No doubt is killing it 

This, or at least structure the set better and add HBTB or something from honeymoon
 
now off topic, but what I would give for a Lana album full of past songs (with a outtake from each era) with new production.

Like I get playing the more ‘deep cut’ songs (Bartender, Arcadia, grants) at her shows, but for Coachella she really should have done at least Flipside and DMD with their new production, SYTH, and Thunder. Hopefully we get LTLI next week

say yes to heaven isn’t a piano ballad, but your point still stands. 
 
I do wonder why she decided to start with such high energy and then immediately kill it. Even the trap beat Love verse before bartender was at least a little interesting. 

Ca-Can you hear me? Yeah, I’m still recovering…

Watch me march on over to Etsy to make my own 🫡😇

These songs were waiting to be performed at Coachella, Lana babe

We got edged last night at the beginning of the set with Without You & West Coast. Then it went to snoozeville. Don’t get me wrong i love Lanas ballads, but out of ALL the songs on NFR the 2 i would want to hear the least always get played  I still enjoyed the show however, it’s Coachella so i had zero expectations. Imagine performing to 250,000 POSER rich tiktok fans. I doubt anyone there would appreciate a deep cut Lana set.

It's weird, she fought many times to include SYTH on her albums, yet it seems like she hates that song... She hasn't acknowledged it not even once since it was released

I'm kinda confused, Lana clearly loves to have fun. She loves fun music, yet always chooses to sing slow songs and constantly think everyone hates her upbeat tracks...
 
I would understand if she only felt comfortable doing slower songs, but then again, there are many fan favorite ballads she pays dust. Is she that oblivious, or deliberately chooses to do the complete opposite of what the public wants?
 
There are so many easy songs she could do, but she chooses not to. She could rely on the backing track and not even be bothered to lift a finger, let the crowd sing and the band do their magic, but no...

to skip the biggest hit among her ballads (SYTH) since, like, Lust for Life feat. The Weeknd was criminal. And it's such an easy song to play, too.
 
The crowd woulda been lapping it up. 
 
But bartender at coachella? Really? Ugh makes me so confused. Surely, the set list should be tailored to the paying audience, not according to what the artist likes to sing in the shower.

I cried

Lana we are ready for a new setlist give us cruel world, thunder, get free, blackest day, Salvatore, peppers, white dress, million dollar man and your girl serve (this will literally never happen) 

Lana’s stylists made these custom crewnecks for Lana’s friends lol -
 

Jump scare seeing Blaire White on that page 

get it lanita latinaim still not over this moment
I NEED IT AS A EMOJI IN HERE!!

this whole set was designed almost like a Great Gatsby's party - just like a celebration of Lana's career. and this is where it's interesting:
 
in The Great Gatsby - Gatsby was surrounded himself with the glamour, the parties, the rich, the extravaganza, the wealthy of it all and some how that was what caged him, he was a rich man but he was never free from his own wealth and social status and he died alone, inside of his own big mansion.
 
Here, we see Lana came to the party, partied hard and then get on a biker and just get away from that party while the Yound And Beautiful jazz version fading in the back as the show ends, this shows Lana has "seen the world, had her best cake, had her ball, had her fame and had her time with fame" and at the end, instead of ended up like Gatsby, she managed to escape from all of it on the biker - which means that she can never be prison to that "gatsby" curse and she will always know how to escape from it to find her own freedom - hence why she uses the bikers that referenced the Ride MV at the beginning of the show and when the show ends.
 
Lana - the genius that you are.

literally no one asked but I just rewatched the show and here are my notes I took this time: 
 
- jealous girl intro motorcycle ride up to the stage.. what can I even say.. will go down as an iconic moment of her career
- her look..  what can I EVEN say.. also will go down as an iconic look of her career
- Without you was a cute first song! I have everything I want money notoriety and rivieras is a helluva lyric to kick off a headlining performance with!
- West Coast!!! wish she sang more but extremely extremely cunty moment.. the way I gasped when the first notes started playing.... and her literally singing on the balcony while singing on the balcony and I'm singing???? I was gaggeddd
- Doin Time was a really good pick for this festival!! (also made me so happy to hear bc I looooove it)
- her visible anxiety through the start was more endearing than detracting from anything and she really found her voice during the beginning of PWYC, but unfortunately that didn't last long as the mic issues with high notes began at the end of that song
- for the rest of her performance she was understandably struggling to manage the mic and I felt that because of that she couldn't really get emotionally into the songs which was extremely unfortunate
- I really had zero issues with the setlist up until then (except wishing some of the transitions had flowed better) but the vibe/energy went massively downhill with Bartender/Chemtrails/The Grants (I say this as someone who loves all of these songs, but there's a time and a place for everything!!), I think modifying the rest of the setlist like below could have worked wonders while not being too unrealistic
 
- LOVED LOVED LOVED Candy Necklaces with Jon probably the highlight of the show for me. he brought exactly the energy that was needed and their improv/adlibbing was so satisfying... Lana's vocals always shine on this song and tonight was no exception despite the mic issues.. also the pole moment..aah.. 
- also loved Billie's part it was so wholesome <3 even if she kind of ate Lana up lmao
- I like the idea of the hologram / SNL reference and I like Hope as a song but I'm not sure we needed that to eat up so many minutes allotted time for her to do an outfit change to perform two more songs.. also did not care to see Jack play piano
- the ending still felt a bit abrupt to me on my second watch, the theatrics were fun, but I really don't think Y&B is a song that winds down the crowd or wraps up the set too well
- overall she could have done less of pointing the mic at the audience, at her own shows sure we love to scream our hearts out, but maybe not entirely appropriate for Coachella... or at least I can understand why many would find it weird
- she really kept her composure well despite the sound issues and gave it her best!! feel so proud of her
 
All in all I'm very glad that we have this in HQ and it had many memorable moments which I'm sure we'll look back on fondly, even though I can't say it has become my favourite Lana performance! Also it's the way a week ago I wasn't even expecting anything particular from this lmaoo.. the way we collectively egged each other's delusions on here over the past few days needs to be studied by sociologists. But it wouldn't have been half as fun without you all 
 
Hoping there are no sound issues next week and Lana enjoys herself!!! I will be tuning in with excitement!! 
 
 
 

Anyone else disappointed she didn't preform any unreleased songs at Coachella last night? The sound check teases got me 

let’s start manifesting bartender.. the reverse psychology 

Hopefully the special guest this time is someone she has actual music with, Like Father John or Tommy Genesis. NOT Taylor Swift, no one wants to hear Snore on the Queef live

Manifesting new setlist including atleast 5 Honeymoon songs and atleat one mention of Lasso
 
 

Without you was the most iconic thing that night. And the motorcade entrance/exit 

I’ve been playing Without You all morning
 
ugh her mind
