I really don't get how people can say that Honeymoon was rushed - it's clearly the album with the best production! If you wanna know more reasons why Honeymoon is amazing check out @Art Deco 's blog post about it

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

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.

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:
 

My fantasy concert would be an indoor venue with seats. (Reserved and I would have front row) No pit. A pure "concert" for the music where it is about Lana and the band and her beautiful voice. By that I mean not about Lana the OMG it's Lana Del Rey, YASSS Queen, I am going to cry etc. All the fandom and hero worship stuff. (Of which I am a big part) No sing alongs, or phones. Just an opportunity to hear the music. I am not putting the other stuff down as I am a part of that but seeing her live is actually a very draining experience. Like I said it's just a fantasy. Sigh.

My ideal concert;
 
A smaller venue like she used to do, how stunning were the likes of the nouveau casino show?
Surprise new covers
New song premiere
Older song she never performed live yet, other than those 3 I don't mind the content of the set list
Her fans controlled themselves and not screamed like banshees so I could hear her properly
Professionally recorded so I could enjoy them over and over again
Oh, and her dressed up like Priscilla again because it was fucking adorable

My ideal setlist:
 
1) Music to Watch Boys to (pitch black, with a spotlight on Blake and they add a guitar intro for him. and then lana finally sings "i like you a lot...")
 
2) Born to Die
 
3) National Anthem
 
4) Freak
 
-- transition --
 
6) Art Deco
 
7) West Coast
 
8) Blue Jeans
 
9) American
 
10) Ride
 
11) Honeymoon
 
12) Ultraviolence
 
13) Shades of Cool
 
14) Pretty When You Cry
 
15) Young & Beautiful
 
16) Video Games
 
17) Heart Shaped Box (Nirvana Cover) 
 
18) Religion
 
19) High By the Beach
 
 
 
That would honestly be my dream setlist. ive thought about this wayyyy too much, if you couldnt tell, lmao 
 
Also, I didnt mind the backup dancers if they were there for a few songs, but they were there for the whole show and it didnt work for me. Additionally, NO MORE FESTIVALS. it was a terrible idea. if she did indoor venues again, i would die

the setlist of Montreux is close to perfect. I'd add some mroe Honeymoon songs and Salvatore in full, thats it.

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

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 like honeymoon better than BTD

I hope she releases next year

What do you hear in that song...her voice is so muffled you can't even understand what she says and the production is a mess....are the other tracks any 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).

This swedish female singer made a "Lana clone" song:
 

 
And this band from Israel obviously loves Lana too:
