Portishead - Roseland New York
Date undefinedI never really got "into" Portishead in the late 90s. Sure I had their albums and loved the moodiness but never became immersed into them. I was a dabbler.
Picked this up on a whim. Wow. They can do what they do on the albums live. That, to me, is the ultimate proof of a band's talent. Not only do the songs sound fantastic, there is something about seeing them performed live that enhances them.
Seeing Adrian Utley playing the theremin, Geoff Barrows do his scratching on the turntables, Beth Gibbons clutching cigarette in hand while wailing into the microphone while a small orchestra performs alongside them is a kind of a surreal cool. No posing here, just that Portishead mystique.
I get it now and am going to go swimming in Portishead.

Date undefinedThis DVD has it all: Great set list, great sound quality, music videos, low price!
I first owned the CD from this concert. I fell in love with it and couldn't wait to buy the DVD. $12 is a great price too! I was surprised how many songs are on the set list. The CD only has 11 tracks, while the DVD has 16 songs and 8 music videos! Also, the 5.1 surround mix is great! I expected just 2.0 dolby surround because it's from the 90's. Gibbon's voice is so clear and crisp! The whole mix is great! The video is a little grainy (sometimes on purpose with old cameras) but it doesn't detract from the concert. Very happy with my purchase!!!!
