This was the first band I ever saw live! Tesla opened for Poison at the Von Braun Civic center in Huntsville Alabama when I was just barely 17 years old. I have always loved this band! I am now 50 and still regard Tesla as one of the best bands ever!
Frank Hannon is one of the most underrated guitarist of all time. If you're getting your kid into guitar. PLEASE show them some Tesla to hear some good CLASSIC ROCK N ROLL!
I’ve been a Tesla fan since the 80s. I’ve have the pleasure of meeting them several times and they are so down to earth! They make sure that everyone remembers their shows! What is amazing is that there is no pre-recorded tracks when they play live! Pure Tesla coming at you live! Frank Hannon is one of the best guitarist that I have ever heard and he is my favorite of all times! He is such a nice guy and very humble and makes you feel like you are a close personal friend and not just doing his job! A true entertainer! You guys are rocking as hard these days as you did back in the day and look like you still enjoy what you do! 39:02
Always been a huge Telsa fan. Frank Hannon has been a hero of mine for 30 years... Damn... Dave Rude looks like he's having so much fun!!! He's killing it. Glad to see them on the road, and Jeff hasn't lost his vocals. Excellent recording. Wish I was there!
Mechanical Resonance is one of the best albums...definitely one of the best debut albums by any band I was fan of....When I actually played the guitar it was one of the albums I learned almost every song on....I dont thinks theres a bad song on this one.
I live in Huntsville and was supposed to go to this concert. Unfortunately I was in the hospital with COVID Pnumonia and couldn't make it. Couple days ago I bought a new 85" tv and this concert looked great! Whoever filmed this, you did a great job! Tesla stills puts on a great show! Totally underrated band!
Every band is underrated. So is every guitarist. Every drummer. Every singer. Every keyboardist. Don't believe me? Start reading UA-cam comments. Some people have nothing better to add than to tell us how underrated a band or artist or player was. EVH. Peart. Hendrix. Someone will tell you how underrated they were. These guys were huge in their heyday. Underrated was the last thing they were.
Busta nut goes gold Geffen says heat you guys take a few YEARS off grunge's COMMING AND MY FAVORITE GUY IS EDDIE VEDDER IN SOME OTHER GUY ALICE IN VEINS NO DEFINITELY THAT'S BULLCRAP STUFF AIN'T THAT RIGHT BRIAN WHEAT DAM GOOD BASSMAN Y'ALL

@@satinwhip that's not true I'VE heard people say or talk crap about Eddie's just a tapper no soul etc and Hendricks just feedback it's just he was loud not that good people always talk shit Thay got to feed there own ego when Thay try to play something 🔥 hot 🥵 ya know ?
Fuck they still sound great man ! I taped them opening for at the Providence, RI. Civic Center on 1/16/87. It circulates on the Internet from my master tape, check it out you won’t be disappointed !
Jeff has such a unique voice, I remember seeing them on their first tour and thinking how long he can sing like that ,well here he is 34 yrs later , still sounding great,
One of the two most underrated bands to come out of California. Tesla from Sacramento and Y&T from the East Bay. Great tunes, times, and memories!!! Dave Rude kicks ass but I do miss Tommy Skeoch. He always brought the hard edge in the songwriting/ music composition. Thank you for uploading this concert!!🤙🏼
I’ve seen Tesla many times, especially during the 80’s. My absolute favorite show was in February of 1988 when they opened for Def Leppard on their Hysteria tour. The stage was in the center of the arena instead of being at one end like most concerts. Everyone had a great seat.🤘🔥👊
Tesla was and is so underrated…Jeff Keith has such a unique voice and the guitar melodies and solos are right up there with the best. Obviously still rockin’ hard to this day…great show!
JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY... WHERE WERE YOU STATIONED...I LIVED ON FT CLAYTON FOR 9 YRS. YES 191ST INF. BGD. BLD. 519 WAS MY HQ. AND BLD 95 MY REC ROOM. EGADS. NOTHING LIKE TAKING A CHIVA BUS THEN A TAXI THEN A FEW MILE WALK TO AMADOR OFFICER CLUB OR THE SETUP BY THE CANAL. TRUTHFULLY IN MANY WAYS PANAMA SUCKED. BUT THE BEACHES AND THE DISTRACTIONS WERE GREAT ...! SCN AFRTS... . IN ANOTHER REALITY TESLA IS BIGGER THAN G.N R...WORD ONE ABOUT IT.
Jeff kept that growl in his voice. He's 63 years old and still sounds fucking amazing unlike other singers: Vince Neil, Axl Rose are two that come to mind immediately.
Correct !!! Axl and Vince do not rock like they use to or sound as good anymore !! They are legend but lost their voice years ago ! Keep it Rockn Tesla !! 👍🏻
Funny Story. My Friend Mike was like #1 Tesla Fan. We were on his porch playing guitar. Looked down the street. He said look it’s Brian Wheat and Tommy Skeoch. I said yeah right, in Kenosha. Lol Come to find out, I convinced him to not go down there. Brian Wheats cousin lived here and they were helping him replace a broken porch window, before heading to Alpine Valley to play that night.
Wow!.....Very impressed by this show, may even be better then when they were younger. Better than any of these newer bands for sure!...........Keep kicking ass Tesla!.....WoW!
All I know is Tesla gave every single drop of their blood, sweat, and tears, and heart's, and souls for their fans! First met them at Skip's music on Arden Way in Sacto in 1981, or 82, . Man, what a band, what a beautiful group of people! Thank you so much Tesla! Bitchin performance~ \💜👑💜/,
oh yes Skip's music I bought my first marshall and epiphone les paul there I've got a Gibson les paul now but I've heard good things about the newer epiphones now that Gibson has a new CEO that actually is a guitar player.
thanks for putting on ,big fan of band ,saw them live opening for Def Leppard IN 87, opening fo scorpions in 2012 , opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd in 2021. kick ass Rock n Roll bang
I’m 44 , got Tesla first album on cassette cause I had read that Nikki Sixx was a big fan of the band . I still have to say , We’re No Good Together is one of the best vocals of the genre . Oddly enough I’m watching a new Paramount show ,,, Mayor of Kingstown and during a strip club scene, they are playing it . Thanx for being a great band and the memories … it’s getting better every single day .
Omg! That is definately one of my top 10 of Tesla's! Im glad you feel that way. Sounds funny talking about my old 8 tracks, then cassettes. I think I owned & bought only one record and that was Tom Petty & The Hearbreakers! Lol!!
No computers, no pitch correct, no backing tracks, just a real group of musicians who can actually play their asses off! They are all great! Super tight and in the pocket... Props ;-)
From Hochatown ,Oklahoma with love 💘 Tesla still Rock and Rolling 40 yrs later !!!! One of the greatest bands ever !!! We love you guys , and a Big shout out to Jeff Keith !!!❤
In the summer of '87 I was home in DFW my on first leave after going into the military. My buddies and I went to the Texxas Jam. None of us had ever heard of Tesla before but when they went on stage they blew everyone away. They were the best band there and it wasn't even close. Been a hard core fan ever since.
So I'm commenting twice. Oh well...this band, even with out Tommy & Luke, still kicking ass and will always be my favorite band. Your music has always meant a lot to me and not only all of their solo stunts....love it, still trying to catch up on Tommy's new group and Dave Rude's new solo album...etc....love JK gone country and Franks etc.... You guys are bar far the most favorite and best live band ever in my world any ways.... I hope to see you in Vegas in April 24 but if not, maybe Sept of 2 024... If i could retire, i would travel the world with ya.....seriously.... I love your music that much. I've watched a lot of your interviews to know that you guys are just amazing and real, just like us ......I saw you in Vegas in Sept 23 & it just got me into all your old and new music again. I hope you guys keep touring and making new music because you have a special talent that no one else can replace.... I believe..... and I know.....Mama didn't raise no fool..... love you with all my heart. I also want to say, you get me through every day......No other band can do that, ever.....you have my soul.....love you forever....maybe I should get a tatooo?????/
I will never forget seeing them open for Def Leppard in 86 and they opened with commin at ya live … i was blown away and been a huge fan ever since. This is a great video. Too bad there were not other cameras .. Thanks for posting.
Dude! Same! That whole "in the round" thing. I went for Def Leppard, but they sooo outclassed them. I had saw the ads in the magazines but hadn't heard them yet. Pretty much forgot about DL after that. I only listen to the first 3 albums anyway. Saw them at the Omni in Atlanta. Also got fired from my grocery store job for going to that show.
They still sound absolutely amazing. Tesla reminds me of just a really solid, working man/womans 80's band. There's no BS, no filler...just 100% effort to make 100% rock music.
LOVE SONG brings back a ton of memories and emotions! I was at Cal Expo when they filmed the video. It was such a good show. I used to always try to find myself in the crowd when I watched it. Never could LOL I remember Great White opened the show. Such good times.
First time seeing Tesla was when Mechanical Resonance was released & they played with Badlands & Great White here in Florida...Damn good concert!! Glad to see they're still rocking & looking forward to seeing them again in February
I was living in Belgium at the time. The summer of 1990 I heard Love Song for the first time and bought The Great Radio Controversy shortly after. While I was really captured by that ballad I was blown away by their hard rocking chops. Later they came out with Five Man Acoustical Jam and that was constantly on the playlist at the pub I used to work at the summer of 1991. I really regret not seeing them when they toured in 1992 on the Psychotic Supper tour. Always been one of my favourite twin guitar attack acts a la Thin Lizzy, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, AC/DC vein. They are not and never were a hair band. They are just one of the best hard rock bands of this era, great to see them still rocking out. If you need any convincing of their chops and their pedigree and honoring their heroes listen to the double album Real To Reel. As a drummer I just loved Troy Lucketta’s playing, he was so locked in with Brian Wheat to provide that foundation for Jeff, Tommy and Keith to lay down their bluesy rock riffs and vocals. Much respect from Fiji….still listening to these guys 30 years later. Spent a bit of time in Sacramento a few years back. Great to be in the hometown of two of my favourite home bands Tesla nd Deftones.
Thanks for this upload. My 1st time seeing these guys, they opened for David Lee Roth, & I never heard of them at the time! Been a huge fan ever since, & these guys are humble, down to Earth, & great to the fans! My last show I saw them was when they were touring with Styx . I was singing along with every word, & JK noticed my enthusiasm! He spent alot of time on my side of the stage in direct eye contact with me as we sang together! Thanks JK! I'll never 4get that! My nephew was standing next to me & noticed too! Best show of my life!
At 52:00 - Jeff made dragging that stool out to centre stage look like really tough work! I love these guys. I haven't had the change to see them live, but man... are they ever on my list.
Stellar longevity" they have been delivering nearly as long as the mighty priest. Happy for these members, they really paid there dues within touring, studio practice, also just as thorough as very first tour. Extraordinary only a 1/4 dozen from 80's era are even still within music.
I sould have been there. 40 mi away. I need to start watching for Huntsville concerts. Never realized how much this band fit the South. Zep and Skynyrd Aesthetics.
Great Show . I am about 10 feet to your left. Behind the kid with glasses at the barricade. We got a little longer show from tesla with no Bad Marriage.
The 2 “opening bands” that were jaw-dropping and I went out after the concert and bought all their music, were Tesla opening for Def Leppard and Sevendust opening for Creed, both in Spokane. My Tesla playlist is one of my favorites that gets played OFTEN!! Thanks for posting this, brought back a TON of excellent memories. 🤘🏼
Jeff Keith is one of the nicest guys met him a couple of years ago he was signing autographs after a show and there was a young fan probably like 10 years old trying to get to the front and Jeff ended up jumping the barrier to reach the 10 year old so he can get his shirt signed and told the crowd this is the future right here
I've been a fan of these guys from the very start, wished but never had the chance to meet or jam with them, it would be a blast! One of the greatest bands ever! Thanks for keeping it going through the years, your biggest fan, V.
I never got to see them live, and they came and went last summer here in southern Oregon. Before I knew they were playing here.But I’m really happy they are still at it. Carry the torch boys!
Frank Hannon is so good doesn't get enough love. Great player amazing tone.
Indeed
This was the first band I ever saw live! Tesla opened for Poison at the Von Braun Civic center in Huntsville Alabama when I was just barely 17 years old. I have always loved this band! I am now 50 and still regard Tesla as one of the best bands ever!
Warms my heart to see heroes from my childhood still rockin their asses off.
Frank Hannon is one of the most underrated guitarist of all time. If you're getting your kid into guitar. PLEASE show them some Tesla to hear some good CLASSIC ROCK N ROLL!
He was guilty of playing a Gibson SG when super strats made for cooler pictures back then. He got the last laugh
Dude!!! Totally 100 % agree
Easily
I got my son a SG, and he's getting good!
He's 16 yo, and loves ROCK!
@@johnsizemore1623 I'd also recommend Dan Hawkins of The Darkness! :) hope he becomes a rock god!!!
these guys jam better than most.....these guitarists are some of the best players out there....

Tesla is the most underrated band.
They are awesome.
SeVeNDuSt is one of the most underrated bands. Tesla is a classic band that’s been kicking ass since the 80’s.
One of the greatest bands ever!! Even better live!!!

Yes Tesla is awesome

Okay these guys have not missed a beat! Better than ever !
You're deaf
@@Nomadicsage1 maybe 😂
Lol! I’ve done the same thing! Voice still sounds spot-on!
Frank, what a guitar master. Makes it look so easy!!🥁🎸🔥🎶🤘
Comin atcha Live is the best show opener in rock!!

Thank you for uploading this concert!!🤙🏼
100% agree, i have been to many y&t shows love Dave Meneketti and also have been 2 some tesla shows, both great bay area bands!!!!
Yes sir !
I met them when they were City Kidd! Jeff, Frank, Tommy, Brian, and Troy are down-to-earth, cool dudes!
How are they underrated? They have 4 platinum albums and 1 gold album. Sounds like they're fairly well recognized, as they should be. Great band.
@@garywitas7879people in Australia don’t know who they are, but they should. I introduced my Australian fiance to them.

The Tesla/Def Leppard concert is my favorite concert. Saw that same tour in 1988. Love the In The Round!
I saw that show in San diego ca!!
Saw that show @ BJCC B'ham..Al
Caught that one in Denver! Amazing show!
Tesla was and is so underrated…Jeff Keith has such a unique voice and the guitar melodies and solos are right up there with the best. Obviously still rockin’ hard to this day…great show!
Best regards from Poland ( Europe) to Tesla band. We wait for you.

All I know is Tesla gave every single drop of their blood, sweat, and tears, and heart's, and souls for their fans!
First met them at Skip's music on Arden Way in Sacto in 1981, or 82, .
Man, what a band, what a beautiful group of people!
Thank you so much Tesla!
Bitchin performance~
\💜👑💜/,
oh yes Skip's music I bought my first marshall and epiphone les paul there I've got a Gibson les paul now but I've heard good things about the newer epiphones now that Gibson has a new CEO that actually is a guitar player.
Wow SKIPS!! My step dad taught drums there JOE BELARDINO! And I hit up the Oasis every time CITY KIDD PLAYED
I've seen Tesla 3 times. Never a dull moment.

Damn . Seen em countless times in the late 80s sound just as good. Truly an excellent band
No computers, no pitch correct, no backing tracks, just a real group of musicians who can actually play their asses off! They are all great! Super tight and in the pocket... Props ;-)

You look awesome, and sound even better.....love you guys
Note for Note! Still the ultimate band of all time………

A SG with a floyd Love it!!!!! 🎸 🎸
They still sound absolutely amazing. Tesla reminds me of just a really solid, working man/womans 80's band. There's no BS, no filler...just 100% effort to make 100% rock music.
I saw these guys about 1987 in Asheville, North Carolina. One of my favorite bands in the 80's and 90's! 😃
LOVE SONG brings back a ton of memories and emotions! I was at Cal Expo when they filmed the video. It was such a good show. I used to always try to find myself in the crowd when I watched it. Never could LOL I remember Great White opened the show. Such good times.
Such a unique rock voice...Great band!

Glad to see they're still rocking & looking forward to seeing them again in February
I saw the same tour in North Carolina I've always thought they were badass and highly underrated.
I was living in Belgium at the time. The summer of 1990 I heard Love Song for the first time and bought The Great Radio Controversy shortly after.

Great to be in the hometown of two of my favourite home bands Tesla nd Deftones.
Well said.
One of the greatest 'real' rock bands ever. These guys would have been absolute LEGEND status if they'd have been born 20 years earlier.
Got to see them in 1988 in Johnson City,TN. With Def Leppard! Kicked ass!
Thanks for this upload. My 1st time seeing these guys, they opened for David Lee Roth, & I never heard of them at the time!

Watching Tesla open up with “Cumin atcha live” is as natural as breathing..... still kickin ass in 2021! Great footage, thank you for it!
Great band !! Great guys . Tesla always delivers. Wow ! What a set list . I just had an overdose Adrenaline rush for an hour and 48 minutes !!
At 52:00 - Jeff made dragging that stool out to centre stage look like really tough work! I love these guys. I haven't had the change to see them live, but man... are they ever on my list.
Me and my wife used not what you have, as our wedding songs, Last time saw them they opened up for the band scorpions. In shoreline in California.
This is just Bad Ass! Tesla, rockin as good now as they did in the 80's! Love that we get to see the show here.
They sound great, like usual, hope to see them. They were such a part of my 80s and 90s
Love this band!
Tesla is my favorite band and not because I'm from Sacramento. Cold blue steel is fantastic. Can't wait for their new cd to drop. Rock on guys!
It quite BOC had them crushed
Seen Tesla many times through the years. Big venues, small venues they always bring it! Great job filming this show.
Modern day cowboy still blows me away everytime I hear it one of my favs saw them in Memphis once with def leppard in the round
Tesla always brings it. Been a long time fan since the beginning.
Great video thanks for sharing 😎🤘🎸🎤
The boy's alway's deliver live.Love these timeless tunes.
First band I saw live supporting Def Leppard way back in 87 in Belfast. They were and still are fantastic.
Me too….Halifax N.S 1988………amazing
I can't believe how great this band still sounds. They are Amazing after all these years!!!
Who still listening in 2021 and will continue too in 2022!
The "City Kidd's" still get it on as always. 👍🏻🙂☕️
Last ROCK band standing,,, and FOREVER CHAMPIONS 🤘🏼. TESLA IS BETTER THAN EVER====> NEVER STOP ! 🎸
I love it when groups from my 20's sounded just as great as their alblums and Jeff/Tesla was one of them!
Stellar longevity" they have been delivering nearly as long as the mighty priest. Happy for these members, they really paid there dues within touring, studio practice, also just as thorough as very first tour. Extraordinary only a 1/4 dozen from 80's era are even still within music.
Killer show (as always)! Frank is such a badass guitar player so under appreciated in guitar great conversations!
I scene them in Sacramento on new years eve it was along time ago but it was awesome
I sould have been there. 40 mi away. I need to start watching for Huntsville concerts. Never realized how much this band fit the South. Zep and Skynyrd Aesthetics.
That is what you call MOVIN SOME SERIOUS AIR! Awesome!
They are so damn good!'
Seen their very 1st tour new every song love these boys best band from the 80s no ones even close
this is so good. and though not troy on drums, i couldn’t think of anyone who would play these songs as good as steve. great vibe! so solid.
Great Show . I am about 10 feet to your left. Behind the kid with glasses at the barricade. We got a little longer show from tesla with no Bad Marriage.
I’m so glad I clicked on this. Kickass job!
THIS CONCERT & FOOTAGE IS AMAZING!!!!!🙌🏼🥳🇺🇸🤘🏼🤘🏼 It’s almost like being there. I can’t believe I’m jamming on my iPad 🤣😂👏🏼. Well done hissdemon!!
Great quality recording, and Tesla always delivers! Love these guys!
The 2 “opening bands” that were jaw-dropping and I went out after the concert and bought all their music, were Tesla opening for Def Leppard and Sevendust opening for Creed, both in Spokane. My Tesla playlist is one of my favorites that gets played OFTEN!! Thanks for posting this, brought back a TON of excellent memories. 🤘🏼
Looking forward to seeing Tesla in Louisville, 2022!
Amazing band. Seen them many times and the always rock! So many hits!
El tiempo no ha tocado su voz, fantastica su vigencia!!
They sound great
I love that SG with a Floyd Rose and the Melissa intro to the intro of Love Song.
Always my fav band of all time!
Jeff Keith is one of the nicest guys met him a couple of years ago he was signing autographs after a show and there was a young fan probably like 10 years old trying to get to the front and Jeff ended up jumping the barrier to reach the 10 year old so he can get his shirt signed and told the crowd this is the future right here
Great camera close up!. Love those guitar harmonics between Frank and Dave. 🔥🔥🔥
Great set list!
Tesla is a true rock & roll band👍😊 seen them live with poison Def Leppard and they by far were the best live act. Keep Rocking guys 👍
I was there. They rocked hard.
I've been a fan of these guys from the very start, wished but never had the chance to meet or jam with them, it would be a blast! One of the greatest bands ever! Thanks for keeping it going through the years, your biggest fan, V.
I never got to see them live, and they came and went last summer here in southern Oregon. Before I knew they were playing here.But I’m really happy they are still at it. Carry the torch boys!
Same thing here... I live in Huntsville Alabama... AND DIDN'T KNOW they were even here... 😞
Sounds like their promoter needs to do a better job! Maybe they would be filling arenas!!! They certainly could!!!
This is some of the best bootleg I've ever seen! Tesla Rocks!
Wow! Awesome video! Couldn't be any closer than that. Yes Tesla is one of the greatest bands !
Tesla always ready to kick ass, and they sure do these guys just plain out rock.
What a great show. What an amazing band!
