Portishead - Cowboys(Live at Roseland NYC)

[upT3mpo]

Awesome song. Fuck that guitarist for chewing gum like a cow. It's a live performance mate, present a little more.

[Saturaviolet]

oh it's really respectable to play such music irl.

[grimluv2grind]

I hate it when people complain about the quality of free stuff. The audio isn't great, but if it bugs you so much... I dunno...try buying the DVD? Just a suggestion.

[computerblue1]

so fukin evil sounding, i fukin love it!!!

[the71badboi]

i love this song and beth.... her voice gets me high.....er

[elichrome]

why is the audio distorted on all of these videos... grrr.....

[Bewboc]

Otherwise great video series ruined by crappy upload with the audio set too high maxing out-- digital over-modulatng so awful. I wish someone would redo these.

[roberreesq]

without video would be just as fine, although inside it is hard to make out that it's there

[SoundSpurRecords]

that concert was awesome - but tha sound on that vid is really overloaded... just distorted - hope that's clear! much luv n light

[purpleryder]

listening to this through headphones........nearly fuckin deafened me lol

[djvictroladadj]

distortion on the sound much?

[SoundSpurRecords]

@djvictroladadj for sure! the original sounds perfect ^^

[wern03]

Better version of this song

[rick4318]

Portishead: what James Bond listens to when he's getting laid.

[RedZebraKush]

fuck, this song makes me feel so gangster

[cralguar]

the audience is fucking bored

[AdamWaz704]

MASSIVE

[Munchkin303]

Amasing! Very emotional.

[MrTektonik]

very good song, bad upload quality, brrr...

[SuperiFox]

@MrTektonik It adds something to it for me :)

[missSuchashame]

ahh <3

[CMKify]

i never saw the dj using a cross fader. it was like he was pushing a button as he was scratching. what kind of dj mixer was that? ive never seen it before in my life.

[WerewolfMorgue]

@CMKify you mean Geoff Barrow?

[CMKify]

@WerewolfMorgue yes geoff barrow. do you know the answer? or were you just showing off the fact that you knew his name?j/w

[WerewolfMorgue]

@CMKify well, you called him, "the dj"...but no, I do not know. >.>

[CMKify]

@WerewolfMorgue I could of looked up his name if I really wanted to know his name. but thank you, still. I just really wanted to know where he got that darn mixer.lol

[staygo1d]

@CMKify What I am fairly certain of is that all he was pressing was a mute button of sorts. Nothing extraordinary.

[CMKify]

@staygo1d he friggin knows how to use that mute button!

[Okoi05]

It was 1997, how pretty... :] I've bought this CD few days ago, it was lying forgotten somewhere on the side. I'm glaad. :)

[ROBLOXiansRejct666]

0:19 PURE PWNAGE!! :3

[cassiosaurus]

3:00.

Beth is simply untouchable.

[blackozan]

One of the worst recorded sound i yet to hear from Portishead!

Boys, do some filtering on this sound!

It's like a nightmare!

[PcPesinato]

@blackozan -- sorry man but that´s the spirit of the song!!

[mc4words]

i find beth's presence pretty sexy in this performance

[dmb912002]

why is the song im DYING to hear right now.. All Mine... the ONLY one that wont play??? >:(

[MagdaS]

sooo sick! what a dirty sound! i definetely love it!

[jiggerlicious]

Its everywhere - its all around me -- its in the air -- damm its good music.

hehe alot of noices in the mix though

[MutilatedLips]

yo this is imported a bit high on the gain. It's clipping constantly.

On the other hand, this song is incredible. great vocal style

[odinsragess]

Right? crazy distortion

[DamoM3]

God i would of loved to see this live!, Beth seems almost possesed in this performance.

[IAMME000]

@DamoM3 She always looks like that. It's something about her that I've always really admired about her, just the way she manages to completely throw herself into her performance. You can tell she's completely in the music, and means every word she sings

[venomsaul]

Did you feed us tales of deceit,

Conceal the tongues who need to speak?

Subtle lies and a soiled coin,

The truth is sold, the deal is done.

Awesome,,, and it´s live!

[nesssaja]

Legends!!!!

[robsies]

AMAZING! Portisead = One big trip!!!!

[IMENG5]

the greatest band ever

[pelongallo]

3:24 is creepy as hell, I get chills every time i hear/see it.

[tateland1]

Epic voice!

[tdubbleu]

are they still working together? touring?? album?

[trn90]

dude.. they released Third in 2008..

[tdubbleu]

ok player..i just started getting into them seriously recently

[poopydooky23]

damn dey gets off live

[yiommi]

My thoughts exactly

[fbfiveohv3]

how is it possible for a live performance to completely annihilate a studio album? this is what happened here.

[bluechao]

@fbfiveohv3 better energy...some bands are better live than in the studio. It's counter-intuitive for a band with as much electronic stuff going on as these guys, but there you have it.

[deeloused]

Fuck Prince.. he had no control of his crowd.

When these guys played, there was a field of expressionless bodies, leaning back and forth.

The initial impact of their set is what set me into full submission to the music.

Portishead is the perfect band for that.

[Ninof33]

It is a brain exploser. they are grait.I can't never listen to them in the car,I space out and go to another world...

[seeohtwo12]

I always wondered what the crowd at a Portishead concert looks like.

[shameaboutraysins]

i love this i love this i love this i love this

[gyorsvonat]

trip hop, honey, trip hop

[zipppit89]

they were classified as "trip-hop" then, but turntable djing went out of style in the 90's.

[evertovenator]

its sad it did

[ryu0wnz124]

Trip Pop owns! You guys should check out Gorillaz, there good also!

[marvel5knight]

Man those turn tables are crazy. Makes me want to buy them.

[DarKBassisM]

Разрыв мозгА

[martw74]

To listen to them live is amazing, to watch it, is a whole other experience, unreal, I love Portishead, she has such emotion in her voice and it grabs you in!!!!!!!

[shaggy816]

Could this be any heavier? I summise that it cannot.

[KingKannibal666]

this is a Porn Groove....or so I've heard!

[bchbrt]

this song seethes drama,so wonderful

[n66178]

so's your face

[moshpiler]

fuck. that's creepy!

[helenabonhamcarter09]

i think everyone in that room are just in awe with her voice.. it's my favorite live voice.

she is just raw singing talent..

[Tanithor]

Beth is so beautiful, in every way.

[chulk607]

3:26 is fucking AWESOME too... that orchestra coming in like that, so good.

[chulk607]

Furious wall of sound.

[dmagickal]

some people are born and scream talent. <3 portishead.

[JaviDoobee]

holy shit im blowned!

[ladybloodymary]

it's a rough, powerful sound... shattered visions...

fucking perfect!

[HDok]

simply amazing. Pure magic.

[Pyconsolid]

What a freakin' performance.  They are one of my inspirations. This band puts out raw music from the gut and heart. They are so underrated and they deserve so much more.

[alldamnnamesaretaken]

@Pyconsolid They aren't underrated, they are quite well known, sure they should have gotten more air time on music channels, but they got enough, and I'm sure they sold quite a few cd's

[bufo604]

@Pyconsolid I dont think they are underrated at all, they are one of the few real underground-sounding bands that reached success.

[Blackzeppdog89]

@Pyconsolid I think what's cool is only cool people know and appreciate such cool music. Keep it underground, keep it real. The fans are true.

[PigLover69]

I cant believe this is live, it sounds perfect.

[psynok]

shit..... anatrixiazw !!!!! xD just perfect!!!!

[VictorLooser]

I'm flying with their music.....

[ChernobylTaco]

Wow, this is the definition of heavy.

[zDurden21]

I want to marry beth!

[JunkyardGlory]

She's amazing. For some reason, I love her awkward posture too.

[molinaudi]

15 when this was played,tooyoung 2 know.

She is amazing and so are the rest.

[Hashwizard]

Good Ecstasy. Nuff said

[homesickalien64]

this was the best song they played live when I saw em' in Manchester this year

[Donkeytron64]

This would have been an amazing concert to attend. too bad i was only 10 when it happened. oh well, there's always the DVD

[gintare123]

I was seven.

[BarackObamaNation88]

I waz 3

[dragannov]

I waz -1

[gadeia102030]

I was 6.

[zipppit89]

[microbus99]

I was 34. Perfect age!!!

[captaindrink]

This just blows me away

[bestNameICanThinkOf]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting all these videos. Portishead defines cool, and this particular one defines Portishead.

[moujahed]

OMG!!! I agree Kekepol... the instruments sound so much more powerfull live. Ontop of that, you know that's her voice... very beautiful.

[kekepol]

i like this version more than the original i simply love it

[tasty0sand]

i'd totally fuck her

[joefield11]

she would totally not fuck you

[dmb912002]

@joefield11

baaaaahahahahahahahahahaaa ! ! !! ! !!

[aaronjfornarino]

@joefield11 she fucks me with her voice, who needs the physical act?

[MizSerpentina]

I love the black guy in the crowd. Shows he has great taste!

[robojohnny]

why wouldn't he? that was an odd comment.

[dragannov]

and I love people of Youtube who leaves comments like this(if you belive me that was my thought, too, at first sight)

[hannibalsloat]

My favorite portishead song

[zoorop]

The word "EXCELLENT" on dictionary has to have a PORTISHEAD image. I WANNA SEE THEM!!!! PLEASE COME TO MEXICO!!

[sebamanson]

You're really RIGHT!!!!

[DeePsGrrl]

Beth sings with such feeling, fantastic ensemble!

[swarm69]

adore this band epic respect

[mORDABRSL]

beauty

[asa1raser]

i dont say this often, believe me. . .but WOW, this performance is more amazing than the song itself, i wouldnt have thought it possible. . .new found respect

[ALIENDNA14]

Portishead is one of my all-time favourite music groups on this earth. This is the perfect music for getting stoned to and when you're doing some serious creative endeavors - alone. Beth just has the sexiest, most sultry voice I've ever heard.

[Alfarc83]

they ain't boring, they're just not for you. I don't hink they've ever made a boring song...

[andyacho]

Portishead is a enormeus band. I hope they will make other disc. I love this dark voice of Beth Gibbons.

Saludos desde Chile

[ePhilosopher]

noice

[greenlife01]

motherfuckin bullshit....i mean just great....

[Litmussticks]

How can you not be truly startled by this? Witchy, brutal and scary as hell. It does not get much better than this, folks.

[nativebrother]

this is one of my favorite songs, this performance in particular.

[thedude00000]

they are such a great live band and this song is better live

[seraphale]

YEAH! This is the ultimate 007 music! :]

[CrowleyHead]

Totally.

[DaveMoongazer]

oh I love her so much

[CharlieCoats]

Wow. Thats really crazy.

[VatoFeo]

Great band
