311 - Sunset in July (footage from upcoming HDNet special)

Video footage courtesy of HDNet. Shot July 2011 in Chicago. Look for the entire live concert on HDNet this Fall.

[@alrisden]

I'm an old 54yo drummer and I think this band has a place in music history. Of course many will dispute, but's it's just my opinion.

[@1023Endurance]

you're not wrong. 46 years old. SAw them in 96 and was hooked. Also saw them 3 weeks ago with my 17 year old son.

[@KoozyL]

100% agree

[@Stellaaahhh]

Fekk yeah duuder

[@shuahcale]

Yes. Musicians understand

[@CaliCajun]

blessed to see them in new orleans at tipitina's in 93....NEVER LEFT!!!

[@nat3sw0rld]

Here’s the thing, I love 3-11. First band I’ve ever seen in concert, favorite band, and favorite song. Which means I’ve listened to this song too many times to not realize that this is the studio recording over some footage

[@PeterNgNGTV]

311 is one of the best live bands I've seen.

[@EberHeim22231]

AND I AM THE ONE WHO HAS THAT SONG CALLED SUNSET IN JULY I'M EBER AND THAT IS MY SONG SUNSET IN JULY

[@birdi099]

My favorite band. See these guys live every year

[@vonsigler5596]

Few bands get so little radio/promotional support, but yet are as successful as 311. They are truly autonomous with a viciously loyal fanbase.

[@MrHiimadrian]

311 will go down as one of the best ska best band from the early 00's

[@tyler9052]

this is me and my wifes favorite song from are honeymoon, we were just driving around in Florida and this came on the radio and we just loved it. now whenever i hear this it puts a HUGE smile on my face and just makes my day awesome!

[@nataliebelial2368]

Goals!!!

[@deadsmileyx1]

I've seen these guys several times and they sound just as good live

[@darlatidwell6255]

I could watch and listen to 311 perform for years. It was great.🤗

[@philmeyer6695]

This brings back memories from the summer of 2011 and 2012 back when I lived in Fort Worth, Texas. Best years of my life.

[@damianesquibel]

Dear 311. How is it you are such a freakin awesome band? Yours truly, A HUGE fan

[@rebeccavc932]

*Love* The 311Cruise was unbelievable, Unit Tour was off the chart and I am so ready for 311X3Cruise. This is so sweet!

[@AriusSerillious]

Greetings from Europe, even tho I am not from there! You guys rock!

[@leelachance1255]

I just saw them last week and they were flawless. Love these guys.

[@chrishilpert7303]

This sounds 👌 to me 311 !! Thanks for all your work 311+year so great 👍

[@chrishilpert7303]

✨🎉🎊🎇🧨🎆

[@catwithgrniz]

Nick Hexum is my fantasy man... if I could have any man in the world - it would definitely be him!

[@Jerusalxm]

Last day of July right now 07/31/2024. Had to listen

[@luhark9]

i was here! the atmosphere and energy with 311 live is amazing :D

[@sturgiswingsetc3950]

Gonna see these guys again this summer in July in Detroit. Can't wait to hear this AMAZING song from the fellas!!!

[@hunterellis8714]

Nostalgic for me, this would always be playing late at night after the fourth of July on the drive home, always cheers me up.

[@duncancannon1998]

I really cant believe it's been that long since this album came out it feels like it was only a year or two ago this album came out

[@ambientedge952]

One of the few bands that sound just as good live as in the studio.

[@moopoo72]

awesome concert. glad i went

[@mattycspeaks]

Say what you will about 311, they are a good bunch of dudes and they are a great band. Period. Have been a fan since 93

[@ETG311]

i love 311! i was even born on 3/11 ( march 11) i was at there dallas show up front a couple months back haha

[@LaughTrax]

Watch this show in all its glory on HDNet THIS Sunday January 29th 2012!

[@jerryreiner1650]

This just in... The crowd isn't dead, the audio on this is the studio version. Compare this to the full show and discuss...

[@fairweatherfriends.]

Jerry Reiner right? Why the hell would they put this out? It’s so ... gross

[@griff311]

I'm sure there was a good reason its studio audio for this teaser for the actual concert. They are amazing live so I'm sure there was no deception intended. I can not wait to see this on HDNET!

[@airsoftgunjk]

Im glad someone finally wants to talk calmly. i listen to mainly rap (eminem), and rapcore (Hollywood Undead). I listen to a little bit of country and a little bit or rock. The main reason i like this song is because of the first part before the first sunset in july.

[@vinuel618]

The concert is right now airing at HD Net...AWESOME SOUND!!!!!...my system is crying out loud foul!!!...311 live is in another league...the song list is incredible, so many...

[@emilyyoung2634]

I want more 311!!!!!!!!

[@NeuSchneller]

Very soundful music... Expecting to have the live version of it.

[@tiggiy]

I was at this concert! :D miss this

[@GionneyRias-mh7go]

311 one of the greatest band on earth peace from phillipines

[@tomnino921]

my favorite song !! very very very good !!

[@ruanjamjamisola1083]

Its like you are listening to the recorded version. That how good 311 is.👌🏻👌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥

[@percusseragentk3766]

Sunset in july is the best song from universal pulse i love 311

[@destinypack8784]

This song is amazing. 😀

[@RHINORyan92]

Love this song!

[@gmr2gnr]

Here in July 2022

[@griff311]

What I wish 311 would do is release 2010 311 Day Concert from Las Vegas on Blu Ray. I couldn't make it and would love to atleast see the concert on HD Video!

[@slipknot8827]

thx 4 upload

[@karinholloway8891]

how many groups sound this good live? yeah

[@rupman27isback]

You are aware the audio is not actually live lol

[@jerryreiner1650]

Yeah, the audio is the studio version. Watch the full show, though, they do sound really good live.

[@RicosTinFoilSombrero]

Yeah man...this is defiantly the LP'S audio brotha

[@RicosTinFoilSombrero]

@@jerryreiner1650 and I absolutely agree with this they are great live band!! But this is not representing that. And I actually know the guy that did the post-production on that one 5-hour New Orleans DVD. And there was a lot of pro tooling there too. It was all live but you know what I mean...

[@311Archive]

It's a teaser. When they release the show on HDNet, it'll be live audio.

[@y4nr1s4]

Sunset in July and time is flying by...

[@mikedepersis1853]

The drummer is phenomenal

[@jklinecarguy]

It's the studio version because Chad and Scotch Ralston hadn't mixed the audio yet. The concert airing on HDnet is entirely live.

[@aislinblue]

This is live... this was during the Chicago Unity Tour stop...

[@slaterd30]

i have seen them live, and reguardless of the dubbing. they would sound the same as the album. their that good!

[@jncr3632]

beautiful

[@hendon1026]

damn i love that i was at that show!

[@UncleJuulian]

its not live, its just the video is synced with the song perfectly. you could tell since the crowd looked like they were cheering but you couldnt hear them.

[@A169JB]

shits crazy! i didn't even notice for the entire video

[@ena479]

it's cool!!!!!!!! love them

[@samartinez311]

@aislinblue yes, the video is live, but the audio isn't. it is just laid on top of the video. the audio from the concert is not actually being heard. it's the studio version.

[@stefaniesantillano9133]

Nick gets so much hotter the older he gets.

[@angiecornette9277]

Stefanie Philips I agree my friends brother nick looks like him too

[@TheNastyTable]

They still look so young! HOW!?

[@opadkins]

please don't ever stop writing music! your fans will always be here. 20 years and counting. funny..... every album is different, but you could add this song to "Omaha Sessions" and it would fit in just fine!!

[@skateconner]

yay post covid seeing you in maine this year!!!

[@hfamily4976]

Happy 311 Day!

[@randyrennie2121]

Skip to 3:10 and watch buddy hittin a sick riff with his eyes closed

[@derek1230066]

Sounds too good to be live

[@shellymbell]

They are the fucking best... so talented so fucking gifted!!! We were blessed the day they all met and came today!!

[@brunaturtle]

loved loved loved

[@5urg3x]

All that shows is that they use a click track in their monitors while playing live so that it's the same tempo and everyone's on beat -- even if it wasn't, you could still clean it up during video editing. You can stretch the footage out or make it faster and people wouldn't notice. It's easy to sync up audio to mismatched video :) But I know for a fact they use a click track.

[@boozide]

I wish I had HDNet. I used to. they'd play the Memphis 311 Day show on the reg.

[@NickFioresi]

@BlackredbluE011 the actual special is airing in january sometime (according to hdnet's twitter)

[@tatanit0000]

311 may not be the band of the century, but is a very cool band indeed. I really don´t care aboout the so´self called critics that people may turn when in social medias, They are good. full stop.

[@Dubler1]

Just perfect

[@lionempire3107]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!! great 2 hear n c a different mix with the rap bro, i love soja. always cool 2 c different mix :)

[@owefay1]

It sounds so clean because they played the studio recording over the live footage! so so disappointed. Its up there with Ashley Simpson and Milli Vanilli.

[@Gilbeezyskit]

Is this just the footage with the studio track? It doesn't sound live... also there's no crowd sounds which takes away from the experience... I'm not complaining, just asking an honest question. Thanks for uploading! I'm really looking forward to the full show! (and hopefully a dvd release!)

[@TheJettagli09]

Their backup singer would kill it as the lead for Linkin Park. No one can replace Chester but he would be amazing.

[@fictionaliza]

can't believe they dubbed the album version over the concert. 311 would never.

[@jedimaster128]

@PbNAphasia My hubby and I were at the show also. Every 311 concert is better than the last...

[@andrew52marks]

hey! i was at that concert!

[@dydylly]

they sound amazing... too amazing...?

[@reszzz]

holy shit this is amazing. they should have called Uplifter and Universal Pulse "Shit That We Would Love to Play Live"

[@carter9921]

311 been around for a long ass time man

[@t3gt2000]

Awesome!!!

[@lookshin2554]

good look!!!

[@uncool13]

they are saving the live version for the HDNet showing. Wait for that.

[@Simenftwable]

WHY AINT THIS ON SPOTIFY?!?!

[@PamParamPamPam55]

Greetings from cold Syberia!

[@WereTheStewed]

All I can say is amazing. Sounds kind of like the Mainstreet Dubsacks.

[@Janette1963]

Love

[@tuckfenpin]

those glowing frets are sick

[@RunningManOnTheGo]

@slaterd30...You are right, they would rock this live anyway. Call me crazy, but this band is amazing. I must have a special connection with them, but they are my favorite by far. Nick Hexum and I are the same age and he does look very good for 40. We are both runners and that makes all the difference! I beleive that because of their longevity, they WILL go down in history as one of the greatest! I agree with alrisden!

[@thomaschavers]

@MrAlison1584 I wouldn't doubt it if SA is a workout fanatic. That dude has insane energy at the live shows.

[@0lAllan]

2011 was a great year for throwout backs!

[@5urg3x]

If you've ever seen them live, you can see SA start the click track before every song at his little DJ station :)

[@darthinvaderson]

wow! it must be hot in July. They are sweating everywhere. Btw, they still make good music.

[@benjaminkari8127]

pros, always pouring out emotions 110%

[@starshine311]

Daddy knows When HISSS BabyGurl is WATCHIN!!!✨️🧸✨️

[@Chiro_ASMR]

I was there!

[@MilesBeyondThePast]

I wish this was actually live...

[@ParadiXe311]

Let's be rebels and listen to this song in February.

[@fallenmetal08]

@airsoftgunjk its a music video so they put the studio version over the concert footage so it wont be perfect

[@JavierJETH]

311 in Méxicoooooooooooo !!! Nov 4th

[@GBxHenny]

this song kicks so much ass i couldn't sit down for weeks
