This famous filming of Portishead's first-ever live gig in New York--along with the accompanying album--is now considered a modern classic. The concert itself is a wonder to behold, as Portishead (Geoff Barrows, Adrian Utley, Beth Gibbons, Andy Smith) smoke cigarettes, chew gum, scratch records, and behave in a generally hip manner while around them the 30-piece New York Philharmonic Orchestra and a 5-piece horn ensemble do their thing. The performance and subsequent recording of this gig has, in some cases, offered a preferred body of work to Portishead's studio-based albums, proving that a live gig does not always equal poor production values. From the haunting "All Mine" to the ever-popular "Glory Box," the energy from the band members and orchestra adds a breathtaking edge to the well-known tunes. The camera itself takes on part of the magic of the concert, sweeping majestically across the action and the audience, helping to capture the slow, silky essence of this urbanized opulence. --Paul Sullivan

You will definitly want to add this dvd to your collection. It is a great display of Portishead's raw talent. One of the best live shows I,ve ever seen.

A great performance, that's no doubt; however, the dimwits in NYC decided to have a little clap-a-long to "Roads" that absolutely ruins the recording. Worry not, there is no audible clapping on the DVD, so buy this version. CD and vinyl are garbage. Thanks New York, we can always count on you to destroy everything we hold dear.
Nice Attempt September 24, 2007

A fantastic DVD for the fans of Portishead. The only drawback is that it isn't 16:9!

If you enjoy the music of Portishead then this dvd is a must have. Includes their best tracks live. It makes you wish you had seen them live when they were together.
