Some of these nasty reviews are making me so sad. To me, Lana is a star akin to older generations—when musicians didn’t spend months training, both physically and vocally, for a show or tour, but showed up as they were, just to sing, without all of the fanfare. I absolutely appreciate spectacles like the Eras tour and Beychella, etc., those are masterful feats of artistry and intense preparation, but I just don’t feel like that’s what Lana’s after. Obviously I don’t know her personally, but to me, she’s more of a songwriter and poet who probably prefers a normal, delicate, relaxed existence (exemplified by her appearing at random garden stores and coffee shops along the California coast). I think she probably still battles stage fright, and I’m really amazed and proud that she signed up to do these two shows. After writing music so different from—and changing the sound of—the industry over the past 10 years+, it’s really cool to see her finally get her flowers as the headliner and do it in her own way. Maybe a massive arena-style stage isn’t the kindest venue for her talents and unique energy, but she did it in her own way, with heart and absolute style. I’m proud to be a fan and it’s not surprising to see these reviews (ahem, Guardian) revert to their 2014 tone. 

omg yes!!

omg yes!!

Omg just rewound the streams - 
Lana & Justice were Phenomenal!

I should’ve figured out a way to attend irl…

replacing bartender with a cinnamon girl would be enough, I think

I think his “confusion”
was a reference to his outro on the album, Because after Hope - He starts asking if she’s real, If this was all a dream / Hoping it’s real.
 

rewatching young and beautiful and that looks straight out of a movie scene omg 

Glasto outfit was in fact beautiful and much better imo.. and would’ve probably matched the theme of the stage more. She ofc wouldn’t have been able to get on the pole though
 
the whole comments about her aging backwards and her styling being so much better are a bit sad, because it literally is just about the weight loss and people may not even realise it. Yeah she looked incredible last night.. but she also looked incredible last year 

If she sang buddy’s rendezvous live I would lose it 
 
is it likely he will be next weeks guest? 

no one asked for, but the motorcycles were electrically and sponsored by Ryvid EV

Everyone on social media is saying this was her best performance ever and while it was extremely magical, definitely not her best. You could tell she was really nervous (understandably so) and the setlist was not built for Coachella. 

Watching the show for a second time and I think other than the audio issues with her microphone it was a great performance and I still can't get over how gorgeous she looks 
 
I'm so excited for next weeks show too but idk if I can stay awake until 4 am again lol 

I know you can find it on sharemania, but you have to sign up, which i haven't done yet. I believe @jaesana has already grabbed it and was going to upload to dropbox when she can.

Tbh I feel like if she had just scrapped Bartender and Arcadia and done Let the Light In it would already have been a way better set. 

See my last post on this page...idk, am i allowed to post a sharemania link?

I can't tell if next week is going to be way better (bc she will have less nerves after already doing it once), or way worse after some of these negative reviews...

My unsolicited thoughts about the concert:
 
Lana has had technical issues, and any presentation she gives that has even a slight air of importance to it, she will be visibly nervous until she has something to make her relax and enjoy the moment.
 
Last year was stressful. Return to the stage shows, Glastonbury, and even a Grammy catwalk left her anxious. It would be no different at Coachella. In the first few songs, she was so nervous that she couldn't get air in her voice. I believe it should be something to consider and, when putting together the show, to think strategically about it: starting with the vocal demands of Without You was not cool. But the following fun tracks were an interesting choice to get her grooving and grounded. I don't want to go on talking about the setlist, I think it's boring for fans to want a show to suit their own taste (many of the setlists put together by fans just replace songs that, in the end, will have the same vibe in the show).
 
However, I would like her to consider all the tracks that, last year and this year, made a splash on the charts or went viral in a certain way. Lana doesn't have commercial purposes anymore, but not singing Margaret, Let the Light In and Say Yes to Heaven didn't seem smart to me.
 
I made these negative comments first because I don't want what I'm going to say now to lose its power, because, in fact, this is my prevailing opinion: it was an excellent show.
 
Think about it with me: the only thing that leaves us slightly disappointed is, as fans, having seen this show being built bit by bit over the past year; so, the parts we saw previously no longer hit us in the same way.
 
However, I remember being surprised and satisfied with the new choreographies, the ballet, the stage more "full" of elements, the backing vocals complementing Lana's voice - in short, all the creativity present.
 
For critics and anyone who went to see the show without wanting to have their favorite playlist playing, with their eyes clear, it was incredible. Right after Chemtrails and all the technical problems subsided a little, the atmosphere was amazing. Lana's real chemistry with the guests, the improvisations she did with the backing vocals, John Baptiste and her singing for a long time over just a piano at the biggest festival in the world known for having an electrifying energy was the most rockn act 'night roll.
 
I don't know.
 
It was just special.

FRIENDS- the Lana re-uploads keep getting taken down, but don't worry. I downloaded the set in full HQ quality and I'm going to upload it to Dropbox shortly.
