Met a couple guys from Tesla erie,civic center Erie pa. 1986. They were real cool dudes, hang'n outback before their show. Awesome band! Glad to see their still rockin!
This band taught me about Nikola Tesla when schools weren’t teaching it. After reading the cassette sleeve about the great Radio Controversy. I did more research on Tesla. To this day NikolaTesla is my favorite scientist/inventor. Thanks to the great rock band Tesla.
Jeff is not on drugs he is just that way and always has been a personality. I saw them in Grand Rapids Mi in the late 1990’s and he sat and drank a case of PBR’s and did a great show. He is still rocking and being crazy. No drugs just Jeff
I was singing at a karaoke bar in Sacramento in the late 1990s. After my song, some guy at the bar who was too old to have hair as long as he had started raving about my singing. After chatting for awhile, he introduced himself: Jeff Keith of Tesla. To this day, I tell everyone that I met Jeff because he is a big fan of mine. (lol)😁
I been a fan since i was 16 & i am now 58. Do the Math Ppl!! Lov Jeff Keith!! Cool Person Who Can Preach 2 All of Us from a Musical Platform!! Amen!!! ♥️🌿💐🍓💟💦🌟
First band I ever saw live, supporting Def Leppard on the Hysteria tour in '87. I was already a fan before they came on stage but that night cemented it forever.
@@mmoonnchildd I know and have known enough coke lovers that he is definitely high in this clip. Twitching, fidgeting, sniffling like an episode of Seinfeld. Sad to see at this age.
@@friedricengravy6646 There were some awkward moments evident in the expressions of the other band members. Jeff keeps interrupting and just acting strange, although, the other members I am sure are aware of why. They are likely all good friends making money and accept him for what he is.
I saw TESLA perform SIGNS while opening up for DEF LEPPARD in TACOMA wa..at the TACOMA DOME. I won the tickets on KZOK..I took her for her birthday...it was October 2017 ..She had never heard the song, but she liked it. She said it reminded her of how the world seems to be getting smaller.
Love this band since 86 have all their CDs the most underrated rock band ever .watching this through I have to question the way Jeff is acting is not good.
When i grew up in the sixties all the bands were high all day long. If youre offended by rockstars that are high, ya better move to a different planet cause rock will always rule!!!! Grow some and join the Circus.or book the next flight to honduras.
See the good in everyone,seem like nice people.Saw these guys in 87 opened for Def leppard.Entertainers and such after awhile don't do drugs to get high they need them to cope.
@@Hambone21 Here's something I didn't think of. I haven't seen him in a long time. I wonder if maybe hes starting to get parkinson's disease. Michael J. Fox acts a little strange too now so...
@@Hambone21 Right? People that don't know what getting old is like are young or had no real serious health issues so far to accept. At 54 I'm starting to deal with arthritis.🙁👎 It is so not rock and roll.🤟
Jeff is always like that, spun or sober. He's a good friend that has had struggles in life, and he wasn't on dope this filming. Just coffee and life. Very good man. Hi Frankie 😎 SACTOWN!! To Oregon and backdown. B-Dub 4 prez 2020...
Lol. When working at Best Buy in 1995 Tesla was in town doing a show that night and scheduled a table day signing autographs. They set up all the way back in appliances and the line of fans went all the way around the store and out the door. I went to the restroom and was washing my hands when Jeff Keith rolls in and says “Man I gotta take a leak!” 😂
And don’t forget 5 Man Electrical is Canadian, not that anybody seems to care. At any rate great song and cool cover Tesla, would have been better if you had a Great White North accent...
You guys still sound great. Make Sacramento great..🙂🙂🙂 Brian we talked a long while ago. I want you to see where my daughter has come to check her out on her you tube. She finally made the radio with 2 originals .still work in progress Carly Rhoades blind you tube Have a great day guys
Holy shit. I am 49 years old and I grow up listening to Tesla. Amazing the singer is still alive. He is high as a kite in this video. No offense but those wigs old rockstars is wearing looks really fake and terrible.
@tater tot if you wanna live in an alternative reality that makes you feel better please go ahead. Not my problem. At least one dude in that clip is wearing a wig. If you can't see that you deny reality or is blind. It is a well known fact that many rock stars that is now 60-80 years old wears a wig. Malmsteen, Glenn Hughes and hundreds of others. And you are wrong. That guy is high. But please. Keep on living in your little bubble of lies.
Love Tesla!! .. After the interview, @ 6:05 the host takes off and leaves the set with the microphone. she's trying to hurry off and hide the rest of Jeff's coke!! I love you Jeff and "bump on" brother, but in moderation....
Jeff has always been a string bean. And if he was an addict there's no way he'd be able to remember his lines. If he was an addict, his mannerisms are typical of ex-addicts. I don't know him personally, so not judging, but possible he's just got tics, is just high energy/adhd. Who knows, but worked in medical field a long time and his mannerisms could mean many things. Bedides, I'm ftom Placerville, an hour away from Sac and grew up on their music. So I love them anyhow!
I play gigs occasionally here in St Augustine. One night I had a teenage girl came up to me between sets and ask if I could play Madonna's new song "American Pie". You should have seen the look on her face when I told her that song was written by Don McClean in 1971 - Priceless.
The crowd seems old too.😭.. love Tesla. ❤️. It's not what you got ,it's what you give.🙏. MANAGER please save this old Singing soul. . Drugs will take hm soon from earth........ It's funny to look at the bandmates embarrassed by his cokiness😭
Still performing and enjoying life if you don’t like them don’t look at them they will be just fine without you...
They were one of my favorite bands growing up! Gettin Better and Changes!!
These guys still rock… never stop!!!!!!!
I love these guys. If there was only one band to listen to, hands down its Tesla!
one of the greatest American Rock Bands of the 20th Century
I love Tesla and Jeff's voice 💕
Met a couple guys from Tesla erie,civic center Erie pa. 1986. They were real cool dudes, hang'n outback before their show. Awesome band! Glad to see their still rockin!
He was definitely still awake for the house of blues show the next night hahahah
Drugs, rock n roll. Get over it. Tesla is awesome
This band taught me about Nikola Tesla when schools weren’t teaching it. After reading the cassette sleeve about the great Radio Controversy. I did more research on Tesla. To this day NikolaTesla is my favorite scientist/inventor. Thanks to the great rock band Tesla.
Yes ... I think a lot of us were introduced that same way. Who said rock n Roll wasn't educational!!! 🔥🤘🔥👊
one of my fave bands from the 1980s

No drugs just Jeff
I dunno man
He seems like a great guy but he is coked up on this occasion

One of my favorite bands of all times. Hate I missed the taping of this in my home town!!!
First band I ever saw live, supporting Def Leppard on the Hysteria tour in '87. I was already a fan before they came on stage but that night cemented it forever.
I can only imagine.....jealous is an understatement
To watch DEF LEPPARD?
I'd fall asleep for listening to their junk music!!!
Same. October ‘87
Jeff looks like he's tweaked out
He is one screwed up dude.
He sounds acts like he is tweaked.and looks like an old cat lady but man still sound awesome
He’s a nutty guy actually
Gee, ya think????
The due is thin as a rail, and obviously took a few snorts before getting on camera. (Sniff)
Loved this back then. Still loving it in April 2020.
And late August 2021! 🔥
And Feb 2023 🤘
🎸ednout during late 80s early 90s. Loved them!
I seen them at Tampa Sundome back in the early 90' s great music, and they were right the 70' s were great my favorite decade .
Jeff is all coked up...geeeked ..but still one of my favorite bands
Anthony M I think it’s just his personality. He’s a weird dude
@@lauraz2896 No. He's wiping his nose and he's all over the place. That's telltale cocaine. Bummer, but he sounds alright.

Totally lit like a Bic. Still love their music.
dude this band rocks. this song rules and your voice is gold bro.
@Mike B Yeah but they have a tons of other hits and have made millions. Very talented musicians
Still have it,Jeff..keep rocking from san Antonio TX bro
Yeah great concert back then l! Gotta give it to journey also when Steve Perry was with them! Still listening to the good music from the early 80's
Jeff is the greatest guy ever to come out of Texarkana 😊 I'm from Atlanta Texas just down the road 🎉❤
I wish Frank Hannon had a chance to speak…… he’s one of my favourite lead guitarists. ♥️
They all sound amazing as well 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes! The interviewer-RUDE ! 😮

A lot of energy with this band. It’s good to see 80s bands still rocking out and having a good time.
Well yeah, Jeff can't even stand still. He's always charged up...

One badass band still rocking today
Missing Tommy in this! 😢 Glad he’s doing better in life! ❤
All American Heavy Metal!🤘🏻
Loved them back then, love them still!
TheRudeOne Sorry this song was written in 1971 by a great Canadian band called 5 Man Electrical Band.
This is about as "Metal" as Paula Abdul
I love Tesla they are awesome
Mechanical Resonance is probably one the greatest rock albums ever
I remember first hearing Modern Day Cowboy on MMMMMMetal Shop. Been a fan since.
Still loving them ❤
Tesla always forever, they have always been one of my favorite bands growing up, just like DEF LEPPARD 🌹❤️🎸🔥🎤🥁💯💯🥁🎤🔥🎸❤️🌹

Exactly. They are rock stars. End of discussion
Mark Avell You seems so pissed off and triggered ?! Oh ! You are probably a bernie biden obama hillary supporter ?! I get it, now !

88 Johnson city Tennessee.. with Def Leppard ! Great show! 🤘🏽
I love Tesla. But poor Jeff looks like Shelly Duvall from "The Shining".
Jeff Hodge and, I think he’s done gone “ The Wrong Way!! “
@@Hambone21 Here's something I didn't think of.
I haven't seen him in a long time. I wonder if maybe hes starting to get parkinson's disease. Michael J. Fox acts a little strange too now so...
Jeff Hodge that would be awful!!!
@@Hambone21 Right?
People that don't know what getting old is like are young or had no real serious health issues so far to accept.
At 54 I'm starting to deal with arthritis.🙁👎
It is so not rock and roll.🤟
Jeff Hodge yes sir!!! I will be 49 in April, and I Race dirt track, and had my first practice of the year last night, and I’m feeling it!!!! 😭
Love this song, smashing boys.
excellent cover of 5 man electric band original song the guys are great
A Sunburst Gibson Dove -beautiful!
Seen them with def leppard amd reo speedwagon! Billings MT!!
Jeff is always like that, spun or sober. He's a good friend that has had struggles in life, and he wasn't on dope this filming. Just coffee and life. Very good man. Hi Frankie 😎 SACTOWN!! To Oregon and backdown. B-Dub 4 prez 2020...
Yeah right but I don't care to which is own. They rock baby!!
I don't think so
If he is a good friend then you need to return the favor and get him help. He is a walking casket.
Love love love!!
Killer song , killer version
Hermoso 😍❤️ me encanta este vocalista 😍❤️😘😘
Jeff Keith reminds me alot of Steven Tyler!!
Yeah a little. Unfortunately these days he sounds just like Carmen from south park.
Agree but Steven still has his pipes~ vocal pipes
It isn't their song, it was first recorded by Five Man Electrical Band.
duh
michael morales and the original is better!
U so smart
@dandugger4611 cocksucker says what? Why even comment? Dbag
Downtown Sacramento!! TESLA!!!
When I first saw them being interviewed I thought, oh no, but then they started playing and I said, wow they sound really good.
Same here. Exactly.
I wouldn't worry about this band
Awesome no lip syncing.
Great job!

He still sounds just as good
Love Tesla!

I never tried recreational drugs of any kind. I knew many that did.. seeing what they went thru I stayed away.. Music for me. Tesla
The homeboy seems a little tired,someone should get him a coffee
I think he’s alright😂
Patty Smith is awesome
Damn Jeff.... I love ya man, but....wow. I'm a forever Tesla fan, no matter what.
I miss you Troy 😢😊
He is jacked up!! 😂🤣
"THEIR" hit song??

Man, Jeff Keith is EFF'D UP!
High as a kite.... but these dudes ARE excellent musicians...still!
Just to clear it up, this is Five Man Electrical Band's song; Tesla covered it!
Ok boomer.
