Tour album100th Window2003 · 100th Window TourThe tour presents 100th Window, represented at Pinkpop by Future Proof, Name Taken and Antistar.“To see Daddy G on the Pinkpop stage after sitting out the recording of 100th Window.”
Context
On June 8, 2003, Massive Attack reaches the Pinkpop south stage with a change of scale: the Bristol collective works with a band of instrumentalists and a huge video screen. 100th Window had come out in February, made without Daddy G, who here shares the stage with Robert Del Naja again.
Future Proof opens the way for Risingson and Angel. Horace Andy takes Angel and Name Taken; Dot Allison sings Teardrop; Deborah Miller leads Safe From Harm and Unfinished Sympathy. During Safe From Harm, the screen turns military spending into public information. Guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and violin give body to the meeting of electronics and band.
The show goes on to VPRO's radio programming, with a broadcast announced for June 16. The audiovisual archive preserves ten songs, up to Unfinished Sympathy, while Group Four is left out of this cut of the performance. Between the new tracks and the guest voices, the recording holds the effort to bring studio density into the open space of a festival.
- Safe From Harm crosses Deborah Miller's voice with military spending projected on the screen.
- Horace Andy sings Angel and Name Taken; Dot Allison takes Teardrop.
