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.

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?

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:
 

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.

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).

Interesting, I've never heard about that band before.
thanks for sharing, sirens sounds amazing.

I get really offended when people say Honeymoon is boring. It literally makes no sense, to me personally at least. It's SUCH an awesome record. Anyone who makes any other Lana fan feel lesser for liking a certain album more/less than another is stupid.

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...

This is supposed to be a 'world news'?

So a tabloid paper here got an exclusive interview from Lana aftet her show in Locarno.
 
Heres the link http://www.blick.ch/people-tv/musik/exklusiv-interview-mit-superstar-lana-del-rey-31-ich-komme-definitiv-in-die-schweiz-zurueck-id5270728.html
 
And here is my translation:
 
BLICK: You only rarely give interviews. Why?
 
Lana Del Rey: I got misunderstood a lot in the past. By now, I let the music speak for itself and I hope, that it spreads as far as possible without me telling my own opinion about it.
 
 
In the past, you were often nervous prior to your shows. Is it still like that?
 
Not anymore. My life only circles around music by now, so concerts feel really natural now.
 
 
You performed in the entire world. Where is it the most beautiful to do so?
 
I love coastal cities, like Monaco or Portofino in Italy. I also really like Montreux, where I peformed on thursday. The Lake of Geneva is beautiful. I am happy, that I am able to visit one of the most beautiful places in the world during this tour: Athens, St-Tropez - and now Locarno of course.
 
 
How do you spend your time when you're not on tour?
 
I am writing songs. I work mostly at home with a producer, Rick Nowles. He lives really close to the beach. From time to time, I go swimming. Or I visit different towns along the south-californian shore. I also like to got to concerts. I'm in Los Angeles at least once per week and go watch a band perform that I like.
 
 
What inspires you?
 
Happiness of all sorts. It is also inspirational to have the realization to be completly free and to spend the everyday life just was I want it to. I spend a lot of time out in the nature, for example I go hiking in the mountains, I watch theater plays or attend poetry readings. I like creative people. If I then have an idea for a song, I mostly record it immediately with my phone. Later, I go to the producer and sing the melody acapella for him.
 
 
How would your life be like, if you didn't have your breakthrough in 2012 with your song "Video Games?
 
I still remember exactly when I decided to become a singer. I was in college and we did an excursion to an indian reservation. I realized then, that there were two options for me: music, or volunteer work for a good cause. I went for music. If this hadn't worked out, I'd probably be in some smalltown doing community work.
 
 
What has changed since you became famous?
 
I can't go out alone often anymore. That's annoying. But I can do what I love: Earning my coins by singing.
 
 
When are you the happiest?
 
When I just finished an amazing tour and I can work on a new album again. I love to observe how something final can emerge from a vision, how words shape a song. But I also have a fulfilling life apart from music. I meet friends and I like to go eat in a restaurant in late evening during summer.
 
 
Where do you see yourself in 30 years?
 
How would I know! But I will definitely come back to Switzerland to see Montreux and Locarno again. I really liked it here!
 
The interview was held by letter.

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