The audio on this recording is fantastic. Her voice is incredible. I can't believe so many people elsewhere were saying she's lost her voice ... where is the voice loss, where Hope is a dangerous thing never fails to make me cry and this performance was really something special, wow

Earlier today, Lana Del Rey met some fans while dining out at The Black Pearl in Newport, Rhode Island.

Hope performance 😭 the ending where they take her away… it reminded me of Fingertips where she says “what kind of mother was she to say I'd end up in institutions?” I think she’s representing her past (the AA meetings when she sings the Bowery bums part) but also the dramatic future her mother had imagined for her when she was a teen… cause she probably told her she was “crazy”

This is a pretty good sounding version of a lot of the show

the amount of effort she's been putting in the 2023 shows is AMAZING... the new set list (10 out of 12 songs being from NFR, COCC, BB and OB).. the vocal... the choreo

I need LDR10 to be her psychedelic surf rock drenched in reverb trip hop album

Longer video of Hope! I love how she just gets dragged away at the end skkkk x

“So if that’s the only one you know now you know a lot of other ones” - LDR after singing Summertime Sadness 💀💀 self aware queen Summertime Sadness

this performance making me stream both NFR and chemtrails this morning it's been a while

I see the world didn’t implode without blue jeans and white mustang on the set. I hope Lana saw that too

great video of hope

the artistry..... I think this performance simbolizes a lot of things.. the guys reading?cia agents? and then she being carried away by two guys wearing white, and the white flannel they put into her.. i can't decipher it, but I know this has some deep meaning

I also can't believe the setlist was 85% NFR, Chem, Blue and Ocean Blvd. This should be the staple of her setlist in the year 2023. She sounds so so good singing her new songs, I said this since MITA Festival. Norman fucking Rockwell Arcadia Bartender Chemtrails The Grants Breaking Up Slowly For Free Mariners Apartment Complex Summertime Sadness Ocean Blvd Hope is a dangerous thing

for k pt 2 and yosemite

Sorry but I need LDR 10 to sound like that tropical summertime sadness version

this gif scared me so bad, i thought i was witnessing my first scat attack

Now that I think about it, is this the first show she’s ever done where she hasn’t sang Blue Jeans since like the beginning of her LDR career? I feel like that song has been on every single setlist since the beginning of time along with Video Games & Born to Die, the latter of which she also didn’t perform. Of course since this was a Folk festival it made sense without it, but I feel like by now Blue Jeans should be traded out for a different song for her usual setlist. She does love performing it though which is probably why it’s stuck around as long as it has x

Just Watched the Hope Performance and it was so amazing, I'm shook She needs to add it to the Setlist

Sorry but out of all the 2023 shows this was her best one. The setlist actually made sense with the show. I fucking loved it she looked amazing too! Vocals too!

I was thinking they are dragging her into an asylum with the "straight jacket" and guys in white coats. I've been trying to connect the FBI agents to the story but everything I've come up with is a reach. For example, having the girls support her as the FBI questions her about her recent stalkers and if she recognized them and her becoming overwhelmed with the entire thing and the girls pulling her away. How fame can drive you insane if you succumb to it but luckily for her she has hope and will continue to keep fighting. I'm probably doing too much but I appreciate her artistry and storytelling and I hope she performs it again or we get a full performance.

She looks like a 60s starlet I love it

Backstage

A girl that follows my account on Instagram told me that her best friend got to meet Lana and Rob in Newport today. She asked the girl “was it too much me getting dragged off the stage yesterday?” and that she was overthinking it 😭🥹 It was beautiful and so meaningful, she changed the setlist to make it more close to the festivals vibe and was so happy performing at her dads hometown… Critics just pick one thing they dislike and let it overshadow all the good things she did/does.

ldr10 is going to be so special, I can feel it

the outro is iconic tho it's giving ambulance workers sending patient straight to hospital tea

These pics are so Lizzy Grant coded

Hiiiii I was there!!!! Ahhhh I took the first two pics Actually unbelievable

Fr, if Lana’s team was smart they would drop that instead of a sped up version😭

omg ~Behind the Iron Gates: Insights from an Institution~ must be coming soon

i feel like another stevie nicks collab would be STUNNING with lana's current musical direction. i could see her doing fewer collaborations on this next album though, but who knows.

Since the first show of the tour, I've had this delusional idea that the show is not a concert in the normal sense, but is a self-curated juke box musical covering Lana's whole career (which is why there are pre-BTD images behind her, and she uses different wigs, etc). This version of Hope only adds to the delusion.

From tonight -

Zodiac track 2

This to me was the most dreamy set list and it saddens me that I know fine well it won’t be repeated.. so never to see it live myself

The radio edit is on Apple Music but can only be accessed from the UK: https://music.apple.com/gb/album/say-yes-to-heaven-radio-edit/1696326377?i=1696326483

That hope performance could be the best performance of her career

apparently she did a whole theatrical performance with some kind of story while singing hope. im amazed

Y’all ever notice how haters will use “she” and “her” rather than “you” when commenting hateful ass shit. Like they’re too scared to say “Your set was a joke” so they say “Her set was a joke”… as if that makes what they’re saying any less hateful

Clearly, The Bell Jar is a major influencer in Lana's lyrics, "I saw my life..." written on the mirror by one of the dancers is a direct quote from The Bell Jar... But it's not just in Hope... A&W first line is proof of that... Lana "I haven't done a cartwheel since I was nine" - Plath "I felt happier than I had been since I was nine" Lana - The double mirrors on stage - Plath The magic mirror, the study of the double... and there are others as well...

Her smile

I love all the interpretations of the choreo and would add it's likely also a reference to The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, about a young woman being institutionalized in a mental hospital. The white sheet suggests a shroud as well as a straitjacket. Lots of layers. I NEED the chill tropical version of SS to be released as a single. She sounded SO GOOD throughout

for Rolling Stone she was one of the best performances https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-live-reviews/newport-folk-festival-lana-del-rey-james-taylor-1234797217/

I need a Middle Eastern / Asia / World Music influenced album from Lana Del Rey, with mystic guitar flicks and chimes and shit. I want to be conjured.

Cant believe Flipside got out there before Sad Girl, she's so random I guess you can add "Is This Happiness" as well

She was introducing her team - “Can we give it up for Porctia, Peaches, and Jazzy? My amazing band, obviously, Blake Stranathan, we’ve got Byron, we’ve got Charlie and Coco. My gorgeous dancers.”

The hope performance kind of reminds me of a streetcar named desire like she’s being hauled away to a mental hospital at the end or smth
