Adrian Utleyby Portishead, has overseen the entire production of the reissue. “I always have the memory of this concert in my memory that we played before releasing our second album. It was the first time that the public could hear the new songs and we did it to launch that album. We were very careful with the orchestrations and how it was going to be filmed. It preceded a year of a world tour for us. Recorded and filmed at the legendary Roseland Ballroom in New York, which unfortunately no longer exists. This reissue includes 3 songs that have not been released before and we have remastered them.”said the English musician.
