That's my impression too. She dosen't seems to inhale the smoke in her lungs she just puffs the cigarettes with her mouth while she handles awkwardly the cigarette. Bad for her health nonetheless. Someone asked about this: why would someone pretend to have a sin? I think that this is a defensive mecanism of hers, to reduce her anxiety, that she developed during her relationship with Barrie who is a heavy smoker. I hope that she quits smoking altogether

I don't understand these critical posts about Lana at this time. She said last year that she had a follow-up idea after UV, she said that the album is almost ready and then she spilled the release date which is September. Nothing unusual or inconsistent here she didn't break her word yet. We should be proud of her because she is finishing successfully (bar that technical issue at the GovBall) a big arena tour which is quite a feat. Her live performances are giving me hope that she'll be a consistent good a performer from now on. I want new material from her but I'm not bummed that she didn't performed songs from HM on her tour because this is a sign that she has a plan for the HM release. She never said that the first single for HM will come out this month so we have to wait patiently for that.
 
I observed how mature she looked on this tour. The poppy, youthful Lana is gone and we have a serious (still beautiful) woman instead. I cannot associate a HM pop era with Lana's image at the moment. I'm more convinced now that a more artistic (UV like album) is the right way forward for her even if she'll not regain her BTD era popularity and commercial success. So I don't expect any BTD level hype around the HM release but at least a couple of TV appearances and good videos would be nice from her.

maybe they never meant to promote ultraviolence from the start? the label obviously realized how talented she was; not just from BTD but from AKA and all of her unreleased work. they (along with all of her fans) realized that she could literally do any genre naturally and do it well. so they saw her as more of a long term investment. i mean, the bitch writes most (if not all) of her own songs, harmonizes some of her own melodies, and even has a knack for the visual aspect too. most artists can't even do 1 out of those 3. on top of everything, she's probably as marketable as you can get in terms of that face (alone). so much so that it actually caused a backlash against her credibility. so they had to churn out something ~inaccessible~ to fend off all of the retards before they could move onward, financially. and since honeymoon is apparently similar to BTD in terms of sound, i'd assume they insisted on something more palatable so they could promote the absolute shit out of it? 
 
seems like a convoluted, yet reasonable plan tbh. unless its just a coincidence that her first single is supposed to drop during the same month as this new service (which i can pretty much assume isn't going to flop) 
 

I was in the second row in the VIP section and I could hear her fine throughout the show. There were a couple times where her voice seemed to get drowned out and the recordings on my cell phone don't do justice at all to how I was hearing her, but for the most part I didn't have issues. A friend of mine who wasn't VIP was towards the back and said the sound quality was horrible so she left halfway through to see The Black Keys. It was clear that the problems were from technical difficulties though.

Hello!! Okay so i was at governors ball, I waited from the minute the gates opened at barricade for Lana and the stage was having problems all day, a-trak's set was shut down in the middle bc of technically difficulties and he resumed 10 minutes later, I think Lana was mad about that, and scared that it might happen to her? I don't know. She started tearing up at one point it looked like she was about to cry, she also skipped Do Right and Us Against the world, but she ended her set early, she did them in atlantic city when i saw her there the night before. Regardless it still was a really great show she sounded amazing from the front but i have no idea about what was happening with the people in the back, I'm really happy and greatful i got to see her twice this weekend.

one of the other issues with festivals is that musicians have to adapt to the festivals' sound system and sound engineers. when she is on HER tour, her and her team have more control and knowledge of the sound equipment since it is theirs. i wasnt there so i dont know, but this is something i've noticed when seeing bands on their own tours vs. seeing them at a festival - its harder to get the sound exactly the way the musicians prefer. 

Our meltdowns don't mean shit, I'm concerned about Lana's meltdown

Why the fuck is she at these festivals anyway? She's not an entrateiner, you don't have the same control on your set. She's so unlucky. I hope that this will not cause another backlash against her because I don't think that she could take anymore of this shit. This could have consequences on the HM release to. I hope that is not as bad as some peopele's tweets are suggesting 

Our meltdowns don't mean shit, I'm concerned about Lana's meltdown

I hope that you're right and people are just overreacting. I couldn't bear another negative campaign against her

We fans love her, some of us are literally obsessed with her. But why is she forcing this stupid festivals where a lot of people are hating her. I saw the Coachella threads about her: nothing but hate from the indie/rock fans. She's so fragile live, if she's not comfortable psychologically she just cannot control her voice (it happend at Glastonbury where her voice was all over the place). She has to understand something: she'll be never universally loved and appreciated. She have us, this obsessed fandom, but maybe it's not enough for her. Imagine a great show in NY with no press as any of the others ES tour shows. Why isn't any one thinking around her?!

Our meltdowns don't mean shit, I'm concerned about Lana's meltdown

During the entire show, she kept adjusting sound balances (or whatever you call them don't judge me lol). There were some mic feedbacks, but it wasn't too bad. Besides, it's kinda hard to know what to set your settings to without a soundcheck, and obviously it's a festival so Lana couldn't do one. She has been putting a lot of emphasis and effort into her soundchecks to make sure her music is being played the way she wants it to be played.  
She also said something along the lines of "I hope you guys can hear the music well. I know the stage is hella loud." The Black Keys' music was loud and noticeable during some of the quiet parts of her show. I feel really bad for Lana because I'd think that she'd take it personal is people left her show.
 
Overall, I enjoyed the show! She was really into her band's performance especially in Shades of Cool. It was my favorite song that she sang because I love how she has slowed down the first part kf the chorus to optimize her voice! It sounds amazing live! And during the bridge, Lana just closed her eyes and danced. She didn't sing during it, and she just really got into the music!
 
Btw she skipped 3 songs from her setlist: Us Against the World ( I really wanted to her this song, and I'd thought she'd sang it due to its jazzy New York roots), YCBTB/FMWUTTT, and Do Right.

From what I read on blogs it was a sound problem regarding her set. She was barely audible through her set excepting the first rows. It doesn't seems that people are blaming her for this tho

From Billboard:
"9:19 PM: Lana Del Rey's intoxicating voice is barely audible from the middle of the left side of her audience during her opening song, as the Black Keys' garage rock bleeds over from the main stage. Many audience members too far away from Del Rey simply give up five minutes in, and drift toward the act they can actually hear."
 
So that's what happened
