Who knew that the 23rd of August would be the best day of my life!? This was the day I got to be in the presence of the goddess herself Lana Del Rey. The night started with a lovely meal with my best friends in Tony Macaronis followed up by some drinks and desert in Wetherspoons. Side Note: Rum Punch Pitcher was enjoyable but got me going after a few sips. As mentioned my 2 best friends were present along with a girl from college who I hadn't seen since I left in June. After a Catch-up and all that jazz, we then got to head to the concert. The Train was packed and everyone was squashed up together. You could feel the excitement on that train. I need to however mention, Flower Crowns and Black Hats were a popular choice of outfit and I didn't sport any of these looks.
We arrived at the Hydro about 8 pm as there was no support act but we had the Hydro Club Passes due to my Dads work, Thank You Clyde Scaffolding, which allows you to sit in the Capital Star Suite before the event. By this point, I couldn't drink any more alcohol because I already had the thoughts of being sick etc. and I wanted to enjoy the concert. Also, The Hydro is an expensive venue so if anyone who reads this is preparing to go and have a few drinks, take plenty of money.
Row A, Seats 160 and 161 were where one of my friends and I sat, while the others sat in C 158 and 159. The 45 minutes of waiting was so intense as I just wanted it to begin. My heart was beating so fast and I already was feeling overwhelmed by the full experience. 9 pm struct and the stage lights beamed and music started to blast. I was in my element.
God, she was gorgeous! She was everything I expected! She brought so much joy to my life.
The Setlist was as follows;
1. Cruel World
2. Cherry
3. Shades of Cool
4. Blue Jeans
5.White Mustang
6. Born To Die
7. Music To Watch Boys To
8. Ultraviolence
9. Change
10. Ride
11. Video Games
12. Summertime Sadness

For me, The highlights have to be Cherry as I appreciate and love that song with all my heart, Born to Die as it was a dream to see it finally performed on stage and Change as that song gives a lot of feels and is one of my favourites from Lust For Life. I can't no mention Video Games and Summertime sadness. After all those years, I finally got to hear them performed in person and it was Fantastic.
Another Surprise was Off to the Races. This turned out to be an amazing finale song and it was just sung so beautifully and her dance was cute. The Concert was everything I imagined.
This Concert was on my bucket list and it's finally been fulfilled.
Thanks to my friends who had to put up with my excitement.
A fantastic way to end Summer 2017.
