[Phoenixraeleen]

[blackhole522]

Much better than the not live version

[ablazex07]

ok does anyone know how they got beth's wail starting at 3:05 to sound like that?

is there some mic effect added or is that all her.

[converguenza]

@ablazex07 i think its a phaser effect pedal

[ablazex07]

@converguenza o ok sounds insane!



[DudemanofAwesome]

I started this video while already playing the album. All Mine started, and I thought "hey, wait a minute...". Then the vocals started to overlap, and it got weird.

[Traci9988]

I have this CD live.. brings chills watching her do this live.. wow

[toneage7]

eargasm!!

[lunatorrnasol]

a esos 6 que no les gusta que se piquen sus culos peludos

[ljredshaw]

One of the most unique voices in the music industry

[badboyrhythmdub]

I seen a studio rehearsal of this song a wile ago on youtube but cant find it anywhere now. It was from about 97/98 and had Adrian running a screwdriver up and down his guitar to make a spooky noise. It had about two takes. Can anyone help me find it? Cheers!

[jmusicnow]

the best Portishead song in my opinion, and one of my all time favourites. never heard such a sweet & depressing disharmony!

[sten0ne]

her voice...

thats all the comment i ever need to post about portishead

magical...

[TubbzTayloR]

doesnt that bass line send shivers up your spine ?

[HalSamuel]

Jesus christ this was something special. You can see that look on everyone's face who's sat there - knowing they will remember this for the rest of their lives.

[ManilaSyndicate]

One of those songs that can get one soaring to the skies.

Beth sounded good there.

[Deformographic]

Absolutely brilliant. I can't even find the words to describe the brilliance of this show. After watching it on youtube for years, I finally realized that there is a dvd of this. Totally getting it!

[TURBOMAN103]

as a floyd man? portishead live at roseland n,y.c. first class.loved it back in 2000 when a seen it first, up the doors @ jim morrision.......

[TURBOMAN103]

as a floyd man? portishead live at roseland n,y.c. first class/

[thecatspajamas23]

god damn. look at the peoples reactions. Beth Gibbons is like the Jim Morrison of the 90's. i can only imagine tripping at this show. portishead is perfect music for tripping. changed my life and how i listen to portishead, if thats possible to love them more after hearing their first cd, or any of their cds for that matter. anything with beth.

[osufan77]

At 0:50 seconds. Is that seriously Rob Riggle?? From The Daily Show???

[LordCorey]

I wish I could be there.

Are they still performing ?

[figlarzfiglarz]

@LordCorey yes, they still do! 6th of July 2011 i'm going to see them in Poland, can't wait!!!

[sweetarts383]

I listened to Portishead when I was little, because of my parents. I'm older now, I've rediscovered them, and I've realized how beautiful their lyrics are.

[stopmeltingme]

That shit is ill pa.

[peakrider74]

This is for sure a special tune right here! Ultra unique in many ways. The slow motion video goes great with this tune.

[jtarantula3390]

this is epic, goosebumps, heaven, fucking fantastic!

[revolverproducciones]

really great!

[TheMajess]

I dont know many people who like them, but I do so everyone else sucks...

[marywatanuki]

Portishead rocks, and this song, when I listen to this song I feel like it's going through my skin... So soft, sofisticated rythm, yet still very strong... Beautiful... I love this groups so much!

[direngreykyolove]

this song makes me feel high

[bruno2260]

She actually has a cigarette in her right hand @ 3:18, now that's a hard-core smoker!

I can't understand how she keeps her voice.

[BodeVanLot]

One of the most enthralling live performances I have ever heard.

[TheWaynelds]

Beth! will you be my valintine???

<3 <3 <3

[Elidoransgar]

Still their best song.

Smoke that damn cigarette, lol!

[zukuzukuzukuzuku]

EPIC BASS MRAW MRAW!!!1111!!!!!11

[Klitkomandr]

.. the best song I´ve ever heared..

[criticalzen]

dreams hwaahhh! love it.

[bigbigman3]

In the beginning of the song didn't someone scream, "yo, casper!"? Funny and kind of ironically a proper fit for this group and this particular song, that's if he truly said it. I think the song is very well produced!

[sonikgirl]

i think they said "you guys rock!"

[cldscp]

@bigbigman3 hahahaha, i dont konw if he scream that, but now anytime i hear this version, since i read this comment i cant stop laughing

[artstar19]

Thanks for taking the time out to read my question bus.

[Bus3204]

I've heard both this and the studio version of this song for over a decade and always loved it, but *seeing* just now for the first time gave me a new chill down my spine! Thrilling!

[artvandelay13]

Every songs by Portishead is amazing, but this is just one of those ones that makes you stop and go "holy fuck this is amazing"...

Personally I prefer the album version but this is also pretty kickass...

[neoivy]

this smokes the studio version :) fucking awsome

[0lenka]

Anybody is up to do a cover? or perform life?

I am in West Los Angeles, CA

vocalist, piano

[sneakyrabbits]

I love the studio version but this live performance is even more hauntingly beautiful and bizarre......music to drift out into space to

[DeathgrindatOnes]

omg nice!!1

[criticalzen]

This is all the drugs you will ever need without the nasty side effects.

[domasa100]

@criticalzen i agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[osufan77]

@criticalzen

Drugs have side effects!?

[anameisnotimportant]

@osufan77 Life itself is a side effect.

[mtlhedty]

@criticalzen the only side effect i had was lack of sleep. this song haunted me all night long.

[Skute]

@criticalzen You mean you don't get withdrawal symptoms when you stop listening? that's lucky

[Giselle1544]

omg.....damn i'm speechless this is amazing

[DavidGodd]

the happy folks were blind

[jtarantula3390]

UNBELIEVEABLE, this is epic, nothing like this!!!!!!!!!!

BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SomtaLoser]

Wow... this is truly something special!

[0525loki]

Amazing band, amazing song- Beth has a beautiful and haunting voice

[Haddix11]

Portishead changed my life... I love you so much guys

[martw74]

This whole concert was the best i have ever seen, they were better live than there previous recordings!!! Only a few artists have the capacity to interpret and move people live, this band is one of them!!!!

[Valandil00]

That's so true.Portishead is a band that i will never forget!

[becerromaldito]

es exitante y reconfortante ala ves,es una especie de buen viaje atraves de la musica,esa vos que dulcemente taladraba mis sentidos

[helenabonhamcarter09]

wow.. that's all i have to say.

[Tanithor]

This is my winter song.

Beautiful.

[averyms]

I know this is really cheesy but I used to love to walk during the cold fall and winter days while listening to this. It goes with every bit of scenery.

[cocaineTV]

Espectacular!

[Sererena]

One thing I love about this song that's missing from the live version is the barely audible sound of a man counting to 40... but beautiful nonetheless!

[Koyaanitsqatsi]

wow... she screams so hard that her must stay away from the microphone! this woman's powerful voice can make comparison to the tenacious d master exploder!

[spiffyness1]

i totally agree. she might be Jack Blacks Female Alter Ego

[jsmitty88]

In this shit its all effects on her voice.

[mefeline]

those were the golden days

[lumarik]

...oh my god...

[DRIZZY2005]

...yes... this song is perfect...the effects are sick... mind blown...

[japaniskool]

This song is absolutely amazing. I will reserve it for when I do LSD

[Elidoransgar]

Their best song.

[NinaAnneRicks]

When I saw this concert on TV years ago I was glued. Amazing band

[dirtyrosh]

oh my god, the woman is just so amazing.

[okanick]

the best portishead´s song for me...

[camilalpu]

Eu amo isso. ~♥~

[strangeBEEhavior]

My favorite Portishead song.

man oh man, they are amazing.

[artstar19]

This song samples another older song called "The American Metaphysical Circus" by the psychedelic band The United States of America...a very underrated 1967 band.

Portishead did this brilliantly also though

[Bus3204]

I listened to a copy of this song you reference, and WOW, the similarities are amzing!

[jothakape]

No closeup of Beth in this part - probably because she's smoking but the producers want to sell the DVD in the 'Land of the Free' nevertheless. That's what I call censorship.

[sz1a]

I think there is a lot of bad sounding dissonance in this song.. I like Portishead, but something just sounds wrong with this song.

[sz1a]

Actually, this sounds much better than their album recording. I'll take it back :)

[averyms]

I LOVE PORTISHEAD!!! They truly are one of the few bands that sound good live. They are, in my opinion, with Bauhaus, Radiohead, The Cure, Morrissey, Morcheeba, and Sneaker Pimps. AWESOME!!

[RuedigaSocke]

I love Radioheac and the Cure, too!

[averyms]

Cool. I often feel I'm the only one. My other friends don't tend to like the same music.

[RuedigaSocke]

Yes, I know this. But I hear Björk very much, too. You too?

[averyms]

I sooooo love Björk(The Sugarcubes) too!! THE THE is a cool group too.

[RuedigaSocke]

Wow! The Sugarcubes are great and i love everything of Björk, too. Don't know why, but you have a great music taste! Thats cool! =)

[averyms]

Why thank you and so do you. Not many people get my taste. It often changes with my mood. Their are times when I will listen to only classical and then only electronica/alternative and then sometimes r&b but they all have to have deep minor chords.

[RuedigaSocke]

Yes, i understand. But only that you know: I'm 13 years old. I only say this that you know, that not only people over 20 have a god music taste. =)

[averyms]

I'm 31. I'm glad someone so young is interested in the same things I am. I started listening to Bauhaus when I was 6; my sister got me into it. Since then my tastes have truly grown. I miss being 13. Even then I was very nostalgic. It goes by quickly, trust me, have fun being a kid because years from now you will truly miss it. It's hard to believe that almost 19 years ago I was your age. Thanks a lot now I'm depressed:(

[RuedigaSocke]

The time isn't important. If you want to you can be nostalcig now!!! =) You know, I hear Björk, portishead, radiohead, the Cure, matthew Herbert and so on. For example: When I was 4 i heard Portihsead second cd all day long. This was such a great feeling and My fav was Undenied. Now I hear it again and its not exactly the same feeling but its a good feeling. And I think you can hear what you want. I don't know bauhaus so good, but think that they are still great after 19 years, no worry! =)

[averyms]

That's cool. You'd like Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, Tones on Tail. Search for those and you will love them trust me. Oh and Morrissey or the Smiths.

[RuedigaSocke]

Cool, I will search for them. Do you know "Einstüzende Neubauten"? It's a very famous german "punkband" (a bit crazy, I mean a capella and such things)? It's only a silly question. =)

They are interesting I think. I must think of them because you said something from bauhaus and this is a german word, Bauhaus. It menas a house of building.

[nouny2105]

why is this the first time im hearing this song?

beautiful! so so beautiful

[nouny2105]

and that scream is the most chilling scream magnificent

[sebamanson]

If I was in the audience...I wouldn't be quiet

I Would be screming and singing like a fucking lunatic!

I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!!!!!

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!

I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

[etnecivv]

Lucky you! I will see them in Coachella Next Weekend!

[sebamanson]

If I was in the audience...I wouldn't be quiet

I was screming and singing like a fucking lunatic!

I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!!!!!

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!

I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

[knowname87]

one of the best tunes ever

[iancurtis51880]

This is my favorite Portishead song and one of my favorites tunes ever. It is as perfect a song as I've ever heard. Gives me goosebumps every time I listen. Brilliant x1,000

[jdjustice72]

x1000 more. my favorite Portishead song too.

oh, and i love your username... Ian Curtis was [and still is] a huge influence on me --and on the entire history of music.

[richieparadise]

How come Clive Deamer isn't drumming on this one then? Who's the other guy?

[warclass]

That the guy who scratch

[rajha76]

the best song ever!!!

[punknskaluv]

i agree

[Hadleygirlie]

Oh hell yeah!!! This is my baby:)))))

[sidropunk]

[Hadleygirlie]

Who in the hell is clicking the "thumbs down" on EVERY comment (besides 2) on here????..."to whomever"...get a life & find more joy in your heart & quit pulling the "hate" bit! Thx:) Have a nice one;-)

[shwaro73]

I meant 'American metaphysical circus' from united states of america by united states of america.Underground 6os psych classic.Great album if you like that sort of thing.

[shwaro73]

Love this track also.if you like this you should check out 'metaphysical circus' by 60s group United States of America and then tell me Portishead didn't rip it off.

[camoscrawl]

they gave credit on the album sleeve.

[Hadleygirlie]

This song is such a part of me!!! She & I have been friends for a very long time! I still drop a small tear here & there upon listening to this tune. I can't even put into words the way this song hits me! MUA...brilliant;-)

[amicastuzzy]

Straordinario!!!..una voce incredibile!!

[stopmeltingme]

How has this song not been used in a horror film?

[Minute2Dawn]

I don't know why but everytime I heard this song, reminds me of Nirvana...Something dark, painful, grunge...very Cobain!

[Hadleygirlie]

I can see that! I could also see/hear Tori doing a cover of this! She can get VERY dark as well!

[rls4363]

does anyone know what that music is at the end of this? i'd love to find out, if anyone knows...

[MelGibson01]

Just an amaizing MOMENT!

[fkkffk]

perfect

[denythelove]

too good!!!

[antoniopedicino]

astonishing!

[jimmy111972]
