Coolest and sexiest band ever. You know, the question "if you could time travel to any point in time, where would you go?" gets thrown around a lot but really the correct answer is teleporting to Portishead’s Roseland NYC Live concert. Also, I watched and listened to this while doing my physics homework but I couldn’t help but LeBron-James-in-the-studio.Gif every 5 seconds. Long live orchestras and live music.

SKTUD

Beth Gibbons' voice never fails to give me chills. she really gave an all time performance while smoking cigarettes on stage. i've heard these songs so many times but actually watching her sing feels so unreal. how she do that?

the entire performance feels so grandiose which isn't really a word i would usually use to describe Portishead. having a massive orchestra really shows how deeply layered their production is. although i still prefer the studio sound.

"Undenied" is one of my favorite songs from them so i wish they didn't show random shots of the streets while it was being performed but okay...
