Perhaps a clarification is due -it is just that she is so sure of what it is that she wants to get across -that she will deliver it right to you.With her band, or solo ,as on this song.She commands the stage to convey this bleak portrait of a figure at the end of their rope ( all too familiar on the evening news aye ?.)PJ 's particular gift as a storyteller is getting all the more rare.
F'ing magic. Raw rock and roll. Yes, I love the studio version and the live version on Later of this great song. But this is another level of performance that takes guts and self-belief. Go Polly Go, indeed!

Ummm...I'm a little out of step here. I would be real disappointed if I paid money for that performance. Her album Stories from the City, Storie from the Sea is a classic. Maybe she has a hard time recreating her sound outside the studio?

Thanks for the chance to revisit this, I have now seen plenty of PJ Harvey's videos live and otherwise and she clearly has no problem recreating her music live. She is a fantastic live performer. Although I have not had the pleasure of seeing her live. Still, I find this video to be disappointing.
I assumed you were a new PJ fan. lol I believe live performances are always more interesting than the studio ones. Doesn't mean it has to sound exactly the same. Then what's the point? lol
PJ was dylanized in this one.

What the fuck?! I always prefer her live and Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea is her weakest album, but still brilliant.
