And the best part is.they look like they are having a blast on stage the whole time (the way its supposed to be). The band is on fire, and the entire show has a feel of "playing above and beyond the call of duty." The fact that the show is 5 hours total speaks for itself. Therefore, they play their asses off every time they step foot in the N.O. New Orleans is, indeed, 311's home away from home. They frequented the Crescent City in those days, and the crowds showed up in full force every time. My first show was at the State Palace Theatre way back in '94. Growing up in the New Orleans area, I had tons of opportunities to see 311 live during junior high and high school. I'll start by saying.I've been "Down" since '94. I loved it, the whole experience, and I recommend it to anyone.Ĭontributor organisation: JP studios Great Concert.not the best DVD. Every transition to a different part of the song, came with a new and interesting light set up. Looking down on the stage from the upper level was something I wasn't used to for 311 concerts (I have always been on the floor.) I was amazed at how well the light show fit to each song. I don't think they showed enough of the crowd, and they didn't have enough shots of the entire stage from a distance. I was somewhat disappointed with the camera work, however. When I show it to someone who doesn't know much about 311, it is not hard to find a few songs to fit their taste, no matter what kind of music they like. I was lucky enough to 'steal five happy hours' and attend this amazing concert, and there is no comparison to seeing the lights, hearing the sounds, kickin ass in a mosh pit, and tokin' on the reefer!This DVD is impressive because of the sheer volume of music. Of course watching them on DVD is nothing like actually being there. (I am an exception) Now they have a chance for more and more people to be indirectly exposed to their raw live energy. So many 311 fans out there didn't really become very big fans untill they saw the band live. Martinez – vocals, scratches (Credited as Count S.A.This DVD is a big step for 311. "Juan Bond", "Next (Instrumental)", "Sweet (Demo)" without SA's vocal and "Firewater" at its normal speed (leaked on the internet around '96)."Outside" (available on the "National Lampoon's Senior Trip" soundtrack)."Who's Got the Herb?" (studio version available on the " Hempilation: Freedom Is NORML" compilation, live version available on the "Live" album)."Tribute", "Let the Cards Fall", "Gap" and "Firewater (Slo-mo)" (available on the " Enlarged to Show Detail" EP).The initial pressing of the album was distributed by "RED" and later re-pressed and distributed by Mercury Records in 1996 (note the tray card and disk updated with Mercury contact information and slightly washed out color on the disk front). "Misdirected Hostility" was written in reference to the violence between the Phunk Junkeez and their back-up vocalist K-Tel Disco. They also describe the album as " Beasties-cum- Chili Peppers traits has a potent reggae undertow". Martinez lend the band an edge not found in the majority of bands that feature rapping over rock beats." Rolling Stone says the album has "ear candy with good beats" and "remarkably adept at genre juggling". The rhythms of reggae and ska percolate through this mix, and the harmonies of Nick Hexum and S.A. Reception Professional ratings Review scoresĪllMusic's Peter Stepek was positive towards the album, saying "These riff-heavy and radio-ready songs are underscored by a tight drum sound (often with a piccolo snare), the scratching of turntables, and the crunch of heavy guitars: a formidable backdrop for this surprisingly melodic effort.
