"It's probably a smart move that Lana Del Rey (or her management team, anyway) isn't allowing the press to cover her tour with Courtney Love, which began Thursday night at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. To say the Hollywood “sadcore” singer has had a touchy relationship with the media is putting it lightly, and artists are well within their rights to restrict access that way; in fact, no less than Bob Dylan did it earlier this week and our reviewer Bob Ruggiero paid for a ticket with good old greenback US dollars. Thursday was also the first night of the tour, which surely added a few first-night jitters to the equation."
 
I criticized her team a lot but this is a good move defending her from negatively biased writers that are coming to her show for free and afterwards they are so "confused" about how she's adored like boy band but they didn't saw nothing worthy of that adulation. This is a nice "fuck yourselves" from Lana. I'm hoping now that they are getting their shit toghether from now on

Why is it whack?
You guys always bitch an moan about her not performing her unreleased material and when she performs one her best ones, y'all wish yourselves some Ride, national Anthem and Body ELectric.

"Take that body downtown" Is not bad per se but I deeply hate this for many reasons

I have some negativity to vent out.
 
 
She seems to me stuck in the same "I don't care attitude" that characterized the UV era. I didn't mind that much that she didn't do promo for her work but I was bummed because she canceled her shows and gave those random interviews. I get that she was depressed, I blamed Barrie for that, but obviously Francesco changed little in her, she's depressed as ever, at least so it seems from her public appearances of lately. So I have low expectations from this era regarding videos and performances which is a bummer for those who cannot see her on tour.
 
 
And regarding her upcoming tour I don’t understand who had this “brilliant” idea to put her show in 20.000 venues?! She sounded best with the stripped back sound with strings on the European tour, in small venues where she was mostly surrounded by her fans who loved her and didn’t nitpick on her performance and her voice could fill the room. She loves to meet her fans but she’s seems uncomfortable on stage. Smaller venues were ideal for her: meeting your hardcore fans and singing along with them.
 
But in a 20.000 venue?! There will be 3-5 thousand Lana fans and 15000 casual concert goers who will certainly not like that her show is very short and monotone with no encore, will not like her wanderings in the first row for 10 minutes for taking presents and selfies or her uneven vocals and lack of engagement with the audience. I’m a fan and I can watch her talk silly things for an hour and I enjoy it, but I would never accept an attitude like hers in concerts from anyone else.
 
 
So if she didn't changed her show, frankly with her “I don’t care” attitude I don’t expect any changes, there is a potential that her shows will be greatly criticized in reviews and that will do a greater damage than SNL for her public perception and career.
 
This is shaping up like another forced misstep in her career like SNL was when her management forced her to perform when she clearly wasn’t prepared to take that huge pressure on her. Economically is a short sighted planning to cash in. I would have increased the ticket prices instead and I would kept her show in 5-7 thousand venues. But it seems to me that Mawson wants to cash in (from what I know Interscope it’s not involved in her tour) and he convinced her that this is a good move for her career. Imagine Lana with the cigarette (in her last picture with the boys), where the “I don’t care” attitude is evident, coming on stage and entertaining 20000 plus people. There she will not be worshiped by the audience, she’ll have to entertain those people a concept that she doesn't fully grasp yet.
 
 
I hope that I’m wrong and she'll have a great tour and she'll obliterate with her performance everything that I said and I will happily eat my words

that set is just amazing. that whole metropolis vibe is the PERFECT match for Us Against The World. like insanely so 

I just watched the videos Colacunt uploaded (thank you very very much!) - Lanas vocal performance is awesome and breathtaking, she seems to be more confident than on her earlier tours. And I wouldn't have expected that she's playing unreleased stuff, incredible, it's like a dream come true! (I was at the Marina & the Diamonds gig in Hamburg yesterday, only 70 mins short (but very good nevertheless), and afterwards I told a friend that Lana never plays her unreleased stuff too - and now she proves me wrong, hehe.)

I need her to tour through Europe with this setlist, preferably this year

I wondered why are these old songs coming up now. I think that she needed to extend and break the monotony of her set, so until she can use the songs from HM she'll use her unreleased material. What I'm worried about is that I sense another fuckery between her and her label

from the same account @c__beard: 
 
"Just met her bassist, he said they learned songs from Honeymoon but can't perform them." ... I would add: not yet (I'm starting to get hyped for this tour)

literally laughing my ass off at that pornographic moan @ 3:30 (which explains the extra shaking from that point onward lmao)

A tweet that I received from @c__beard:
"Lana's bassist told us that her record label questioned why she wanted to sing B sides but "she just wanted to"".

This is the riddle of HM isn't it? Why coming out so soon after UV with another album? Possible answers:
1. She wants a new shot to mainstream stardom. She chickened out from performing properly UV because she went "to far". She get embarrassed by her own lyrics (UV, FMWTT). Partially I can include her tour in this scenario but she also needs some good videos and live performances on tv. HM will be syrupy, there will not be any controversy in it, a rather boring afair with some potential hits. 
2. She wants to get out from her contract with Interscope because she wants to be an alt queen, being random and fully integrated in some artistic community. This would explain the UV promo fiasco,  the iphone video, her friction with her label regarding UV and generally her I don't give a fuck atitude wich ended in random interviews and show cancellations. I expect a good and uncompromising album if this becomes true but brace yourself to more randomness.
3. Something in the middle. She is maneuvered by the hyenas around her: the Mawson gang which wants to cash in from her tour and her label which wants to cash in from her commercial potential that she has left. She has no clear ideas going forward with her music: alt vs. mainstream. I would hate this because it would result in a subpar album with no hits, little promo, with minimal involvement from her label and would end up like Tropico tbh.
