They ended with this at Hammerstein last night before the 1st Encore. My world was OFFICIALLY rocked. Sings right to my va-hee hee that Beth Gibbons. Thanks for posting.
There really is no other band out there like Portishead. They are the only ones that can reach that deep, dark spot in my soul. I get the chills everytime I hear Beth's voice. Totally unreal.
Her voice is AMAZING! Not many artists sound as good - or better(!!!) - live, as they do in the studio! The instruments are amazing as well - really just an excellent band. :)
how about you guys? k i think the current tv live show, and in fact most of the live shows early on after Third where they were peforming them fresh and new were some of their best performances recently. also when they were in control of the camera aesthetic
this is an amazing live rendition but the album recording is so absolutely flawless in every respect that it's nearly impossible to replicate, though they might be the best live band around today. sometimes I think Beth needs a big hug. (jk)
They're just one of those great original bands that push the bouneries everytime. Moody and magnificent.But not to leftfield that you can't relate to it ( sorry Mr S.Engel) ! Power yet grace, dark n brooding !!
I love this song and their live performances are extraordinary, with Beth and the lyrics written over her hand... There is not one bad portishead song out there
Beth Gilbbons saying "I'm always so unsure" is something of an understatement, yes? ;)

I absolutely love this version of the song. It's so drippy and eerie.
Is there a high quality mp3 of the live version of the song anywhere to be found? That would be so awesome!

I wrote 'Beth Gibbons smiling' in the youtube search and it answered me: 'Didn't you mean Beth Gibbons smoking?'.
That's it. They touch the deepest place in me.

On the cd liner notes it credits the guitar in this song to Beth Gibbons, not to Adrian Utley. Seems curious as Utley is the band's guitar player.
