Info zu Roseland NYC Live 25 (Remastered 2023)

Zusammen mit Massive Attack und Tricky war Portishead Teil des Dreigestirns in Bristol, das den Triphop in den frühen neunziger Jahren populär machte. Aber was sie einzigartig machte, war die Verwendung von Elementen aus Cool Jazz, Acid House und Soundtrack Samples für ihre langsamen, wabernden Beats und ihren stimmungsvollen und verführerischen Sound, der sich an ein breites Publikum richtet. Im Jahr 1998, als sie merkten, dass die Fans untereinander unentwegt Live-Bootlegs tauschten, entschied Portishead, ein einzigartiges Konzert einzufangen. "Roseland NYC Live" war ein One Night Stand der Extraklasse im legendären New York City Roseland Ballroom, wo Geoff Barrow, Adrian Utley und Beth Gibbons die Bühne mit dem 35-köpfigen New York Philharmonie Orchester teilten. Diese neuen Arrangements potenzierten die dramatische Spannung ins Unermessliche und ließ eines der atemberaubendsten Alben des Genres entstehen.

"Roseland NYC Live" ist ein Mitschnitt vom Portishead-Konzert im Roseland Ballroom New York aus dem Sommer letzten Jahres. Das Konzert markierte nach fast dreijähriger Pause nach dem Debütalbum "Dummy" den ersten Schritt von Portishead zurück auf die Bühne anläßlich der kurz bevorstehenden Veröffentlichung des zweiten Werkes. Zu diesem Zweck hatte man die Band um ein 30köpfiges Streicherensemble und eine fünfköpfige Hornsection erweitert. Die schwermütigen Stücke von Portishead, die aus beiden Studioalben stammen, bekommen durch die Streicher- und Bläserarrangements noch mehr Dunkelheit und Tiefe, ohne dabei ihren Charakter zu verlieren. Schleppende Beats, Scratches, schreiende Gitarren und der eindringliche Gesang von Beth Gibbons dominieren auch in der großorchestralen Fassung die Songs. Ohnehin war der Auftritt im Roseland in erster Linie eine Live-Umsetzung dessen, was schon auf den Platten passierte, denn Portishead hatten stets gekonnt (gesampelte) Orchestersounds fließend in ihre Stücke eingebaut."

Portishead
are a band from Bristol, United Kingdom, named after a small coastal town twelve miles west of said musical hotbed, in North Somerset. They were initially known for their use of jazz samples and some hip-hop beats along with various synth sounds and the hauntingly beautiful vocals of singer Beth Gibbons.

Their current sound drops the samples in favour of a harder, more abrasive edge, but retains Gibbons' vocals.The band was formed in 1991 (then later split in 2005 reforming in 2008), by keyboardist / multi-instrumentalist Geoff Barrow, Adrian Utley and singer Beth Gibbons.

Barrow had previously worked with Massive Attack and Tricky whilst tape operator at Coach House Studios in Clifton. He was often referred to as "that bloke from Portishead" and so decided to name his new musical endeavour after his hometown.

"Dummy" (1994)After releasing a short film (To Kill A Dead Man) and its accompanying music, Portishead signed a record deal with Go! Beat and their first album, 'Dummy', was released in 1994. It featured heavy contributions from guitarist Adrian Utley.

In spite of the band's media-shyness, the album gained universal critical acclaim and was successful on both sides of the Atlantic, spawning three hit singles, "Glory Box", "Sour Times" and "Numb". The album won the British Mercury Music Prize in 1995 beating albums such as Definitely Maybe by Oasis and Leftfield's Leftism.

"Portishead" (1997)Their second album, 'Portishead', was released in 1997, and featured the single "All Mine". A live album featuring new orchestral arrangements of the group's songs was recorded primarily at Roseland in New York City and released in 1998, as well as a DVD of the Roseland concert.

In 2002, Gibbons collaborated on a separate solo project with Paul Webb, or Rustin' Man. The album, 'Out of Season', was released in the UK in October 2002, and a year later was released in the U.S.In the time between 'Portishead' and 'Third', Portishead collaborated with singer Tom Jones for a track on his album 'Reload', and also covered Serge Gainsbourg's "Un Jour Comme Un Autre" ("Requiem for Anna") in 2006 on the tribute album 'Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited'.

The band appeared live for the first time in seven years at the 2005 Tsunami Benefit Concert in Bristol. Also in 2005, Utley and Barrow produced The Coral's 'The Invisible Invasion'. Barrow along with Utley, Clive Deamer and John Baggott also assisted with the production of Stephanie McKay's 'McKay' album in 2003 under the Go!Beat label.

Utley also contributed to the 'Black Cherry' album by Goldfrapp.In December 2007, Portishead hosted the ATP Nightmare before Christmas party. Portishead played live on both nights of the festival. The set included 4 new tracks from their then-upcoming new album.

Video recordings of Portishead ATP performance can be found on YouTube. "Third" (2008) Portishead's long awaited third album simply titled 'Third' was released at the end of April 2008 to coincide with Coachella, where they were headlining.

The first single, 'Machine Gun', was released on April 14 as a 12" vinyl. It was made available on (your very own) Last.fm one week before release. In 2009 Geoff Barrow produced the second album Primary Colours by The Horrors.

In 2015, Portishead headlined at Latitude Festival in UK on July 18th.
