Portishead - Elysium (Live at Roseland NYC)

[annasadbuthappy]

The sound quality is probably due to the fact that the pressing's for the dvd used macrovision and that tends to degrade over time

[pooh4taylor]

I can't believe I am finally seeing them in October...it's my gift to myself. I deserve to see such an amazing, emotional, daring, awe inspiring band. I've never heard a song that wasn't absolutely stunning. I am absolutely in love with Portishead.

[Nilguiri]

Shame about the shite sound quality. I'd upload a better version myself but my DVD reader is fucked.

Surely there is a better version out there? I can't find one. 

[Nilguiri]

@Nilguiri

I've found a better quality version: watch?v=Uu-JIq4pZ2A

[ljredshaw]

One of their best ever gig's in my opinion

[stacimix1]

Ive been in love with this music since my ex of three yrs ago introduced them to me

[baolonz11]

A perfect song.

[Benegeserit33]

the best what this fucking world have , is portishead...! I love this band

and she is godness

[Ulisexgang]

What a fucking song!!! Full of power...

[the71badboi]

beth gibbons is the best.. amazing vocal !

[ascetic43]

Who would possibly dislike this? Yes, they're perfectly entitled to whatever they choose to like; I just can't wrap my head around the *idea* of not liking *this*. I'm just confused by it. I'll sleep less well tonight because it will confound my thoughts. It could start an existential crisis and my ego could disintegrate, all from pulling on *this* little thread... Why? Why!?!!!! It's happening.....I'm ok. : O

[skunnnnn]

has anyone noticed a resemblance of 'elysium' to GZA's 'duel of the iron mic' both dope songs of the same era

[hope336]

@skunnnnn definitely noticed that right away. I knew it had a Wu Tang vibe to it.

[PkSage89]

fffffUCKING BLATANT song! I love it! And love the faces of the crowd! Take that you pricks!

[B0BBYD1G1TAL]

this comes in soo hard.. like a Mob Deep tune.

[MrTimbo666]

@B0BBYD1G1TAL rather more wu-tang clan style like those bells you here the wu use it also

[DeeSee25]

@B0BBYD1G1TAL yeah! I always thought that. It has that dark, gritty Alchemist vibe to it.

[hultek1]

This song doesn't make me anything special, but I can't hold my shit together without it. Bad quality tho.

[Chaotickuh]

this song makes me want to beat a man 

[JMurph0315]

Please come back to NYC.......

[psyvala]

You are a bitch girl!! ...the way that U handle the music is pure magiC, I admire U so MUch..i hope that you will be keeping this shit On !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! greeting from ZaC Mex:

[quimerafalaz]

Una más de mis favoritas. Amo este grupo!!!

[verbod]

the sound is terrible :(

[sofiammmmm]

@verbod

yep:(

[Joe22c]

@verbod

I think I'll spring the ~$25 to buy the dvd off amazon as a celebration once/if I get into my desired graduate school :-)

[verbod]

@Joe22c

I have it. It is the only concert on DVD that I watched more than once. (once a year at least). Its a must if you love Portishead.

[Joe22c]

@verbod

Awesome! Quick question from one fan to another: do you know where one might buy a dvd with performances by Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man at Time Festival 2003?

I can find some videos on Youtube but they are rather poor quality.

Amazon.ca has the Tim Festival 2003 DVD but unfortunately it is only 95 minutes long and features several artists and songs, consequently the DVD only has one song by Beth and Rustin Man.

[jbmtiaccount]

ljudi sta ja slusam preko mobilnog vi meni nebi verovali kad neko pretisne vase dugme na telefonu pa prica svasta o vama i o svemu e ja to slusam upravavo

[houstondsg]

This sh*t goes OFF!

[CheepoDeepo0417]

the beginin is so trippy lol

[yolotl00009]

what a beautiful voice!!! and what a felling to sing!!

[slashtickle]

I love the coldness in her voice, especially at 4:08. Great band, one of my favorites.

[piggyandamy]

@violetsun9 From Portishead, 1997

[piggyandamy]

GOD! SHE'S JUST DELICIOUS!

[piggyandamy]

GOD! SHE'S JUST DELICIOUS!!

[natyiha]

beth gibbons is pure feeling!

[artvandelay13]

LOVE the instrumental interlude in the middle... reminds me of To Kill A Dead Man, and driving on the highway in the middle of the night...

[Squooshiee]

Beth and PH are the best band. Invoking love, hate, dismissal , pain , wanting, sorrow, , rejoicing and victory in almost every song. This is the best band on the planet, hands down!!!

[mymorningvodka]

quite possibly the coolest story ive ever heard

[spamjelly5]

@Squooshiee have you heard of Monk and Canatella?

[kekolandiap]

i love her

[TrygviMurt]

all portishead songs make me want to either get very drunk or very high. Sometimes both. I don't even feel like picking up the guitar, I just want to listen to the perfection. Incredible

[radbarij]

Hey føroyingur! I can tell :o

Har er bara *okkurt* við melankoliinum som P hava. Tað er samstundis deprimerandi og lívsbekreftandi.

[teuresstueck]

This is slaughterous!!! The perfect Drama...

[teuresstueck]

What an impressing performance, so much pain and power I'm shocked!!! Better than the Album Version!

[lauritoon]

...and how i despise myself....

[misterbamboostick]

One of the best singers ever. She's so underestimated.

[dymfoning]

Heartbreaking song, like almost unbearable. Absolutely heavenly!

[DavidGodd]

gibbons.

[Haddix11]

oh god, her voice is just killing me!!!!!

[platecaptain15]

Anybody know what kind of guitar the main guitar guy is playing?

[mariallenodegracia]

he's most likely playing a gibson es335.

[cleosole]

[Giaco68]

deepest song ever

[lunkhead57]

she has a fucking powerful voice!

[shobbit]

WHY IS THIS SONG NOT IN THE Live at Roseland CD????

Portishead Know How to make good music, Musical geniuses!!

[shobbit]

I love the guitar work from 5:35 ,,

well throughout basically but that bit is just awesome.

[mymoh7]

sick tune

[serefemme]

This video makes me all tingly inside. I must acquire the DVD of this show...

[2810dragonwick]

she's so fucking hot

[boobitheus]

Why all the hate on Jefferson Airplane?

The haunting qualities of their voices ARE similar.

Bloody hell though, nothing comes close to this. Perfection. God damn.

[jorgemrbubbles]

i hear a song of portishead in a bill toxic video but how it called

it is beging bill toxic

[Nazguuul]

goddamn ...i play this concert everyday

[Gustavopsy]

she kick asses...

damnnnn.... that voice efect give me the creeps

[HERRBERNSTEIN]

This is my fav song, wonderful!

[junkdatfunk]

She kinda sounds like the chick from Jefferson Airplane.

[funkspasm]

whys this comment on -6?

[forestchild2003]

massive attack not bad, but portishead with beth's vocals is just awesome superb!

1.portishead 10/10

2.massive attack 8/10

[jewelc1083]

thanks everyone

[Mozzanista]

lamb and massive attack are "like them" ;-)

But I doubt anyones like them

[7flies4U]

massive attack's good Mezzannine'is great album but nothing better than Portishead! :D

[jewelc1083]

love them, does anyone know of any other music like them?

[iluvmorrissey]

I can only think of massive attack rly, but no band sound just quite as dark and wonderful as portishead do.

[NikosKK7]

try Airlock,Morcheeba,Lamb,and Unkle maybe..similar but of course not the same..cause this is Portishead ;)

[Shalomp]

must be tiring for her to play that same chord for the entire song

[xdhambhalax]

lmao that's just mean

[patsadriana]

fantastic...

[clokverkorange]

Portishead is really underappreciated.

[piggyandamy]

@clokverkorange SO TRUE...AND SAD TOO...

[quen34]

only word.. she's legend...perfect...

this two words S:

[zurazi]

excelente recital.......

[Senrence]

Portishead is great. And omething about this song was really, really great now after having listen to all their gloomy stuff. Roads, humming, sour times.. It showed they're real musicians who know how to experiment.

[pierantozzox]

naguevonada what ei fuckin great!!!!

[h3pkatt]

what do you get when you mix:

-a moog

-some precisely calibrated effects

-a break that you would expect from an eastcost hiphop album.

-and a female who pours her heart right out her throat onto an audience?

[ePhilosopher]

absurdity

[picklejuicehead]

look at her go with her bad self playing the guitar! go beth! :)

[shortcorto]

*0*

the best

[strangeBEEhavior]

Ah! Portishead can lick my feet. And I'd love it.

[apek4ever]

same here! hehe

[carola1985]

my favorite.
