No way! I'm i dreaming?! a reaction to Portishead, one of the most exquisites bands of all time!!! WOW!!
HELL YEAH!!!
Here in México we love Portishead too
nto the most exquisite but a very underrated one for sure. there's a bunch of lofi bands ut portishead is so underrated
@@chinasky800 we are big faaaans!!!!!! Ya tenía rato de no escucharlos y recorde por que me gustan taaaaaaanto
Here in Korea, we love Portishead as well!!!
First time I heard this amazing song was in an old Toyota Corolla, during a thunderstorm, watching the wipers move in time to the beat. I'll keep that memory forever.
Nice memory!!!!
That’s gorgeous. I was there with you when I read that.
yeah, that's not gonna go away.
now I hear the rain and your wipers. They were always there.
Now that's an image, you describe it so evocatively I think I'll start remembering it too now lol.
Beth Gibbons doesn’t do the sort of over the top, in your face emotion of someone like Adele or Yebba. Hers is an ache rather than a wrenching pain. You don’t get a shotgun blast of pain to the face, rather you feel the pain pulling at you from underneath. It’s so much more subtle and less dramatic. Nobody can do this quite like she can. It’s just amazing.
while there are those who take their emotions out to the rest of the world to see
beth brings the rest of the world to her emotions which gives her music a sense of intimacy
Layne Staley definitely does while singing Nutshell live and Wake up from Mad season
My favourite voice. Hers and L Cohen.
What a song, what a singer, what band. It's as close to perfection as I think anyone has a right to get to. Beautiful and heartbreaking.
She's the essence of cool.
Portishead, supreme beings of leisure bring back good memories.
perfectly said x
I saw Portishead in Munich when I was 15. They played this last, and you could’ve heard a pin drop. Absolute perfection live
i saw them in stockholm in '99. they did this as an encore after being brought back to the stage. i was waiting for this song the whole show. same thing, everyone was solemnly in silence and if someone had dropped a pin, i would have heard it.
This entire concert is amazing! Between this & probably Radiohead Live from the Basement are me most played live shows that I rewatch over & over that never gets old.
Fuckin A!👍
Believe it or not I saw Radiohead when no one knew who they were...in a basement at a place called The Nile Theater in Mesa AZ
@@theshocker4626 that's a shocker...
I love it at the end, where Beth apologises for being shit!!
I still have this concert recorded off radio 1 back in the late 90’s on cassette
Weird, I was having a Triphop morning with Tricky, Massive Attack and Portishead! Dummy is a beautiful album
Fun fact: Will Gregory is there playing and he played as a session musician with Tears for Fears at their height, and would go on to form Goldfrapp with Alison Goldfrapp. A great band.
@@theshocker4626 love Felt Mountain :)
Good times
@@matthewyip8695 Sour Times XD
Sounds like you’re having a great morning! 🥰
Goosebumps every single time I hear this.
Beth Gibbons sings with her whole body .
. She draws u into her emotional
being . You can feel her frailty and I love her for it . The whole self titled album is just beautiful and Beth Gibbons is a huge part of what makes it that way . How can someone sound so sad and not be depressing ? She is a force of nature .
Bjork does the same thing.
👏👏👏
agree 💯
One of my favorite band of all time. Beth Gibbons is such a great singer, her voice always gives me the chillz
I remember hearing Dummy for the first time, a buddy of mine played it for me. I was so blown away I went out and bought it, phenomenal album.
I've been a huge fan of Portishead since the 90s, and this song is simply amazing. I love her breathly vocals.
Portishead is one of the best trip hop groups. The voice of Beth is the shining star.
One could say her voice is... a... wandering star...
Zero 7 w/ Sia is better! Jeff Buckley w/ Liz Frasier is better!
FINALLY Portishead!!
YES, YES!!! I've been waiting for this reaction. I've been a fan of Portishead since the 90s.
Her voice breaks my heart.
A few years ago Portishead was headlining Melt! festival. The organizers shut down all other stages for their performance. In over 20 years I haven't seen this happening. Not once, for no other band. And it felt right.
Beth is so incredibly emotive when she sings. She looks like she will break down at any moment. Amazing.
"It's the things that aren't technically perfect in this, that make it amazing."
Pretty much the best summation of Portishead's music I've heard.
If you dont cry to this song you have no soul its heartbreakingly beautiful first time I heard it I sobbed Beth's voice just tore at your heartstrings
you said something along the lines of that it's her breaks from perfect form that make it so good, and i feel like you're right in that, and also that it's entirely genuine. she's putting her being into it. she's singing from herself. that makes such a difference when it comes to singing
The way she creates the mood she wants you to feel with her vocal stylings is incredible!
Beth Gibbons is a badass!
I have loved Portishead since about '96 when Brittish trip-hop came to the states... Bands like this, Tricky, Sneaker Pimps, and Massive Attack were all in my album rotation. Thanks for doing this one.❤❤
Yessss! Although for me I didn’t catch on until 1999ish. But this brings back so many good memories! 🎶
Snap! Discovered them in 96 and then promptly moved onto Tricky, Massive Attack, and Sneaker Pimps and Lamb.
I grew up in Bristol and I often wondered what the hell you guys in the states made of this lot.
Bristol is a tiny city in comparison to most US cities. Was a great time to live there in the 90s. I lived on the same street as Daddy G and we shared a corner shop for late night booze and munchie runs. Fun days. Often bumped into him.
Absolutely brilliant. I’m so glad I got to experience them live in my lifetime
That entire concert is legendary. The arrangements and Beth's voice are a thing of beauty. Great analysis, I'm not a musician but you explained everything in a way I could understand what you were talking about.
Great video, thank you!!!
Thank you for reminding me how much I love Portishead.
I moment in time captured by Portishead, good times. Devastating raw emotion. Thanks for doing your analysis on 1 of many of my favorite 90s band's Beth, have a awesome day😃
I've been waiting for this for a long time. Portishead is beyond amazing.
Last year Beth recorded Symphony Of Sorrowful Songs (by Henryk Górecki) with The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. It's also beautiful.
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy next? Shara Nelson is so good in this one.
Good recommendation, the most Bristol of Bristol Sound.
She recorded with Polish Orchestra? I didn't know that. Very cool
Its the most heartbreaking and moving recording of the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs I've encountered. She brings true emotion and pain to it as opposed to the operatic sopranos who are on almost all of the commercial recordings of it.
Dummy shaped my life. Every time I listen to any of their songs, I still feel the same soul gripping feelings. Beth is incredible.
Thank you for ur vid
I've have always loved Beth Gibbons from the moment I heard her, I've had the privilege to see her live over 20 yrs ago and I still count it as one of my too few best ever concerts
Beth Gibbons! Have always loved her voice.
One of their best is The Rip, the vocals in that reach places mere mortals can not.
Yess, thank you for doing Portishead!!
I'm so glad you chose this song. I suggested this version last week in the comments because it's one of the most heartfelt performances I've ever seen. Thanks, Beth!
If you don't know Portishead, you've got to listen to the whole "Dummy" album...
And dont forget the rest of them. Seriously, Dummy is great but the other two get overlooked a bit too much.
@@vanihm I actually prefer Third to Dummy nowadays. It's intense.
@@mysticsaxophone4181 Me too... But I'm so happy there made 3 albums, only three but without concession
@@gabrielk2295 don't forget the live album PNYC which is where I think this performance is from.
Much love to my fellow Portishead enthusiasts!! Portishead is one of the most amazing bands that most people have never heard of. I was lucky to be in Europe and saw them live very early in their career and was blown away at how good they were.
I got chills just as the camera panned teh studio. Even before the first note - I`m gone. It was perfection.
This performance is fantastic. I bought the CD and DVD when it came out and it is still in my playlists. Live @ Roseland NYC is a must see.
Thank you for reacting to this artist as well as the song. I like many others were requesting this gem. What a beautiful reaction. Thank you!
I saw Portishead on this tour in Atlanta and it is still my favorite show of all time. Absolutely floored every time I hear them.
I have long said that this is the most perfect album, most perfect concert to have ever occurred. Live at Roseland NYC is simply amazing from start to finish. I so very much wish I could have been there and it broke my heart when they closed down the Roseland Ballroom even though my only experience of it is through this album and video. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reacting to one of my all time favorites. Roar on!
A week ago I started watching some of your reacts, all amazing; but here you touched me, a lot of what you say is what I ever thought about Beth Gibbons and specially her singin in this concert. the almost crying vibratto, the lonelyness, the two different stages of feelings...you love Beth Gibbons, I love Beth Gibbons, I love that you love Beth Gibbons, ergo..I love you! ;-) :-)
Holy heck this is timely. My band just started tossing around the idea of a live Portishead cover this past Monday. Thanks for the pointers!
I love your analyses of vocal technique! You give nubes like me a new language for talking about the songs we so dearly love.
you just earn yourself a sub from this guy here, I appreciate your dissection's of the music, and this song is one of the most gut-wrenching and emotional, just brilliant
I love the way half way through the audience realize they’re clapping and stop, as it dawns on them just what they’re experiencing.
I have always loved Portishead vocally, instrumentality & lyrically n0w your breakdown has added a whole other dimension. Waycool!
Thank you so much for reacting to a portishead song, and for appreciating how amazing they were!
This one's my favorite among your videos that I've watched so far!
Amazing song. First time I heard it was at the ending scene of the 1995 film "Little Criminals" and ever since it's stuck with me. Instantly recognisable by just the first note and then all I can picture is the scene from the film lol.
Beth’s voice yanks at your feels from the inside
i find Beth Gibbons' voice both beautiful and incredibly haunting at the same time. so good
Absolutely love this song ever since it came out.
Well miss Roars,
This is the first time ive heard this kind of assment i appreciated your thoughts thank you Beth for your assesment ❤it
I can never listen to this song without crying. It's so full of emotion and lonlyness. One of the best singers there ever was/is.
Thanks for reacting to this, Beth!
Hearing your thoughts on one of the most angelic voices of all time really was a treat.
You are reacting to one of my all time favorite tracks.

I definitely Did enjoy the video, Beth, by watching it on my big tv in front of me while... playing with my drumsticks on my drumpad.
Seriously though, Im a drummer myself and I do have perfect pitch (which is both a blessing and a curse, when youre the only one with it in your underground cover band), so your analysis actually made me think how maybe vocals, which are emotionally spread all over, actually signify the singer showing how good of an actor s/he really is, because s/he Actually is living through/portraying a character vocally at the moment captured in those lyrics.
No wonder this is so special and why I only love singers like Jeff Buckley, ... and pretty much it, but I might have to Finally dig into Portishead's discography. Not that there arent enough Vocalists who I also adore, but none of them are of the modern mainstream period, and none of them have touched me in the way Buckley does.
This, however, seems ripe for examining. No, I dont know why I became a honey-bee right there at the end...
Anyway, thanks for this, because wherever you are, or whatever may come, you are my friend for showing me this.
Beth,mi fa piacere che ti siano piaciuti 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
I've seen a few of your reactions and I love em. Plus luv trip hop, portishead.
This was the song I listened non-stop when I was depressed years ago.
Glad that you saw your way through
Yeah, me too. This album and, weirdly enough, Stadium Arcadium.
Fantastic video! This entire live album is easily my favorite live album of all time! ☝️❤👍
Thanks for Covering my fav singer. It looked like you were struggling to not sing along in the second verse. Had a chuckle at the "not doing anything bad for her voice" since she is smoking during a few of the songs at the concert.
This brings me right back to the 90s, living in a studio, not a care in the world, listening to Portishead and Dead can Dance, wow so cool, thank you!!
Your taste in music for your reacts is impeccable!
Damn ! Among all the Portishead songs, you choosed this one OMG...
The song is fantastic, this interpretation is soooooo deep and strong ♥♥♥
I love that you cover 90's 'grunge' bands and triphop, like this. These are my two favorite genres.
This makes me happy.
Very happy.
the charismatic voice is how i found your channel. you are both awesome. you should send her this portishead vid to see her take. just love portishead
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Beth, I love it! You didn't only make me to revisit a song I almost forgot about it, but opened a whole genre to me, which I never looked in to due to my ignorance.
I always just assumed Trip Pop is a different take of Hip Hop and you made me to read up on it... and I like it!
FINALLY she's such a legend
This band has gotten me through some of the hardest times in my life. They deserve any and every prop they get.
Ahh, I love this song. Performance is so intimate and beautiful.
For me with this song, the sweet spot is when the bass guitar kicks in, it's so gentle, emotional, soulful and perfectly fills the void when Beth stops singing.
Beth's voice is sensational and how she uses it in a more emotional and delicate way rather than just trying to project is such a powerful thing, it makes these such a unique band and makes them still sound fresh as ever! I love how they play together too, it's almost telepathic how perfectly in step with each other they are.
Dummy is still one of the best albums to ever come out of this tiny island though and barely anybody realises how important it is!
Brilliant analysis - thx so much (for all that hard-earned skill of yours)
this song has been on my most payed list for years 👍absolutely haunting
This was live at roseland I think, what an incredible show
I had that VHS at one point in time, It was killer.
I see Beth roars I click. I see Portishead I click. I see both, I sprain my finger.
Update: how is your finger?
Update: Underrated COMMENT! 🏆
I had the pleasure of seeing them live in this small theatre on Miami Beach in the early 90s. I was blown away. This little woman stepped on stage and delivered this spiritual performance. It was transcendent. The entire crowd was completely affected and was transformed. I have seen many bands live but none compare to this experience. I went back the next night and bought a ticket off this guy waiting in line for 3x the price paid and it was completely worth it. Both performances were phenomenal
One of the greatest live performances Iv'e ever seen. Roseland NYC is such a good show.
After all these years that organ riff still gives me a chill. She pinches off those phrasings masterfully
I was literally just thinking that I was hoping you'd get around to Portishead when you mentioned missing triphop in a previous video. Perfect.
One of my favourite 90s bands!! Portishead is great and this song is so moving and deep.
oh yay! I love portishead so much.
I don't know how many times I've watched this video but the overwhelming consensus is that I agree with everything you say here.
One of the best their songs. It's just perfect...
Still 1 of my all time favourites! Hits all those feels.
I love how you let yourself express your full emotions
It’s so refreshing I agree
The emotion in the whole song is what gets me. Beth's singing, the guitar wahwahwah thing, the strings. I think I heard this 1st in an early scene in Tank Girl. Excellent post-apocalyptic movie music
I love portishead so much. Always hoping for another album.
Love your reaction to one of my favourit live act...
Omg, I still can't believe it, three days ago I listened to this song and thought about how Beth would react to Beth Gibbon's voice, and today I just received a notification of this video, what on earth just happened?
By far one of my favorite singers for sure.
how i missed this reaction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of my favourite, if not my favourite, pop song!!!!!!!!!!
Instant goosebumps when this song starts even after all these years.
Amazing! i just love you reactions. Greetings from Brazil. :D
More than 20 years afterwards this song still makes me weep. I have such a reverence for it I usually listen to it alone remaining still or if I am with someone of whom such a request would be appropriate I ask that they not speak over top of it. So, obviously, it was a bit strange to enter into an arrangement where you would obviously be talking during the song. However, I am so glad I did.
You affirmed many of my thoughts about the vocal performance of this song. And, I like that you mentioned that it is the unconventional elements of that performance that make it so special. The end of vocal performance is to imbue the emotional intent of the song. It is because of this that all convention goes out the window for Roads.
Beth's fragility here is completely different than other great ballads in pop music history. Imagine for a moment Christine McVeigh's performance of Songbird on Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album. Despite being a great performance if you were to apply that style in place of Gibbons here on Roads it becomes an entirely different song emoting entirely different intent.
Thank you for reacting, Beth, to one of the very favorite songs of my life. And yes, it made me weep again.
One of our finest female singers is Beth Gibbons. On tracks like this she never tries to outplay the music, she uses her vibrato to compliment the quivering strings and doesn't resort to histrionics. On more electronic tracks she snarls and screeches, curling words around the notes and banging them high notes like a steam whistle about to blow! Divine. Underrated. Beautiful.
Love Beth!!! Love Portishead. Such a mood👌🏻
Beth Gibbons still my all time fav female singer for ever and ever! Such a unique voice, man!
Love from Hungary 🇭🇺 💜
Respect ✌️ 🙏
Never heard this song, nor anything from Portishead until I heard this on an episode of Person of Interest. Made me check out this band.
great analysis.. thanks for this :)
