574]

Nice fancam!! I love the composition of Miku and Kanami playing guitar back to back.

[@lonniekramlich6241]

Saturday evening can't come soon enough !! 😏❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘Thanks, Ryan !

[@dkmusic7000]

Kanami slayed it at Park West. Thanks for posting this video. I was there one head behind the rail, directly in front of Miku. Unfortunately i didn't see much of Kanami unless she came to the center. But that's ok, I got Miku and MISA! Miku gave me acknowledgement for my hard work during Omajinai Time. (At least I think so, im sticking to it.) This was such an AWESOME night. ぽ

[@yuenbrian1971]

Absolutely AWESOME!

[@80mtn]

Wow! Thanks, Ryan. That was outstanding! I was watching another fancam of the show and there you were on the rail. Watching you enjoying it so much was really cool! MINCHO!!!!

[@hiawatha.g]

Great capture Ryan. I had a similar experience last year, got to watch Kanami's hands for the entire thing--just mesmerizing.

[@exit1368]

🙌 Absolute perfection! What an amazing week it’s been for all Maidiac’s!! Thanks Ryan! 🤟

[@Davey-Boyd]

Absolutely awesome! Thank you Ryan. I have to wait until October to see them, can't wait!

[@jsellitto]

Thanks Ryan. The next best thing to being there...perfect camera view from the front row. I know you were feeling it, just didn't verbalize, how AWESOME Kanami and the rest of Band-Maid is. ❤

[@nooyck]

Very AWESOME ..... KANAMI

[@jamesgodwin868]

Thanks,Ryan,for sharing. I wish I could been there,too.

[@4thArmoredVet]

Ryan, this is so f'ing great! Thank you my man! 🤘

[@danielkral9896]

I've heard it about 50 times. Each instrument separately, it's beautiful. Akane and her drums this is pure murder , unreal😂👋👍

[@Retec]

Damn I look so goofy in front of Misa. 😆 Excellent video!

[@kennogawa6638]

I hope it was a big crowd at the after-party concert.

[@danbuter]

I have to wonder if Miku has ever accidentally stepped on Misa's feet during a concert. Kanami is fucking awesome, as always.

[@Kevin6059]

Awesome! Hey, it was good to say hi and shake your hand in the Park West line. While part of me was envious of you guys on the rail, I could have been right behind you but decided to stake out a spot right in the middle just far enough back to be on the first elevated tier. I loved it! Hope you enjoyed Park West - it's one of my fave venues in Chicago and I've seen a lot of great shows there. I should have bent your ear more but didn't want to hassle you too much. Did you make it to Lolla the next day too? I did, and after that I could have slept for two days I think. Keep up the good work!

[@Bulbagaba992]

Nice video, thak you for sharing Ryan san!☺️🤘🏻

[@michaelhill4353]

Hey Ryan. Perfectly situated in prime position upfront while capturing "From Now On" then and there for those of us either Stateside or outside of the US, unable to attend this serving from our beloved Maids in person. Certainly looking forward to Wave's upcoming interview with Gacharic Spin alongside his review of their performance from Anime Matsuri in Houston which I believe will mark their fourth appearance at AM, having previously performed there in 2011, 2017 and 2019.✌️❤️🤘

[@RyanMear]

I will be there with him😉

[@michaelhill4353]

@@RyanMear You lucky bastard lol!!. If Alan also happens to be in attendance, just be sure he doesn't jump in on the interview with Wave as his pronunciation of the band's name is ass. Fingers crossed Wave manages to keep his shit together during the interview and that his knees don't give way while in their presence, or more specifically, Hana's.✌️❤️🤘

[@alskiindy4725]

It was a magical evening. The girls were on point and firing on all cylinders.

[@corniliusnicholas]

Superb!!! What I’ve been waiting for…

[@pitamaid]

Excellent! Wonderful !😍

Great saying hi to you again before the show!

[@larryhoopingarner6445]

Excellent Ryan!

[@kebobs3727]

I was standing right in front of kanami, was surprised the couple clips I recorded came out at all with audio

[@Miraie93]

Damn Im still can't believe it this band is all female band. They're just too good.

[@RyanMear]

Then you are missing out on a LOT of great music.

[@flacchecker8264]

Thanks for confirming my suspicion, They full sent that one. From now one at lollapalooza was flat . You know the girls had their wheaties when that song makes you feel like you jumped out of plane . Thanks Ryan! 🤘

[@neilwoodley530]

To quote someone that I watched reacting to "Manners"...... I'm f*****g staggered! Great foootage kiddo. I'm guessing there is more. 😊

[@HiroKawa-dc9fw]

As the Ryan Mear T-shirt I own says: "Shut up, Kanami is speaking!"

Great Video Ryan!! That's a great spot for sure!

[@ericifune5543]

Kanami, so demure off stage but rock star swagger on stage.

[@KungFuChess]

Camera timing is on point

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Just absolutely makes my day this does. Thx Ryan.🥲👍

[@Parker--]

So I was about three people back and a few to the right from where Ryan was standing behind some short people; direct line of sight. He had a red shirt so it was easy to see it was him. Funnily, you could tell he was just waiting for Beauty School Dropout to get done, as were most of us, but once the Maids were on stage I glanced over at everyone in front of me, saw several phones pop out and saw Ryan and even from that direction without seeing his face, I could see his face perked up and was smiling from ear to ear. 😊

[@GaryHolloway-810]

@@Parker-- That's great, Parker, i'm glad you had an amazing time & had a great view. Yeah Ryan would never hear the end of it if he was caught on cam not looking hyped to be at a B-M show....well from me he wouldn't anyway.🤣

Two days to go, I'm loosing my frikin mind!

[@user-zg5tl9py6d]

Hmmm…Kanami's guitar playing is too beautiful as always. In my case, I am fascinated by every single movement she makes. I'd like to write about the other members, but it would be too long, so I'll stop. 😃Absolute legend ‼︎
