BAND-MAID ICONIC POWER TRIO 'Don't You Tell Me' Live | Multi-Instrumentalist Reaction + Breakdown 

POUND LIKE for more BAND-MAID! Thank you so much for the request Rabbi Rabbs! I appreciate you!

That's why Jimmy Page said Akane was the reincarnation of John Bonham!

いやーカッコいいですね。歌波とミサの掛け合いは見どころですが何よりあの場を仕切っているのは実は茜という😃😃😃そこを抑えて再度見ると一層茜がカッコ良く見えますねー！Akane is a best drummer! Sooo cool‼︎

The words that SAIKI said in Japanese at the beginning... "Sa, ZEPP no koe wa madamada dekaku naru kana ?"　　「さあ、ZEPPの声はまだまだデカくなるかな？」 ( Now, can you give more aggressive cheers to us ? ) "Kakatte kinasai !" 　「かかってきなさい！」 ( Just bring it ! )

Why do I love Band-Maid ? Here's the answer. Not only the skills which many musicians can play, but also the creative, feeling and emotional match only Band-Maid now.

Thanks Rabbi and Wave! Band-Maid in the 2024 Rock Olympics. Gold!

Akane's slow rolls and fills during the combined was superb. She filled the space subtlely and did not overpower the work of Kanami and MISA.

Kamami’s power stances and body language onstage are already enough for me to be her fan for life, add in that workaholic genius and eccentric personality, and I’m pretty much obsessively doomed to my grave and beyond 😅

Totally agree, Bandmaid Prime is great. Not only do they have those awesome full concerts, but also the videos focusing on each individual playing her part in a ton of songs.

Akane's drum beat during the solos is primal... complete with a heart beat! A perfect match up with MISA and Kanami!

7:39 did not mention *Kanami* the *Angus Young* stands point one finger in the air. 😁 😁 😁

6:20 "Oh, my. . . " And WP was held captivated and speechless all the way to 7:42 Such is the potency of the Power Trio.

They're my favorite modern day rock band, too. 5 musical geniuses that look like goddesses. What more could you want or need?

What I love about you saying Miku is no entry level guitarist, is that she didn’t learn to play until a year after she formed the band.

MISA MISA MISA! you should get a lot of love for this re-action/review as the most common complaint is nobody pays attention to what A-chan is doing during the instrumental conversation you not only noticed you admired

OMG my fave song. Akane might do 220bpm on "Black Hole" but she did 250bpm on her chest in full gorilla mode when she heard MISA & Kanami's Bass/Lead conversation :)

That backtrack harmonizing is actually Miku Live doing low pitch voice. She does it in almost every song. Sometimes you think you're not hearing her but she's harmonizing with her Low pitch. And very good at it. As Saiki said " Pigeon, knows many talents and tricks

And at 12:51 Kanami taking the time to interact with Akane after all that 😍

If this doesn't make you miss live music, then nothing will. The definitive version of this song IMO.

You having them as your favorite band currently is a safe choice. Their whole catalog is consistently solid. 🔥🤘🎀

That climbing crescendo of Akane during the bass-guitar dialog is absolutely outstanding.

I love your reactions/breakdowns you notice so much not noticed by others. you are one of the only reactors to this version by noticing the importance of Akane during the battle. her drumming there made me think of Nick Mason of Pink Floyd who supported Waters, Gilmour in similar fashion during many solos. that segment to me is one of the great moments in rock live performances. Now for fun check out the MV of Don't You Tell ME for the fun-ness of it, it covers all the Band-Maid quirks Saiki's aloofness, Kanami swooning for Saiki, Akane eating everything in sight, MISA drinking and the mischievous nature of our pigeon queen Miku. plus the rock stereotype of trashing the place. they cover it all lol

Sometimes, i imagine myself in the crowd during this unique moment of perfection. Sometimes i dream to stand in front of Kanami sensei, this shy and humble girl on the life, and see her transforming into a rock Monster, delivering badass riffs and gorgeous solos. For me this song, and particulary the part with Misa responding to Mincho guitare (with the essential support of Akane) is a delight for each rock lover in this crazy world. Theses girls deserve Rock and roll All of Fame one Day. Peace and thank you for your work 💖

The best part of this reaction is the 5 minutes where you have no idea what's about to happen ;) hehe

Another fantastic breakdown! I loved the way you talked about Kanami's choice of notes at 3:21. As a non-musician I couldn't have explained it, but that kind of thing is a big part of why I love the band so much. Their songs are just packed full of brilliant, unexpected moments like this.

I am so glad you got to do this version of don't you tell me! When do you ever see that happen in music these days. So incredible! Awesome reaction Wave!!!!

Thank you for pointing out Akane"s drumming. It adds so much to the atmosphere. Kanami in full rock goddess mode.

Yes, I still well up when everyones hands raise after the battle. Never fails. The triumvirate is soooooo great, sometimes it defies reality. The attributes of this band are unequaled. The synergy and uniqueness, the transitions/breakdowns, the riffs, the power, the rhythm section, the harmonies, the vocals just flow perfectly and smoothly, and always a fun vibe. They do not fail. Ever. Peace.

OMG ! Congratulations on watching the call and response without pausing !! and yes Akane's drumming during this part is superb and so well thought out. Looks like Kanami and Misa both go to her afterwards to say thanks maybe ? The Zepp Tokyo concert is still my favourite and I know how much trouble you had to go to to edit this from that so you sir are now a true Maidiac !!

This instrumental breakdown has been my absolute favorite thing from Band-Maid for quite some time now.

KANAMI's favorite guitar player is Carlos Santana. She hopes to meet him someday. KANAMI is the one who plays the synth on the back tracks.

For the 2018 World Domination Tour in November (USA and Europe), Kanami ramped up the difficulty a bit for the middle section, and MISA bravely kept up, as documented on several fancams.

That interlude….. what a statement. Thanks Rabbs, been asking for this for two weeks!!

It's worth watching the official MV for this on their site, even if not as a reaction. Not only is it a really interesting MV with a bit of a story to it, but it's perhaps the only one that really shows the distincitive personalities of each member. It doesn't have the back and forth solos though. That was just something added for one tour. They mix things up and add new intros and extended pieces for a number of songs on each tour. There is a similar back and forth at a live performance of "Take Me Higher", but that clip is sadly also difficult to find.

Wave, Yes - the trio of Akane, Misa & Kanami are exceptional. I can’t say enough about their talents as they share so many characteristics with my musical heroes like Lee, Lifeson & Peart - the Holy Triumvirate, Rush - and even with Bonham, Jones & Page. They are truly fabulous AND only getting better as the continue growing together. Love it!! 🤘🏼

Try playing MISA’s bass part during the duel. I dare you. LOL

This is a much overlooked track review wise. I haven't seen it for ages and forgotten how good it was. There are a few versions , but this awesome gtr/bass battle is the best one by far. And Akane does genius time changes throughout the song to give it the dynamics it requires to open up as you said. Such a wonderful live band. There is a lot of bands chasing this level , but no one is getting close .

"Power trio", yes, definitely! I always thought A-chan's drum sounds made the Mincho-MISA duel twice more awesome😍

Holy crap! You didn’t talk at all during the duel. That’s got to be a first.

Wave. "Take Me Higher" live has a similarly awesome Kanami/MISA Lead & bass conversation. I demand that you find it, but only if you want to :)

Great reaction to a great song by these super talented fun loving ladies!👍❤❤❤❤❤😉

This is one of my favorite live videos ever! So Awesome!!

Eargasm.........🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

This is a video of the girls at their training camp for the 2019 tour. You can see how serious Kanami is, how Akane gives her drum names and having just General fun ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eNl9LsIquAI.html

Le Band Maid sono un gruppo pazzesco!!!!Akane,Misa e Kanami formano un trio sensazionale,non ci sono dubbi...

I call Akane's drumming during the power trio "atmospheric drumming".

Love this song. Thank you for reacting to this video.

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!!! 🥃🥃🥃 my all time #1 version Band-Maid song. The "conversation " between Misa and Kanami is awesome with Kanami moving those 2 along. I was so fortunate to see this Live here in LA at the Lodge. Many of us were disappointed the next year when B-M played this song and the "conversation " did not happen. But that was the Maids keep their concerts different. 🙂

What immediately excited me was the soundscape created by the strings. It makes everything seem to float.

The chorus on this song is one of my favorites in their entire catalog. I love this song. :)

I can tell Wave is a big fan of Kanami aka “Mincho” 🙂

You've got to do Turn Me On, they play it right before this song. It's an incredible performance with some nice instrumentals too. Also if you can find Take Me Higher live performance, that one is amazing too.

This is my most favorite live show from Band-Maid. I hope in the future, they can do more calls and responses like this

Well, I think 'battle of the goddesses' is an excellent description for this performance. And thank you for mentioning Akane during the duel, because for me she is very much a part of this battle as well. 🤘🏻🔥 【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 】🕊️

On your comments about Miku's playing ability, how much do you think that can be attributed to learning from Kanami to play that specifically? Instead of most people, that start picking up guitar to play cool leads and solos, Miku went straight to rhythm

Now you know why that "power stance" of Misa and Kanami is my phone lock screen. 😃

WAVE--what a cool reaction to this tour de force version of the song! And I've noticed what a springboard for discussion this thread is for us Maidiacs! Your analysis is spot on, good point on Miku's rhythm guitar skills, I'm a guitarist myself and yes, she's got to be focused to play her parts in these compositions. Lots of intricate changes and yeah, those rests! And Kanami, all of those different parts that she plays, the muted arpeggios are so effective on this. She rarely takes any time off, has to be one of the hardest working guitarists around-and alot of these fills and parts can be difficult. I, too, marvel at the precision she plays with, all those glissando slides on parts, I remember thinking on a different song, wow, she could make this section alot easier for herself if she didn't do that, but then it wouldn't have the effect musically that she's looking for. Good point on the halftime section in the chorus, it IS awesome, they do that kind of thing so much. Positively brilliant. And another thing I love about Kanami is how in between her incendiary blitzing single line tremolo and hammer on riffs she'll throw in that raucous early 70's dirty double stop bend ala Chuck Berry and grind on it! Anyway, appreciate your reaction, I tend to not analyze them too much and let their musical excellence blow through me but it's cool to hear some. But I didn't even mention MISA MISA and Akane, I could wax poetic about them for days but won't--the best rhythm section working today? -----I think so! Cheers!

Band Maid makes everything better.

It's been a while since I've seen this! I love that middle part so much!

More attention should be given to Akane's drum fills in the back, providing good musical accompaniment without clashing and standing out to the bass and guitar, but also not being just a repetitive "Rythm machine". Although her contribution is very important, she keeps it discreet that normally you won't notice her. If it was another typical rock band, the drummer would be also demanding a drum solo in the song. Another thing about the dual solo is that it's not a "noodling show off" of egos, but more an extension of the song creating a unique mood and atmosphere at a live show.

My absolute favorite Band-Maid performance ever! Epic!!!

It NEVER ENDS with these girls.

Man, i love your reactions. So instructional & informative for us 'non musos'.

12:51 That rest there was followed up by a HUGE crashing sound effect, it creates massive impact. It must be crazy to listen to live.

Great Job Wave! Your reaction videos have always been good but they are also improving. You have found a level of great comfort in the format(s) and style(s) that you have progressed into, which makes you more relaxed and less nervous. Also your continually growing amazement to the new music you have, and are, discovering comes across in your honest and sincere reactions. You are a BA Reactionist/Reactor!

Careful Wave. I think you forgot to breathe there for a minute😜

Oh man... because of the way the request was titled (which I understand now), I wasn't sure if it was going to be the performance from Zepp... but I'm so glad it was. This performance of this song is mind-blowingly awesome. In the concert, this song is immediately followed by Daydreaming. :P I can't wait until you get enough reactions under your belt so that you can actually watch a concert. Good job as always.

Your stunned expression said it all. I don't know any band since Rush that would even try this sort of thing. This used to be up on youtube, too bad it isn't there any more.

What impress me is that in my opinion the trio's intrumental breakdown was improvised so that Saiki could recover her voice a bit. poor Saiki needed a break for sure.

At 13:20 Potter missed the china bomb.

Alguien más extraña la antigua voz antigua de Saiki ??? :''''3

Check out the props MISA and Kanami give Akane after their "duel". It goes by really fast but there is a quick shot from behind Achi of both girls giving her some love. Thank you for giving her some attention as many reactors only see the two guitarist and fail to hear Achi's set ups. And thank you for holding a torch for these brilliant girls. I hope some day they are able to personally thank you for all you do for them.

I'm late to the party here, stumbled upon this...from 6:15 to 7:40, this is PURE GOLD! I played it at least 50 times already....and does anyone know where I can find some pics of 7:40? Thanks.

Love the song, love the review and comments. True, true, they are all genius in what they are doing in service to the song and the band. It's hard to stay with a "favorite" in the band because each member will shine at any time in any song and it always works. Especially now that they are totally in charge of their own music.

This song live is amazing.

Excellent!

Hi from the UK 🇬🇧check out Band maid play live world domination tour 2020 you'll have a band maidgasam 😆

This is an amazing reaction!! Still waiting for you to react to Moratorium and Puzzle (live and acoustic). 😊

What I love about those sudden ending is that you always hear the snare fading away. Also, that was an epic call and response solo between MISA and Kanami with the perfectly placed magical drum fills of Akane.

Wave! Wave! WAVE! Snap out of it, buddy. Here's a tissue for that drool when Kanami and MISA zombified you.

Speaking of power trios, let these 3 young ladies blow you mind. 【Accént】"Don't you tell ME" [BAND-MAID cover] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BbEYc2yY2s4.html [Fumi, @10: Drums] [Canon, @11: Guitar] [Haru, @10: Bass]

Epic!

Ah...the long lost live version! Badass.....!

mincho-zilla channeled her inner gary moore and alex lifeson in this epic performance.

Miku is definitely my fave. Look at the MV for Thrill. She was just a very kawaii guitar stand. Now she can play rhythm quite competently and it just a matter of time until she is shredding. Kanami is her teacher and I could not think of a better one for her. Thank you for your insights.

I really appreciate your ability to hear what the musicians are doing. You frequently mention triplet fills and no matter how hard I try I can't pick it up during a performance. I did a search on triplet fills so I sort of know what's going on but can you explain what's happening with triplets and quadruples. So, please, keep on identifying the techniques the drummer using and maybe roll back to focus on just the bit we should hear. Does this makes sense? I'm kind of babbling.

How can you ignore MISA’s spectacular bass during the duel? Kind of pissed me off.

To me, the power trio portion of the song was reminiscent of Pink Floyd.

I recommend Heartless Scat by Ningen Isu.

I don't think Miku has a problem with the song structure, pretty simple for her actually, especially when Kanami is your Sensei.

The question is, if you didn't tell people it wasn't on youtube, would anybody know? (other than not being able to find it)

7:32 Waves melt face...

😮Carlos Santana =Kanami riffs and licks awesome❤

I thought this live video was taken down by them....about 2-3 month ago.... :)

You gotta send the link to Ryan Mear...

Behind the Ice queen, there's the demon king's maid, and behind them are the 3 beasts,

Miku has never played one note on any CD released to date. That has all been done by Kanami. Miku has been strumming chords live for sometime now. But as yet not on any recording. With the exception of the instrumental versions released with the premium CD package of Unseen World. Those are the very first recordings of Miku playing. With the next CD you will hear Miku for the very first time prerecorded.

Ahhhh! Davie504 "could not find a better video" than just very simple MISA's moment from a US fancam! Wave, you have to point him to something real 🤦‍♂️

That's not the backing track, it's Kobato's "voice from the deep".

Wave please help me out. This is one of several Band Maid songs where the original video has been blocked due to copyright. Are these all on the Live at Zepp blueray recording that sells for >> $200? Can you tell me any more about it? Thanks!
