Band-Maid: “ Thrill” and “Freedom” - Gramercy Theatre - New York City - Sept. 26, 2019

Band-Maid performing “Thrill” and “Freedom” at Gramercy Theatre, New York City, World Domination Tour 2019.

[@erichurst7897]

I don't think I've ever seen band members kneel/sit when a solo kicks in, to let that performer shine.

[@fretbuzzaldrin4965]

I have seen a whole lotta bands live in my 58 years on this planet, but - Frank Zappa '84 aside - I think I can honestly say that I have never seen a band so tight, that rocks so hard, and has the friggin' time of their lives doing it! Cheers, ladies. Hope you come see US again!

[@johnp.johnson1541]

You must have seen the worst "whole lotta" bands that ever came and went.

[@sms95501]

Does humor belong in music? Yes, po!

[@blank557]

Not since Byne's Talking Heads "Stop making Sense" concerts have I too see a band that engages the audience with so much happy enthusiasm.

@@johnp.johnson1541 Band Maid's fanboys are the most ridiculous of all. And the oldest too. 8 D

[@lard1892]

This is not Hard Rock. Pretty decent band but more Top 40 stuff

[@vinofelice]

ニューヨーカーに「かかって来いよ！」は凄すぎるw　どの国でもどんな会場でもブレないのが素晴らしい。

[@scottpollack1007]

BANDMAID is off the charts AWESOME! Never heard a band with more individual and collective talent than BANDMAID! They are INCREDIBLE!

[@markh1085]

For such a young band, their timing, and professionalism is outstanding. What an incredible band. These are not easy songs to play, espadrille they are their own songs. The live performances are of the highest standard

[@yeagermcbipper9008]

lol no. Live they kinda suck. They all just stay in their own area. They sound good, but the performance is very meh. And yes, saw them live. The VIP access also sucked. Good band, but Japanese concerts are very different than Western concerts.

[@markh1085]

Yeager Mcbipper oh for gods sake . Use your damn brain . Get back to watching Justin Beiber

[@aidangebhard4679]

Yeager Mcbipper fuck off

[@markh1085]

Aidan Gebhard education is not your strong point 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣

[@larrydunbar3169]

They are veterans. Been doing it alittle while

[@ronnieguitar99]

They are just flat kicking ass here. We got both kinds of music...Rock and Roll.

3:55 FREEDOM begins...kakatte koi yo! (Bring it On!) 5:58 Akane solo 6:30 Miku & Kanami Kodak moment Thanks for uploading! 👍😎👍

[@EvoLution844]

Saiki is the queen, a goddess, and owns that stage.

[@levonpoe]

BEST BAND IN THE WORLD

[@PaulPaullus]

6:02-> ...so courteous ..so respectful ....so ...so Band-Maid ...........po

[@JerryGoNuts]

I cannot wait to see them in a stadium.

[@michaelpalmer3717]

Considering they show no discernable egos they each have a considerable stage persona and Saiki in particular commands the audience with her imperious right arm and hand gestures ( she is left handed.) Notable too how they gracefully kneel to allow the audience to se Akane's drum solo. They each show one another consideration on stage which is rare amongst rock groups.

[@wmderemer]

5:57 Reminded once again what a freaking BEAST Akane is in that drum kit... I love the show of respect they all gave her by kneeling as they sat out the solo so that Akane would be the center of attention...and Miku's fist-pumping to hype the crowd for her friend & bandmate... I hope they do Freedom at Irving Plaza in October so I have the chance to see Little Miss Badass tear up another solo IN PERSON!!

[@_BAND-MAID_fan]

THRILL!!! Lucky devils! -And 'Freedom' gave so many brilliant moments, too. Thanks, for uploading.

[@wolfenstein6676]

One of the first BAND-MAID songs I ever heard and still one of my favourites, thanks for the upload, Pat :) .

[@chaengdubz8220]

I remember missing this concert… had to resign from my job to start the police academy and had to come in the next day to have my exit interview. Terrible timing, but I won’t miss them this time. Can’t wait for October! 🤟

[@dennisavent1686]

I love this band!

[@losrioscz15]

One word, ENERGY!

[@maleemaverick488]

I like how they all sat down and enjoyed Akane's drum solo... Such a beautiful moment. Feel the Freedom

[@ThePenoyer62]

ROCKS!!!

[@doobiejones9388]

Thanks for the video Phil! Best rock and roll band in the world today!🤟

[@andreclark5464]

They are so bad ass!!!

[@harisurobert8040]

Dチューニングにしてるのか、曲の間でチューニングしてるのが見れてすごいよかったです。ありがとうございます。

[@mckeepa1]

Yes. "Thrill" uses dropped D tuning. When "Trill" is done, you can see both Miku and Kanami tune their string back up to E for "Freedom."

ALL ABOARD!!🚅🚄🚆Next stop! Madison Square Garden 🗽🌄

[@StrikitRich]

Love how at the beginning Miku plays to the crowd while Kanami & MISA just get lost in the playing of the intro.

[@ronnieguitar99]

Sound is pretty good for an audience video. This looks like a fair size place but should have been headlining Madison Square Garden. Bridear could be the warm-up band.

[@michaelmestres9661]

They are like the Beatles on Ed Sullivan...they're older than they look. Total pros...

[@COTTERO]

Really nice vid, thanx for uploading.😊👍

[@kevinlane7555]

Nice video and audio!!!.....Miku IS the party!!!.....

[@ringderniebelung]

4:32 MISA sneaks up on Kanami....SURPRISE! 😜

[@somedude5414]

Ninja Assassins tend to do that.

[@stevenfaul5630]

They really need to go wireless with their equipment. But as far as music goes, they're a great band. And I firmly believe that since I can't understand the words she's singing, it gives me the ability to focus more on her voice. And I like it.

[@zzzthaoster]

Thrill is the band's anthem song.

[@michaels3659]

Awesome video! They have do much fun! And I have to apologize, thats my arm on the left impeding your shot!

[@user-si9xm2uq3s]

You were there on the spot! How lucky! I envy you... Can you tell me your impression of the whole stage, or any interesting happenings?

[@houkin_yankee]

I wish I was there!!!! I planned to go but something came up so I changed my plan 😭😭

[@Pellefication]

Finally I get to hear 'Thrill' live. Useless sound but .... And as a bassist, I wonder how the hell Misa-san does to play with a pick and slap bass at the same time? !!

[@markbaker8255]

She tucks it in her index finger....says in an interview that she only has dropped it once during live show

[@Pellefication]

@@markbaker8255 I've tried it myself.....and drops it every time ;-)

[@reese1203]

2 thumbs up. :)

[@PaulPaullus]

....a good angle on the 'Misa messes with Saiki' incident: 5:30-> Misa 'does something' that causes Saiki at 5:31 to do a double-take 'omgwhatwazthat' reaction and at 5:34 Saiki 'fake decks' Misa for whatever she did...anyways it made Saiki laugh at 5:36 ...blame it on mr. jim beam..or southern comfort....or whatever ......po

[@btsdancestudio5691]

Band-Maid and Rolling Quartz will change your life!

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

I really am surprised that they are still using cables after seeing them get tangled up on stage so many times. I would have thought they would be using wireless at this point in their careers.

Synchronized tuning.

[@user-kl9ou9in8f]

かなみんちょはカルロス・ジョビンが好きなんですね。ギターは同じモデルみたい？作曲のVoライン（マイマン、アイアムサムバディ）やアドリブでも影響を感じます。ぜひ！管楽器やいろいろな音を出せるキーボードを１人加入させて欲しい。ステップアップバンドを期待してしまいます。

[@psul42]

Miku and Saiki need more sensible shoes.

[@williamdejeffrio9701]

These girls are so badass it's not funny...

[@edwardaguirre3643]

The lead guitar is not loud enough and is not correct to the rest of the music.

[@lordgalahad]

Each instrument has its own speaker. The lead guitar is to the far right, and the camera phone is at the left side where the speakers for the bass and lead guitar are placed, of course the camera phone will pick up the one nearest to it.

[@johnp.johnson1541]

*MISA and Akane Cover Up For a Lot of Noise* Someone needs to teach Tōno how to get proper tone from her rig. Her Paul Reed Smith sounds scratchy. That is such a bad tone. Oh and someone needs to teach Miku Kobato how to play guitar. She ought to stop wearing one as a prop. 🤣
