"The girl can sing, and that should never be questioned," says Toon Heylen for Knack.be. "The perfectly executed choreographies, the look in her eyes... the phenomenon Lana Del Rey makes you feel something special." Heylen praised Lana's "seriousness" and setlist ("Born to Die", "High By the Beach" and called "Video Games" a classic), but compalins about her never-changing "poker face". ✮✮✮☆☆
In a more negative review, DeMorgen.be's Door Wim Wilri said Lana played "too aloof" for an audience that was simply not for her. "Melancholic songs like 'West Coast' and 'High By the Beach' immediately make you think of palm trees and warm beaches, but not even the actual sand of Werchter in your toes helped at all," he said about Del Rey's awkward performance. "She played on a stage full of apple trees and two backing dancers, as if it was a theater or a movie," he added. However, Wilri realizes the fact that Lana "had nothing to do with the place" and praised "Video Games" and "Honeymoon" as "nice-listening songs".
✮✮☆☆☆
I thought it was a good idea to list every concert (as Lana Del Rey) in one single thread. If something's missing/wrong, just tell me!

Lana will be fine. Touring is apart of her job description. Why do you think having a few tour dates where she performs for 1 hour would be stressful or take a toll?
Of course the one time Lana puts a great amount of effort into the show, sings really well, has backup singers and choreography, she ends up getting a terrible crowd
i'm happy lana experimented and i wish all sets are like this, im pretty sure we can get more energetic performances just that this wasn't the right one
https://soundcloud.com/triple_j/lana-del-rey-talks-new-album-and-coming-back-to-australia minute 7:33
She indeed looks pissed off or sad idk
that people were not worthy enough for the show, i mean even though the setlist was shorter. I really enjoyed how she somehow changed the show, the new style she gave to the songs, the backup dancers/singer, the choreography and her dance moves
I am glad lana has stepped up her game.. I think she could tell she needed something else.. That being said, back up dancers wasnt it.. If they were just backup vocalists who did some dance moves.. I think that would be fine.. But its like having two different performances at once, plus I think if she's going to go with that, she needs to create a better stage setup/atmosphere. The dancing just seems like too much, to go with the rest of the stage scene and atmosphere are creating. If she had maybe a endless summer or paradise tour-like stage back ground it would be a bit better... But this seems a little tacky.
It seems to me tacky 70's stuff has basically become the era of honeymoon..
I love lana so much! I think this performance was actually pretty good ! Vocally, and she did well with the dance moves from what I've seen. She also handled the shitty crowded reasonably well. I think it was a situation lana didn't foresee.. I feel like the overall mood of the show would have been better if there were more actual lana fans and not just bruce fans
Anyway a better direction I feel would be for her to just go back and invest in good stage scene/lighting effects and get some more people on instruments!! Strings PLZ.. Also be a bit more intimate with the crowd .. I think thats all she needs
