This is so freaking awesome. This song is so perfect as it is. Damn.

[123canutopinchone]

[051163able]

MELANCHOLY!

[birdsofpassagemusic]

♥ ♥ ♥

[AdaraMarkz]

i get so randy when listening

[bowienirvana]

the best band in the world

[EyeOnTheTV]

Batman? Been playing Portishead videos in a playlist ... My ears perked up at 3:08. Sounds just like the Danny Elfman Batman theme.

[jamileebest]

Still bringn goosebumps after all these years! Simply Amazing!

[sadge85]

this is real music for the new intellect

[AlohaMia]

I say 1:29 = chills

[MarkusAudio]

possibly the best from "portishead", fighting with "over" :-))

[qwooshbag]

and i...

[Encrisisx]

awsome

[yahalen]

portishead lo mejor de lo mejor......buena onda de parte de mexico y latinoamerica.....una de las mejores bandas.

[gogec2007]

oh how i love this song!

[qtxal]

si vengan aka......!!!!!! i love portishead! dx

[ojosalsur]

los queremos en LATINOAMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[ikkycl]

Espectacular, siempre fieles a su elegante sonido. ¡¡

[Isra1289]

simplemente extraordinario!!! sus composiciones... su estilo... su energía...

[eldesgastadofinalde]

a mi tambien se me ponen de punta los pelos del cuello como canta beth esta cancion.. y el sonido de la banda casi oco una banda sonora de una pelicula muy vieja y romantica es como un vino en su punto justo..

[dymfoning]

Their live-shows always seem to be so cool. I'm really waiting for my chance to see them one day.

[ledarkpoet]

I love the base sound in this song...i cant stop following it during the whole song..its just outstanding!

[DietervonLust]

Evidently my favorite Portishead song. This is just awesome.

[dudefella123]

when she starts the "I'm reaching out in this mourning air" at 1:04, my hairs in the back of my neck stand up, outstanding voice.

[Stompaholik]

@dudefella123 I exactly know what you mean.

[Sweden80Here]

This is raw, this is real, this is portishead.

[lkathleeng]

first time ever hearing this song.LOVE IT!!!!

[dafrapinc]

hermozo...

[alexilla177]

Sublime song!

[Kenesis27]

Where did you go vague mirror epiphany? You knew and died, your... gone?

[JoseMN]

One of the best bands of all time. I love Portishead.

[NewcieJon]

Me too! Totally chill out.

[Kyasid2000]

Fastastico.... sem palavras

[pucue1000]

BEST!

[pucue1000]

they kicks ass!!!!

[urduib]

what what ,,, this is new ...

[threadpusher]

possibly the most centered and soulful group to graduate from the category of electronic or trip hop....there so much more layered. The sound has become ubiquitous...Long live P Can't wait for P4.....check out Radiohead Cover "The Rip" on you tube amazing.

[nagysebestyen]

flashback here. there? XD

[narekasadorian]

portishead is brilliant

[assandthem]

If you like or not that's Portishead style. Very moody way. Different but catchy, i'd like to listen Beth to sing blues for once. But in major key.

[fluxaconcapacitor]

oh god no... it wouldn't be beth then.

[angelforfreedom]

Makes me feel like doing drugs again :)

[Edyta504]

Hmm is she sing by throat?

[Marrousshka]

This song takes me to another world.

Great to dance on.

Very sexual!

[paganpoetryb]

Trip-Hop, Bristol, who cares, they're so amazing!! beth, barrow thanks for give all you got.

[bjuna]

trying hard and whats the result? : EMO

[Guilhekos]

Did u say emo? i think this band is very far away from being EMO, emo sux, portishead don't do.

[oneplusoneequalsone]

^ totally agree with you there. Emo does suck big time and Portishead are great.

[Haddix11]

wah. Love this song

[unfunkit]

this is my favourite portishead song. this is soo...:D

[kenshin2117]

Dark?

[unfunkit]

Damn good

[lafille7]

They are great

[hellaweaknodoubt]

My dream concert...Portishead...and opening?...GWAR!

[lazer59882]

gwar is fucking garbage

[hellaweaknodoubt]

And that was fucking insightful.

[ospididious]

GWAR is AWESOME! You just have to look at them from the angle of a Saturday morning cartoon with adult themes. Not to mention, I've never seen a band explore so many avenues of music in one career. They've done Punk, Metal, Jazz, Lounge, rap, comedy and even country. Most of those all on one album. But if you don't like them, that's fine, more for me...

[TerentiaWillsomethin]

oooh gave me chills.

[jspitz]

One of the few bands that sound better in concert than they actually do on record (and that's saying a lot since their albums are the sh*t).

So can't wait to see them this year.

[effects69]

hell yeah! well said Pitz! :D

[RuedigaSocke]

yes, portishead and björk and perhaps radiohead, but who else??

[walkup15]

My three favorite bands right there...they all need to get together and tour!

[RuedigaSocke]

Or always at the same festivals. :)

[sune108]

Favorite Portishead song EVER!

[writer4peace]

As fine a band as there is. And Beth Gibbons' voice ... a sweet twisted bit of heaven! Thnx for posting.

[sebamanson]

portisheaD tiene algo tan UNICO!!!

nunca he encontrado nada parecido en ninguna otra banda...

es esa voz tan singular,tan pura y tan libre de felicidad...mezclada con esos sonidos tan dramaticos!

wow

los amo

[tommyleejohns]

esta banda fue mi soundtruck del año 1998...

[proce1979]

simplemente la mejor banda de trip hop del mundo !!!!!!

[Pauluk33]

dam fine band, one of the best U.K trip hop bands. Cant wait for the album, the vinyl for me

[RowanSpry]

wow. triphop on vinly.

apart from massive attack, could you spare me a few names of other triphop bands.

[farco27]

Well my trip-hop list is composed of (out of portishead of course):

The Herbaliser, Terranova, Tricky, Morcheeba (Big Calm and Who Can you trust albums only), EZ3kiel, Bonobo, Archive (w/ Londinium album only), Crustation, Earthling (another pure trip-hop band), Sneaker Pimps, Wax Taylor

[mrmukura]

Rootless, Attica Blues, Animals on Wheels... most of the early pussyfoot records stuff would pass too. not to forget the early ninja tune acts like 9lazy9 or amon tobin

[DjBeastieBas]

The first album of Hoover(phonic) is also a great triphop album. The rest of them is also very good, only sometimes less triphop. The title of the first album is 'a new stereophonic sound spectacular'.

[terrycaineleluismire]

tricky, some of plays played by "goldfrapp", but tricky is the best...

[kurtisblow3000]

not anymore. but once.

[rhapsodyphantom]

Sorry but Tricky is probably the most overrated artist labeled with Trip-Hop music. Nothing personal against him, but his music isn't as mindblowing as his contemporaries...Portishead, Massive Attack, Bjork, even Morcheeba.

[vman33432]

i wish they made more albums then they did.

[urmomsuckedit]

New album will be out in April 2008!

[ChewingGun]

I hope, portishead was always a very very special favourite band of mine

[h2opoloattacker]

Oh Beth your voice, your beautiful and haunting voice.......

[h3pkatt]

/shudders knowing this same lasting thought.

[mjacyna]

evil and beautiful

[mjacyna]

sorry for spelling

[khoris]

love them!

[Stingertough]

This is music at its best.

[SwtPoison7]

That's Funny How Alot Of Ppl Don't Hear Quality In Music,,I Feel Sorry 4 Them,,They Like This New Crap Thats Around Now And Put Older Bands Down Screw Them, Portishead Are Awesome,Liked Them From The Beginning And Always Will.Beth Gibbons Voice Is Amazing.....

[jcl424]

totally agree

[bjjplyr1]

i think people are entitled to their own opinion,oh and by the way your a fucktard for feeling sorry for them...

[Anaximander30]

it is simply a spell

[hahahahaha23]

o and one more, beth gibbons voice and the bands overwhelming sound is pretty bone chilling in person, you dont really feel like dancing per say, its more like enjoying the sensation of existing with music as your only thoughts

[hahahahaha23]

plus, these blouqes are clean as the virgin mary

[mrpopalo123]

I'm sure Beth Gibbons smokes more than just cigarettes routinely...

[hahahahaha23]

ecentric musicians often have trouble 'moving' when performing, take a look at any esoteric performer, they usually got distinctive physical behaviors, theres probly no way this chick could be dancing and still sing the way she is, if she did, bad things could happen

[Menhiria]

i guess u're right. never looked at it from that perspective. that's true with most of the eccentric musicians/singers.

[poopsquirril8]

i think stillness kind of represents the music visually anywho, that or maybe a mild sway, its relaxed and makes me feel like floating away, she should just float there and sing

[poopsquirril8]

i think it takes more courage to just stand there and sing sometimes because movement is an outlet for nervousness. though it could be viewed the other way around i still think when artists stand still it puts more focus on releasing energy through the vocals which makes you feel the music more in my opinion and i'm a very visually oriented person so you would think expressing energy through movement would do it for me. but then again i dont like bands for what clothes they wear either.

[Menhiria]

l don't like bands for what clothes they wear either and i totally agree with u. about the release of energy- u're definitely right. but still i get bored at a performance if the musicians or/ and the singer don't move during the entire show because i like eventually energy and movement.

[adyor]

maybe Beth could jump threw a hoop and shake a toy infront of your face so you can stay entertained!!!, lol j/k had to say it, it was asking for a rebuttal.

[inflames32927]

are you joking

[Menhiria]

to all the people that slagged me off, i have the right to criticize some band or some musician if i feel that's justified.

and l actually know quite enough about Portishead, l adore their music and l admire them very much. and there's nothing wrong with some criticism, if u don't criticize, then ur blind. P:

[jcl424]

Totalmente excelente

PORTISHEAD lo mejor por siempre.

[yageman]

Sorry she didnt dance like a stripper, you moron. They are all moving. They are musicians, not strippers. They would dance if they felt like it.

They would act like they are more into it if they cared about fans like you.

moron.

[Menhiria]

l don't want them to strip, you egghead. what l would want is for them to express themselves more,to express feelings and l'm not refering to the musicians so much but more specifically to beth who never moves.and u're a moron if u think that they shouldn't improve themselves. P:

[Menhiria]

very good music but very lousy performance, how about moving on stage?!?! l've never seen such a bunch of static trees not willing to move before! and the singer doesn't know how to perform, just shut her in the recording studio!!

[esy87]

dude go fuck urself thats more amusing for u

[69boy17]

how do u want them to move, can't u hear the song, its not a song to be jumping off the walls.cleraly u know nothing about porstishead moron

[HotRatsAndTheStooges]

I like that she just stands there. Who would want to see beth gibbons dancing around?

[sirstranger]

Beautiful!!!!

I love this song... I love Portishead...

[Mature]

to believe that this is LIVE is just outstanding.

[lennoxido]

????

[Leidenspfad]

Oh man I love this band! So creepy, yet so sad and fragile.

[jcl424]

cachè music forever !!!!!!!!!!!

[carlotta8]

passionnante chanteuse et bon groupe

[isaiahheaden]

[ronito2007]

Excelente canción... Aguante Portishead!!!!!

[nailser]

[briosn]

[rawrbrad]

i absolutely love this song. :D

brad

[sionfeeling]

idk...i like glory box a lot more... oh yea - if anyone has some time, could you check us out? We're a newly formed band, and we're looking for feedback on a few of our early songs. You can find us either by searching "Gecko State" or by clicking on our channel (and we'd love to hear how we're doing). Thanks.

[richrainman]

your band sounds pretty good

[richrainman]

I only just starting getting into portishead, how long have they been around?

[Vaforever]

been around since the mid-90's

[caterina84]

they confirm the passion for good music and the quality of textes... a real good audio for this live performance!!!

[StefanSkates]

Sorry about that comment....my older brother goes onto youtube with my account and leaves comments...

[RLhockey203]

they are not "fucking gay" they are "fucking awsome" lets see you do better

[etkar]

a Huevo a mi tambien me hubiera gustado estar ahi en el concierto fumandome un churrote de pura chronic... oh si. es bonito soñar

[Ravlei]

Then why watch the video or comment? And I'm sick of ignorant people using "gay" as an insult. Grow the fuck up.

[goldiecox34]

I think you meant to say they are fucking Gay as aposed to "there fucking gay" I think you will find that is gramatically incorrect, aswell as an admission of bad taste.

[Masterhobo]

your brother is quite obviously an illiterate twat

[Cinlophan]

que hubiera dado..por estar en uno de sus conciertoss..!!

[chachaofraises]

J'aimerais tant les voir en concert... <333

Une de mes chansons préférées d'eux...

love Portishead. They are my favorite group.

[rrobinslam]

[DivaXMachina]

god i wish they would tour again, saw them in 1998

[stephie333]

I saw them in Montreal, it was the single most amazing experience of my life.

[maeab]

all..all...all....all...is perfect!!!

[optionthis]

[amarxel]
