High energy rock with spoonfuls of funk, jazz, hip-hop and reggae filled the USANA Amphitheatre Friday night. The 311 and Roots show was everything the fans wanted and more.

Not only was there a lot of grooving tunes, but there was a lot of grooving by the people in the audience.

The band — vocalist Nick Hexum, DJ/vocalist S.A. Martinez, drummer Chad Sexton, guitarist Tim Mahoney and bassist P-Nut — rocked the house with the opening number "Freak Out."

Backed by a board full of chase lights, which spelled out words or created black-and-white designs, the band cranked out some heavy bass lines and raging guitars. All that was spearheaded by Hexum's cool, mellow vocals and Martinez's punctuated raps.

Adding to the energy were four panels of neon-light-like bars that changed from blue to red during each of the songs.

The sound was mixed well. Bass, drums, guitar, vocals and scratching turntables were heard clearly.

Older favorites such as "Come Original" and "All Mixed Up" from the albums "Soundsystem" and "311," respectively, had die-hard fans showing their true colors. And the new song, "First Straw," lifted from the band's new "Greatest Hits" album rewarded the audience with the signature 311 hustle.

"Visit," from "Music," and the heavy reggae slide of "1 2 3" from "Grassroots" were other crowd pleasers in the set. "Beyond the Gray Sky," "Stealing Happy Hour" were received with hearty shouts and ear-piercing screams.

The band's set was loose enough for spontaneity and tight enough to find the jazz and reggae fills.

"Freeze Time," "Beautiful Disaster," "Sever" and a remake of the Cure's "Love Song," which is featured on the soundtrack to the Adam Sandler movie "50 First Dates," had the audience bouncing in the aisles.

Throughout the show, Hexum and Martinez roused the crowd while Mahoney picked out some impressive fills and fret-board running leads.

P-Nut, the nimble one, seemed to float in light waves as he kept bass rhythm with Sexton's dance easy, yet syncopated rhythms. At one point Sexton led the rest of the guys in a hard-hitting percussion segment, which was reminiscent of a Japanese Taiko drum celebration. While Sexton kept time on his set, roadies brought out four additional floor toms and cymbals and set them in front of the others. And being good sports, they pounded out, in time, with Sexton's footstamping routine.

Hip-hop, jazz, rock and country were the flavor of The Roots, who opened the show with vigor, attitude and musicianship. The group even teased the audience with bits and pieces of "My Favorite Things" in a guitar solo and a soulful rendition of the late Waylon Jennings' "Theme from 'Dukes of Hazzard.' "

For 10 years, 311 has entertained fans across the globe. And there's no sign of the band stopping anytime soon.
