On May 3, 2008, Portishead, the legendary band from Bristol, England, played to a private audience in La Plaine Saint Denis on French television. This is the first time Portishead had played a gig since their Tsnunami Relief benefit concert with Massive Attack in 2005. This private show was a lead-up to the release of their album Third, which had been a long eleven years in the making. What made this such a special show is that the bands set list spanned all three of their studio albums, affording the audience an encapsulated view of their past discography, while also revealing new songs from their upcoming album Third.

Documentary about Portishead, who may not have invented trip-hop, but they were among the first to popularize it. Filmed after the release of their first album, Dummy, it exposes the band on both a professional and personal level.

This journey down the Avon gorge was filmed from the riverbank, from a boat and from the Portishead railway. Among views of the estuary, the cargo ship Vera and the fine wooden warship Formidable (then a training ship), Portishead docks and the entrance to the Clifton Rocks Railway. This underground funicular railway linked the town to the riverbank just below the Clifton Suspension Bridge. [BFI]

Back in February of 2005, Massive Attack and Portishead shared the stage for the first time ever whilst preforming live as a part of the fund raising concert for the Tsunami Crisis in Asia @ the Bristol Academy.
