Portishead

On May 3, 2008, Portishead delivered an unforgettable performance at Studio 104 in La Plaine-Saint-Denis, France. This concert came a decade after their iconic self-titled album, which was released in 1997. At this point, the band was deep into their comeback phase following a long hiatus, having put out 'Third' in 2008, the album that marked their return with a fresh yet haunting sound. Interestingly, this concert was part of a promotional effort for 'Third,' blending older favorites with newer material. The raw energy and emotional weight of their music really shone through, captivating the audience and showcasing their unique blend of trip-hop, layered soundscapes, and heartfelt lyrics. It's fascinating how their style evolved while still retaining that signature Portishead essence, bridging old and new, making live moments like this feel truly special.
