Summary: Beautiful Portishead
Comment: This DVD has it all: Great set list, great sound quality, music videos, low price!
I first owned the CD from this concert. I fell in love with it and couldn't wait to buy the DVD. $12 is a great price too! I was surprised how many songs are on the set list. The CD only has 11 tracks, while the DVD has 16 songs and 8 music videos! Also, the 5.1 surround mix is great! I expected just 2.0 dolby surround because it's from the 90's. Gibbon's voice is so clear and crisp! The whole mix is great! The video is a little grainy (sometimes on purpose with old cameras) but it doesn't detract from the concert. Very happy with my purchase!!!!

Summary: Buy Instead of the CD
Comment: A great performance, that's no doubt; however, the dimwits in NYC decided to have a little clap-a-long to "Roads" that absolutely ruins the recording. Worry not, there is no audible clapping on the DVD, so buy this version. CD and vinyl are garbage. Thanks New York, we can always count on you to destroy everything we hold dear.

Summary: Nice Attempt
Comment: A fantastic DVD for the fans of Portishead. The only drawback is that it isn't 16:9!

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 Sullivan
