I'd say Impractical Jokers does not count but that's awesome. I love those guys.
Back from an impromptu work trip to LA which allowed me to catch 311 for a third time this summer in Hollywood. LA is where 311 currently lives, from Omaha, and I didn't realize until that concert how many LA references they have in their music. They even played a new song "Inside Our Home" due to being in LA. The Hollywood Palladium was a really cool venue, I had known it from Bad Religion's DVD and it was a cool experience to be there myself seeing one of my favorite bands. They actually played a slightly extended setlist, 2 extra songs, and there were 4 total songs I hadn't seem them play from the first two times seeing them. I put together this video of my clips when I got home last night quickly, but the audio is not so great, still cool to have the memories:
311 Live at Hollywood Palladium 8/19/17Now as for a new concert update, 311 finished their tour in San Diego the next day and immediately announced a fall tour with one local show for me. Why do they make me see them so much?
