Lana Del Rey - Off to the Races live Manchester Ruby Lounge 04-11-11

[SuikaYOU]

I really like her songs but, I'm sorry, I don't call that good-singing. She hardly controls her breathes. She shouldn't have recorded songs in a tone she couldn't reach without forcing her voice :/

[plenrien]

She could stand to lose a few pounds, huh?

[gzaned1]

@plenrien Wow how terrible. No, she's quite beautiful. But, whatever the case, the anonymity provided by the internet doesn't mean you should be so rude.

[ITHEREONETHATHASNT]

@plenrien LMAO

[MsWorldfan]

Glad I found this video. she's awesome!

[nbuxton7]

WOW - Love this woman

[Enx97]

0:22 the demon wanted to came out.

[realbento]

Fucking awesome song.

[uruga18]

4:10 LOOOOVE!

[uruga18]

The lyrics not found in youtube! WTF!

[motucker44]

anyone else out there singing a song like this has so much vo-coder on it to cover up the fact that the "singer" can't actually sing the song. and there are alot of them out there. good job Lana.

[StJimmyRocks92]

@motucker44 You mean auto-tune. A vocoder is different.

[StJimmyRocks92]

@motucker44 You mean auto-tune. A vocoder is different.

[TOMMYLVTO]

She is such a hard worker. True Talent.



[NamejMarryann]

She need to get some back-up singers

Lana's singing the verses, chorus, lead, and back-up

[popcoolthe]

this version is not so good. Her live voice is not so good.... The studio version is AWESOME!

[konarttis]

Amazing.. the best performance and sound for this song..

[LaserAjax]

Agree this is one of her best performance. I like the simple dress she wears.

[Amyescence]

I love it!

[gurcsik]

lana del rey doing karaoke of lana del rey

[youshotandywarhol]

Sounds better live, believe it or not. She's got a "thing" about her, I dig it.

[Ellllllliiiiisssssee]

I do believe that she's a really talented singer, but I'm so confused, saw her perform on SNL and she was so average and here she's so good!

[CambridgeVegan]

Epic.



[MrJeanSarkozy]

She's so fake... She only impresses the easy-listenners.

[zunxD]

@MrJeanSarkozy you can't even impress anyone, sweety

[MrJeanSarkozy]

@zunxD Aw, someone got hurt because I don't like his new favorite fake artist.

[restless103]

Awesome song. she is just no good live, but I do like her music a lot.

[ejecu]

THIS HAS TO BE A SINGLE!!

[sassysteph90]

I think it's cute how everytime she finishes a song she goes all bashful when they cheer

[PosieDada]

I really like the live version of this, but the album version that I've heard is awful. Way too overproduced, it just sounds cheap. I'm gonna try looking for an album of the demos for most of the songs, like Diet Mtn Dew and this.

[propheiy]

I don't think i would exaggerate saying, that her live-performances are better then the studio versions, cause sometimes they are a litlle overproduced.

[07xxxLDRxxx]

love this girl so muchh

[JoschisMama]

Lana,you are amazing ...I´m in love with her voice and her aura

[michelrome725]

she messed up the lyrics lol ...... not mad tho love her ! <3

[DarkDeadTime]

DAMN the end was AMAZINGGG!!

[sherrydill]

holy goodness, this is INCREDIBLE

[yukieutsumi123]

Amazing performance!!! :D

[sugasweetg]

She looks like she was having a hard time just a bit thought it was odd that she walked off when the band members still weren't done with the song. Awesome song though looks difficult to sing and do chorus.

[mistyhendon]

I've loved Lana for a while. She's amazing and one day everyone will know it - and they'll regret the crap they spewed about her. Until then - she has us. Xoxoxoxo LDR

[joffst]

i wish people who complained about her SNL performance saw this video before making their mind up

[quimbodius]

Bravo!!!

[jorgeeduardodantas]

the best version of this song. perfect!!! : D

[LawrenceZArabii]

Love it... love her... best of the best songs. That's all

[WickedlyToxic]

I like you camera work. fits her style

[xIrisProductionsx]

This song is hard as hell to sing.

[xIrisProductionsx]

Not a back up singer in sight. Talent.

[Evparawhore]

She is a bit wrong, is not it?, Whatever, I don't care.

[FatherOfSin]

terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrib­leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­ee

[xM4ddi3x]

AMAZINGGG!

[elisha007]

4:09 to 4:33 Love that part.

[Naduxaowg]

she's like from the 90's =) Love it

[Vick0n1]

i dont really like her voice in live versions. its so different from the studio's one.

[JMDJR520]

flawless queen.

[HellDahmer]

@maslinutsa031392

you find the studio version on tumblr

[asi4k]

Awesome voice. Great song.

[moofushu]

I can't believe this video of Ms Lana Rey hasn't reached one million views by now. This is by far her best performance of "Off To The Races" out there. She really nailed it in this one. It's a shame her fans haven't found it in larger numbers. Not only are they missing out, but they don't get to see what she is capable of when given the chance.

[orezlyrad]

@moofushu Ha ha, that would be cool. Actually my total views for all my videos put together is just coming up to a million but to be fair this is the one that exploded the quickest getting about 30,000 views in a couple of days. It's just a shame the lighting wasn't better on the night :(

[pmariu02]

@moofushu I completely agree with.

[MarcoValenchino]

@moofushu

Yeah, millions of views in "Video Games" and "Born to Die", people saying that they love her, but they don't know other great songs from Lana, like this one.

Lana, please, doesn't change when u are very famous!

[maslinutsa031392]

Where can I find a studio version? I like the song and Lana Del Rey is amazing :D

[orezlyrad]

@maslinutsa031392 On the album out at the end of January :D

[Joeaparis40]

@maslinutsa031392

it is just out on youtube !

[ModelChic242]

@maslinutsa031392 go to LanaDelRey, it's her official youtube page. The studio version got uploaded yesterday :)

[orezlyrad]

@maslinutsa031392 It's now free on iTunes :D

[Roxiiz9797]

@orezlyrad which country is it free in?

[orezlyrad]

@Roxiiz9797 Free now on UK iTunes and according to her Facebook page the rest of the world from 10th January :D

[Zielonooka1911]

Wielki talent !

[oso7jo7ro]

Flawless! hoes stay mad.

[bendepasse]

she is using everything in her power to become a star, just like Madonna, M. Jackson, Lady Gaga or the unelegant Katy Perry did. If your body can help you going to the top, then go ahead.

[rhgrlehgre]

@bendepasse wtf. Lady gaga is ugly? Micheal Jackson was bread into the music business? DA FUCK? she's hot and has talent. people cant handle that?

[wartimemodels]

great singer. offering something new and unique. haters gonna hate.

[Planet7Station]

@jasminecherry5

Something tells me you're jealous or people who put themselves out there.

[TheTommyTaylor]

@layotaburn Turned out to be a very accurate educated guess. Thanks. 

[TheTommyTaylor]

@layotaburn talking of singers sounding better live than on record, Adele would have to be on that list. But why do I get the impression you aren't keen on her due to her being so popular? Call it an educated guess, lol.

[moofushu]

Orezlyrad did you not record "China Doll" at this show? Others have china doll recorded from their phones and it's really REALLY good. Please upload it if you have it. PLEASE! Don't make me beg.

[orezlyrad]

@moofushu No I've uploaded everything sorry - I wouldn't hold back good footage :)

[moofushu]

@layotaburn Real? What is "real?" This is the wrong venue to have a conversation about reality. Everything and everyone around you is intended only to be enjoyed in passing and not lasting. Everyone and thing has its moment in the Sun, some of us would just like to bask in the Suns rays while it shines. The rest of it is a dark and dreary place... that's why we are grateful for the few things that come along to make this God forsaken place a little more tolerable.

[moofushu]

@layotaburn I don't mean to state the obvious, but PJ Harvey, Kim Deal, and Lana Del Rey are two different genres of music - apples to oranges. Do you also go to Luciano Pavarotti, Clint Black, or Roy Orbison music videos and chew them out for not being this or that? I wonder why someone who likes oranges would criticize apples. Her music will stand or fall on its own. I think she deserves at least a chance to get her stuff out in the open before attacking with feckless criticism.

[moofushu]

@layotaburn First off music industry people will all tell you in-studio recording and stage performance are two different animals. The huge problem with stage performance is you are not alone and are competing with the surrounding environment. You might be 100% right about her past, not debating that. As to her live, your comment came under her "Off to the races" video. ITS FRECKEN AWSOME! If all her live performances are like this I'd like to have PERMANENT tickets tattooed on my ASS!

[bendepasse]

you can always tell when someone is going to become a star. She will be.

[bendepasse]

ahh, Lana......

[bobleone]

@orezlyrad Again, thank you!

[moofushu]

@cocogem23 Most performers on a stage find it hard to hear themselves and she is trying to project louder when the drums and base that she hears around her. Also, she has the wrong mic for her voice. I'm sure someone will realize this and get her dedicated speakers for herself so she can hear herself and the correct mic. She is new and may not have sound stage experts yet.

[452Sunshinee]

00:01 - 00:04

gorgeous!!

[bobleone]

@orezlyrad Thank you very much for elaborating on what frampo56 said. I genuinely appreciate your taking the time to do this for me.

[orezlyrad]

@bobleone No problem :)

[michal0793]

Love it ! Cant wait for the album :)

[wwwcinecoreca]

She needs to get more crazy on stage. Show more emotion. Flap your hands or something. Jump around, crowd surf.

[Mom2Talavera]

When is her whole album going to be available?

[whenchachais13]

@Mom2Talavera next year Feb?

[moofushu]

I drastically under estimated her abilities. She exhibits a far wider range of emotion and vocal ability than I expected. I've heard others use the word "raw" before to describe a good performance. I never really appreciated it's use to describe music until now. This is RAW!

[lsmartins2009]

this is epic !

[rhgrlehgre]

this song is gangster

[HarleyHatesYou]

@jasminecherry5 you're a dickhead.. dont like her dont watch..

[InfestedJM]

You are great Lana.

Be yourself

[Planet7Station]

@jasminecherry5

It's not the X factor. She writes her own songs, you know like, real artist kind of thing.

[moofushu]

WOW  just WOW! she is really good! She has incredible range. Oh she can't be written off as a simple pop princess anymore. She reminds me of how unique Kate Bush was when she first came along. There are not many like her. I'm glad I'm alive to see this.

[ardarra]

@moofushu

Yes... thanks for mentioning Kate Bush! I had mentioned Debbie Harry as she too had great originality but Kate is a great comparison for her vocal style and total uniqueness! LOVE KB btw and yes I am rarely blown away by someone the way I am by LDR!

[bobleone]

@frampo56 Thank you very much, frampo56. I didn't want to bother her with a text about the band because I knew someone like you could answer my question for me And, yes, she's all of those things & more. As for those who were upset by my post, get a life! Thanks again, frampo56.

[orezlyrad]

@bobleone Yeah, what @frampo56 said (only just catching up on comments) the stage was quite dark which is often the case at this venue and the band were pretty much in the background with Lana up front and a large balloon with images from her videos projected onto it (although as I was near the front I was getting more of a side view of that), the show was great and the audience loved it :D

[lelenina2]

Hm, it's got potential...I bet it would sound better as a studio recording though.

[orezlyrad]

@lelenina2 No doubt but it went down well on the night

[ardarra]

Original and FANTASTIC! LOVE this girl... Nothin like her since Debbie Harry!

She's destined to be a HUGE STAR!!! Don't worry about the haters... who cares.. They're soon to be out voted by MILLIONS!

[devandy]

The sound on this is shit, but rest assured she's amazing live - you'll never get a good recording by sticking a mic in the middle of a crowded concert hall and recording off the PA

[orezlyrad]

@devandy Unfortunately nobody will let me plug into the sound desk :(

[Shmi911]

Probably my most awaited album in 2012 will be from Lana Del Rey..

Man. This woman is amazing.

[bobleone]

To those of you who were at her show. Would you please tell me what her band was made up of? Did she have a drummer, how many guitarists & keyboard players (piano and/or electronic), a bass guitarist, how many backup singers (if any), any string players like a violinist or cellist or a full quartet, etc? I would love to know what her tour band consists of. Thank you so much. This info would be genuinely appreciated. I'm a close personal friend & a big fan & would really appreciate this.

[devandy]

@bobleone close personal friend?  then ask her yourself.

[croft28]

sexy voice, sexy song.

[supermodeI]

what are these half deaf hipsters saying rn @ she can't sing? get your hearing checked imo. lana del slay continues to sing live perfectly imo! can't w8 for a studio version/album.

[orezlyrad]

@supermodeI Seems to be a bit of a fashion to be honest - not sure why people watch live fan videos of people they don't like though - must be a masochistic thrill ??

[notmyfriends]

Marry me?

[smith91858]

Her album is going to be AMAZEBALLS!!!

[HarleyHatesYou]

@jasminecherry5 this is good though?

[TeyalisticMusic]

my fav part is from 3:00 and on!

[corndunks]

dreadful

[Maldoror70]

Thanks so much ! Will we see all this gig one day ? ;-)

[ShuichiAmy]

That AWESOME moment when you find out something new by Lana del Rey has been uploaded <3

[naenaeuk]

Was an amazing gig! I was stood right next to you lol

[phil0musica]

@naenaeuk how long did she perform? :)

[orezlyrad]

@naenaeuk Yeah - it really was great and I'm already looking forward to a longer show when the album is released next year :)

[Funnykaplanaa]
