311: Live from Lincoln (1993)

[@JWH808]

311 is one of a kind… 1 of 1. Just saw them in concert for the first time, 2024.

[@alisapage]

Reminiscing...just watched their Tiny Desk on 3/11 and I felt old AF! 😆This video made me feel 30 years younger. Nice job.

[@mercster]

This shows you, you know why they're tight? 25 years, buddy. They put in the work. Every single member of this band is a meticulous professional.

[@mercster]

There's so much raw talent here, and they'd been at it a few years already. You can watch them play now in 2018 and it's a lot different. They just seamlessly coordinate with each other now. And they've all improved. But if you ask me, always give me the old shit man. (EDIT: Forgot it was 2018)

[@joelsmith7868]

This may be thee best live performance of "Visit" ever. One of my all time favs

[@darienplaysmusic]

Ahhh man Chad’s snare givin me chills

[@xanderbenton5774]

You prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm you can stream all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last few months =)

[@maysonnehemiah8397]

@Xander Benton yea, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :D

[@jareddrums_]

Dude that snare is sharp!

[@jmathis2aug]

Tight as a 10 yo bhole

my general reaction to Chad period.

[@rodjerdankist1125]

my god the sound quality is amazing on this VHS capture

[@DawgsGoneWild]

I am thinking DAT tape.

[@aloerob]

holy crap... just finding this now... amazing. Hexum 2024

[@shire-lee]

Love how you can tell where Tim’s influence came from the dead on those harmonic solos.

[@DDRaHolic]

no kidding? I never listened to them much but maybe I should try!

[@shire-lee]

@@DDRaHolicTheir songs are like whole albums lol, super long and very jam bandy but good music and great talent

[@wingy200]

Before they were masters of their craft. Rough around the edges but you could tell they were on their way to greatness. I fucking love this band. I saw them live in Iowa City in 2003, and when the crowd got all quiet in between songs, I yelled "P-Nut! Play us some funk!" and Nick gets on the mic and says "You got it!" going right into Don't Dwell. One of my favorite memories ever. I was on cloud nine...

[@B4NDllKOOT_]

✌🏼& ❤ that sounded like a beautiful experience 😢

[@byMene]

I'm so grateful to be a fan of 311... Being able to watch these old performances is making me love them even more, thanks for the upload

[@JasonSmith-we5ls]

I’m grateful too, I would love to thank all 5 of them. My life is better because of 311’s music. I’m also grateful to the universe for showing me this badass video.

[@mikeymullaney]

Me three! My life is far from perfect, but I attribute lots of the good things I have in life to the positivity this band has given me. I didn’t have much of a positive outlook until my brother showed me the self titled album 10 years ago. Fell in love

[@TheDustoff9]

I love 311 fans as much as the band sometimes. Know our shit about musical instruments we’re hearing

[@thataintnomoonsucka]

Yep. I always feel like I'm with my people at live shows. My happy place.

[@jacobconde9934]

100 % guys ever 311 show feels like we are seriously one big family and the vibe is sick every time. 311 day 2020 was ridiculous I was very blessed to be there.

[@3elev3n]

Damn, the sound on this is great. Nothing like a 311 show live

[@federicomenjurje]

I have to go to a 311 show before they retire. I hope they come to Europe after the pandemic

[@danielmatthews4671]

Easily the best old concert I have seen on youtube.... Thank you!

[@mercster]

Hahaaa man, the baggy clothes and the caps, I still dress like this, and I'm 40. Dude such a great upload, thank you so much.

[@morghan_with_an_h]

I still wear big flannels & band shirts. I love & miss the 90s.

[@mercster]

Dude, you are so fucking awesome. I can't believe I'm watching this. Thank you.

[@jessepearson2848]

I was one month into my senior year of high school when they played this show. I just saw them last October too. Holy shit.

[@tachycardia2224]

Which show did you see last October bro?

@@tachycardia2224 Cincinnati, Ohio at Bogarts. October 2017.

Who needs a fog machine when you have an SA? 38:05

[@Tristanrgreene11]

The “ohhhhh” nick let’s out at 38:55 made me laugh soooo hard so great . The good ol early years…. Slinky girl must have done it for nicks hex ha. 311 is underrated for their feel alone, I have a good idea that Chad really installed the groove in these guys all very young, yet ya still have to some groove to really get there and they have incredible feel, unlike so many bands. Chads feel is unprecedented, and pnut is solid as a rock baby. Then the sealer of the group Tim also has feel and I love how hard he feels it. They are sick tight here, chads got great sneaky chops as we all know but he’s really great even here at 23 yrs old. Understanding subdivisions was crucial for Chad and his teaching the band how to feel all of those subdivisions 32nds on up and down, very underrated for throwing a simple tasty 5 or 9 stroke roll in there is perfection slickness, along with a quick foot, and quick on his head foot as well. Cheeky for the bottle ….

[@linuskangas9791]

"Quick on his, quick on his head feet" lolol great shout. I think you're right, it really starts with the drum groove, and he's got a style that I haven't heard from anyone else. He has influenced my own playing in more ways than I ever realized, has contributed quite a few tasty guitar riffs for them as well imo

[@mnmade9062]

Just saw them again 9/12/21 in Waite Park, MN for what had to have been the 20th time, at least. Been listening since 93 & first show was 94 and they were still as good as ever. I love checking out this old footage.

[@jeremymiller4231]

The clean tone on those guitars sound so nice.

[@Anonymous_Andy_]

It’s crazy to think its been 30 years ago this concert took place, but it honestly feels like yesterday

[@Lori.311]

Well now 30 years and still going! Thanks J2Tone once again for providing our entertainment.

[@NoelHaven]

Immediate blue balls from “Welcome” never dropping in 😂 But this is some golden early days footage!! 🙌🏻👽

[@thataintnomoonsucka]

Me too! I was hoping for Hydroponic as well. Still fantastic and right around the time I got into them.

[@timbruse]

Video begins at 00:00

[@timhowland7103]

hot damn, hearing all this pre-Grassroots stuff is amazing!

[@three11maniac8]

It's amazing how good sound equipment and a knowledgeable sound crew changes the perception of a band. This is pretty raw, but it's encouraging and very cool to see this mega band at this stage of their career.

[@klubwreckersdjcrispy]

Smoked a lil and decided to listen to a lil 311 best combo ever 🤘🏼

[@jordanmerritt1881]

Hell yeah, thanks for sharing!

[@braescanlon1829]

Omg thank you so much for uploading this!!! This is golden footage. The band hadn't even been around long and only had released one album. I wonder how great it felt for them to play a benefit show in front of such a big crowd. At this point they were playing really tiny clubs!!

[@mercster]

Golden.

[@a_drenaline6362]

In Omaha they released several independent releases so they were well into their groove at this point. Half of this set is from their local releases: Downstairs, Dammit!, Unity & Hydroponic. It may have been their biggest show at this point though

[@Goody311]

Man… these guys still pound out these jams and put everything into them to this day. Respect !!

[@earlyautumnstation]

Nick wasn't bald for very long. This is incredibly rare and valuable footage to MANY of us. They're just about ready to 311 the hell out of the next 20+ years here. Thank you so much!

[@kind2311]

Early Autumn Station didn't he shave it because his long hair was singed in the fire that detroyed their touring RV?

[@FreakinRican6969]

[@bryanfuchs1512]

Amazing set!! It’s hard to remember a time before Grassroots, I was so young. Much love!

Back in these bad old days, Tim had to look at the fret board once in awhile.

This is my favorite comment on here. So true!

Man everyone's so great, thank you for the video, thank you 311.

[@limasenar7522]

Also, Tim’s PRS is really slick. Getting one shortly!

Loved them since I stumbled across their CD in my older brothers room when I was 11, been listening everyday since then... I'm 32 now. HIVE TRIBE FA LIFE!

[@russ109]

Slinky Girl. What a great song.

[@miketexas4549]

'93 was the first time I ever saw them live, I was a junior in high school. Not many people in the crowd at all compared to their hayday but you could really sense their greatness and potential, that they were truly in a league of their own.

[@buckfuttler2877]

26 years later.....STRONG ALL ALONG!

[@bonteet311]

they were strong all along!!!!! sooooo blessed to love them like i do!!!!! you guys are amazing!!!!!!

It's funny to see a 311 live performance so raw because we all know that they stepped up their light game 1000%. 311 has one of the best live light shows I've ever seen!

Thank you so much for all of this amazing footage. Old or new (I’m old 🙃 does the Hive hotline ring a bell)? But seriously ty. Much love appreciated. I asked on the IG if there was any more Sprite Liquid Mix Tour footage, to be exact I was in Camden, NJ. Nbd just curious for nostalgia. My first 311 concert was in 97 in Camden (I was FIFTEEN) they gave us most of the Transistor album a week b4 it was released. I caught SA’s towel. (Fought 4 it). The best natural high ever. Danced my ass off in the pit I prob looked 18 but ok rambling THANK YOU, ARCHIVE! 🙌

[@kind2311]

Sick upload, brother. I originally put this up back in 2006 after one of the original production crew dudes burned me several DVDs of this from his raw source. It was the most complete version of the show at that time, and it was the first time me and many others had ever seen this interview. PNut even commented on it when someone linked it on the 311 bulletin board around the time I uploaded it. Fucking great to see it back up here again after my youtube account was terminated by Google in 2011. I still have about 3 of those DVDs left of the original 6. I do recall giving a couple away to 311 fans I knew online, were you one of them?
