Portishead: Live at Roseland
Saturday, Sept 6th at 9:00
British trip-hop group Portishead broke out during a mid-1990s wave of electronic innovation occurring in their hometown of Bristol. Their gloomy, jazzy sound managed to set them apart from Bristol contemporaries like techno pioneer Tricky and drum 'n bass guru Roni Size, and they soon gained a dedicated following.
Resoundingly haunting beats and the echoing choruses sung in Beth Gibbon's smoky voice are signatures of the Portishead sound.
In 1997, the band performed a one-off show with strings by the New York Philharmonic orchestra at ROSELAND in NEW YORK. It was filmed at that famous venue on July 24, 1997. The band performs 16 of their songs, including the hits "Numb" and "Sour Times." Imagine the quality of the sound at the Academy, an opera house.
