311 performed a 1 hour, 15-minute set with all their hits, starting the show with “Beautiful Disaster,”
“Come Original,” and of course, “Amber.” Another favorite, “Don’t Stay Home,” was a crowd-pleaser
that really showcased the band. A couple of songs later, it was drummer Chad Sexton’s turn to shine.
All eyes were on him as he smashed the skins -- demonstrating that after all this time, he still has the
chops that have moved this band for 33 years. The vocal harmonies between Nick Hexum and Doug
“SA” Martinez were remarkable, with a unique combination that mashes Doug Martinez’ higher pitched
whiney rap vocals over Nick Hexum’s rock reggae baritone, in my personal opinion.
Overall, it was a really memorable night for me, filled with nostalgia and memories of my younger days.
