311 Livestream 4/16/21

This was the third livestream of the evening for me but by the time I tuned in an hour deep I was just able to catch the ending of “Cali Soca,” “Dancehall” and “Livin’ N’ Rockin’” before this stream was over. 311 gives the ability to watch the stream for 72 hours after the original broadcast but I had never watched their streams anything other than live so had no idea that the streams are only re-broadcast at certain times until I tried to watch from the beginning later in the night. During the second attempt I happened to tune in as they were beginning “Leaving Babylon” so I got that song, “Mindspin” and the full “Cali Soca” before I was caught up to my original viewing. 

It is said that the third time is a charm and this third attempt at viewing the stream finally allowed a successful viewing of the entire thing. After watching the last couple of pre-recorded streams I really appreciated the live aspect of this one.

After an hour of interviews about the album, that heavy riff in “Freeze Time” I love so much started things out. It was hard to not notice how much fun the band seemed to be having a during “Come Original.” One of my favorites on the album, “Flowing,” was also unsurprisingly one of my favorites of the whole performance. 311 always brings it and this stream was no exception.

SETLIST: Freeze Time, Come Original, Large in the Margin, Flowing, Can’t Fade Me, Life’s Not a Race, Strong All Along, Sever, Eons, Evolution, Leaving Babylon, Mindspin, Seal the Deal, Cali Soca, Dancehall, Livin’ N’ Rockin’
