Plot summary
The concert recording, taped in New York City on 24 July 1997, presents Portishead playing songs from the albums Dummy and Portishead, with thirty orchestra players on stage beside the band. The video credits the New York Philharmonic for that orchestra, though no one in it belongs to that ensemble, and the audio album drops the name. Every performance on the DVD comes from the ballroom, and a bonus section holds music videos and short films.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Portishead: Roseland New York (1998)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Portishead's live video Roseland NYC Live credits the New York Philharmonic, but none of the musicians are members of the Philharmonic, and the orchestra is not credited at all on the audio album.
- Portishead's 1998 album substituted "Sour Times" and "Roads" with recordings from other live performances; a 2023 reissue restored the actual Roseland Ballroom versions and added the full-length "Western Eyes", until then played only in part over the film's credits.
