Portishead - PYNC Roseland NYC Live - Vinyl Record 2LP
On 24 July 1997, before their second album was even in shops, Portishead took the stage at New York's Roseland Ballroom with a 28-piece orchestra conducted by Nick Ingman. Geoff Barrow, Adrian Utley and Beth Gibbons rebuilt their songs around strings and horns, and the result became one of the most celebrated live albums of the decade.
The orchestra gives the Bristol trio's trip-hop a cinematic sweep without losing any of its tension. Turntable scratches and heavy breakbeats sit against swelling arrangements, and Gibbons' voice has rarely sounded more fragile or more commanding. "Humming", "Cowboys" and "Mysterons" feel even darker here, while "Glory Box", "Sour Times" and a breathtaking "Roads" are among the finest performances the band ever recorded. Most of the set was captured that night at Roseland, with two songs taken from shows on the 1998 tour.
Released on Go! Beat across two LPs, this is an essential companion to Dummy and Portishead and a must for any trip-hop collection.

Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.
If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.
After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.
Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
