BAND-MAID - Dice & Hate? at Lollapalooza 2023, with optimized audio

It's no secret anymore, the maids were on fire at Lollapalooza 2023. Especially when they played Dice and directly went into Hate?, with its incredible bass/guitar duel.
But the audio level and dynamics were a bit on the weak side (the mix was great though), so I tried to optimized it a little.

For anyone who thought that rock was dead - allow me to present Exhibit A! This is how it's done kids!!

I keep watching this over and over again. So awesome!! Love this band. Oh, and I'm 63.

[homeontherange]

this is truly unbelievable. I thought I was done with rock music, seen it all at my age. Now I watch every video of them I can find every day. This might be like what hearing for the first time is like.

[ngrand]

Pretty damn good... real rock (but nothing simple about these songs) music is a blessing to behold and they have lashings of it

[glas.guy]

Help me, I can't stop watching this.❤❤❤

Can confirm, after seeing them in Portland roughly two weeks after this (where they also played these songs during their set): this is the best live rock band I’ve ever seen. 🤘🔥❤️🇯🇵

[palominokid]

I’m confident this incredible performance will stand along side some of the all time great rock n' roll moments in history !

5:23 Akane drops a stick.
I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often considering how she wails on the drums.

Band-Maid has always been at a different level: they're always upping their game, continuously working out how they can improve their Okyu-ji, and their stringing 'Dice' into 'Hate? and inserting a MISA / Kanami bass / guitar duel into it was pure high energy genius. When repeated later in the tour Miku & Saiki were horsing around with Akane during the duel. They know how to have fun and they let the audience in on the joke.

8:02 I love when I see that little smile on Kanami's face. You can tell she is in the zone and nailing it. All those years of hard work are paying off for her in that moment. It's her brilliance shining.

The act up before them was a DJ. The camera guys were like, "Ok just park the cameras on this guy and lets go get a bite to eat." Then Band Maid comes on and the camera guys are like "Crap, solos! Quick get on the guitar player! Wait, it's the other guitar! No, it's the bass! Aww to hell with it. Just get on the drummer. She's killing it too!"

The video director liked Miku Kobato and her Flappy Pigeon, and what's not to love? That's a great shot of Miku flawlessly playing the descending chords leading into her primal scream in Hate?.

[namenotimportant]

This is a performance that will never be forgotten

[paddyofurniture]

Great shots of Mincho mode, what an amazing instrumental break on Hate, my favorite song ( well for now- it changes by the minute ). Saiki has morphed into the best frontperson, man she has really " Just Brought It", she is mesmerizing. Miku, always with her great vocals and energy, now she is a very good rhythm guitarist, adds so much to the overall mix, they are a true five piece band.
Akane, Misa, and Kanami I have no more words, I have run out of superlatives, they are simply the very best at their positions ( Kanami as lead guitar AND music creator/director, taken together ).
I'll wager there was no one else at Lollapalooza with as hot a set as BM they are "Flying High" right now coming into their own.
Remember, ladies, World Domination wasn't built in a day.

[dontyou]

Never get tired of watching BM's live!!!🤘

[thomasr.]

Fuck! These girls so damn rock! 🤘🏻😘
Props to the entire Nippon Metal Scene!

Saiki's smile, Saiki's smile!! Oh my god, OH MY GOD!!!! 🥰😍😘
