311 Livestream 3/11/21

Transistor was released on August 5, 1997 and the first time I ever saw 311 was exactly three months later on November fifth. While this stream was not half the experience of that concert it was still special. Maybe it was due to the stream actually being on 3/11 but something just felt different about this one versus the other two I had seen. Maybe it is just because I forgot how many songs I really like on the album. Maybe the band was stoned? Whatever the reason(s) I thoroughly enjoyed seeing/hearing 311 play the shit out of “Transistor,” “Beautiful Disaster,” “Electricity,” “Use of Time,” “The Continuous Life,” “Color,” “Light Years,” “Borders” and “Stealing Happy Hours.” S.A. Martinez has a unique voice and his singing on “Inner Light Spectrum” was stellar. Before performing “Light Years” Nick Hexum said that the song was tentatively named “Ghost Town Reggae.” Apparently ghosts killed the bass after that because P-Nut was out of service for the whole song but the rest of the band carried on like the professionals that they are.
