If we're talking about Lana era only, I agree with a lot of yours. Here are some that were important for me.
 
1) The iTunes festival 
 

 
I'm sure everyone here has seen this, but this was the first proper live performance of hers that I ever saw. I had not seen the Ride film clip, so I didn't understand her clothes at all - it seemed to me that she'd grabbed some clothes from two decades ago on the way out of the house and put them on just before getting on stage. I also had in mind that comment a certain person made about her SNL appearance - that she looked like a teenage singer in her bedroom. I got that feeling from this performance as well, but not in a bad way - it looked as though she was out of place and unsure of herself, but that she had these amazing songs that she was singing completely un-selfconsciously, which is such a rare thing. It genuinely got me excited about following her.
 
2) Ride on Langs de Leeuw

Not only is this one of her best vocal performances, and a beautiful song (of course), but the look on Sharon Den Adel's face is priceless, not to mention that the crowd seems stunned into silence. If someone asked me to show them a video of LDR that proved she could sing with the best of them, this is the one I'd bring up.
 
3) Ultraviolence at Vancouver
 

 
Not only was this the first time any of us had heard the song, it felt like a special moment from afar. We got some snippets, then a bad recording, then this quite good recording. Some of the lyrics are a little different, too, and I generally prefer them here to the album.
 
4) Off To The Races first performance
 

 
A strange one. She seems very excited here ... but it's a rarely performed song, and recorded before the madness truly began. 
 
5) National Anthem LA Night 3, 2012
 

 
The strangest of them all. Instead of going into the crowd and taking selfies (which blew my mind the first time I saw her doing it on the iTunes show), she leans forward and kisses a few fans in the front rows. Both disturbing and amazing, it's a side of Lana that we see again and again in her dealings with fans, but here it's taken to the next level. It feels transgressive to be observing it, and it's very hard to figure out what she's thinking. I find this video as compelling as the film clip, and, come to think of it, it's a nice companion to the monologue at the end of the clip.

Why is this vinyl cover a thing? 

can you imagine
 
I like to see everything in neon

Maybe  the way that I'm living is killing me (We the best)

LDR7 will be produced by Dj Khaled 

Today I experienced something beautiful and I hope nobody minds if I share it here.
I've spent the whole week in a city that's really close to the ocean, and today was my last day there. I went on the beach to see the sunset and I put Venice Bitch as the sun was setting down. It was magical but it also gave me a bittersweet feeling because the line "as the summer fades away, nothing gold can stay" had never felt that true. I could still hear the sound of the waves crashing down with the music in my ears. I wrote something for the boy I love on the sand, and I sent it to him with the sunset and the song. And he replied by "this is so beautiful omg" and knowing him, it was a rare moment of him sharing his feelings. Then the song ended and I walked along the beach as the sun was fading away completely. And I think that's what was missing to make me appreciate VB a lot more. Now, it's definitely a special song to me.

hi guys!
 
I absolutely love the 2 new songs too, especially FIILY with its amazing outro... I wonder too what the correct lyrics are, hope we find out soon (I think I hear jazz is in my veins though  )

I know this sounds made up but I beg you to trust me when I say that I, a resident in a tiny town in this small country, once saw a middle aged woman drive a convertible in the opposite direction of the one way street I live in, full speed, while blasting In My Feelings through the speakers. It couldn't be from a radio station, she's probably the only other stan around. I feared her, but I also welcome her as my future self.

yay my account finally got approved so i can post after months of lurking! 
 
i haven't listened to TG/FIILY yet because i wanna wait for the album so i have more new songs to experience but hearing you guys rave about them is KILLING ME omg

looking for love in all the wroooong PLAAAAACEEESSS ohhhmyGAAAWWWDD!! 

Ben and Ed had her arrested immediately after the leak. Everyone who has ordered a cassette has also been arrested and will only be freed after the official release. Some say the measures are extreme but they really take the whole 'Lana's management is useless and should actually pay attention so her stuff doesn't get leaked weeks before the release' thing a little personally

I love threads like these!! 
 
So I may or may not have thought about this a little too much... I personally like a setlist that flows well so I tried to think about it like that, but full disclaimer I haven't listened to any NFR songs aside from the snippets and the older singles so idk. I'm imagining this to be a tour that's promoting no album in particular, sort of like the Endless Summer tour! So just a little fun tour for the fans featuring a mixture of eras/albums.
