I was sooo lucky. Their 1st gig in London, I was there. Shared a smoke with Michael Hutchence and Helena christensen. I hope someone else was at the same gig.
Unusually for an English town name it's pronounced as its spelt Por-tis-head part of the Bristol scene of the nineties all very amazing like PJ Harvey, Tricky and Massive Attack all extremely talented artists
Although this is a great version, it's quite different from the original. The original is an absolute masterpiece! You should check out the original, if you can, or one of the many live versions that are closer to it. All that said, I love this version but that love is partly informed by knowing the original. :)
For TSR's info, it's definitely pronounced Port-is(s)-Head - another of those place-names like Leatherhead and Birkenhead. The most amusing not-entirely-off description of the band I've seen: "They're classified as "trip-hop", but there's not much rapping going on (compare Massive Attack) - so they're more if Nine Inch Nails was a jazz band instead and if Trent Reznor was a middle-aged woman..."
Been watching your Portishead videos, just discovered your channel through them and I’m at the very start of this video but I HAVE to address the pronunciation of their name. It’s ‘Portis-Head.’ “Poor_Tiss_Head.” Reactions to them have been great otherwise 😅
this version/ iteration is messing with people who wanna hear the original version style. but I'm sure they're sick of playing it the old way, even though this is only 4 years after it came out

PORTIS-HEAD Great reactions to a top band

Looooooove Beth gibbons voice. She could sing me the phone book and I’d be in. Portishead are amazing. 🔥
When i first heard this band, i found a part of my soul. So fucking underrated.
I always appreciate the Portishead reactions. 🌀🌀🌀🙏🙏🙏
One of Portishead's signatures is inspiration and sampling from old spy movie soundtracks, and it's really in the forefront in this track.
Uuuh I adore Portishead. I stilll listen after almost 30 years 🤯
I would love to hear you do a full cover of this.
YaY, Portishead! Fairly big fan but I hadn't seen this performance before. Not disappointed.
Mate, it's Por-tis-head...Lol @ Portisheed. Bless.

The pain and anguish in her voice is amazing and moving and a bit disturbing to listen to, but fits the song to a tee.
Big love to your reaction bro but We still waiting on that “never freestyle” reaction from coast contra my brother 😂🔥🔥
Check out bbc radio 1 essential selection set , 2 hours of Portishead on the decks 😊
Good as this is. Album version outstanding.
That red background projection fucked me up. Love Portishead and Beth
I've always pronounced it as Por-tis Head, I could be wrong though.
Portis-head
Would be cool if you could react to Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man at Paleo 2003.
❤❤❤ ❤
Love Beth’s voicd
i prefer the original studio album version if i'm honest
Same! The original is perfection.
pronounced Portiss head!
This is a very cool but a slower version of the studio album. In the first part anyway.
First "trip hop" group I ever bothered to listen to. Listening to the album Dummy.
It's pronounced like two seperate words like Portis-head
