  • tell me who else does this kind of concerts......no-one

  • @MrStik13 Classy, it's almost like an orchestra concert ;)

  • sex is coming out of my speakers...i dunno how its possible but im gonna go with it

  • What an amazing group fronted by an amazing voice. Hard to believe this is a live recording. Its perfect.

  • A class all their own.

  • what album is this on?

  • @Dominic078 This is on 'Roseland NYC live'.

  • you know when your listening to TRUE musicians when their live album outdoes their studio album....i miss this group with a passion!!

  • @bxbaby8 Are you a poet laureate because you said that beautifully?

  • Amazing how this woman can emote like she's going to cry, but still make you her bitch at that exact moment. :)

  • @juniper30 My thoughts exactly....leaves me breathless every time.

  • 6 NO ME GUSTA¡¡¡??? pobres imbeciles q no tiene capacidad de apreciacion q no les puede gustar esta joyita tan orgasmoca y decadente .........

  • When a band can sound just as good live as they do on their album, it shows you how naturally talented they are. Not all done over by "post-production" shining. Portishead sounds EXACTLY like their albums when they play live. Perfect, flawless.

  • @4ADBear i completely agree with you, but this performance was done with serious accompaniment, keyboards, tons of strings, djs, everything

  • thats genius music!

  • I can't wait Exit and their concert!

  • ¿Trip hop? ¿Have you listened what Beth and Geof think about that kind label? Get over it.

  • your fucking retarded if you dont like anything beth and portishead does ... blow me

  • every time she nails those notes i have a small eargasm

    what a sweet live mix. goes to show what talent live used to mean...

    massive attack live was epic btw

  • SERIOUSLY, DOES IT GET ANY PRETTIER?

  • just lovely, chill and intense! Love it

  • @pablokaminski ...wonderful description!

  • PORTISHEAD RULES!!!!!

  • a powerful mix of genres/instruments/sounds

    love it

  • @huilier00

  • beth Gibbons has no equal....

  • Flip it like that...Awesome tune!

  • first time i heard her i was on my way down from a mega dose yup thats all it took it was all over but the crying

  • damn 5 people must have bad taste in music

  • AMAZING

  • @Rozyonnie

    4 reals!

  • The cake: the amazing composition of a song so well written. The icing on that cake: Beth Gibbons sweet heavenly voice, making my knees buckle whenever I hear her croon. A zillion thumbs up!

  • holy shit.. im fucking amazed..

  • seeing them play this for the 1st time on saturday night live had to have been the best pleasant surprise in over 10 years, or perhaps the entire run of the show even.

    i was hoping to find that version again. i wish i'd taped it

    this song just has an otherworldly melancholy beauty like nothing else i can think of.

    thanks for sharing this version

  • @djgambitron

    try searching for 'portishead only you SNL' on google video. its therre....

  • i found it thanks a bunch! it's too bad the audio is glitched as i would have like to jack a copy. i like the SNL version best. it's a little more laid back & smooth with a bit more of the turntable out front.

  • e che rottura di minchia!!! musica questa?

  • This show irrefutably proved that Portishead, is one of the very few bands out there, that are as brilliant live, as they are in the studio. In fact, I actually love this version more, than the studio rendition. And for those who posted, criticizing the DJ's scratching, you can "sod off." His technique, as far as I'm concerned, is flawless, as Is Beth's singing, as is the rest of the band.

  • a grandios piece of music. an enlightnening experience that takes you through the abyss of emotion of a trip hop group of consciousness. portishead is a trip you should take, for your own piece of mind. many of their songs will plunge you into the depths of surrealism and trancendence of one's existence.

  • 1:08 I like the "what have I done!" hand-over-the-face move that the DJ does when he got through the first round of scratch, self conscient that he just blew the very last move (the "like-that" he's supposed to do like feeling the orchestra blanks, like in the album version, and that he missed here)

    Dope stuff though.

  • @nikoBCN haha

  • still tipping

  • Q grandes!

    Trip Hop a mil

    :-)

  • great band,great music

  • This is masterful musicianship.

  • Hahahahahaha is the best masterfull musicianchip.

  • igen, bassza meg még mindig ,,only you,,

  • a kibaszott "only you"

    rohadék szar geci szemét "only you"

  • se ve mal y se escucha mal

  • They just mix all styles so seamlessly and make it so powerful. Noone even compares to them.

  • excellent Trip Beat.

  • class

  • I love!

  • woooooooooooow

  • very nice

  • arriba!!portishead!!

  • Saw the whole show years ago on mtv (back when the still had music instead of reality tv). Dark and rainy sunday evening, felt depressingly melancholic. Brilliant album, Beth is just awsome.

  • @acvossius TOTALLY AGREE, MTV IS SHIT THESE DAYS

  • this is trip hop the greatest of all time

  • super

  • fave song on the cd

  • No mames!!!

    Esto le callará la boca a un par de amigos a los que no les gusta el Trp-hop.

    Excelente!

  • Excellente'

  • This song always made me want to "dance" like the kid in the vid...

  • Portishead and PJ Harvey should record some songs together.

  • The drummers kit sounds amazing.

    Lovely snare.

  • HEY!!! whats with all these stupid comments? Arent we supposed to be commenting on Portishead and the Beautiful video they made? Yall are all immature and need to grow up. I dont think Beth Gibbons would like hearing all of this nonsence. This is a great video so enjoy it DAMNIT!!!

  • @Constar138 man fuck you , rip off, real recognizes REAL. bitch

  • @ByTwilightTheyStand You make no sense at all... Faggot

  • also, amazing song. one of my favs

  • All these stupid comments about how you'd fuck her. And not even a comment on the song or the performance. Nice!

  • Mother of God. Shut up.

  • dude why are you wasting your time commenting on several portishead videos when you clearly don't like them? do you think all of us our waiting with baited breath for the next time you comment? seriously, there must be something out there you enjoy, watch that. this cant be fun for you, or anyone else

  • amooo este grupo es lo máximo

  • the best

  • This brother got no class.

  • Hey guess what...... fuck you. :D

  • :O how could you say that to me

  • ??? Say what to you?

  • just fuking around like usuall

    hey this song is pretty badass it's chill at the intro

  • The only truth your spiting is your stupidity.

    Your narrow point of view is kinda funny, but really it's just pathetic. ;)

    So she doesn't have ass?..... wow.... let me think....

    that must have everything to do with her talent as a vocalist and the talent of the band, and just her natural beauty.......mmmmm.....

    Is that the truth fucker? No. Her ass isn't everything. Do you even like the music? If so than enjoy it. If not than fuck you. Have a nice day. :D

  • I'm sure she'd perfer uummmm not anal.... and really, not her, nor her fans would let you do such a thing. Barabrian.

    I'm sure she'd perfer someone who knows how to treat a women with respect that you obviously lack. But really... what's annoying is you. Now fuck off. :D

  • god he needs a girlfriend

  • hahahaha. Yeah he does. One with a giant ass too so he shuts the fuck up. Hope she crushes his tiny cock...

    "oh snap thats too much ass for me!"

    ROFL!

    Portishead is amazing, and Beth is fine the way she is.

  • DIe

  • Dude, you are a fucking loser... Get out of this conversation already. Why don't you go fuck yourself? Do us all a favor.

  • Your still here?

    Go insult some other video, some other vocalist.

  • Don't care shut up.

  • Maybe I'm more jealous of your autistic way of thinking.

    To have your ignorance and to be blissfully unware of it. Even when someone points it out. To think and act like an animal and to treat a women like her who deserves the best without a single bit of respect in regards of her being a human. No. There's nothing from you to be jealous of.

  • hahahahahahahaha!!!!!

    "The idiots mother is always pregenant."

  • No I think she's fine the way she is.

    No ass and not having some crazy asshole talking about her.

    As funny as I think it is could you stop already? Damn quit calling her a bitch.

  • this coming from a 13 year old white kid in the suburbs? Cuz no ghetto black kid would be spending his time commenting on Beth Gibbons flat ass.

  • Awesome: very unique & brilliant band.

  • I LIKE THAT!!

  • better dj performance...simply

  • ITS A FILM WITHOUT SCREEN...

  • Will some one please tell me the name of these guys best album because listening to this, i have got to buy one right NOW!!

    Absolutely mind-blowingly brilliance

  • it depends but I think that their first one was the best... it's called Dummy and it came out in '94.

  • This is their best album. The rare live album that better than the studio ones. (Although both of those are A1).

  • i recommend third or dummy. Portishead ( the album) was okay i guess but i prefer the other 2 better

  • portishead- live in roseland NYC

    portishead- dummy

    but this song is from portishead-portishead

  • wonderful...and the voice...!!

  • Portishead - absolutly real trip hop!!!

  • hm well yes Portishead is amazing...

  • i make Hip Hop beats and only Real HH but i have something to say about this ..this is Art And Hip Hop ! Awesome track ,i will love to sing with her she has a nice voice . Respect !

  • Hence trip-hop

  • just amazing!

  • Amazing song!!

    I love it

  • this song gets me every time.

  • Takes your breath away don't it?

  • Turntables-the next great Jazz instrument.

  • Hey, why not? You've just got to get the right tones right. This is still to much of a hip hop scratch. I bet it would be too hard for most to try and master. So, when you can land on it just right, Email me and I'll write you a song to go with it. Anyone can do this btw and I'll still write the song.

    -Alec Fleming

  • Really amazing!! and they all come from only about 20 miles away from me [Portishead is the name of the place where they all started out from, cos they lived there!!] Still, doubt they live there now though!!!
