Portishead - Glory box (Roseland NYC) (HQ)

Portishead - Glory box

From the 1997 concert in Roseland New York.

Lyrics:

I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

Just. .

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman

From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Thru this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
I just wanna be a woman

So don't you stop, being a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be ee, a woman
Its all I wanna be is all woman

For this is the beginning of forever and ever

Its time to move over... ...

[BeastyBite]

the fact she's singing a vocal spectrum most people can't even think about while smoking a cig is insane to this day

[amc]

In terms of live performances, this is truly monumental.

[dajeromaa]

How blessed are the people in the audience, this can never be repeated

[Henrydingus]

There will never be a more epic drag from a cigarette than that

[postalfreeek]

after all these years, not a lot can compare to this performance. This concert is one of the greatest ever in the history of Music.

[MrRufioooo]

This whole live show is 10 times better than the actual recordings. And their records blow my head off every time.

[jamiesimon]

"Sorry that was a bit dodgy" She's so humble. It wasn't dodgy, it was brilliant! Legendary!

[fergusbarr]

My uncle is the guy on base, licking up the vibrations, all the oscillations in the harmony, and her melody. 

[mzliz]

Notice the audience being so chill. No fighting, no shootings, no cellphones.

[harperfan]

I've attending hundreds of concerts because I used to work in the music industry, this was by far one of the most intimate and memorable ones I've ever attended!

[neilmoore]

Incredible how Beth’s voice can change in an instant. Sings the verses almost in an American computer/ robot sound then changes to the sublime for the “ Give me a reason …….” What a performance. Timeless masterpiece.

[Rishiyisus]

Easily one of the best live songs ever... And from 4:03 to 4:35 man the crescendo and dj scratch... one of the GREATEST MOMENTS IN MUSIC, GOOSEBUMPS

[euanscotland]

Not a mobile phone In sight.
So refreshing 😌

[ramn]

this is endlessly repeatable. what an absolute work of art. every second moves me so much

[WikiNicoBrz]

Still get the goosebumps after 25 years

[mrrobertbraswell]

Even better than the studio version. I has that dripping quality.

[shannonelizabethkelley]

The 90s was the best Era of music..I was 18 when I first started listening to Portishead. I'm 45 and still noone can compare

[gefthetokingmongoose]

This is maybe my favorite female vocal performance of all time. I get literal chills from her voice when I listen to this

[manumanumontesano]

Sexiest song ever written, I absolute love it <3

[ababyharpseal]

Absolutely amazing. I wasn't even born back in 1997, but my mother raised me on Portishead. I love them, I love trip-hop, and I love every new artist that they've influenced with their sound!
