just got back home from the show this was my first time seeing lana live im still in awe! i usually don’t get starstruck but i couldn’t believe she was real! she looked like a wax doll almost- so utterly beautiful! the vocals were incredible tonight too! she forgot the lyrics a few times which was so cute ocean blvd was such a highlight tonight i couldn’t stop screaming im so happy

It's clear "Ocean Blvd" is such a meaningful song to her. Almost like "Ride" still means a lot to her after all these years 🖤

Chris Willman's brief review left me crying . . . so elegant and understated . . . It is a summary of how the fans feel. At least the older ones, like me. I looked up Chris Willman on twitter, and he is not just out of college. This review is finer than any AOTY award. So beautifully expressed, what is in this Lana stan's heart from start "There's dynamite in this tunnel" to finish: "Lana Del Rey, accused for so long of striking a pose, may ironically have established herself as the most naked, least affected pop superstar we have right now": If the mods want to place this post in the Ocean Blvd Post Release thread, I can appreciate that. But this summary captures Ocean Blvd album so well, I thought it deserves its own topic . . . Let me quote "Is this her masterpiece to date? It might be."

Very glad I was able to attend last night, the concert was beautiful. Despite being as far away from the stage as possible in the arena regarding sections, I had center-stage seats which I wasn't expecting. The emotion felt during Ocean Blvd's outro was insane... Cherry outro too was another highlight but the setlist was consistently hit after hit (if we take out Bartender) and I'm just so happy I got to see Chemtrails live too My only gripe is she didn't do West Coast! I still remember the 15 seconds of deafening screams that filled the entire arena, it was really endearing when Lana said she'd take that with her & whenever she would have a bad day she would think of that moment etc. I think her constant gratitude (and the amazing crowd) really elevated the show and made it all the more heartwarming.

Virus. Lana said that? Couldn't make out. Noticed that on a tweet #4 video . . . Scrolling the comments trying to find out. Me, niether. I couldn't wait! finally a clear audio . . . Thanx, @heavenisatunnel wish it is the whole song. This is the one I found, starting with new lyrics, but I had to listen to the tiktok to find out what Lana is singing new lyrics. What a moment! That was amazing! Thanx for the nice afternoon catching up on posts about the nl live . . . I was working baking a healthy banana bread for my client, so I caught up while it was in the oven 50 minutes . . . Thanx, @Elle for the HQ photos.

da fuck is this watermarking

That performance of ocean blvd was stunning, how she tears up and she can see how much she’s adored by everyone, is so wonderful to see. I hope this is giving her love for the tour life again

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL 😭

Ugly crying watching the Ocean Boulevard outro waiting for my frijoles and chicharrones to be done

my god this performance was amazing

Earlier today, Lana Del Rey stopped to sign some autographs after arriving in Dublin, Ireland. She will be performing at Dublin’s 3Arena this Friday.

can these resellers AT LEAST post a picture like a normal person cause wtf is this

she loved using random stage names and throwing around random song titles and naming files in quirky ways... like it's not that serious... remember when she was in that one youtube uploads comments talking about trash magic "God. I forgot that. I don't know if i changed the name- i think i called it Trash Magic in my notebook, but also miss america. I was staying at the sunset motel in new jersey off and on every other couple of weeks. I decorated it with tinsel from the duane reade up the street and wrote this song.. It still makes me happy." some songs like oooh baby and i don't wanna go has like 3 titles she was just using for no reason... so i'm sure little girls and trash are just as legit

Guardian, Legends, I Pray 4 Rain, Always Ready and All To Myself could be a cute 5 track ep if she finished the songs properly

Can’t imagine being there. What a life changing performance. I love her so much

that 2018 droplets era looks familiar 👀

I’m sure someone has already said this but I wonder if that Ocean Blvd performance is similar to the longer demo, I’m guessing the demo just has an extended outro

i was there that ocean blvd outro was the serviest & cuntiest shit on earth i literally cannot i hope someone made a good recording cause i was shaking and crying so bad and there were like 2 minutes of guttural screams from the entire crowd after summertime sadness like i seriously need hearing aids but she said she would always take that cheering with her whenever she was feeling down and she repeated it later on it was so sweet and she was so sweet about everyone putting their lights up during arcadia i really think we made her feel all the love

Lol the US store finally sending their emails about the delay in the nude vinyl.... just to say its coming in two days like, where were you the past few months Also, someone needs to ask Jessie if the vinyl has Judah Smith Interlude on it or not... we need answers

Washing my hair Doing the laundry Waiting for the Frijoles and chicharrones to be done When we were in country cluuhuuubs

tommy’s latest insta post making a new mixed backing track for peppers.. peppers live??!

so proud to be her fan for this entire decade beautiful words about her work indeed, hope she read them

OKAY GIRLIES I was there (like 4th row golden circle) and here's my mini review: Ya'll who have never seen her live think she's beautiful, but she is fucking STUNNING in real life. Holy shit. I almost came right then and there. The audience was annoying as all hell, there was mini fights all around me and people being annoyed that there are tall people in the crowd (me lmfao). I could barely hear Lana over the insane screaming of the crowd. You can hear Lana much much better playing back video than you could in the venue. It was just static noise at one point. My ears are still ringing. On the plus side: Mother did thank us for our enthusiasm and appreciated singing with her . When the crowd quiets down and you can hear her: her voice is fucking gorgeous. It's 'stronger' than I thought it would be live, and less reliant on backing vocals or a support track. Literal perfection. I'm sad she didn't interact with the audience more and we didn't get an extra song, but I would 100000% go again. Only I will book premium seats instead of golden circle, think the sound would be less overwhelming there and goddamn do my feet still hurt. I'm also sad I'm probably gonna have to wait a long time to see her live again. I NEED MORE

I think Lana lays her soul bare like no other artist I’ve heard. Pain, euphoria, tragedy, all bound by enchanting poetry and wrapped in the most captivating vocals I could imagine 🙏♥️🤩.

From earlier in the day still in Amsterdam before leaving for Dublin at Zipper Vintage Clothing -

no wait you're a genius Mine is Carmen: "Cause her liquor's top shelf" Top shelf is a liquor brand. It's also north american slang for "good quality." But I alwyas interpreted this line as being about her parents putting the liquor on the highest shelf so she wouldn't be able to reach it, and this line always evoked an image of a precocious little girl on her tippy toes reaching for a bottle of her dad's whiskey

not really she doesnt really sell anything signed unless it’s a print. it’s too difficult for distribution and shipping so it doesnt really make it worth their while i think the poster just meant they were happy to have the first copy signed in person as people will probably have her sign it when they meet her

She said after singing The Grants ”I’m gonna take that with me…I don’t even know what to say… I’ll remember that in the bad days I have”

Can we please talk about this game?

@Strangelove you really fascinate me

"I wanna be software" imagine how tired we are fingers crossed it won't suck

My lighter finally arrived!!! Family pic <3 as you can see it doesn’t have scratches except for the part where it opens, although I have to say it feels cheap I fear it might break any moment ugh

This is what I an scared of as I’m not planning on going that early lol But I can totally see her going up during FJM’s slot to sing Buddy Randezvous

the one on the inner sleeve lmfao (don’t ask me his name tho I’ve lost count of who she has been dating these past years)

does this mean signed vinyls r going to be sold orr

I LOVE HER SO MUCH

From Marina's Instagram stories: She keeps teasing with the Cherry aesthetic in the first photo, she has already teased for a long time with her cherry patterned dress (like Lana wore also a cherry patterned dress in Amsterdam). But in the second photo, she tagged Ben H Berger (who also dates her friend Sadie Newman), who is a member of a songwriting, record production and remix group Captain Cuts, who has worked with Marina and they co-wrote and co-produced songs like Lonely Hearts Club, Superstar, Karma and About Love and an unreleased song from Love + Fear era called What I Wanna Do. Is it a possible hint for a new collaboration on her new album?

Lana is pure poetry. Her expression is breathless. I love the way she pronounces every phrase that falls from her delicate mouth ♥️. A real incarnation of beauty.

I still remember how shocked I was with how perfect Immortal is, haunting song and music video, such a gem. It kinda feels like a good bye to Marina & the Diamonds. What a trilogy, what a ride.

Backstage

A tornado during cocc would be such a vibe though

The way her signature never looks the same always making me question every signed thing I have

I will never forget this night full os stars in Amsterdam Thank you my friends for singing Don’t Forget Me for so long to keep me grounded keep me calm Just some ad libs till the dawn thank you dont forget me but I have a feeling that after tonight maybe u won’t. - so fckn beautiful

i don't think so, but who knows, i feel like if there was a way to find some of those missing/mysterious songs from her old myspace or even old youtube videos, people would've found a way by now, people tried to find the still-missing performance of pin up galore at the mercury lounge, but there was no way to get it back we're lucky people were able to find some of the thumbnails and screencaps from some of the missing live performances, i believe they used some sort of tool from google but i don't think it exists anymore, we still have some of the URLs of the missing videos, some of the links are in this post, and i'm pretty sure there's more scattered throughout the forum

I'm glad she's performing the title track so well it would have been a shame not to have a performance on top of not having a MV for it

I literally cannot tell a difference
