    You need to head DIRECTLY into “Roads” off of this same performance. In fact, the entire Roseland NYC Live album is high tier art. Beth Gibbons is at her best here and a songstress decades out of place. She channels so much 30’s/40’s blues into her voice it’s insane. They, along with Massive Attack, really helped propel Trip Hop out of the Bristol music scene and onto global audiences in the early 90’s. Recommend adding “Unfinished Sympathy” from Massive Attack as well as “Midnight in a Perfect World” from DJ Shadow to your viewing arsenal for more Trip Hop classics.

    Geoff Barrow who was on the decks in the video was a tape operator and producer for Massive Attack. Tricky was one of the vocalists for Massive Attack on there first album. It was said that when Geoff played tricky the demo of Glorybox, tricky took the same sample to create Hell is round the corner for his solo album. Both Massive Attack and Portishead originate from Bristol, England.

    Members of Portishead originally came from Portishead, England. Roseland NYC is one of the greatest live albums\videos ever. Portishead and Tricky ran in the same circles, Portishead had a remix of Hell is Around the Corner. and both Portishead and Tricky worked with

    I first heard Portishead on MTV in 1994 (Glory Box), went out and bought the album and fell in love with every track from the first listening and still play all 3 albums regularly, usually back to back.Im not a big fan of live music in general so as much play time as I give to the studio versions I think ive only ever played the copy of this concert I have once or twice. The studio work is what give the instrumental genius of Portishead its shine imo. That said, when they performed Roads at Glasto live I got quite emotional and teary which saying something considering Im supposed to be a hard faced ex coal miner and steel worker.

    Triphop is a little hard to define, but it's generally a group of artists from the UK including Tricky who made very atmospheric music with a mix of singing, just instrumentals and soft rap. They often collabed and you'll find crossovers on most of the triphop artists music. Massive Attack are probably the most well known and Beth sung on their album Mezzanine on the song Tear Drop

    Side note - Portishead's lead singer, Beth Gibbons, was a guest vocalist on Kendrick Lamar's latest album on the track 'Mother I Sober'. She's a generational talent.

    More cool 90's trip-hop would be Massive Attack and Sneaker pimps

    Portishead had 2 albums and became a legend, this is from the third live album, and they have 2 more later albums way more electronic which are also interesting but the first two are flawless.
