LIVE: PORTUGAL. THE MAN (LOLLAPALOOZA PARIS)



Dubbed by many as a ‘one hit wonder’, Portugal. The Man proved they’re anything but. They played continuously, linking songs with intricate instrumentals or snippets of covers including a brilliant rendition of the T. Rex classic, ‘Children of the Revolution’. They kept the talking to a minimum, flying, gliding through songs effortlessly, not stopping to change or tune guitars. The infectious hit, ‘Feel It Still’ closed the set to a euphoric reception however the set highlights came from elsewhere, with the glorious chorus of ‘Live In The Moment’ receiving a rave reaction and older hits including ‘Hip Hop Kids’ and ‘Modern Jesus’ standing strong on their own.
