sierramadre

those bridge vocals and the band goes right into BTD as her reverb is still ringing with no awkward pause. setlist sure seems a lot better when the execution is actually good

not them fucking up the sound of the best livestream we’ve had in years

my prediction (delusion) is that Mariners will take the place of NFR and Arcadia

sounds like the backup singers were singing on west coast & doin time and the tracks were actually mixed how they are in the songs. vocals were more confident + absolutely no mic issues. we’re improving for sure. and honestly I kinda like this setlist. I think for the more casual fans, which is a large part of these festival crowds, it does what it needs to do. and she’s clearly singing what she considers to be her best work. I do wish there was more variety, but can’t be mad at this genuine question tho, does anybody here like Young & Beautiful as a closer with that jazz outro? it was fun for Coachella, but I just don’t think it’s even close to as impactful as closing with Ocean Blvd.

she said it during the instagram live after Blue Banisters came out

isn’t this like her first show literally ever where she hasn’t played Blue Jeans? I’m gonna count that as a win. overall the setlist is fine. I think Jimmy shoulda been towards the beginning, Ocean Blvd should still be the closer. the song selection wasn’t bad, but the sequencing was questionable at best.

thought I was the only one. the “last call, hey y’all…” part has a very sensual feel. gives me the same feeling as the Rockefeller part of candy necklace, sexy sad stripper vibes lol

I really wanted to love this one, but I just… don’t. And it’s not about the production being lowkey, most of my favorite Lana songs are piano ballads. Feels the same as Life Lesson to me in the sense that they’re saying a whole lot of words that mean absolutely nothing. But at least Life Lesson had some interesting melodic choices, this doesn’t even have that working for it. Also the cut to a different vocal take at 2:05 is so shockingly messy that it completely pulled me out of it.

Lmao Rob “I guess that’s it”

I really thought we were finally gonna have a show without Born To Die… but she still found a way to get it in there

They definitely spiced up the arrangement of Bartender a little bit

Don’t really care what the sound of the record is because I’ll most likely love whatever she’s doing. Only thing I’m really hoping for is good quality vocals. She can use the Shure SM58 all she wants because it sounds fantastic on songs like Hollywood Bowl and Sweet Carolina. but whatever the fuck happened on Kintsugi and Fishtail? I’m gonna need her to never do that again

Blue Banisters, Cinnamon Girl, Honeymoon I love the full, warm, ambient sound of Blue Banisters. The layered synths can elevate songs to much more than a simple piano ballad. Mix that with the sensual drums of Cinnamon and the slow, drawn out melody of Honeymoon, and you’ve got my dream Lana sound.

I think she should just do Candy Necklace in place of Bartender. Candy Necklace is a highlight of the show and wasn’t even written on the set for last night, there’s no reason to remove it and still be doing bartender, even though it is one of my favorites.

Did she just say “are you moshing out there” lmao there was part of the crowd that you could see moving even with this quality

This set is giving me whiplash but I’m not mad at it

Kinda sounds like Cherry might be next with this guitar… weird order if so

I think it will be after candy necklace if she does it

I never thought we’d see the day she skipped Cherry… TJF is definitely coming

“I’ve got secrets I’ll take to grave, if I don’t I might die off” sounded like what she changed it to

oh we are switching it up

kyndalpitzer on IG, she ended but will come back when Lana starts

Watching the livestream, they just set up a monitor onstage. Could mean she’s bringing out a guest, because she always uses in-ears.

Oh she’s definitely gonna give some country vibes tonight isn’t she… I know it’s unpopular but I love it

I would die. He’s one of the best songwriters alive right next to Lana, and their styles as of recently are so similar. I hope they connected yesterday.
