  I saw them play live once -- the DJ I told above was their support 
  act -- and that was rather mediocre.  The lady sang out of tune quite 
  often, and the piano player clearly had a hard time playing the 
  bluesy piano lines live.  All in all the DJ was more impressive than 
  the band :-).  Still like their CDs though.

  Four years ago I went to see one of my fav bands Sonic Youth play a festival here in Stockholm. They had a bad day and did a lousy gig. But then Portishead entered the stage and surprised me with a brilliant set! The did not "play" much though, but the general sound and mood they created was nothing but breathtaking. And, yes, Beth was incredibly shy and sung with her back fronting the audience for about the first three songs, but it was good. To my ears even the "blue" notes went great with the context. Guess the had ha good day ;)
