  In January 2009, when Lana Del Rey performed "Boarding School" live, she was primarily emerging as a new artist under the name Lana Del Rey, having just begun to establish her musical identity. At this time, her debut studio album, "Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant," had not yet been widely recognized, and she was still working on gaining traction in the music industry. The album was initially released in 2010 but didn't attract significant attention until her breakout with "Born to Die" in 2012. The performance captures a formative phase in her career, where she was honing her style and exploring themes that would later define her work. Interestingly, the live recording showcases her early, raw vocal style and hints at the cinematic quality of her later music, emphasizing her artistic aspiration even before she reached mainstream success.
