This song of MS is a modern classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ9E0mC9Cwk

Yes, they are so so amazing, that Taylor Swift already wrote a song with these lyrics.

My favorites: She's not me Put the radio on Hollywood

In 2012 Spin magazine published this very good article about Lana – "Deconstructing Lana Del Rey" – and they discussed this topic (Lana being pushed into her image or not) in length there. http://www.spin.com/articles/deconstructing-lana-del-rey/?page=0

Could you send them to me? That would be great! (I really like Poppy's cover versions.)

So where did you find it?

Best video ever.

Actually I prefer her YT-videos over her music... I'm glad she posts all of those weird clips.

I also really like this song (from 2011): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsXv8d46jDQ

It would be great if you could pm those to me too!

I'm not sure if anybody posted this review yet, but it's pretty positive! "Album Review: Lana Del Rey Reaches Peak Lana in ‘Honeymoon’" http://howlandechoes.com/2015/09/album-review-lana-del-rey-reaches-peak-lana-in-honeymoon/

Her cover of Nirvana's "Heart shaped box" at her Paradise tour 2013 was awesome too - I like it when she's sounding more rock:

I guess Lana's acapella version of "Salvatore" at the Montreux Jazz Festival this year would be my favorite Lana live moment ever.

True, her live versions of "Honeymoon" are sooo much better than the album version!

Another video in quite good quality from her Montreux gig was just uploaded (the sound's a bit weak):

This swedish female singer made a "Lana clone" song: And this band from Israel obviously loves Lana too: http://www.vevo.com/watch/lola-marsh/Sirens-(audio)/ILACB0900045

I'm really sorry the concert wasn't that great for you. Btw, the reason why I chose to fly to Montreux instead of the festival in France (something I thought about at first) was that the Montreux gig was not open air, at a very small venue and it was "Lana exclusive", not her being just part of a long lineup of random other artists - for me Lana's music and atmosphere is no mega-festival banger stuff but something for more intimate locations. And obviously Lana needs the positive vibes coming from the audience to enjoy herself and pull off a great show. If I were her I wouldn't do those big festivals at all...

The latter. Maybe my favorite moment of the entire gig.

Here's another HD clip from Montreux, this time the closing song "Off to the races". The guitar is really superb. And Lana's voice too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGoxtbfrIMs

Don't know if this clip of Salvatore is already posted but here the recorded quality of her singing voice is perfect (on most YT-videos from this show the sound is unbearable crappy): EDIT. This one's even better:

So after travelling 2200 km to see Lana live in Montreux I'm finally back home. I'm still processing what I saw/ heard - because all in all this was the best concert I've ever been to (and I attended A LOT of gigs over the past 20 years). I Ioved every minute of it - the sound was amazing; it's so cool to hear some of the older songs with this psychedelic rock vibe. The overall atmosphere was really magic, I felt like in a dream. And Lanas voice was incredible, especially with the more quiet songs and especially especially at Salvatore and Yayo! The Honeymoon songs were stunning too, I loved "Honeymoon" (even better than the already awesome BBC live version - almost shoegaze-like guitars), and "Freak" sounded like a real drug trip (even without the drugs ). And as some of you noticed already Lana seemed really happy and to enjoy the show too. Some random thoughts: - Her short acapella rendition of Salvatore was cute as hell. Lana is the only artist I can think of where I'd love to hear an entire concert just her singing, without any band playing in the backgound. - Please bring on a live album/DVD Lana! - Some of the BTD songs sounded so heavy/guitardriven, I dug that a lot! "Off to the races" was a killer. - The gig would've been even better if she had included a few more HM or UV-songs instead of the old BTD stuff imho. And it would be fantastic if some day she would play those two albums completely. - It's a shame "Serial killer" never got a proper release - it's such an amazing song, especially live. - The Auditorium Stravinski is a cool venue - you can see the lake and the mountains from the foyer. - Lana is the best(est).

Hot As Sun – Never be the same (has a pretty Lana-ish sound)

Oh just 1200 € per ticket ... http://www.montecarlolive.com/monte-carlo-sporting-summer-festival-en/programmation/lana-del-rey-monaco-red-cross-gala/

Call me crazy but I just bought my ticket for her Montreux gig. This should be awesome, the location looks great and is near the lake. So I'm travelling > 1100 km to see her live again...

I'm interested in her Montreux gig but tickets are really expensive - 95 €!! (Tickets for Neil Young are 145 € though...)
