There's a difference between "exploring new material" and completely changing your artistic aesthetic, which it seems like some people are calling for.  I want Lana songs to sound like Lana songs.

Gosh, I think you're being a little bit harsh -- just because someone sits down for a slow, obscure, semi-released cover song it makes them a "bandwagon fan"?

I *hope* that Honeymoon is BTD 2.0.  She doesn't need to change sounds or reinvent herself every album -- she'll eventually alienate her fans (other than the ground-worshiping stans) because if she keeps going in new directions eventually one of them will be a dud.

I think you should know she will not do a 2hour set when you go to a Lana concert HOWEVER I think 13 songs are really not that much and they are not THAT long. They are longer than the average 3:40 songs but still ... I think at least 15 or 16 tracks would be appropriate, some people really paid alot for the show.
If she's sooo anxious she wouldn't cgo and entertain the first row with selfies, let these hysterical teens screen at her and listen to their crystories for like 15 minutes of the performance. Everyone payed to be there and if she has enough guts to do these things, she should definitly perform a few more songs.
People expecting her to put on the show of an entertainer are dumb, she's a singe rand her songs don'r require dancing choreos and costume changes. But still, a little bit more effort would be cool.

With all due respect,
 
1) it's not the 1960s anymore.
 
2) you complain about artists who stop the show to change outfits, what about artists who stop the show for 15 mins to take selfies with the front row?  Just as bad...

The cost of the show/sponsorship is completely irrelevant to whether or not Lana puts on an adequate show.  And this is a discussion board, where people, you know, discuss things, so "shut up and don't go if you don't like it" isn't a very constructive response.  Or would you prefer people only talk about Lana when they're worshiping her?

This x1000.  Your view will inevitably be blocked by a hundred assholes holding up their phones for the entire show...

I'd rather have a reimagined (not watered down) BTD 2.0 than a jazz album

No, I want her to put on a performance that lasts more than 13 or 14 songs -- something those back-up dancer/costume change artists that you make fun of have managed to figure out.  When you see Lana, you hardly get your money's worth, at least compared to every other major headlining artist in her genre.  It's pretty sad that even fucking Lorde (who has one album and has been out like a year) plays longer shows than a multi-platinum, multi-album star like Lana.  She's pretty lazy when it comes to her performances, and pointing that out is a perfectly legit "complaint."

That's the thing, she doesn't *need* to move anything to make room for new songs -- she could just increase her setlists to a reasonable size for a proper headlining act.  It's sort of ridiculous to only perform 14 or 15 songs when you're an established artist headlining ~20,000 seat venues.  When her peers go on tour they perform ~25 songs at the same venues...

The show was amazing.  Courtney rocked it, and had a really good sense of humor about everything.  Lana sounded incredible -- I don't know if she's been taking vocal lessons or is just more comfortable, but she sounded 100 times better than when she was in Phoenix last year.  The only disappointment was that she didn't do You Can Be the Boss.  She also didn't do Why Don't You Do Right.  But still, an amazing night.
