Band Maid - The Dragon Cries (USA TOUR DEBUT) Irving Plaza NYC

[@dansimo59]

They have become my favorite band. Everything they do is satisfying. I find myself always coming back for more. Just an amazing band!

[@ヒマワリのたね]

この曲を披露したのは会場にいるトニー・ヴィスコンティに敬意を示したからかな。 めったにセトリに入らない曲だからこの場にいたご主人様達はラッキーだったね。

[@Mad_maxman]

この曲とMVが公表された当時、賛否両論に真っ二つに意見が分かれた事が信じられない。 この曲はスタジオ録音とライブ録音とでは全く異なった曲のように聞こえる。そして圧倒的にライブ録音の方が音もフィーリングも格段に良い。 今も過小評価されていることが不思議な位だ。

[@michaelbartolomeo2926]

My wife and I WERE AT THIS SHOW ... about 20 feet behind and to the right of the guy filming this ... of course, my wife being barely 5 feet tall couldn't see anything but the leather jacket of the guy in front of her ... she promptly informed me that next time I am to buy the VIP package so that she can stand at the balcony rail and see the show ... which was FANTASTIC btw!

[@philcalvino884]

Wow. Performances like this show you why Band-Maid songs need to be experienced live. So much clearer and more electrifying than the recorded version. Everyone was stellar, and Saiki--omg, she absolutely nailed this.

[@russellpotter7294]

Nice tribute to Tony Visconti who was there. Brilliant

[@TlanImass]

This song slaps without the compression! Awesome!

[@kevinlane7555]

The Maids must have rehearsed a lot of songs to prepare for this tour....they've really been changing it up along the way

[@BlazinNSoul]

Yea no kidding lol. To have that many changes in your lineup & still give that kind of performance, wow! Let's give these ladies a proper arena tour next time. They earned this one!! 🤘🦊💕

[@川島直樹-e2f]

I couldn't agree more! Someone wrote they have played 32 songs so far...Unbelievable! This shows how hard-working they are to entertain their fans in each venue. I guess they might have changed their setlist after meeting Tony Visconti and put this tune in the list.

[@matty2457]

What a bass player!!!!!!

[@recon3113]

Probably the Maid’s most underrated song but it ducking 🖕🦆 Rocks. 😎🤘🇨🇦🤘

[@mckeepa1]

Oh damn,…NY got The Dragon Cries too?!!! I’m just going to have to follow them to every show next time.

[@thockee]

Miku with that little lead run at 3:27 after Kanami’s solo 😘

[@wrcompositi]

WOW, what a surprise! Is Tony crying while watching them live again after 3 years? It's been amazing to see the subtle changes of setlist throughout this tour. We need to see "I'll" and "Balance" in Chicago, go maids!

[@weilima9316]

32 different songs performed so far.

[@Dan-mc7xg]

I hope they play... I'll. It will absolutely rock the house!

[@JerryGoNuts]

Tony may have NOT cried -- therefore -- I WILL CRY FOR HIM!!!

[@PaulEngineer]

"Tell me why-y-y-y, too many teardrops. Visconti Cries!!"

[@JasonKale]

Saiki seems so amazing here shes gotten so powerful, She seems different the way she moves everything. What an amazing performance.

[@Dan-mc7xg]

I'm surprised they don't play this one more, especially since it is an all English song. It rocks, and it doesn't sound like anything else in their playlist. Lucky NYC!

[@edwardbarnes3389]

Saiki is so much joy, her talent as lead singer is unmatched !

[@Kissthetoad321]

Nice tribute to Tony Visconti. The Maids never forget the people who have helped them in their career. (Except their first producer).😁. Thank you Ron for this great video.

[@marloforreal]

What's the story behind their first producer? Curious xD

[@Kissthetoad321]

@@marloforreal If you want to know, watch Band-Maid Nippon 18 on YT (it's translated into English) and you'll understand. Miku and Saiki will explain it to you better than me. All Maidiacs know this real story.

[@bertg2779]

I've seen AC/DC, Rush, Aerosmith, Ozzy, Yes, Roth, Hagar, Kiss, just about every Rock band in the seventies and eighties. I pretty much quit music during the nineties. I still go see shows with my wife, but the magic was gone. Sucked into compartmentalized, commercialized money-making genres. Seeing Band Maid last week was the best show, most fun I've had since those days. When Baby Metal tours I will fly to wherever they play. If it's a midlife crisis, Bring It On !

[@michaelthain4488]

Same but mine is not a middle life crisis but a late life crisis lol

[@785boats]

@@michaelthain4488 I'm right there with you on that one Michael. Bert: I agree whole heartedly with everything you said, & have gone through exactly the same scenario.

[@mamiackerman_1004]

Wow Tony Visconti, who was there, would definitely be proud of this performance xD

[@zolitoth2458]

Ron! We are never disappointed in you!!!!!

[@mv3873]

最高だ〜〜〜🤘😎🤘

[@白い兎-p6w]

この曲に限った事ではないが、東海岸に来て、特にニューヨークでは、SAIKIが、そしてバンドも、何と云うか大人っぽくなったような気がする。 もちろんそれは素晴らしい変化。 つまり余裕ですね。

[@nyakorin7776]

I love this song, Tony-san is happy too.

[@davidtollefson8411]

What a treat! David Bowie would've absolutely loved this band. And probably Hendrix too. Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@davids9445]

Great song live. And Kanami’s solo is sooo good in this song

[@cats-eyes]

Wow, awesome! In my memory, I think that "Dragon Cries" has only been played at 2020 Line Cube Shibuya so far, but I think they were each other happy to be able to play in front of Tony Visconti. And, Line Cube Shibuya was a very memorable concert for me, and I am very jealous that this New York concert was also a great one.

[@estherbrowne2017]

Same…and i like it more when they played on LCS okyuji….Live much more better..and this came out live in NY😳 holy cow!!!

[@cats-eyes]

@@estherbrowne2017 Yes! Starting with "Rinne", followed by "Blooming" and ending with "Endless Story", the live performance at Line Cube Shibuya was truly great!

[@rickwagner-]

Most of the concerts weren't recorded, but they performed 'The Dragon Cries' in Japan six times in 2019 and five times in 2020, including the two Line Cube Shibuya shows.

[@cats-eyes]

@@rickwagner- Oh, thanks for the detailed info! As expected of Maidiac, Great!👍 Come to think of it, I was planning to go to a concert in Yokohama in 2019, but it's a painful memory that I couldn't go because I was hospitalized due to a motorcycle accident.😭

[@rickwagner-]

@@cats-eyes Sorry you missed that show. Hopefully there will be many more in your future.

[@jimmoriarty8235]

My first band-maid song..!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The song that made me fall in love with them ❤️❤️❤️ #bandmaid #takeovertheworld

[@TomClark-Futoura]

I'm crying I wasn't there! 🥲 But I had San Diego! 🤣Thx, Ron!

[@Muzicman2112]

The dragon cries sounds very good live!! Thanks for sharing!

[@BMfansince2020]

God sounded so good and Saiki is so into it!!!!! I watched this video more than 5 times in repeat!! Thank you so much for uploading!

[@fernandoloya6325]

Thank you I have been searching for a live version of TDC like forever and this is awesome ,and I just subed to your channel cheers Ron🎉

[@kiyoneg1580]

This is the revival of hard rock. Singing and playing is perfect. thanks for the great video.

[@GstarYen]

3:51 this part is so good!

[@JuanSan66]

I love that they played this song especially in NY. Great video Ron!

[@michaelmiller3842]

This absolutely KILLS LIVE ! I hope they see that and continue to perform it in future servings.

[@ThouDailyBlab]

Great song...great to see it out and about!

BEST FANCAM AWARD of the US tour so far IMO Thank you !

[@linel6797]

J'ADORE cette chanson,,et surtout BAND MAID qui font partie des plus grands du hard Rock maintenant YESS🎸✨ elles ont réussies plus rien à prouver !!

[@Riel93]

Not a big fan of the song, but damn this video is making me like the song

[@jugamath]

I'm so happy I got to see this live last night! Thanks Ron for a great recording of it. Speechless!

Many2 thanks for uploading the whole thing… the mix and your fancam darn good…🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

[@theohof2204]

Grossartig! ... endlich *The Dragon Cries* live - fantastischer song en fantastisch gespielt.

[@nhy3543]

One of the best one throughout the tour. Excellent vocals and sounds I really like it.

[@jakeimhotep4866]

Oh hell yeah!! Take that, Champ of Medium 😉🤘✌

[@geraldz2271]

Great quality/sound - just amazing how good this is live. You are one of my fav fancammers (I think that's a word)!🤣

[@4freki]

Was there last night on the balcony near the mixing board. Absolutely the best concert I have ever been to by far. A dream would be to have Nemophila open for Band Maid. 😍❤️🇨🇦

[@SocialNetwooky]

People who never experienced them live often don't believe me when I say that the one Band Maid concert I was privileged to be at ranks amongst the top 5 of all concerts I've been to in 35 or so years of concert going. The sheer joy of performing and the energy on stage, coupled with their obvious musical talent, all the between-sets antics and of course the impeccable discography is really unmatched.

[@mr559]

Band-Maid and Nemophila deserves their one man show. I would love to see them tour around the same time.

[@4freki]

@@mr559 , fair enough

[@ChrisWMF]

the sound in this video is really good. thanks

[@michaelpearce6284]

Seeing them in Boston tonite!

BRAVO elles gèrent en direct c'est génial merci BAND MAID ❤️😍❤️😍

[@akashisan96]

Killer performance!!

[@GaryAa56]

Yeah!

[@jerremylazy]

3:50 starting around there vocals so delish this is what you get when a band "former" vocalist commit guitar it's hard to be on point in harmony while playing sick riffs and live you need focus and control the adrenaline... i just can't imagine myself doing that. bad english, sorry. and thank you for the videos.

[@SeanMeal]

I really wish they would have have played this when they were in Phoenix. Oh well this is close I'll get to see it. Thanks for the awesome video

[@lovette1613]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful stuff. Good sound quality!!
