PortisHeads album Dummy is a masterpiece.

[@thrashersheaf7440]

Trip hop is a musical genre that originated in the late 1980s in the United Kingdom, especially Bristol, England. It has been described as a psychedelic fusion of hip hop and electronica with slow tempos and an atmospheric sound, often incorporating elements of jazz, soul, funk, reggae, dub, R&B, and other genres, typically of electronic music, as well as sampling from movie soundtracks and other eclectic sources. Triphop was so cool man, classic bands such as Sneaker Pimps, Massive Attack, UNKLE, Tricky, Portishead, Groove Armada, Morcheeba, Martina Topley-Bird, Lamb, DJ Shadow, you must check these bands out.

[@nubbypk]

And Zero 7, Hooverphonic and early Bjork.

[@jonibz1456]

Ooo Yeah! Tricky and Zero 7. Moloko’s first album can also be considered Trip Hop

[@karenclark8374]

Massive Attack

[@MelTuly]

Hiya big influence on Trip hop was bands like the Young Gods from Switzerland . Cited by Massive Attack as major influence . I remember watching The Young Gods in a festival in the early nineties. I really can’t remember the festival. Could have been Glastonbury. But loved the Young Gods . Ahead of the the curve and so different at the time . Young Gods - Skin Flowers kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWezn6KqeLuMgq8si=V5IktUSb8uHLhMS4 Young Gods - Summer Eyes ( Doors influence in this one ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5KwZn5jh8qgkJosi=tloXdI4cBnk_A6LW

Very much the sound of late 80s Early 90s British cities. There was all this different music coming out of passing cars, houses, pirate radiom, Dub reaggae sound systems in the estates in the summer...and when all the different sub cultures started going raving togther...it was a musically diverse time

[@noother964]

Portishead are the rarest gem. Always sent chills down my spine, no fillers. Seeing them live was a tremendous experience. Beth's solo work is amazing too.

[@KingOfNebbishes]

Good catch on the Isaac Hayes - the initial sample was from "Ike's Rap II." Tricky also used it for "Hell Is Round The Corner", if I remember correctly.

[@nathalieplum2137]

You are correct!

[@MrPboys1]

Yeah was going to mention love both albums dearly and mad how completely different both tracks are especially as the were released at basically the same time

[@handsomestik]

Love Portishead and Massive Attack

[@chrisv966-sp7dj]

This Roseland Ballroom performance is everything! If you're curious about the Lupe sample, it's Celeste Legaspi "Bolery Medley". Celeste is a Filipino artist, so if you check out the song, she's singing in Tagalog. This part of the 90's was such an era! Love your guys' reactions!!

[@richardhatter3624]

Yes brothers, please go down the triphop rabbit hole. The album Dummy by Portishead is incredible

[@philhallbrook7008]

I can't divorce Portishead the band from the place. Stand on Battery Point, watching the water boil with the second highest tidal drop in the world. Hypnotic, dangerous, beguiling

[@JJReagan]

This song is so smooth and her voice is mesmerizing! Excellent choice guys!

[@maureenwagg5305]

I get chills every time. This performance is gold. Classic. Another excellent use of the wah wah peddle.

[@harvestmoon747]

Aw man.., I totally hear that Lupe connection… like in his Daydreamin track. Thanks again for Portishead. Looking forward to more from them ✌️. Love this band!

[@kellyscott1558]

Mid 90’s Trip Hop is a glorious rabbit hole to travel down 😊 Tricky Maxinquaye album is SO good too

[@Jules-um4yy]

Such a cool, chill song. Love the effects and Beth's voice. Thanks guys.🍂🍃

[@simonpoole2333]

The brilliant Portishead out of Bristol, England, with the wonderful Glory Box. Using an Isaac Hayes sample to add a touch of class to the proceedings

[@johndrx165]

Great performance of my favorite track off Dummy.

[@KevinGannon-r3k]

Thanks for turning me on to this.

[@bjwnashe5589]

I can groove on Trip Hop forever. Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky, Smith and Mighty, etc.

[@Disco_Breakin]

Beth gibbons just ooozes cool.

[@stevedriver1376]

... and nicotine.

[@nathalieplum2137]

So many babies were conceived while the album Dummy was playing in the background. And Massive Attack's Mezzanine album as well.👶🍼

[@lupodelupis3672]

HAHA nice one! But you are so right...now i'm 52 but 30 years ago i remember...😅

[@vickieray]

Geez!! I’ve heard of them but have never HEARD them!! 😮 I could SO listen to this!! Right up my alley & her voice is spot on!! I love it when this 64 yo music lover finds something new to me to listen to & enjoy!! Great reaction ❤ This one is going on my playlist!!!

[@nubbypk]

This is Trip Hop. Go down that rabbit hole and you may never come out again!

[@EclecticInstinct]

Classic British trip hop, Great reaction.

[@Victorthespy008]

Whoa… at first I was ready to just fast forward through this but then it grabbed me… her voice 🎤, his wah wah… 🎸the violins 🎻 Pretty righteous all around

[@kwyatt261]

It's the fuzz guitar for me

[@nubbypk]

I just love how at the end of this incredible performance, Beth just nonchalantly says, "sorry, that was a bit dodgy in places, my fault".

[@ginapurpura1182]

She’s so cool

[@baronofgreymatter14]

Such a great live show

[@FionaMcGuinness-c1w]

First comment ever on KZbin. lol. Love your Bowie reactions by the way. Astute perception on the whenever he says “time” comment. Anyways , saw Portishead in Auckland , NZ in 90’s. NZ crowd huge fans but very quiet , as we can be. Respectful to the show. Anyways Beth missed a cue and they came round again , and she missed again , crowd was silent . It was awkward. Then some dude called out “GO BETH” and suddenly the whole place lost it. We went nuts . It just went off from then and at the end they literally had to carry Beth off stage. I think she may have even got down into the crowd. She was so amped by the crowd. Magic moment. ! Also saw the Wailers live , no Bob sadly, when I was about 11, I think my parents thought it was some orchestral world music - he, he. Perhaps Bowie Wild is the Wind black and white video version someday. ? His vocals literally become the wind and trees. I love your guys takes. Thanks / Kia Ora.

[@nathalieplum2137]

Wow! What a memory to have!

[@katjawege6886]

I looove that song ❤

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

I really like this ❤️thank you both

[@mtnvalley9298]

Thanks gents. I've always enjoyed her. And your reactions too

[@Hmuondestiny]

The day has arrived finaly❤

[@allengray5748]

Bypassed a few reactions on this band as I never heard of them. Glad I visit you two!! Amazing sound and nice Lounge Jazzy vibe singer. Now I have to Tube this band and see wassup! Thanks Beats! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🤟🏼🎸

[@Grizazzle]

Fantastic band! Excellent song!

[@ginapurpura1182]

I love this band so much, great reaction! Their album, Dummy, help me through a really tough time in the 90s. I had it on repeat!

[@dab_family9405]

Dummy is perfection. Can't top a CD like that.

[@ginapurpura1182]

@ totally agree! It’s an album to get lost in.

[@cjonesufc]

“Dummy” is a fantastic album from front to back. Such a great live show, too.

[@yournamehere6002]

The second album is great too

[@johnprice6066]

I was fortunate enough to have seen Portishead in 1998... They were impeccable (a word I don't use often, mainly because I can't fucking spell it). Ade Utley, Geoff Barrow, and the lovely Beth Gibbons are devastating live. Seriously, one of the best shows, musically, that I've seen. 🖤

[@timothyjones4696]

Thank you guys for not talking all the way through the song, you respected the music and respect comes back to you! Portishead are a great band from Bristol, England.

[@sea6bear]

You guys are going deep now …. Love this stuff, looks like you’re ready to crack 61k subscribers, I’ve been here since 16k .😊imagine what it cost to put this performance together!

[@davo_7486]

The tune they play for the encore is a banging mixture

[@normaleehi]

for new Portishead fans, songs to catch up: 'Roads' 'Sour Times' 'Mysterons' 'All Mine' 'The Rip' 'Wandering Star' 'Deep Water' 'Machine Gun' 'We Carry On' 'Magic Doors' 'Chase The Tear' welcome aboard. Bliss out in the dark,, ✌️🙏😓

[@pabloalvez915]

Portishead was one of the greatest UK´s Trip - Hop acts in the 90´s, they were amazing. Please do check Beth Gibbon´s solo work, though completely different, it´s really nice.

[@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath]

I always preferred Sneaker Pimps

[@pabloalvez915]

@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath there was a cool trip-hop scene mostly in Bristol in the 90´s; i love massive attack, attica blues, morcheeba, tricky, etc. great times

[@jenniferfoster1692]

I love this song, I just totally forgot it's from PortisHead! It's been used in a bunch of movies/tv shows, if I remember correctly. I used to listen to Morcheeba a lot, reminds me of that vibe, too. Great reaction, guys!

[@steveayres49]

Members of Portishead ended up working with Robert Plant. Made some great albums and toured together

[@galvinklatt5273]

Great song, Great reaction.

[@kubrickshithouse9350]

I saw Portishead back in 1997. Beth was mesmerizing.... and she smoked throughout the entire set.

[@normaleehi]

shes so hot,, like pj harvey,, u cant tell if u want to be with her or be her, ha 😻

[@Maxwell-u5c]

What does smoking have to do w it?

[@GWHinCA]

​@@Maxwell-u5c it's just an observation... It's unusual and interesting. Don't overthink it.

[@Maxwell-u5c]

@@GWHinCA no I’m not criticizing I’m honestly curious why that stuck out to you. Just that it was a cool thing to do? I mean it is. It def works well in movies

[@BanditHeelerOhBiscuits]

Ewww! Bet she has bad breathe. 🤢

[@stumblinharris2219]

The Hayes sample well-spotted! Something special happened in the early to mid-nineties in Bristol - Portishead, Massive Attack, and Tricky, just to name the three biggest successes. Martina Topley Bird - the woman who sang with Tricky on his classic Maxinquaye album - has a solo album called Quixotic which I can't recommend enough. It didn't get its deserved props when it came out but has aged like the finest wine since

[@brandonboucher7090]

That was DOPE!!!!

[@sproutzer]

They’re so amazing I saw them at Coachella in the 00’s. Great live performance. Top 20 artist for me

[@stevecass19]

Love it guys ❤

[@destinyreelly2974]

Oooooooh yeeeaaaahhhhh. ❤❤❤

[@baronofgreymatter14]

Welcome to Triphop!

[@osufan77]

That Roseland live album is an absolute classic. I took so many hits of acid to it, great memories.

[@artharrison9586]

Amazing!

[@goldenboy140]

The string sample actually is from a Isaac Hayes song so you were right

[@bobsavage3317]

☮

[@GodLovesComics]

It's interesting that so many reactors are just discovering Portishead now. I head some KZbin "influencer" talking about how she heard the song on TikTop memes just the other day. Anyway, I bought this on CD when it came out and the whole album is a masterpiece. They typically get labeled as "trip hop" because there was a time when it was still very new to meld this sort of sound with hip hop beats and scratching. To that end you should definitely check out Tricky (he actually does a fantastic version of Public Enemy's "Black Steel") and Massive Attack.

[@narcotect]

The 90's peak of human culture

[@wanderlustaesthete4117]

Trip hop 🤘🏽

[@jasonseiter3323]

Dude I seen it. The look in your eyes at the end. That's it. She wins.

[@JoeandAngie]

They have a strange charm that's quite alluring.

[@user-Auscat]

My favourite song from Portishead. Hubby has been playing this album a lot lately.

[@LuisHernandez-xq8lx]

Trip Hop, such great music too bad it was short lived, hope it makes a comeback😢😢😢😢

[@DiscGoStu]

Dummy is a soundtrack without a movie

[@robinfoster7597]

Trip Hop, the sound of Bristol, UK. The DJ - this is his project! Check out Massive Attack too. Great reaction, really enjoyed, thanks. :)

[@MrWestie1985]

More Portishead please!

[@doplinger1]

Love this song, incredible that she needs to smoke the whole time.

[@JoeandAngie]

Freedom, son. Freedom.

[@doplinger1]

@ - freedom to smoke? 😆

[@unfilthy]

Trip Hop's a favorite of mine. I suggest you look into Tricky doing a complete reinterpretation of Public Enemy's "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" It's just called "Black Steel" but honestly anything from that era would be great. Everyone always listens to Portishead and Massive Attack and forget about Tricky

[@cjonesufc]

Y’all mentioned a familiarity with Lupe Fiasco. If you’re a fan Lupe recommends you should react to some Aesop Rock. I grew up on most of the music you react to and while I’ve always liked rap and hip hop I was always more into rock and metal. Aesop Rock, however, has become my favorite artist of any genre and while I know it’s not what you do here, I highly recommend you check him out on your own. If you want a good sampler playlist I’m happy to pick 10 or 12 great tracks to get you started. Loved the reaction btw.

[@edmundgp]

Thank you for the great video. I hope you get around to “Cowboys” from the same concert.

[@dpe4]

I saw them at the Greek on the Berkeley campus. They were great

[@Ahzpayne]

The one doing DJ duties here is producer Geoff Barrow. Check out his work with his project Quakers. Even if it's offline. You won't be disappointed. Actually anything he does is worth a listen. His band Beak> is excellent also.

[@osufan77]

I can't even imagine if you guys heard Tricky's debut Maxinquaye

[@group-music]

You were right. This song is based on an Isaac Hayes sample.

[@mledbetter]

Trip hop is great.

[@14gilbertst]

I don't know......I've seem versions of this performance that didn't have the string so jacked up in the mix. Her vocal performance is the highlight and is usually the centerpiece of the performance. Look around if you haven't seen this before and you care.

Spot on guys “ike’s rap ll” Isaac Hayes sample on this. Beth apologises for a performance that sounds faultless to our ears. That’s the perfection of Portishead . Check out Tricky also part of the Bristol trip hop his album maxinquaye is an essential listen

[@brendandunleavy1399]

You're not the first Americans I've heard to bring Issac Hayes into the mix, its a good call, check out Portisheads 3 albums,also if you have time try Tricky out,especially Maxinequaye or Pre millennium tension,check out Massive Attack if you want to do yourselves a favour,They're the most famous bands from the Bristol area from the genre,but there's lots more.
