By Friday morning, long after the semis and tour busses had rolled on and new ones were on their way, there was a queue of people - three or four deep -- that extended from the entry gates of the Bill Graham Civic to the crosswalk leading to the grand stairs of City Hall across the street. The fervent level of anticipation for the torchy 27-year-old singer and songwriter from New York -- some three years after she released her breakthrough single, "Video Games" - was a little unexpected. [...] the scene inside the auditorium was thoroughly nutty, as thousands of Lana-be's in their flower crowns and cutoff denim shorts jostled for prime space up front in the otherwise spacious room. There were tears, bloody fistfights and a constant stream of limp bodies gasping for air pulled out from the crush at the barriers at the foot of the stage. The set was brief (one-hour-and-15-minutes, no opening act and no encore) and barebones (the stage props consisted of just a couple of plants, large wicker chair and a diminutive video screen).
