311

In late 1995, 311 was on the rise, having just released their self-titled third album a few months earlier in July. This album marked a significant point in their career, featuring hits that showcased their unique blend of rock, reggae, and funk. The performance of 'Down' during the Choose or Lose event in San Diego on November 30, 1995, not only highlighted their energetic stage presence but also coincided with a time when they were gaining substantial traction with their music. It's particularly interesting to note that 'Down' became one of their signature songs, later achieving notable chart success. This performance helped solidify 311's identity as a lively, engaging band and connected them with the social issues of the moment, as 'Choose or Lose' aimed to inspire young people to vote and get involved in civic life.
