Portishead and massive attack are always a good listen for me, I'm from bristol so it's close to my heart growing up

[@wilks6]

Portishead were considered a leading act of the "trip-hop" genre.

[@littlejimmy7402]

...And, FYI No band that's affiliated to "trip-hop" like the name given to the genre, I think it's cool. Which is kind of a guarantee that it's probably not.

[@bojandjekic1]

Massive Attack and then Portishead IMHO

[@bojandjekic1]

Yeeeaaa... 30 years of listening and still I get chills every time I listen to Portishead

[@blade1535]

Now listen to the studio version. This band is hip hop beats with so much moodiness and feeling. Their first two albums were on high rotation for me in the 90s.

[@Music-tg5is]

Been on high rotation for me ever since. Timeless!

[@beatsperminute2002]

THAT CIGARETTE!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I honestly, watch the Roseland performance twice a year. ❤❤❤

[@dr_regularlove]

Portishead released their seminal album Dummy 30 years ago yesterday, securing their place in history as a foundational stone in the emerging genre of trip hop. That's what brought me to this video today and man what a joy it is to share someone hearing Glory Box for the first time. It's almost like getting to hear it for the first time again myself. Beth Gibbons, enough said. If you wanna hear an incredible tribute in a very different genre, see what you think of the Glory Box cover by Author & Punisher.

[@Miss-Katie]

Brilliant song, brilliant album. Adore Beth Gibbons lush tones.

[@Autotrope]

Ha I love you recognised the sample there. This song takes me back to a certain time.

[@razzleland]

I love seeing the joy on the face of the next generation, when they listen to music that transformed my life when I was in college. Trust me.... I had the same reaction as you did, when I first heard them. Cheers! Happy that you enjoyed it.

[@kazanketton9361]

Dummy is a such a good album top to bottom. Beth has such an enthralling voice.

[@portiadavenport9866]

This track in particular reminds me so much of the old 40's lounge singers :)

[@wyldeindigo]

Oh the memories of high school in the early 90's Its a sexy song

[@stevious7278]

I hear this and it makes me ink of Billie Holiday and the blues ladies from the 40s. I'm transported back to a smoky late night bar in the grungy part of the city; where the whisky is cheap and the lights are dim. Truly special is Beth Owens

[@ivydreams]

Love this song, It samples "Ike's Rap II" by Isaac Hayes, 1971 Black Moses album.

[@AndyViant]

Trip hop. What you're hearing is Trip Hop. Portishead and Massive Attack are without a doubt the Number 1 exponents of that sound. Portishead Dummy was an utterly brilliant album and you can pretty much pick anything with that jazzy 30's style sample and loop, but also Massive Attack (also saw them live, amazing) and their Mezzanine and Blue Lines albums you simply can't go wrong with. Try Sour Times or Roads from Portishead, and Protection, Unfinished Sympathy and Teardrop from Massive Attack.

[@littlejimmy7402]

Honorable mention for Tricky

[@wolfman-up7dh]

The band was started by a DJ. The band itself is a DJ, a guitarist, and a singer. I think that combination really makes their sound unique.

[@Biomirth]

Nah, I mean, that is hardly enough of a story. These cats studied the sound they wanted to create, like architects building the world's first bridge they carefully put all the pieces together and it took them many years. "DJ" is not a synopsis for that.

[@travisbickle1552]

I saw Portishead for the first and only time in like 95 or 96. And the thing that struck me the most was that she had a cigarette lit for the entire show! So, good for you for catching that 😂. Also the Dj for Portishead did a dj set before they came on that blew my mind. It was an awesome show and one I’ll always remember

[@abandonedbuildingexplorer]

"So don't you stop being a man; just take a little look from our (woman's) side if you can" Bars! 🔥

[@jonathanlocke6404]

She has a real 20's speakeasy vibe...

[@RegnaSaturna]

You can imagine how we reacted when we first heard it in 1995, right?

[@Codex7777]

Virtually everything by Portishead is brilliant! I'd recommend 'Sour Times' for your next listen though. She was suffering with a really bad sore throat for this concert and apologised for her 'poor' performance! lol :)

[@AutomanicJack]

thanks for mentioning new birth wildflower, didnt know it and i listened to it and loved it

[@dab_family9405]

Spot on about Eilish. I can see her covering this too, or many of Portishead's songs. BTW - genre is Trip Hop and it's pronounced poor-tis-hed.

[@user-lo6yo9yv3d]

Portishead makes their own samples

[@mikeb7379]

Port is head. It's a small somewhat dreary estuary town near Bristol, (my home town), on west coast England. Lol.

[@robhtp3817]

I never get tired of chillin to Portishead!

[@SnailMailShell]

She gives me Eartha Kitt vibes. 🥰

[@hauntedhoes4218]

"what in the vampires in Brooklyn" lmao i'm stealing that line. i know u meant werewolves in london but that is amazing

[@kogrady2409]

Such a dope track. This album is a work of art.

[@RyanESmail]

I’ve been a huge fan of Portishead since early 2000s and I have NEVER considered who could cover a track like this and be worthwhile, but Billie Eilish!!! 😱 You couldnt have said it better

[@chiefaberach]

Tricky used the same sample for Hell Is Round The Corner, which came out around the same time. I can't hear one song without thinking of the other. "My brain thinks bomb-like".

[@AndyViant]

Also, for those not in the know. A glory box is traditionally a gift given to the man to compensate them for the fact they have to provide for the woman (rather than her father) after marriage. There may also be a deliberate undertone of erm a different kind of box as a double entendre (a french phrase meaning two meanings). I'm gonna leave that one in your imagination. It seems she's not playing unlike the other girls...

[@stevenm7692]

If a song was a sedative, this would be the choice, it has the sound of " load that weapon with hammer and boot me up" lol

[@chrislemoh2019]

Such a tune. Great performance to pick - Beth G really pulled out the stops for that one. You were right about the vampire vibe, too: if you can track down a film called "Nadja", Portishead did the soundtrack.

[@ziasciortino]

Beth Gibbons reminds me of Billie Holiday at times.

[@annpulbrook9033]

I saw on an interview recently, Madonna was originally asked to do the vocals for this song. Thank goodness she said no. This is my favourite song. It would not have been the same.

[@markgardiner1742]

Wasn't that for massive attack. Deffo not Portishead.

[@overundersidewaysdown]

Hear that guitar solo? It'll curl your hair and bend your knees.

[@matthewgoodA1206]

I used to know a beautiful girl who loved this song so much. It was the kind of thing where she was just basically like, This is my song.

[@matthewgoodA1206]

@@TumblingDownTheKZbinHole I have not seen the official music video for this song.

[@carolcarol3938]

Memories .... I love it

[@Rosannasfriend]

I loved this song!

[@aftonair]

Try Portishead "Only You", or "Numb".

[@aladindelic]

ty for an awesome reaction for this awesome song and performance

[@Biomirth]

Damn bro, your own voice sounds right up there with Beth. Would love to see you sing with her.

[@Torthrodhel]

Hadn't heard this particular live version of it yet, nice choice.

[@violetcrimes]

the scorn remix from the craft of this goes HARD

[@tylerhackner9731]

Yess

[@subtle704]

The sample is from Isaac Hayes 'Ike's Rap 2'

[@richardwhitehead4684]

When Cyrille Aimee covers a song, you know it’s awesome.

[@AndyViant]

You need to hear the studio version too. While they are better on the album due to Beth's notorious stage fright, I saw them with my gf live and it was something truly incredible.

[@vincedemarchis7238]

Por.. tis.. head.. not porttisheed

[@calvinmontgomery4245]

Just a little something, they used to open for public enemy ( noise music) while in Europe

[@kcrowder7]

That’s the sound of trip hop

[@e.fstone6217]

Por - tuhs- hed

[@AndyViant]

Por 'tis head also works. It's the name of a town in England. That simultaneously got the pi55 taken out of and the biggest promotion of its existance

[@AndyViant]

Oh yeah, sorry to hear about your dad dude. Hope you're all keeping up ok.

[@skinheadjon901]

Portishead heavily sampled Argentinian composer Lalo Schifrin 🌞🎶🎥😎🙌👍

[@jlew1740]

Which came first, “Wildflower” or “Ike’s Rap II”?

[@user-ii7qu6xp2z]

❤❤❤

[@grambo1980]

Tricky had a great trip-hop album as well. But portishead is S tier

[@southpawscientific4122]

I like the cigarette too 🔥

[@JustMe-uc8wj]

Portiss head

[@garryiglesias4074]

Isaac Hayes "Ike's Rap II"... THIS is the original...

[@wormeater888]

You should react to Hole - Violet You won’t be disappointed I promise

[@littlemouse7066]

Other people sampled them not the other way around.

[@BellumCarroll]

Trip-hop

[@eljayr517]

5 seconds in and already interrupting listen first comment AFTER!

[@lawrencekelli]

I'm sure you have listen to them b4? Trip Hop R&B Cool Shit..that's the sound!

[@michelleclark79709]

It’s pronounced Portis Head

[@jwalkerinboots]

Portis Head, the head of a portis. Not shed.

[@SlowfingerJC]

Cigarette...... she's tokin' a spliff ....

[@theubiquejim]

did you honestly say 'a good little group'?

[@abeltherosegod]

Biscuit will fuck you up due to the gritty instrumental and her voice over it

[@kimgardner3341]

Portis…head. 😂… not Portis shead 😘

[@def_not_dan]

God, this takes me back. Don't think too hard about what it's about. Or do if you want. It's so perfectly vague and meaningless.

[@DDCCO61]

John Martyns version shows the root.

[@sirex02]

Pour-TIS-HEAD

[@aotea6983]

Glory box and give me a reason to be a woman. Reckon you can join the dots!

[@EverendeverGroup]

You mentioned Billie Eilish, but I would rather hear Billie Holliday sing this.

[@Toobeegort]

Do yourself a favor and listen to Beth Gibbons cover S.O.S. by ABBA you will never look at ABBA the same again.

[@levivalentinovideos]

It's pronounced Poor Tiss Head FYI I'm from Bristol where this type of music was from and the band are named after the town of Portishead which is near Bristol

[@karenbrown5584]

This is one of my all time favorites but the live version is so cringe. I couldn’t even finish. It sounds like the radio playing the CD is fucked up and melting. To truly appreciate Portishead you have to listen to the studio version.

[@BineyT]

Tender and patient. I agree brother

[@mirjamvond1731]

And sexy 👀
