Lana Del Rey. El Rey. 6.3.12


Attended the first of her 3 day hold on the El Rey Theatre. Had the most beautiful date.

The opener was weak. EXCEPT for his partner. She was playing the violin and did b/g vocals. But when she got her verse in?! Her voice?! She’s clearly the more talented one. I need her fucking name!
Lana?! Her live renditions SHIT all over the album versions. So fucking good. It’s safe to say the SNL debacle is FAR behind her at this point. She was lovely and amazing.
Amazing night. Sharing it with my Bestía? Made it all the more special. The love….
