Some nice sentiments all around

I've only watched the show once, but feel like it's going to be on rotation a lot when I finally get a copy of it. I thought it was a fantastic representation of who Lana is, and what she wants out of a live performance.
This is just my opinion of her as an artist, and some people might disagree, but I don't think she does anything ironically or sarcastically when she's performing. I think she develops ideas in her head of what a perfect show will be, and the actual shows are those wishes filtered through the realities of what putting on a massive performance are. Last night I think she got really close to bringing the reality close to her ideal concept of a show. The look on her face throughout was something wonderful - even (maybe especially?) during 'I Luv It'. She was completely in the moment during that, and during CN, and during Hope, and a bunch of others. As 'super fans', we can get lost hoping that she'll play our favourite songs or switch things up more, but I try to just listen to what she's actually doing, and not wish for what's coming next. Coachella booked her as Lana Del Rey, not as 'The Young and Beautiful Singer' (as some newspapers still refer to her as). All you can ask of an artist is that they're true to themselves and give their all, and I think she did that (mostly). At the start of the Tunnel tour, I said she was making her own jukebox musical out of her own songs, and I think she got as close to that as she ever has with this show.

OMG Thank you! I was pounding my head on the table trying to remember what this was!

I loved all the attention to detail, like during the transition/intro to Ocean Blvd, that was the instrumental theme from the soap opera The Young & the Restless playing under the voiceover about the tunnel... a lovely way to connect that song with Candy Necklace ("you've been actin young and restless"). 

Made the trip to Coachella just for Lana and back to LA all in one day, so I'm just now waking up but wow… 
 
I haven't seen Lana since the NFR tour in 2019 and while the set hasn't changed much in structure, it was still such a new feeling to see her last night. There is a new energy to her- she is so much lighter, she has learned a lot about herself in the past few years I think. It was fun to watch her riff on stage and enjoy playing music with her friends, and on top of that she looked beautiful and was serving that gorgeous dark aesthetic.  
 
I was close to the front and to hear everyone singing Arcadia and Tunnel made me so emotional - and you could tell it made her feel so seen and loved. I don't know how to explain it but she just seems so much more at peace since the last time I saw her. 
 
The show just felt so personal, something that only Lana can pull off on such a large stage like Coachella. I have so much more to say but I am exhausted and brainrotted - just wanted to share how lovely it was to see Lana last night. 
 
I know people also weren't happy with the Camila guest spot, but Lana was having a blast, plus it was a super fun dance moment not gonna lie. Overall just such a great night and I can't thank Lana enough for everything. Seeing her at Coachella was a dream of mine for so many years and I'm so happy that I got to see it through. 

I went last night and it was SO special...
the crowd went INSANE when she came out with the Veil,
girls were crying and screaming !!!
and to "My My, Hey Hey" Neil young out of the blue into the black rock and roll is here to stay song.. it was SO iconic... 
also from a crowd view, the backup singers were FANTASTIC they helped bring so much beauty to her performance 
Camillo was cringe to me but the crowd seemed pleased, especially those that aren't LDR Stans. 
The leather men carrying her off during Hope was SO SEXY AND HOT.. and then she came out in the leather "lasso" looking type dress and veil, we were gagged. 
Her and Jon Batiste were MAGICAL AF. and her going to the stripper pole during Candy Necklace was ICONIC AFFFF the crowd was screaming so hard and it kinda low-key is like "yes she can go back to stripping and singing about how she wants or wanted to be loved without being criticized as feigning fragility or glamor" so as a die hard fan since 2014 it really is impressive how far she has come in confidence 
As far as the without you lyrics, I didn't notice her leaving the "your love is deadly" out but she was overcome with nerves before, she stood for like a 30 seconds - minute meditating almost on stage 
anyways, 10/10 might be her best performance ever

omg I just finished watching, what a show!!! A little shaky at first but her confidence grew quickly and then her vocals were just out of this world and she really felt like she was in her element.
 
Candy Necklace was absolutely one of the greatest things to ever happen on a Coachella stage. My jaw was dropped, I was gasping for air. If anyone dares to say Lana can't sing or doesn't have stage presence, that should be mandatory viewing. What a stunning, mysterious, sexy performance. An absolute highlight of her career right there, and then to go right into a heartbreaking and creative performance of Hope with that moving monologue to end it...wow just wow.
 
Imagine complaining that Lana doesn't perform her bops when she's serving art like that?? 
 
The only low part was Camila's hilarious random interlude, but I'm choosing to view it as social commentary. People demand high energy performances and say because it's Coachella it's what she has to do, so she gave us the most chaotic (and bad) version of high energy to shut people up before returning to her ballads and absolutely slaying the rest of the performance.
 

honestly the funniest thing that's ever happened at a Lana show

honestly the funniest thing that's ever happened at a Lana show

Don't forget 'Is This Happiness'
which is one of the funniest putdowns ever in a song, at least until 'Your poetry's bad and you blame the news'.
