You don't realize how tight 311 really is as a band until you try covering this simple-sounding song. You need to be very precise with the drums, and you need to fight the urge to rush on the bass with all the stops it has. Their precision is so underrated.
@@tmoss89 lol it's not the hardest thing, but it's definitely one of those deceptively easy-sounding songs but tricky to pull off if you're not prepared
@@JeffHuntsinger complexity is not the only determining factor when it comes to the quality of a bassline or a bassist. Groove is an equally important part, a bass player who can slap or shred all day but has no idea how to groove is much worse than a bassist who can just groove in a pocket. Tl;dr, just because this bass part is basic doesn’t mean it’s not great. Serves the song immaculately. This and tool are two completely different vibes, it doesn’t do to compare them
Now I'm 42. And re-found this song and the love of my life. Now I find this piece the most underrated and gorgeous of all time. Can't stop listening and thinking about my girl. Thank you!
That's so funny. When pursuing my wife, I'd play this song a lot, among others. And the line, "Nothing good comes easily, sometimes you've got to fight." I fought, and now I'm married. And of course, still fighting for the woman I love.
will never going to have another rege Soul masterpiece like this I feel all of his emotions it's so incredible and he's dancing with the air that comes from his lungs
Happy 51st birthday Guitar player, Nicholas Lofton Hexum April 12, 1970. Madison, Wisconsin. Played in the Jazz band in a Nebraska high school. And made it big. Lesson learned. Big things come from small beginnings.
Wow! Great tune. This song moves!. The sound!!! It's like an early 1980's English Romantic era vocals mixed with 90's Ska technique, tied together with a mature sophistication. Sweet!
One of the great things about living in a big city is the live music options that are available. I was working in the Loop and these guys played a pop up live show in Daley Plaza probably around the mid 2000s. I still remember stopping by on my way to the El standing in my suit just jamming out to these dudes.
Man, I love these guys. I remember hearing them at my brother's for the first time on my first leave from the Army. And Amber came out right before we deployed to Iraq. We listened to it all the time.

***** Yeah, it's much cooler to take pride in slamming people's grammar over the internet. That was a grammar error by the way, not a spelling error. Next time you try to rip on people who are WAY more successful than you, and then try and give them an english lesson, don't make a similar mistake.
+RageLoveGaming Who cares about the grammar and spelling. I usually listen to you tube when I'm setting all of my DFS teams or I'm listening while I'm smoking weed. No one cares about spelling when you're getting buzzed.
oh yes it's definitely live. they're just that good! they've been at it for 25+ years and plus each one of these guys is a damn good musician. sounds flawless thanks to the great sound tech! 311
"Music today is terrible " lmao what do y'all listen to ?? The god damn radio ?? Music is doing well today , I'm assuming this genre of music is trash now ? If that's the case I'll still have to disagree when there's bands such as blonder , alvaays , Banes world , summer salt , wolf Alice , knox fortune and many more . All it takes is for you to search for it , and other genres of music are doing well , hip hop has amazing artist besides these new "rappers" who really can't make a good song without the use of an 808 .

Always thought that P-nut was one of those underrated bass players on the modern scene. Guy is extremely talented and can lay it down big time with incredible grooves and playing. Hell, the entire band is incredibly talented and can play very well.
Yep, Love the Mu-tron. Smooth delay as well. Looks like mit is using his Maxon delay at the end there, and I think that is a nova delay next to that. Diamond cabs, Spitfire heads, He has changed his pedalboard a bit as of late. So excited that he is bringing out the Uberschall for this tour.

Them & incubus are so good at creating musical textures.
IKR
There will never be another 311 or incubus
agreed
Where is charles lee?
What do you mean by musical textures?

No joke! Their playing together is tight as an 80 year old nun!
Spot on mate. Absolutely spot on.
Lol it’s not hard man
@@tmoss89 lol it's not the hardest thing, but it's definitely one of those deceptively easy-sounding songs but tricky to pull off if you're not prepared
@Joe Beef Hash everyone knows someone who can play something but that wasn't the point.
311 is the chillest band ever
No.....rebelution or soja
Rebelution is awesome. Don’t forget slightly stoopid and chon too
The illest too 😎
Yeah AND u are one bitch more
Bob Marley and the Wailers
Those harmony vocals. That guy in the back is so vital to their success. He raps, and can peg the perfect harmony note. Love this.
ikr!
S.A. ain’t no joke. That guy’s a legend.
Still can't get over how amazing they sound live.
it's Guitar Center, that's almost automatic
311 and Rancid are by far the two best sounding live bands I've ever heard. So crisp and clean.
I think this is their best live performance of Amber I've heard
thiefswiller I agree. Fantastic sound.
It sounds amazing
indeed
Mixed and performed very well!
I think this is their best performance of Amber I've heard
One of the most underrated band ever
that bass is sick, his playing is absurdly good
Lol. That's a basic bass line. Maybe look up Justin Chancellor from TOOL or maybe Billy Sheehan FFS
@@JeffHuntsinger bro try to play this song on Fretless bass also

I do agree that the bass is something in this live performace 🤘
This song goes to the people with golden souls. Love you my friends!
+Xochilt Huerta Cadena back at you
Wow they've been pushing the same lineup since 92. Props to the staying power
when no big egos among them band members.
They've been together since their highschool years
I swear
Brothers
wow I never knew that! that shows how much they genuinely love each other
*I love being a 90's teen. The energy in the air was electric and the talent was incredible.*
_Peace and love to everyone from Houston, TX._
BizWiz 1. This song is from 2001.
2. The 90's were a pretty bad decade notorious for being talentless.
Really? The rap was real, the rock was real. Everything today is manufactured overly produced garbage.
Um the 90's was the same with overly prouced garbage mainstreams music has been like that since the late 60's bud..
Great time to be young! Great music n great times. Definitely a great decade
311 broke out in the 90s, I think that's what they meant. Get ur stick outta your ass
1:32 This solo is beyond perfection! Dude, it gives me chills every time...
One of the most beautiful solos made for sure
311, sublime, sugarray, spin doctor, crazy town.
summer, beach, and cold beer.
thanks all
*Gotta love that incredible bass tone.*
P-Nut is such a beast bassist
fr man
Now I'm 42. And re-found this song and the love of my life.
Now I find this piece the most underrated and gorgeous of all time.

This song never gets old
will never going to have another rege Soul masterpiece like this I feel all of his emotions it's so incredible and he's dancing with the air that comes from his lungs
The crazy thing is, they really are this good live. I love you, 311 ♥
I saw these guys live recently. I was blown away how awesome they still are. Nick Hexum almost 50 and still rocks as good as 97. 311 is the shiz
such an amazing song and performance. that guitar is so hypnotic, and his voice is stellar
Nick and SA's harmonic vocal is priceless!
Let's all wish a #happybirthday to Nick Hexum of 311! Celebrate w/this performance of "Amber" from #GCSessions
Happy Birthday
#selamatulangtahun
One of those most beautiful songs ever made, what a performance. I can watch this endlessly. Thank you 311 for such a masterpiece.
same! btw I love your Kurt Cobain pfp
The bass guitar and drums here are amazing.
one of the best songs ever created.
Such a beautiful sounding band🤘💖
Yet hard to find this band because it's just 3 numbers 🤦🏼♂️
God damn I feel like I just opened a time machine to the 90’s.
I was so excited to see this!! 311 brings me back to my teenage years!!
Dana Junkin I know! Brings me back to the Xanga & early MySpace days...

I love this song brings me back when my son was younger and we would just listen to this song. Miss those days.

WOW what an incredible performance, jaw dropping. The sound guy is on point too. Probably unreal acoustics in the room.
This is just amazing. After all these years they still have it. Truly a beatiful song.
It's a real chill song. After one would sit and listen to this band's sound, Its hard to believe these guys are from Omaha, Nebraska.
We have a pretty diverse local music scene actually. One of the best in the country. People still find that hard to believe lol.
Omaha stylee ya didn't think there was one
Man, I love these guys. I remember hearing them at my brother's for the first time on my first leave from the Army. And Amber came out right before we deployed to Iraq. We listened to it all the time.
I love that bass!!!
One of the greatest songs ever
I was there with this band since the beginning.. Cheers to the Gen X peeps.. Boom
I peed in my pants when I realized this is live. Hats off for the quality
I absolutely love the subtle changes they slipped in this live version. LONG time 311 fan.
That sweeet. Sound. Of. Amber. Masterpiece
excellent guitar player damn, put some headphones on. Also congrants to the engineer who mixed this wow...drumsssssss
This is one of those songs where you say "thank the Lord for this gift, and this band!"
One of the tightest bands still going strong! I would love to see them someday.
The sound is incredible!
Drums chasing the bass in perfect time… and everything else is total perfection!!! So so friggin good!!
His guitar tone is so sweet sounding I love it and is so well rounded using his effects
This performance is so smooth as ever way back from the 90s greatest hits..
Not blowing up the charts much anymore,but continue to blow up any room they are in. as you can hear. 311 🤘
Love the "nation" part. That sent this tune into another stratosphere.
i love that amazing blue guitar
Mike Konitshek Paul Reed Smith right ?
husker1747 as much as I adore 311, I just don't see them being RRHF material.
This song takes me back to the beach bar in Jamaica , mon , whith that smooth island vibe it has !🌴🌴🌴😎🌴🌴🌴
I just can't play this loud enough. Goosebumps all over.
Excelente. Soy de Venezuela. Y esta canción esta en mi Top 5 de Canciones favoritas .
Te amo chiquita

Brainstorm, take me away from the norm'
I've got to tell you something
This phenomenon, I had to put it in a song
And it goes like
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
You want to know what brings me here
You glide through my head, blind to fear
And I know I
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels alright
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you've got to fight
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
Lost a thousand ships in my heart so easy
Still it's fine from afar
And you know that
Whoa
Brainstorm
Take me away from the norm'
Whoa
I've got to tell you something
✨
So much love for this guitar solo! This thing is flawless.
bass and vocals were faultless. One of the best songs
this piece and incubus' are you in will always be my top fave. ❤️
The bass it's amazing!
the guitarist got down!!! the way he played was nice, stummed smooth and gentle. I can tell he and his guitar are one.

That bass guitar is so dam beautifull. Wish i i could have 1. 311 since kid and now you guys are still on my playlist
This song is always magic. Reminds me of my childhood. The "musicians" today need to learn how to make music from some real g's like the guys in 311

Smoooooth .... Island vibe 🌴🌴🌴
Thanks for sharing 😎
Hex and company still hold up today. Long live 311! 🤘🤘
Vibe monstra que voz desse maluco ali atrás, e esse efeito de guita, fantástico
Essa banda é muito foda! Vibe foda! O segundo vocal é foda demais!
Good old days. Where music is arts and soul, not just noises.
Shit sounds so good it gives me the chills and goosebumps..
Always thought that P-nut was one of those underrated bass players on the modern scene. Guy is extremely talented and can lay it down big time with incredible grooves and playing. Hell, the entire band is incredibly talented and can play very well.
Yep, Love the Mu-tron. Smooth delay as well. Looks like mit is using his Maxon delay at the end there, and I think that is a nova delay next to that. Diamond cabs, Spitfire heads, He has changed his pedalboard a bit as of late. So excited that he is bringing out the Uberschall for this tour.
Love the few twists added, guys always sound so good live.
