Reply to: RE>>(idm) portishead
i second this - i saw them at the supper club in new york on that samw tour and
thought they were fantastic - they are playing in roseland with a full orchestra
and it's being filmed (only bad thing is that the lights will be on for the
cameras) - if i was in new york this thurday i'd be paying a scalp a lot of money
- just my opinion though

Who told you that? That's a load of shit. I was there, mate! Their third
show ever and their first show in America. It was fucking really good,
their dj spun old school classics and funky beats, beth's vocals were
right on, the drumming and guitars were really tight - it was one of the
best live acts i've seen and i had a brilliant time. A very intimate
performance i felt. They opened the show with the To Kill A Dead Man
film over which they performed the soundtrack live. If you can catch
them live, do it.
cheers,
