we don’t need this energy things are already pretty hard there

I don’t know why people are calling Ride and BTD ballads, those songs are more like anthems, not ballads, and I don’t find the performances for them to be low energy at all the way they are for Arcadia or Bartender.

I really liked the show. She looked beautiful, sounded good most of the time (although we do feel she was nervous some times or maybe she got thrown off by her mic having problems). The visuals were nice, loved the Billie moment, the entrance. 
 

i guess our expectations were, again, way too high, which feels like it’s a  bit of a letdown. 
 

with Lana and her team, we always have to tell ourselves that any phrase could mean two things: « Epic » means great stage, « She’ll perform new songs » could mean songs she never sung before and not necessarily the never-heard-before lead single to a new album, « many guest » mean two or three (including Jack), and songs heard at soundcheck (especially unreleased ones) never end up having their official moment on stage

So nothing actually happened, and she sang pretty much all of the same songs she sings every time she tours?  I’m going back to bed

Hey at least she sang them in a different order

ultraviolence (the song) was really missed I feel like

I think the omission of blue jeans was a miss considering her Snl reference too

i’m actually really surprised, everyone on twitter is complimenting lana, maybe the critics will like it too 

[Jimtheman 381]

She gave us so many iconic moments: the motorbike jealous girl entrance, without you as opener (my favourite), bringing out Jon, two Billie duets, stripper pole moment, hologram Lana, and the unhinged ragtime finish, not to mention stunning stage, hair and costuming… we won at least a little?

Technically, they are ballads. The songwriting is pure balladry. That said, the production slaps on both of those. Ride was produced by legend Rick Rubin, for example. So, they're big and lush, and they do have a rhythm section, so they don't come across as ballads. Which is what makes them good ballads for a festival like Coachella. Same with Young and Beautiful.

 

Now, Bartender, Arcadia and The Grants on the other hand........

exactly my personal love of the songs aside I do feel like BTD and Ride are always the highlight of the “old” part of her setlist energywise 

[Shadowheart 3,813]

its so hard to be a fan of her.. not even say yes to heaven..

it's a personal preference as well but deciding to include Arcadia for Coachella's setlist was a questionable choice..

damn rlly! missed that

Also in 2013 paradise tour, i’ve seen it live it was beautiful 

[Nectar Of The Puss 988]

I think the main thing she’s lacking is the self confidence and awareness that she is the hottest most perfect person to get on stage. Not to compare but for example like Taylor swift or Tate like they know what and how they’re doing it. Last year she definitely had that confidence so maybe next week she’ll be a bit more open
