From the Houstonpress.com:
"It's probably a smart move that Lana Del Rey (or her management team, anyway) isn't allowing the press to cover her tour with Courtney Love, which began Thursday night at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. To say the Hollywood “sadcore” singer has had a touchy relationship with the media is putting it lightly, and artists are well within their rights to restrict access that way; in fact, no less than Bob Dylan did it earlier this week and our reviewer Bob Ruggiero paid for a ticket with good old greenback US dollars. Thursday was also the first night of the tour, which surely added a few first-night jitters to the equation."
 
I criticized her team a lot but this is a good move defending her from negatively biased writers that are coming to her show for free and afterwards they are so "confused" about how she's adored like boy band but they didn't saw nothing worthy of that adulation. This is a nice "fuck yourselves" from Lana. I'm hoping now that they are getting their shit toghether from now on

She looks so happy and free during Us Against the World. In general her vocals seem so on point. I don't even know if any of  it is gonna be on Honeymoon, this whole tour seems to be for shits and giggles and I'm so here for it. 

I cant get over how into it she looks singing her unreleased stuff! I hope she's still doing it/as into it by the time she makes it to charlotte

Bit late to this party but omfg this is life!!!!!!!!
 
The 'ugh' in serial killer........never thought I'd hear that live, even if it is thousands of miles away ;(

HD, clear, almost professional quality:

 

 

 

 

I'm extremely grateful to everyone who uploaded videos/snippets!
 
I can't @ how amazing she sounds and the high notes she reaches. I love the metropolis stage set, it creates a really nice vibe. The reusage of older songs succeds at making the setlist sound fresh, I love her so much tbh. But I still hope she adds a few songs from Honeymoon before the album is out. 
 
Also, the moan during Serial Killer gave me life.

Courtney fucking rocked hard, she was sexy, she kept teasing the crowd for being so young with comments like "I wrote this one when y'all were fetuses!" And when her show ended she yelled "fuck off!" And went off stage she was great

I'm speechless watching these videos. So often when an artist will do obscure or 'fan favourite' songs, they will do a half assed version, as though just remembering them is enough. But Lana looks to be genuinely enjoying singing songs most of us had resigned ourselves to only ever hearing on demos and leaks. I don't even care what this means for the future - this is Lana reclaiming her own past.

You guys, I found a person who was front row and is uploading videos! On their youtube page they also have OTTR, Do Right, Serial Killer, Chelsea Hotel...I guess they will upload more later
 

 
If you want to rip the audio I recommed using this, it's really good quality

One of the songs I've most wanted her to cover. 
Man, I really need to finish my second covers-themed podcast. My outline for it is getting really, really long.
 
Also, praise @ for these videos. 

I can't think of a better thank you she could have given her true blue fans... Awesome!

this was the opening

like a luau ~ paradise ~  

Today is a good day to be a stan
 
@ thank you queen 

I think the only devices they know how to operate are electric chairs.

bjslfkhkgjnf "Do Right" as in the song "Why Don't You Do Right" that I've been waiting forever for her to cover?

So she might start varying her setlist with unreleased tracks including some of my biggest faves once I decide she's not worth seeing live again for awhile?

Two kinds of people
 
 
 
 
 
 

want new material, get new material....still complain
 

Did you guys notice that every movie Lana has contributed to is somehow set in the past?
Great Gatsby = twenties
Maleficient = medieval
Big Eyes = sixties (?) 
Age of Adaline = the protagonist was born at the turn of 20th century and the movie contains many flashbacks  
 
Just goes to show how effective and amazing her retro beauty queen/gangsta Nancy Sinatra aesthetic was. That baby landed her the H&M commercial and the Jaguar deal too 

QUEEN OF SOUNDTRACKS   
 
QUEEN OF THE GAS STATION 
 
QUEEN OF DISASTER   
 
QUEEN OF CONEY ISLAND 
 
QUEEN OF SAIGON       
 
QUEEN OF NEW YORK CITY 
 
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT 
BASICALLY QUEEN OF THE FUCKING   UNIVERSE       
 
DROPS MIC  

At first, I thought 'Life is beautiful' was a working title/alternate title for Black Beauty. I WAS WRONG THEN

Movie's already out in Australia, i planned to see it earlier today but the weather here is HORRIBLE. If my mum doesnt send me to school tomorrow (smh i am /not/ catching 4 buses and 2 trains in this weather) im definitely going to see it.

( i feel like such a child here lmao)

Wait. This movie is releasing in 2 days, y'all.
