Nick's vocals sound so dope on this version!

The last 40 seconds of this song has to be one of my all time favorite breakdowns/segments!

They sound as good as they did 20 years ago.

Still listening in 2024 🤘

God, it's been over 20 years since this dropped. It's still dope...and I'm old...fml.

Still one of the chillest bands ever. Oh and 311 was an inside job

311 is still in their prime that's what makes me so happy

311 sounds so good live

Even if you’re not into their sound this is very well executed live performance.

Absolutely love this song!!! The energy is ridiculous. They sound so tight here.

So hard for a band to sound this good so late in there career good for them

My wife and went to see 311 in concert on our first date 27 years ago.

This sounds musically TIGHT. These guys don't mess around. Still an awesome, high-energy song. Can't wait to see them live this summer!!

20 years and these guys still kick ass. Glad to have gotten to see them twice in concert.

Shabadabadabada Down Doooown

This song will never get old for me. I still rock out to it, and they play it at every show. And how can you not jump when Nick does his AirHexums??

Was born in 1989 and my brother bought the blue album and I remember listening to this in his car when I was 6, he had a nice ass soundsystem, and I thought this was the dopest shit ever. Been obsessed with 311 ever since. This and misdirected hostility were my favorite songs as a 6 year old. My mom caught me singing along, "You're saying that you're tortured, give me a fuckin break, and maybe take out the source of your despairing. What do I mean? kick the fuckin heroin." She didn't approve, haha. Not sure what normal 6 year old listens to. But it was 311, rage against the machine, and tool when I was a kid. Good times.

It could be 70 years from now, and I still be headbanging in my wheelchair

311 was one of the bands that got me through the good and bad times while I was deployed with the Marine Corps. Bad ass then and has ass now. Keep kickin it fellas!

Never a big 311 fan, but this was sweet. It sounds exactly like they did 20 years ago, and many bands can't quite pull that off. Very impressed.

Proof that Nebraska grows more than corn.

Very underrated band ! A fusion of reggae, indie, rock , and on certain tracks , southern rock overtones ! Only " 311 " has been able to mix such genres , and make them sound solid & groovy ! Well done guy's !👍😎✌

COOLEST DAD BAND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD! FIGHT ME!

That kick at 2:18 from the bass player was godlike and badass did anyone else notice other than me😂😂😂

311 is a rare band that sounds better live then on record

Literally haven't heard this song in 20 years or more . Goddamn if they don't sound even better in 2014. That's intensely good!! Thanks for the post

I love 311. They are such an awesome band live! For the record 311 never broke up or retired....still rockin for 20+ years!

Seriously one of the coolest tunes ever.

I was a huge fan of their first album when it came out. I remember sitting in my barracks room a few years later and this video came on MTV and we were all blown away.

20 MORE YEARS OF 311! AND 20 AFTER THAT. These guys were some of many great memories that were the soundtrack of good memories.

Badass mix and forever youthful energy. Best band in the land folks

Hands down the best live version of I've heard of " Down. " Badass band. And, I'm a guitar shredder from the 80s. The 90s had some kick ass music!

1:52 his voice sounds so good

All these rock bands that have been around all these years still goes harder than any band out there today.

they still sound just like the album. sort of revisiting these guys and the work they have been putting into their music is incredible.

that Pnut leg swing 🤘🤘🤘

Been one of my fav bands since I was 10 years old. I turn 35 on 311. This is one band that has sounded perfect show after show, amazing.

Always loved this song, till this day no idea what the lyrics are, but still, just awesome.

Man this song and 311 brings me back to when I gdaduated HS in '98, living in SoCal, not a care in the world, times were pretty awesome back then I must say. 311 is still just as rockin' now as they were back in the 90s.

Better than the album version! So awesome

Elementary school time was everything with this song! I'm now in my 30's and still counting...

One of many great songs that will never get old.. it’ will always age like a fine wine

This is the song that started it all for me back in 1995/1996. Happy to see that 311 is still going strong. THE BEST BAND, in my opinion.#311

Just saw them in Reno..8th time seeing them and they sounded better than ever. One of the greatest bands of all time!!

Great track back in the day and still freakin ACE today. The sound recording, mixing quality is top shelf too

So many of my favourite bands from the 90's and 2000's still rockin strong!!! Sad that the end of an era is near.... enjoy while you still can!

I woke up this morning to this blasting on my TV. It was on DirecTV, but not this performance. I don't see how I've missed this song. This is friggin great!

It's impossible not to move to this song. especially that breakdown. Still smoking!

If you've never seen 311 live, please do yourself a favor and go! Hands down the best band I've ever seen. The energy was amazing.

That sounded great! Sounded very close to the record. Awesome

These guys are still killing it - so happy for them. They sound maybe even better than they did 20 years ago. Big high five.

Im not a 90s Kid, but my dad really loves 311 and we listen to it a lot so this feels like comfort to me < 3

Chad is the most focused drummer ever.

311 just gets better and better!

311 is one of the best, live, bands I've seen, and I've seen alot! They always bring it!🤘🤘🤘

Damn - I love their energy and the way they go about playing. All of ‘em were doing their thing and doing it well 👌

Check The Technique Wooooo tight tight tight!

311 rocked this Guitar Center Session!great post thanks

Song brings it back to my Juco days of baseball in 96'! Another golden hit from the golden era of music!

They will never get lame! Just as killer as they were 20 years ago. I got a chance to hang with SA the night before a show in my town. It was great to hang with someone who I so admired growing up in my teen years and beyond enjoying their music all these years. They have to be one of the tightest bands I've ever heard. They're like machines. If they ever do mess up, I'm not hearing it. They just kill every song they play.

Wow they sound amazing live👊

How does one bring themselves to place a thumbs down upon this masterpeice ? Dude what a sick setting to put on a performance. .

The kings of the three minute banger.

This performance is kickass, it’s unbelievable how amazing this particular one is... Nick’s voice is incredible, and in general their energy in their performance is just wild, even better than the studio recording in my opinion

This shit still feels like yesterday!

Most underrated melody writers of the past 20-25 years. Hexum/Sexton.

Happy 311 day! Also, this song kicks!

One of the greatest bands ever. Massive respect.

Who's still listening and jamming in 2019?

Chill light on my sight as my ego becomes A funky child with some words on my tongue Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose While I scatter my spit I dream of juice Have you ever made out in dark hallways Displayed a kiss that made your day or say Played a track from your record collection It's your mix, congratulations Changed a lot and then some some Know that we have always been down down If I ever didn't thank you you Then just let me do it now Come back in I bet you light up when we start the show Follow me now very closely 'cause I told you so You know we glow because we throw sun rays We be freaky and we wanna stay Changed a lot and then some some Know that we have always been down down If I ever didn't thank you you Then just let me do it now Lightning strikes yo we be in that violent force of light Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolomite 'Cause we're dope kid change like a chameleon And the channel whenever that wack show real world is on You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin' battles Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like Cola bottles Fall in love with your teachers on the wax we are self made Check the technique, 311 in LA Changed a lot and then some some Know that we have always been down down If I ever didn't thank you you Then just let me do it now Keep my feet on the ground Keep my head in the clouds Electrified by the sound Comes from the down And changed a lot and then some some Know that we have always been down down And if I ever didn't thank you you Then just let me do it now

In 1995 311 came alive ! 5th grade for me at the time.. Still love this song! Now in my 30s

One of the most important bands of the last 20 years.

I discovered 311 in a videogame called Big Air Freestyle on the GameCube I was hooked since.

I have lost how many I came back to this video...

My determination knows no bounds, heard this on the alt 98.7, checked back on their recently played and found this video right away

Classic 90s tune. They used to play it on the radio all the time.

FUCK YES!!!!!!! 6 MORE DAYS!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!

He has such a unique voice and it sounds amazing here. What a great band ps: I had no idea he looked like Timothy Olyphant's brother

Me and the wife went backstage with 311 and Papa Roach early 2000's got to meet both bands Concrete street Corpus Christi, Tx

How will we know it’s 311 in LA if he didn’t say it?! Favorite band of my childhood!! 🤟🏼

This tune has such a bounce to it. Really hard to not jump up and down when it plays.

The rapper still sounds like an 8 year old boy after all these years

Excitable for life. I love all the amazing comments under this video. 311 has been the one consistent in my life for the last 22 years. On my death bed I’ll be going out to “Down”. Know that I have always been.
