Me planning the conversation in my head if I were to meet Lana "I'm gonna ask about DNC, unreleased album, A.K.A. rerelase, LB username and if she is behind the scat attacks" Me in real life when I meet Lana:

Okay, you really all do need to stop being rude towards other fans. I’m serious. How would you like it if you had a special moment with Lana and then strangers online made fun of you for it? It’s clear that Lana appreciated their interaction just as much as the fan, so it should just be left at that. Nothing good comes out of making fun of strangers online.. it’s just weird behaviour x

The connoisseur is happy to come across this live soundcheck. It is as though Lana recorded it specially for her fans! You experts can tell me which songs are represented!

From this to this

Wow that for k sound check… imagine how things could have been

These shows have been amazing for showcasing her improvisational talent, you can tell this is her 'thing' at the moment and I hope her next album is heavy on the jazzy stylings and I hope she uses the melody and chords from this sound check for a new song because Omfg

the crowd was MASSIVE

Earlier today, Lana Del Rey stopped into a Starbucks in Birmingham, Alabama.

This is at my friend's work and Lana stopped in and chatted with her coworkers. My friend unfortunately wasn't working today, which she's pretty gutted about, but this is so random!! They didn't ask why she was there, but I'm so curious.. she was literally in Quebec less than 24 hours ago. Birmingham is only 2 hours away from me here in Atlanta, so I'm manifesting she announces a surprise performance or something since she has two weeks until her next show in RI. When she went to Paris, France and then Birmingham, Alabama in the span of a week... Paris, Texas alt version when??? Anyway, stream PT & I Talk to Jesus xx EDIT: My friend just informed me that she ordered a venti London fog with oat milk and one pump of vanilla! I will be ordering this on my next Starbies run xx

got bored last night and wanted to play with the blobs

That's because she's recently been listening to the new masters of AKA for its re-release in September

Omg this sound check… this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard WHAT IS ITTTT!!! Arcadia / NFR / Black Beauty / For K Part 2 mashup with new melodies… I’m deceased

Big screens are nice!

A dark Jazz album next!

HELP ME

neeeed her to make that souncheck mashup into an actual song it sounded so good

rip

the soundcheck ate the actual show

She looked so beautiful there. Just very amazing look - a stunning white dress, gorgeous hair. She looked like an angel there, or a fairy or Aphrodite. One of her best looks this tour for sure! The vocals were just brilliant. Her vocals this tour have been so strong. The best part of this tour are definitely her vocals. At this point I don't care even about the setlist anymore, I know she won't change it anymore but the songs there are still close to my heart and her vocals still shine very beautifully there. Just incredible vocals. She killed every critic with the vocals who said in her early breakthrough years that she can't sing. Now, I'm so happy that she's getting rave reviews and critical acclaim in general for her shows. She definitely deserves that! I'm starting to like the dancers there too. They're really nice and supportive to Lana and if Lana feels comfortable with them, I'll let her be. The choreo for Chemtrails Over The Country Club is my favorite, it's so wonderful, somehow it reminds me of the music video but I don't know how and why. But there is that element that reminds me of that. Her band was amazing too, I have always loved her band. I am sad that she didn't play For K, Part 2 live but I'm glad that someone recorded the soundcheck because thag mashup between Arcadia, Norman Fucking Rockwell, Black Beauty and For K, Part 2 was just genius. What a great combination of songs and of course great vocals. I'm surprised and very happy that she still remembers the lyrics for For K, Part 2 because after she wrote/recorded that song, she has written like million more songs. She should do more mashups in her live shows, so she could fit more songs in the setlist! Overall, it was a perfect show in my opinion. I even kind of loved it more than the European shows, but I don't know why. Although, I think that my favorite show of her tour so far is the Rio De Janeiro one! Still this tour has been incredible, especially with her vocals! Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

OMG 😳 IM SCREAMING There’s something really cool about this. And the fact that she remembers lyrics from For K is sending meeeee

SHE GOES BACK TO ALABAMA

But it really is insane, like AKA was recorded in 2008, it's crazy to hear a reference to it so long after

It’s like so insane to me when Lana remembers old/unreleased songs like I forget she wrote them😭

Someone asked what her perfume was she said it was a Hermès sample she got in Paris

wild how she forgets 90% of Salvatore but remembers For K from basically 2008-2009

so obsessed w this look, maybe my fav so far!

some BTS:

For K Part 2 - 2023 Version I like the way you wear you sweater off your shoulder The way you walk outside makes you look older (?) [Idk what she's saying] Oooh-oooh I like the way you walk I like the way you talk [Idk what she's saying] I, how'd you get so handsome, my boy? Pretty baby Pretty baby Pretty baby (Ok, just match this one for Pretty Baby) Pretty baby, duh-uh Pretty baby

Sometimes she raps too, she’s a white girl but the world is her oyster and she’s a little pearl yup

never thought an Arcadia/NFR/Black Beauty/For K medley would be a want, never mind a NEED that soundcheck was so gorgeous helpppppp

The sound check is so mind blowing it makes her actual shows seem like utter shit oh my god. The things I would do to hear a medley of Arcadia, NFR, black beauty, for k pt 2…

We definitely locked eyes and I got weirdly emotional through the Ride monologue

oh mother was feeling herself here…. the way she screams “fuckin up BIG TIME” the crowd for this was so insane

stream For K Part 2

The second gif has me dyinggg I meant that the sped up vid was funny. Stop liking this as if it was supposed to be malicious.

Blown away by the footage Ive been seeing of the Boiler Room set. The background visuals, the new song and plastic, Starfucker title all but basically confirmed. Its really all coming together. When she said this album was going to be “a more elevated version of the mixtape” it becomes so clear with that boiler room set. Like its giving the same hypersexual aesthetics of her first album but a darker more elegant vibe than the neon pink mcbling of the original album. With songs like purr and plastic, erotic electronic, and this new song… mixed with the more ‘mainstream’ Out of Time and Miss Belladonna like yeah its all coming together. She really somehow managed to balance her old music, and a new sound, nostalgic aesthetics, and modern ones. Like all in one. Its crazy! I really just hope she is able to bring this type of visual she showed at Boiler Room more into the album visuals in a music video or something.

BLACK BEAUTY BLACK BEAUTY BLACK BEAUTYYYYY

At this point, I wouldn't mind if she decided to re-record some Lizzy Grant songs and include them on an upcoming album... These soundcheck versions gave me goosebumps. By the way, she NEEDS to include Black Beauty on the setlist.

This is so special

@SoftwareUpgrade's archives will be very valuable in 250 years when the aliens are exploring lanaboards for the first time

most iconic album title in a while tea bee aitch

Paul Thomas who shot the soundcheck came through for the fans also with concert fan cam . . . I needed a good view of Candy Necklace, er, I mean a clear audio. This has it! HOW do Blake, Byron, Lana, et al, keep the music atmospheric in front of a festival audience? Listen how Blake does the subtle notes to compliment Lana's voice. It is like old school jazz, with a small band where the drummer uses brushes and the instruments speak a language the musicians only know, but let the audience in. With recordings this good, it is easy to pick out highlights - which ones did you notice? Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/@HuntPaul333/videos

The bit at the end of her telling the pianist to match For K makes me believe she's planning on performing this whole mashup live/this is more than her just randomly improvising for a soundcheck. Let's hope cause lives Will be changed!

I'm not gonna go on a tangent about how the festival is notoriously messy/thinks the dramatics and mess is apart of the festival's ''experience'', because despite being there at 8 am, and seeing people cutting lines and not respecting decorum, I had a great evening and I think I witnessed one of her best shows. Speaking of the mess, they literally play 'Miserlou' when the gates open and it's funny in a distressing way. Sprinting towards the stage to that song is quite a unique experience: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM2X9k7Px/

She was amazing, she said it was probably her biggest show ever, she sounded pitch perfect, she was radiating. It was the best. But my feet hurt, my lower back hurts, and I can't with GA no more and the way they handled getting into the festival/multiple lines was a mess.
