Luv this song. "Matchless Gum" from the same concert is a MUST. Just another example of Kanami goin off in her own little world with a crazy solo that doesn't fit but fits perfect. She's a genius.

@2:43 It feels like somethings about to happen, but it's just forshadowing @4:29 this is the real deal, and you're ready for it. The drum roll into the solo, and one of Mincho's best, into the last chorus, and Mincho's bonus outro solo that's, like you said, smooth like butter. What a great rock song and what a great performance!

Back for more. I did enjoy this one. A deep cut that has been off my radar, unfortunately. Back on, thanks to you! Not as “catchy” or straightforward as many of Band Maid’s songs, which is probably why it doesn’t get as much traction outside of hardcore fans. But holy crap. What a creative song! Like you said, the groove is deep in the beginning. I could put that on a loop and jam over it for days. And then there’s Kanami’s four note motif, a little bit R&B, a little bit rock and roll? Then a wild punk rock, Police/Blondie segment…what’s happening? Finishing up with the original chord structure and Kanami delivers in her signature style. A completely different type of solo from what we hear on rock records. If you didn’t know she’s inspired by Larry Carlton and Carlos Santana before, you probably do now. 😊 Thanks for sharing the Maids with everyone today 🤘🏽

@@lurkmerchant I think they’ve been getting better at recording closer to her live energy as time has gone on, like she sounds great on the Unleash EP and Shambles. Live, there’s a spectrum. It seems to take a few songs for her voice to fully warm up, and at the end of a long set, she can wear down. But she sounds totally in the zone here, and her voice sounds exceptionally warm, like you’re getting a hug from her voice.

Ahhh, and a rare glimpse of MIKA finger picking. I'll have to watch this again to see if MISA used fingers this entire show.....it has been a while since I've watched it.
