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

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'.

my sleep deprived addition: Neil Young’s song is essentially about musicians fearing fading away and having to fight that, and how fame can come and go so easily. It references so many artists who lived fast and died young, and burn out/fade way was quoted in Kurt’s suicide note. It’s very much a sister song to Did you know… I think it definitely corresponds with the hope ending looking like a funeral. 
https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/neil-young-song-about-johnny-rotten/ this is an article i like about it and there’s more reading you can do on the meaning. it’s not as cunt as jealous girl but understanding the message to this song is integral to her whole setlist i think. I’m too sleep deprived to really get into it but like!!! 

I can only make out one of the books (thanks to reubengotto posting it on his story) from hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have but i have it. 
 
The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman by Hunter S. Thompson
- He was a major figure in the counterculture movement and created Gonzo journalism, in which the journalist becomes the central figure in the story and essentially blurs fact and fiction. Thompson is known for his substance abuse and other destructive behaviors. He also sexually assaulted at least one woman.
 
i’m doing this little analysis but watch it turn out that it was just a random book they had packed to read on the trip down. 

Ok in get free she says “out of the black into the blue” like it’s a positive thing. Like she’s becoming happier. But during Coachella she literally goes from blue to black in outfit changes meaning a return to her darker mindset. The intro song (My My, Hey Hey-Neil Diamond) also says “out of the blue into the black” and talks about basically going hard instead of fizzling out. The hologram cage interlude talked about women being mothers or virgins and how those are the only acceptable choices in society. But then goes on to talk about sensuality and creativity and not being caged by just the two choices of virgin or mother. She’s mused a lot about motherhood especially in Ocean Blvd and I think this could all point to her giving up having kids and just focusing on her career, her art. Also the ending where she’s carried out felt like a funeral instead of the usual psych ward vibe, then she’s almost reborn into a new era that is just for her. Of course this could all just me being tired af and unhinged. 
 
Someone else that’s better an analyzing this stuff chime in! Lol

Yes  (and yes to everyone asking, I will add an emote of Lana on the pole lol)

i can’t believe i stood at barricade for 10+ hours holy shit. time for me to go eat something and get drunk
 
enjoy the rest of your day/night angels.
may we never forget the nights performance  ✨

“hey hey, my my”, the entrance song, is the theme song of “sons of anarchy” a tv show about an outlaw motorcycle club

last thing i’ll say and then i’ll shut up cause im probably annoying af. 
 
during NFR, someone yelled “TAYLOR SWIFT” when she sang the lyric “your poetry’s bad and you blame the news” ..now i’m sure there’s several swifties in the chat but everyone around hollered

So glad we got to share such a lovely night  this is the best community and we stan the best artist… long live Lanaboards, long live LASSO, and most of all, long live LANA DEL FUCKING REY 

CAN SHE ANNOUNCE LASSO PLEASE OMFG
