Portishead performed their new songs in Berlin at invite only gig for a German radio station yesterday (March 19).
Surrounded by 400 guests and competition winners, the band performed a nine-song set, mostly comprising of songs from ‘Third’.
They played in the middle of the crowd for the intimate show.
Due to the nature of the session, several of tracks were restarted or performed more than once to find the perfect take.
However despite the difficulties, Portishead enjoyed a friendly atmosphere with Barrow excusing the group by explaining “it’s been a long time”.
Check out the new video of Machine Gun from the official site or YouTube. Also, in this link there is a short promo video featuring the band working on the album in studio. It’s a documentary and there is a possibility that this movie is the one included in the limited edition box set of Third.
