I'm think I'm still in shock after the Gov Ball performance. Seeing her less than 30 feet away from me in a festival environment was a dream come true.
Serial Killer is now one of my favorite Lana songs, that performance sold me.
USA – Critics have lavishly praised Lana Del Rey’s three-plus-octave vocal range and uniquely emotive delivery, but within the context of a band on a big stage, the task of ensuring that every sultry whisper is heard can present its share of challenges. Thankfully, Escondido, California-based touring sound provider Sound Image tapped the right tool for the trek: L-Acoustics’ K1.
Currently out on her North American “Endless Summer” tour, along with opener Courtney Love, Del Rey is wowing fans in sheds each night on a K1 main loudspeaker system, with K2 outfill arrays flown as needed in wider venues.
It’s a sizable rig – one well suited to a big band and a rising star on her first headlining tour. But while L-Acoustics’ K1 can certainly whomp with the best of them, this system is equally adept at treading lightly, never missing a note nor losing the emotion of a song.
"This is my first time touring with K1, K2 and Kara, and I’m having a wonderful time with it,” enthuses Max Bisgrove, Del Rey’s FOH engineer. “It gives me superb vocal clarity, headroom in spades, excellent coverage and packs a serious punch when called for. I would recommend it to anyone and will be requesting it again in the future.”
Bill Price, FOH system tech for Sound Image, notes that the biggest potential battle on this tour concerns the amount of low end on the stage. “Lana is a very discreet vocalist, very self-conscious about how she approaches a microphone,” says Price. “What we want to do is keep the low end around her, but nowhere near overpowering, to give her a lot of space on stage, yet keep plenty of bass out there in the audience.”
That’s accomplished by flying L-Acoustics K1-SB subs with the main hangs and time-aligning them to push the low end from the hangs out to the sides and rear of the sheds the tour is visiting. The muscular set-up of SB28s stacked on stage in a cardioid configuration gives the sound the low punch it needs, keeping it in the crowd and off the stage, leaving Del Rey’s voice plenty of room to sigh and soar.
I really want the lighter and lyric book they are selling at the tour stops.
Me too. Since no one helped out with my tour merch question, I did some searching and saw pics on Tumblr. The lighter's $20 and someone posted that the book was $30, so I'm putting aside for them. I want a shirt too tho.
I might wait for when they're in her store or something to order though cause I'm only taking $200 out for going out Saturday night and drinks at the show. Plus gas.
If you're not going I believe some are already selling their merch on eBay and similar places.
the next time we MIGHT expect some news is her birthday!

There are some websites that make Lana t shirts which in my opinion are better than the tour ones!
and yes the lighter is 20$ but I think the book went from 30$ to 40$ due to high demand.
I saw her last night. It's amazing how far shes come in just one year. This was my second time seeing her and she honestly looked like she was having such a good time last night, she seems like shes in a good place right now. The traffic was awful, I had no idea Lana could pull that big of a crowd. Honeymoon is going to be huge if her label gets her promo (and Lana agrees to do it). I wanted to buy the lighter but I got inside just as Grimes was finishing because of the awful traffic so I didn't have time to go to the merch stand.
I'm so mad about the tour merch. I didn't buy any in Tinley Park because the line was huge and I thought I was going to the Michigan show the next day but then I couldn't make it, and now I thought I was going to make it to the West Palm Beach show on Tuesday but the person I was going to buy an early entry ticket from sold it to someone else so now I'm screwed and would have to pay hundreds for the lyric book on eBay (not going to) and it's impossible to find that beautiful sublimation shirt too
Why can't she sell merch on her online store like a normal artist?
I saw her last night and it was so perfect I had pit and i was about 3 rows from the stage she had on a red dress and looked so hot omg
She replaced YCBTB with Ride...and i was like the only person who knew UATW, the 2 girls in front of me even asked me what song it was these fake fans dont deserve to be front row
