311's Unity Tour 2012 recently pulled into Raleigh's Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion for a night of rock, funk and reggae fusion - and I scored the press credentials to cover the show. I should mention,
photographing pro bands/musicians can be an adrenaline rush, and nailing the shot is a sure high.
As for the show, The Aggrolites and Slightly Stoopid also filled the bill, and 311 delivered a signature high-energy show, that whipped the huge crowd into a frenzy....since I hadn't seen the band in several years (ie, While bartending at House of Blues) I forgot how kick-ass they were live! As for the set list, songs included Sunset in July, Homebrew, Down and Creatures.
The Unity Tour continues ripping through the east coast, heading north - catch it if you can.
