PJ Harvey - Live Performance of 50ft Queenie, A Place Called Home, and Man-Size at Pukkelpop 2003 in Hasselt, Belgium
On August 30, 2003, PJ Harvey performed live at Pukkelpop in Belgium, right on the heels of her critically acclaimed album "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea" released in 2000. This period marked a significant moment in her career, as that album won the Mercury Prize and solidified her status as a powerful voice in rock. With songs like '50ft Queenie' showcasing her raw energy and commanding stage presence, Harvey combined her punk roots with a more polished sound. The live recording captures her fierce artistry during a time when she was fully embracing her evolution as an artist—both lyrically and sonically. Harvey's uncanny ability to merge vulnerability with ferocity was on full display, making this performance not just a concert, but an immersive experience for fans.
