Roseland NYC Live

Content

The album was engineered by Rik Simpson.

Unlike the CD, all the tracks on the DVD were recorded at the Roseland Ballroom. The DVD version has a bonus elements section, containing the music videos for "Numb", "Sour Times", "All Mine", "Over" and "Only You", as well as short films "Road Trip" and "Wandering Star" and the Portishead short film To Kill a Dead Man.

25th Anniversary Reissue

In 2023, a newly Remastered and Expanded Version was released.

The tracklisting now includes "Undenied" and "Numb" from the concert film, and the full length performance of "Western Eyes", which was played in part over the credits of the film. Also, "Sour Times" and "Roads" are now the actual Roseland Ballroom versions, since previously these were substituted on the 1998 album release with recordings from other live performances. These new remastered tracks were available digitally/online in late 2023, while the CD and Vinyl versions were released on 26 April 2024.
