#16 PORTISHEAD - Live at Tower Ballroom, Blackpool 1995 (Flac)

Next up is another 90's band and again a BBC FM radio production, not pre-fm but a superb performance with sound quality to match.
Portishead released their debut album Dummy in 1994 it's now regarded as a classic and this live set not only features some of the best tracks from that album but includes two songs that would appear two year's later on their second self titled release. Also featured is a live performance of the UK b-side 'It's A Fire which appeared on North American and Australian versions of the debut release.

  2. You are welcome, some great bands came out of the 90's most of the best current bands began then. Certainly a more productive period for music than the last twelve years in my opinion, but then maybe i'm getting too old!

  3. This needs normalizing when ripped off the cd before encoding. It's slightly clipped & distorted. Decoded it to .wav and loaded in cool edit, it goes of the scale & is clipped.

    Beats my copy i taped off Radio 1 tho.
