311 "Amber" Guitar Center Sessions on DIRECTV 

Them & incubus are so good at creating musical textures.

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.

311 is the chillest band ever

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.

I think this is their best live performance of Amber I've heard

Wow they've been pushing the same lineup since 92. Props to the staying power

that bass is sick, his playing is absurdly good

Still can't get over how amazing they sound live.

One of the most underrated band ever

311, sublime, sugarray, spin doctor, crazy town. summer, beach, and cold beer. thanks all

1:32 This solo is beyond perfection! Dude, it gives me chills every time...

This song never gets old

*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._

This song goes to the people with golden souls. Love you my friends!

God damn I feel like I just opened a time machine to the 90’s.

*Gotta love that incredible bass tone.*

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!

This band's work is a perfect example of every sound serving the song.

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

Such a beautiful sounding band🤘💖

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

Nick and SA's harmonic vocal is priceless!

I peed in my pants when I realized this is live. Hats off for the quality

such an amazing song and performance. that guitar is so hypnotic, and his voice is stellar

one of the best songs ever created.

Let's all wish a #happybirthday to Nick Hexum​ of 311​! Celebrate w/this performance of "Amber" from #GCSessions

The crazy thing is, they really are this good live. I love you, 311 ♥

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

One of the greatest songs ever

I was so excited to see this!! 311 brings me back to my teenage years!!

The bass guitar and drums here are amazing.

excellent guitar player damn, put some headphones on. Also congrants to the engineer who mixed this wow...drumsssssss

One of those most beautiful songs ever made, what a performance. I can watch this endlessly. Thank you 311 for such a masterpiece.

That sweeet. Sound. Of. Amber. Masterpiece

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.

WOW what an incredible performance, jaw dropping. The sound guy is on point too. Probably unreal acoustics in the room.

I love that bass!!!

I was there with this band since the beginning.. Cheers to the Gen X peeps.. Boom

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!

Not blowing up the charts much anymore,but continue to blow up any room they are in. as you can hear. 311 🤘

One of the tightest bands still going strong! I would love to see them someday.

This is just amazing. After all these years they still have it. Truly a beatiful song.

They still sound so good after all these years...if not better!

Excelente. Soy de Venezuela. Y esta canción esta en mi Top 5 de Canciones favoritas .

the bass tone to die for

I​ love​ you​ 311​ im​ from​ Thailand​

I hadn’t realized how much I loved 311 till it came time to have my kid listen to music and it’s like “oh shit, all of this is super ight for young ears”

I absolutely love the subtle changes they slipped in this live version. LONG time 311 fan.

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

This performance is so smooth as ever way back from the 90s greatest hits..

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 amazing blue guitar

They sound amazing live. Kinda wished I had seen them in person in my city when they came through. Love this version.

Listen to all of different textures and ambiance. This is pure atmosphere. I love it

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

These guys are timeless.

Love the "nation" part. That sent this tune into another stratosphere.

I just love how they are feeling this song and all just jamming after playing it some ungodly number of times... such a slick song, literally dark and brooding. Top 5 for sure

Como an pasados los años 😱.. Esta canción es sin duda unas de mis favoritas!! La amo ❤

I always find it interesting that the cameras almost always focus on the singer and lead guitarist. Even though it's the drums and bass that carry and lead thr songs. I do love this version of thr song!

The reason why you don't see a lot of 311 cover songs on RU-vid, especially for the song "Amber", is because only 311 can play this song to perfection.
