Movie Reviews of Portishead - Roseland New York
Movie Review: Whole new respect for Portishead...
Summary: 5 Stars
I never really got "into" Portishead in the late 90s. Sure I had their albums and loved the moodiness but never became immersed into them. I was a dabbler.
Picked this up on a whim. Wow. They can do what they do on the albums live. That, to me, is the ultimate proof of a band's talent. Not only do the songs sound fantastic, there is something about seeing them performed live that enhances them.
Seeing Adrian Utley playing the theremin, Geoff Barrows do his scratching on the turntables, Beth Gibbons clutching cigarette in hand while wailing into the microphone while a small orchestra performs alongside them is a kind of a surreal cool. No posing here, just that Portishead mystique.
I get it now and am going to go swimming in Portishead.
Summary of Portishead - Roseland New York
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 SullivanMusic Video & Concerts DVD Video
