Portishead - Elysium (Roseland NYC) (HQ)

Portishead - Elysium
From the 1997 concert in Roseland New York.
Lyrics:
No one has said what the truth should be
And no one decided that I'd feel this way
If you felt as I
Would you betray yourself
But, you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me
No one should fear what they cannot see
And no ones to blame it's just hypocrisy
It's written in your eyes
And how I despise myself
But, you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me
And it's your heart
That's so wrong
Mistaken
You'll never know
Your feathered sacred self
But, you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me
And you can't deny how I feel
And why should you decide for me

The greatest beat that The RZA never wrote.

[@misterbamboostick]

To me Beth Gibbons is the best female singer ever. This concert, their songs, her voice can bring tears to my eyes and give me goosebumps every time I hear or see it. I'm an atheist but it simply sounds almost divine to me. I think that's the definition of shear beauty.

[@tracystuff6523]

Probably was, is or will be an ' angel ' . I used to be an atheist, then I was agnostic. Then I was like - alright... SOMETHING OR WHATEVER is totally goin on and all like WHAT?! Stuff IS definitely 'mysterious' in it's inner connected weavings and workings. Anyway. Do take into account that she is wearing a little gold cross and the things they write about in general, not to mention actual bible quotes and references in songs. And the simple weirdness of things like this... Shear is specifically related to cutting or removing things while sheer is related to fabric or used for emphasis. OoooOoooOooo 👻, Mysterious.

[@misterbamboostick]

@@tracystuff6523 Yes, I notice the shear/sheer-mistake now, but apparently it's too late to edit. Well, English isn't my first language, so mistakes happen sometimes.

[@tracystuff6523]

That's not what I meant. Was it really a 'mistake' or part of weird mysterious things that just happen? Consider the words themselves and their meanings and symbolism more. Have a good day.

[@agfchacal]

anyone noticed how Adrian and Beth both smile, after Beth mistake at 2:04? is so cool, how they are all connected when playing :D

[@vanessabarragan3269]

I had to go back and see. Can’t believe o missed that

[@ManWalksDogs]

in the liner notes she thanks the boys from the band for putting up with her mistakes on the night or wtte

[@dextermm]

The best Trip-Hop song ever !!

[@redcatt6272]

Portishead, unbelievable Group 🤩🤩🤩

[@Capernahum]

2:44 and ON How difficult it was to repeat this on a cassette back in the days :)

[@metro2673]

hands down my favorite portishead song

[@TheSchemer1]

Mine too - this should have come after Roads!

[@eddiemaiden0862]

Same here

[@tomemyscoobies]

It actually astounds me, given the pretty dull climate of music today, how something so artistic and raw like Portishead could have existed! Thank the people below that they do.

[@lariukin]

Great music still exists. Just hard to find through tons of pop

[@leidyperez1441]

Tengo el el

[@dylannotsor6955]

Somehow this song makes more sense when I see them perform it live. Some of portisheads lyrics are very raw so seeing them perform it live puts it together.

[@Junglistic77]

Just fucking wow! Sounds better now than when it came out and that is saying something. Portishead fuckin up people's equilibrium 25 years later. Respect

[@zachgibson22]

Absolutely amazing band. This sounds as if it could be a 007 theme!

Y cada vez que paqueen a la consuelo un troyano más fuerte

[@TheSchemer1]

Gotta love that low level guitar strumming at 0:22 so freaking badass.

[@reallifehack3312]

I should have learned the guitar 🎸 when I was young. That would have been my salvation.

[@TheSchemer1]

im shit at guitar and I can still play E minor its just one chord

[@stephenc5181]

I've always wondered if that's a homage to the "Celestial Voices" section of Pink Floyd's "A Saucerful of Secrets", at the 2.44 min/sec mark.

[@stephencrowley3939]

@2.44. I feel this next part may have been inspired by the "Celestial Voices" section of "A Saucerful Of Secrets" from Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@simontrem080]

I'm an alcoholic who relaps to this

[@brianthesnail5452]

I’ll drink to that 🍺

Is that clive deamer on drums? I'm loving his band, Get The Blessing.

[@segervind]

Yes it him ..he provided the drum beats for the first and second portishead albums

[@thetributingstrober552]

I am going to be covering this very shortly I just hope I can do this justice

[@luisochoa7933]

someone tell me the notes of the chorus please🎸guitar

Y todo lo que digo es verdad

[@sergecharlebois6114]

This song describes just how fucked up 2020 and beyond feels like...

[@aletiscareno57]

2:03 that guitar chord shouldn't been played XD

nun was sollte man sagen, eure Kunst fehlt, mal etwas altes aus euren Archiven würde die Fans auch erfreuen, alternative Versionen eurer Studioalben, eure soundboards von 1995 bis heute, die vielen Kameraeinstellungen eurer Konzerte, denkt ihr auch machmal an die Menschen welche euren Wohlstand geschaffen haben.... seid kreativ, Einnahmen kann man auch spenden.Well what should one say, your art is missing, something old from your archives would also please the fans, alternative versions of your studio albums, your soundboards from 1995 to today, the many camera angles of your concerts, do you sometimes think of the people who are your wealth have created .... be creative, income can also be donated.

[@brucesnider5714]

I love how nobody is moving, cept for the dude at the beginning. And we all know where he's going. Straight to hell, that's where.

[@carloscuevas2499]

Paqueense las voces

[@JanaShute]

I always wonder who this crowd is made up of. I saw them the same year of this show, and we didn't stand around looked bored at all.

[@alldamnnamesaretaken]

listening intensely and appreciating great music in peace, isn't the same as standing around looking bored.

[@josephreynolds2401]

I prefer a venue like a theater that is quieter. The music SOUNDS better than at VERY large venues like stadiums or at a bar show where the drunk folk yell over each other and the music. To each their own.

[@WSO83]

Exactly this. This ain't rave music.. lol those people in the croud are in another world listening to this great piece of music live.. pure appreciation
