Portishead - Half Day Closing & Over (Bizarre Festival, 1998) Part 1 (HQ)

Probably the most high quality video on UA-cam of this festival performance. It sits at just under 2 gigs.
Favourite lines from Half Day Closing:
From beyond the shrinking skies,
Where money talks and leaves us hypnotized,
It don't pave the way.
Underneath the fading sun,
The silent sum of a businessman,
Has left us choking..
Favourite line from Over:
To tread this fantasy, openly
What have I done?
Ooh this uncertainty, is taking me over...

On the album liner notes Half Day Closing is dedicated to the United States of America. I wonder how many people actually read it, or if they did, how many thought it referred to the country, or immediately thought of The American Metaphysical Circus by the group USA. I'm really worried that those in the third group were in a minority.

Oh shit I never saw that, how could they not be huge fans of USA. I first heard them when Broadcast first came out and they mentioned them so I eventually found the record and it continues to be one of my favorite psych albums.
