Just got back in the last hour, absolutely fucking incredible gig, the best this year (and I've seen The Jesus and Mary Chain, so its saying something). I'm not sure if we have any fans here, to be honest they're a bit of a marmite band, but they were shockingly loud, dark and depressing live. I hugged Beth Gibbons, and don't feel like washing for a while now. I never thought today would come and they'd finally come back after a decade, I'd been expecting the new album since 2005, but hell will it be worth the wait - They played alot of tracks from it, and all I'll say is theres some instant Portishead classics on Third. Though they're the most depressing band I can think of, after seeing them live I will die a happy man...
