311

In August 1996, 311 performed live at Hospitality Point in San Diego, capturing a pivotal moment in the band's journey. Just before this recording, 311 had released their album 'Transistor,' which dropped earlier that summer and showcased their unique blend of rock, reggae, and funk. This live performance was part of MTV's 'Choose or Lose Festival,' aimed at energizing young voters, reflecting the band's commitment to social causes. Interestingly, 'Transistor' marked a significant evolution for the band, as it was their first album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Throughout the San Diego gig, fans got a glimpse of hits like 'Homebrew' and 'Feels So Good,' which remain staples in 311's repertoire. This live recording not only epitomizes 311's energetic sound but also encapsulates the excitement of a band on the rise, willing to use their platform for positive change.
