    Are you kidding me
    We finally get signed stuff but I missed it bc I was sleeping bc I stayed up all night watching Coachella
    ETA: according to reddit it sold out in like 3 minutes so I wouldn't have gotten any anyway

    it’s a placeholder. They never went live in UK or Germany - but may soon I think. US took 45 minutes to sell out (limited 1 per customer + captcha) and Australia took about 15

    I swear they’ve released 3 signed vinyls on her UK shop. I was refreshing and as soon as it appeared it was already sold out. And then 1 minute later it changed from sold out to not available, which makes me believe that none were actually available and this is all to increase the hype around the release.
     
    as much as I love Taylor, this is not cool.

    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...

    That's why I think that maybe they originally planned to sing blue jeans at this point. Would also be suitable in combination with A&W

    The only thing I don’t get is why she changed her outfit at the very end just to sing A&W and Young and Beautiful 
     
    she should have brought jack out like mid set and done the hologram/outfit change then

    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.

    SNL dress was Moschino Spring 2012!

    I hardly understand she changed the dress only for this short ending. Do you think it's possible there was supposed to be a piano version by Jack of Blue Jeans with her singing it? Her 2nd dress looked like a reference to SNL live, too. It was so strange Jack was only on stage for this holographic performance.

    Anyone knows if the original SNL dress was D&G, too?

    Exactly what I thought. Since they so obviously referred to SNL, I waited all the time for a blue jeans performance in the same style. I wonder if it was planned but she then spontaneously skipped it because of her nervosity. 
     
    However, with this kind of criticism addressing promotion, they should have done it a bit differently, showing her full range of vocal abilities

    interestingly, Billboard compared the set with a Gatsby Mansion, and I think they're right

    The jazz outros sounded so familiar does anyone know what songs they are? The struggles of liking jazz is you can’t google lyrics lol.
     
    Also- the tunnel video! We need to find the original!

    has anyone else noticed how well "hope is a dangerous thing" with lana's hologram replaced the first part of A&W? you know, before the "jimmy jimmy coco puff" starts, she sings "I'm invisible, I'm invisible, I'm a ghost now" and also in hope she sings "calling from beyond the grave", and I think that's why they used the hologram

    I think she should just perform whatever songs she wants to from her catalog, which is pretty vast at this point, even excluding unreleased material. I wouldn't want her to sing Video Games or Summertime Sadness because fans expect it. We should want her to be true to herself and what she's feeling in a given moment, even though I'm sure the setlist is established in advance. 
     
    At this point, she's almost like Tori Amos in regard to the size of her catalog; so if Lana were to sing two or three of your favorites while you're at her show, I think you have to be grateful. Like most artists, she's probably going to do more material from recent or new albums than older ones.

    So apparently at some point during the set the keyboard broke and also hadn’t been tuned correctly & ofc issues with her mic and ear-ins, reported by Jen Stith’s sister who heard this from Jen x

    It was a mixed bag, and I'm still processing/rationalizing it. I couldn't see the live cause it's way, WAY past my bedtime, but I was grateful to see it on youtube, in a priveleged seat relative to the average audience viewer. Her singing's nice (when she's not fading) and she's killing the Jessica Rabbit look, imo. The sound guy obviously had problems keeping up with her vocal dynamics and couldn't handle when she's soft and then increases volume. LDR's singing style is definitely of a past generation, but even that generation didn't sing that way (e.g., Ella and Billy -- the other Billy -- had much more power). Her energy levels also seemed intentionally markedly depressed at times, as if it were way, WAY past her bedtime too. However, I can spin/rationalize that as a new kind of somno-style (to go with narco-swing and others), so that she and her songs, are meant to be perceived in a hypnogogic dream state, with the subdued lighting (and images) helping that. That Baptiste showed up was understandable for this concert, and I liked their interluding better than the album's. However, when Billy Eilish came on, it was like "holy shit, I really must be dreaming this stuff", and I liked that part very much ("get out of my fucking face", lol). I'm just guessing (any opinions?)... Antonoff did essentially a "live solo" with a hologram of LDR, singing what I imagine to be the original vocal stems (?); at any rate her singing seemed different from the rest of the concert.  The hologram technique is usually done with dead artists (e.g., Tupac), so LDR's appearance, as such, was unsettling. Her morbidity game is certainly on point with that, even if it's the ghost of a past performance. Liked the Young and Beautiful outro and its horns. In sum, maybe her ambition exceeded her execution a bit, but ambition is still the most important thing for me. It will be interesting to see what her second performance will be (as in identical or with switch ups, or maybe she might do the same stuff a bit more amphetiminically, without the drugs, of course), though I doubt they'll stream that too.

    can anyone help me figure this out lol- i also can’t tell if it’s intentional or was a sound error but as she says “notepad” in hope it sounds like a gunshot?
    but that could literally be delusion and a speaker falling over or something can someone listen back and let me know what they think lol
