Portishead - Mysterons (Roseland NYC) (HQ)

Portishead - Mysterons

From the 1997 concert in Roseland New York.
High Quality version is available.

Lyrics:

Inside your pretending
Crimes have been swept aside
Somewhere where they can forget

Divine upper reaches
Still holding on
This ocean will not be grasped
All for nothing

Did you really want
Did you really want
Did you really want
Did you really want

Refuse to surrender
Strung out until ripped apart
Who dares, dares to condemn
All for nothing

Did you really want
Did you really want
Did you really want
Did you really want

Years later, this is still one of my favorite albums.

[danielmchenry]

Love she's having a smoke while playing a tune. Old School.

[Neuroneos]

Beth Gibbons... she just pierces right into your soul doesn't she

[DurbsBT]

The drummer is tighter than a gnat's chuff... Bad ass groove

[puppylinuxer]

27 years later and this still gives me chills

[bp]

The whole Bristol UK scene in the early 90's was awesome! Folks don't forget to check out Massive Attack and Tricky...

[menswear]

Geoff Barrows on turntables....under appreciated. Give him some cred.

[BuceGar]

This album is incredible! A rare and unique gem. PNYC!

[frogisis]

Obviously all Portishead songs are sung from the point of view of some anthropomorphized force of nature, but 3:18 onward is just pure cosmic power.

[somehumansmind]

her voice is so freaking amazing! when she goes "did you really want", oh man, beautiful

[mcg]

These guys still send a chill up my spine after nearly 20 years. Because they are so confident in what they are doing they don't feel the need to fill every space with a sound. These gaps leaves time for the audience to engage and feel the emotion of the music. Simply wonderful.

[gabrielrose-gonzalez]

Clive Deamer is such a badass on drums...

[pinkfloyd]

This song (in this version) is the highest point that Portishead has reach until now ..., i think along with Radiohead the best of the 90¨s ...Bravo.

[magnusr]

Holy shit friends, this must be one of the best songs ever! Portishead, they must be earth best unknown band!

[lukelilly]

Jesus. This is my first time hearing her live. I’ve listened to their music for most of my 24 years on this earth, but this is my first listen to them live.

Her voice is amazing and sounds better than it does on track. Fucking bravo. Insatiable talent.

One of the very best songs of all time.

[thisallreal]

Quarantine 2020. Who cares when I can listen to this.

[ElLuis]

My nephew picked me up on thanksgiving and he had this song playin on his radio…first timer and just fell in love instantly, specially this song. I’m 52 and still missing a whole lot of good stuff out there.

[flipnog]

I used to skate back home from the library every night at college. I always played this song in my earbuds. Hits the spot

[jeaneudesdelawech]

My all time fav' Portishead song in it's best version... amazing... miss this band very much...

[ConstanceLangdon]

Brilliant.  I don't know how this ended up the loneliest fandom in the world.
