Vocal Coach reacts to Portishead - Roads (Beth Gibbons Live) 

HELL YEAH!!!

Here in México we love Portishead too

nto the most exquisite but a very underrated one for sure. there's a bunch of lofi bands ut portishead is so underrated

@@chinasky800 we are big faaaans!!!!!! Ya tenía rato de no escucharlos y recorde por que me gustan taaaaaaanto

Here in Korea, we love Portishead as well!!!

Nice memory!!!!

That’s gorgeous. I was there with you when I read that.

yeah, that's not gonna go away.

now I hear the rain and your wipers. They were always there.

Now that's an image, you describe it so evocatively I think I'll start remembering it too now lol.

while there are those who take their emotions out to the rest of the world to see beth brings the rest of the world to her emotions which gives her music a sense of intimacy

Layne Staley definitely does while singing Nutshell live and Wake up from Mad season

She's the essence of cool.

Portishead, supreme beings of leisure bring back good memories.

perfectly said x

i saw them in stockholm in '99. they did this as an encore after being brought back to the stage. i was waiting for this song the whole show. same thing, everyone was solemnly in silence and if someone had dropped a pin, i would have heard it.

Fuckin A!👍

Believe it or not I saw Radiohead when no one knew who they were...in a basement at a place called The Nile Theater in Mesa AZ

@@theshocker4626 that's a shocker...

I love it at the end, where Beth apologises for being shit!!

I still have this concert recorded off radio 1 back in the late 90’s on cassette

Bjork does the same thing.

👏👏👏

Fun fact: Will Gregory is there playing and he played as a session musician with Tears for Fears at their height, and would go on to form Goldfrapp with Alison Goldfrapp. A great band.

@@theshocker4626 love Felt Mountain :)

Good times

@@matthewyip8695 Sour Times XD

Sounds like you’re having a great morning! 🥰

If you dont cry to this song you have no soul its heartbreakingly beautiful first time I heard it I sobbed Beth's voice just tore at your heartstrings

One could say her voice is... a... wandering star...

Zero 7 w/ Sia is better! Jeff Buckley w/ Liz Frasier is better!

YES, YES!!! I've been waiting for this reaction. I've been a fan of Portishead since the 90s.

Yessss! Although for me I didn’t catch on until 1999ish. But this brings back so many good memories! 🎶

Snap! Discovered them in 96 and then promptly moved onto Tricky, Massive Attack, and Sneaker Pimps and Lamb.

I grew up in Bristol and I often wondered what the hell you guys in the states made of this lot. Bristol is a tiny city in comparison to most US cities. Was a great time to live there in the 90s. I lived on the same street as Daddy G and we shared a corner shop for late night booze and munchie runs. Fun days. Often bumped into him.

And dont forget the rest of them. Seriously, Dummy is great but the other two get overlooked a bit too much.

@@vanihm I actually prefer Third to Dummy nowadays. It's intense.

@@mysticsaxophone4181 Me too... But I'm so happy there made 3 albums, only three but without concession

@@gabrielk2295 don't forget the live album PNYC which is where I think this performance is from.

Update: how is your finger?

Update: Underrated COMMENT! 🏆

Good recommendation, the most Bristol of Bristol Sound.

She recorded with Polish Orchestra? I didn't know that. Very cool

Its the most heartbreaking and moving recording of the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs I've encountered. She brings true emotion and pain to it as opposed to the operatic sopranos who are on almost all of the commercial recordings of it.

I definitely Did enjoy the video, Beth, by watching it on my big tv in front of me while... playing with my drumsticks on my drumpad. Seriously though, Im a drummer myself and I do have perfect pitch (which is both a blessing and a curse, when youre the only one with it in your underground cover band), so your analysis actually made me think how maybe vocals, which are emotionally spread all over, actually signify the singer showing how good of an actor s/he really is, because s/he Actually is living through/portraying a character vocally at the moment captured in those lyrics. No wonder this is so special and why I only love singers like Jeff Buckley, ... and pretty much it, but I might have to Finally dig into Portishead's discography. Not that there arent enough Vocalists who I also adore, but none of them are of the modern mainstream period, and none of them have touched me in the way Buckley does. This, however, seems ripe for examining. No, I dont know why I became a honey-bee right there at the end... Anyway, thanks for this, because wherever you are, or whatever may come, you are my friend for showing me this.

Beth,mi fa piacere che ti siano piaciuti 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

Glad that you saw your way through

Yeah, me too. This album and, weirdly enough, Stadium Arcadium.

It’s so refreshing I agree

I had that VHS at one point in time, It was killer.

She moves quote a bit air with her Voice, which speaks lack of power. I do like Portishead, but there are better singers out there. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1oWFCkcdmZI.html

@@Battlenude I don't really care.

@si james Check out "Kosheen", they're another trip-hop group from Bristol. They've got a bit more of a drum and bass/ breakbeat influence but have a similar sound with some lovely female vocals.

@si james Try the (early) works of Hooverphonic.

@si james try tricky.✌

Have you listened to Neneh Cherry? She helped pioneer the sound and still continues the trip hop sound today

Check out Kong by Neneh Cherry
