atleast he is singing whole song word for word. For those people knocking Jeff, imagine being in your 60s doing things just like you were in your 20s. he always does an amazing job vocally, and true told i am not even a huge Tesla fan , but I know i will get a great show! keep rocking guys!!
I agree completely. I think he and Bret Michaels are doing the best as far as frontmen from this era that are still performing. Jeff is doing great. And the band is tight as ever.
I just played this for my 20 something y/o son. He Didn't care for it until I pointed out that it goes through different eras. From the Wild West to the Cold War that was on when the song was written. Now it's cool.
@@AnonymousSourcesConfidential I've been to over 30 concerts... Boston... Their sound was so good live you would have thought the record was playing.. Ted Nugent... Your ears didn't recover for at least 10 days... Pantera.. all I can say is bow down... I never got to see INXS... Was told by many the best live band they had ever seen
@@doughboyjojofgc4401 pretty sure I heard icon music it's been a few years, have you heard of a band called savatage, it's heavy metal, understand I don't care for Metallica or most metal, I'm a purist.... Pantera
Jeff Keith's voice is as durable as Keith Richards' left hand. Don't know how he does it at his age. Not many of his contemporaries can come close. It sounds like he's hurting it, but he never seems to. Great band, awesome track, excellent capture - thanks for sharing!
I saw these guys in 1989 when they were on tour supporting The Great Radio Controversy album. I've seen a lot of live concerts and these guy were one of two of the most memorable live shows (Damn Yankees being the other). Frank and Tommy are definitely two guitar heroes who have gone under the radar.
I love how the band had zero idea of who the fuck Nikola Tesla was, what mechanical resonance is, or what the radio controversy was, and their original name “City Kidd” was changed by management because it’s just a shitty name. 😂 Posers? Maybe, but they could play, and the songs were great.
These guys are all great, hanging with them and the manager while on tour.. great memories for sure! Franks awesome! They are still playing big shows. A rarity for old rock bands!!
I have loved this band since Mech Reso hit the shelves in 1986. I grabbed that album the very first week. One of the best lead singers of all time (Jeff), one of the best drummers of all time (Troy), and honestly, when you throw Frank, Brian, and Tommy in you have one of the most powerful rhythm sections in hard rock. All that said, it's really hard for me to watch Tesla without Troy. But I completely understand what he feels after decades on the road.
Yep I've still got several of their albums on vinyl also. Saw them live back on June 11th, 1988 when they opened for Def Leppard on the Hysteria tour at the CNE Grandstand in Toronto (I still have the ticket stub, that's how I remember!). Both great bands who I'm so happy to see still kicking ass live!
Seen a hell of a lot of concerts in my lifetime. And I have to agree with the other guys comment. Granted, last time I saw them was probably 20 years ago Nevertheless one of the best bands I've ever seen live. Superb !!!!
Seen several shows in Phoenix, one in Milwaukee 1992 and couple years ago In Atlanta. There on business, checking local scene,….shot relate is at the Buckhead Theater. $40 Uber I’m catching Tesla in Atlanta! Amazing show
And we have tiny on bass guitar!! Sounds good fellas after all these years. Thanks for the outdoor party in the city kids days.that was some kick ass rock! Any body hungry?
Tommy and Frank were a formidable guitar duo on their first few albums. Great tone, killer riffs and great solos. They complimented each other very well. As an aside, I've played guitar for 40 years and this is the first time I ever saw a Floyd Rose floating tremolo on a Gibson SG.....nice
Tesla was the last show I saw live before the Great Shutdown. They ripped through a set here in Albuquerque. Have seen them many times and in many places. Hope to catch them live again somewhere down the road.
Damn! Look how old we all are! When the Hell did that happen?!! It's weird seeing how the crowd has aged right along with the band. But, at least we were around when rock music was big. I never ever imagined that Rock-n-Roll would die off. But it has.😥
Love Tesla!! His voice is always pretty much sounded like that though… That’s his style. Imagine singing like that for over 30 years L O L! We saw them twice in a little club in San Diego called 4th and B. Kick ass shows both times! 🤪 Tommy was there for one of them
One of the best shows I've ever seen was Tesla and Great White back before the club fire. That was 30 years ago. I have no idea how Jeff Keith's voice doesn't explode out of his throat. Its painful to hear, acually.
Saw them a few years ago, they were much better. Even a few years makes a big difference, it I'd very nearly over for all of us who listened to this as it was hsppening
Jeff sounds surprisingly good I thought his voice would be shot by now since it was always raspy but to me better than Vince Neil by a mile I never saw Tesla I will love to see them if they come to Tulsa
Wow.loved all Tesla's songs back in the day...I think the big reason for me is that driving ,balanced,attention to detail lead guitar with the red Gibson......that's a bad man....they are all good.i wish the lead singer had left his spandex back in the 80s this...lol
I see Jeff gained a lot of weight since his younger days (L O L) His voice is still going. I am amazed. They are always so good in concert. I definitely have to try to get to see them again. I saw they and Jackyl. OMG what a great show that was. I miss the 80’s so much.
I saw them back in the day. Around the release of the great radio controversy. Cant remember who they were opening for but they absolutely killed. One of the best live bands from that era.
Frank Hannon is a Beast. Maybe the most underrated/under appreciated Rock Guitarist in Music history
Truly. He just never got that cred like some of the others.
Absolutely correct.
No matter what he's still got us.
@@georgeglass3443 truth
Man I hate when people throw out underrated....usually stupid use. But in this case i have to agree
Poison and Def Leppard should drop backing track Motley Crue and add Tesla to their tour. The sustain on that SG is awesome!
They definitely deserve it!
atleast he is singing whole song word for word. For those people knocking Jeff, imagine being in your 60s doing things just like you were in your 20s.
he always does an amazing job vocally, and true told i am not even a huge Tesla fan , but I know i will get a great show! keep rocking guys!!
I agree completely. I think he and Bret Michaels are doing the best as far as frontmen from this era that are still performing. Jeff is doing great. And the band is tight as ever.
He still sounds like the song the man deserves credit! He still sounds great❤️ !
agreed this aint no cash grab like Motley Fool's Vince Neil
Why aren't you a huge fan? You don't like really good rock and roll?
He can still sing the tune. Jon bon jovi and a few others not so much anymore. I think if you can’t even carry the tune then it is time to hang it up.
One of the best live bands I have ever seen. Modern Day Cowboys for sure.
They opened for Def Leppard in NJ 1987 and they made them look pathetic....
@@brucehollmig4738 yahhhjhh...and Def Leppard still talks about this 🙄
The best no frills rock band there is ..Frankie is criminally underrated and a super nice person to boot
This is one FRICKIN AWESOME BAND!! Forty years later and TESLA STILL KICKS ASS!!!
The drummer is steve brown, young brother from dokken drummer mick brown
I just played this for my 20 something y/o son. He Didn't care for it until I pointed out that it goes through different eras.
From the Wild West to the Cold War that was on when the song was written. Now it's cool.
Tesla.... The world's most underrated band
No way. Winger.
@@AnonymousSourcesConfidential you know what... You're right... It's a shame because he was so damn good looking the critics couldn't buy it

Thanks!
I see em in 89 (I think it was 89) and then again last night, they are still as good as they were back then!
One of the greatest hard rock bands ever
Jeff's a beast ! Such an underrated band.
Frank Hannon and Jeff Keith were the genius creative force that drove the band Tesla. All five were a huge plus. Great live act. Always have been!
where's Troy the drummer?

They need Tommy back! That tour was my First concert! Dad took me , 12 yrs old. Opened for Poison. Was AMAZING!

@@jayteesgear My 1sr concert as well. And my Dad and mom took me and my sister! 33 years later and I’m still a Tesla fan!
@@WhyTheHorseface was that an insult, compliment, or both? :)
These guys are all great, hanging with them and the manager while on tour.. great memories for sure! Franks awesome! They are still playing big shows. A rarity for old rock bands!!
My God! I get chills listening to Frank Hannon! Like a larger EVH with a cool mustache that makes it look too easy.

This song is just wicked. 🤘🏼🤘🏼☠️☠️👊🏻. Tesla had so many badass songs.
I was there. Great day. Great concert..
Bud Light bro in the crowd is my brother. I hope you guys were nice to him.
They sound better now than when they where young. Pretty amazing!
They sound badass for sure but not sure I'd go that far!
This is probably one of the best HARD ROCK songs EVER.
I Love Tesla. One of the best bands of that era.
Bought this album, yes album, while stationed in Germany while in the Army. One of my favs along with Future World by Pretty Maids. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great Album! I was stationed in Germany from 87-89 Heilbron 26Th Signal BN

Saw these guys in Iowa a month ago they kicked ass
Man they really sound great! In their prime 2022!
I have seen tesla several times and they never disappointed once.
hell yea.. they sound tight. tight af. his voice has been through alot. it's just amazing rocking at 60ish. fudge yea!!! love you guys

Frank, Malcolm Ford passed away from a stroke,he sure like you brother.i knew him for fifty years.sad day he was cool dude.
Big fan of this drummer and his drum tech. Drums sound great and that dudes a power house of a performer.
Drummer is steve brown the younger brother of dokken Drummer wild mick brown🤘
Frank Hannon, an absolute axe shredder. Huge fan.
Frank is an absolute great guitar player 🎸
Tommy and Frank were a formidable guitar duo on their first few albums. Great tone, killer riffs and great solos. They complimented each other very well. As an aside, I've played guitar for 40 years and this is the first time I ever saw a Floyd Rose floating tremolo on a Gibson SG.....nice
@@frettin1706 I believe it's the first time for me also 🤔 that's a beautiful SG too👍
@@aschule5684 Just noticed the quilted top too. Definitely a first
Out of all the bands in the 80s Jeff's voice seriously has not changed. It's amazing.
Damn Jeff can really sing! Amazing band and one of my all time favorites .
Tesla was the last show I saw live before the Great Shutdown. They ripped through a set here in Albuquerque. Have seen them many times and in many places. Hope to catch them live again somewhere down the road.
Seen them 4 times, never disappointed. Good bunch of guys too, very humble and down to earth.
I freaking love this band!! I love how Brian’s bass sounds in the mix. Nice and heavy!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
YES!!!! still killing it !!!! WOW!!!
I saw Tesla probably 4 times back in the early 90s and back then they sounded just like the album during live shows!
One of my favorite guitar solos ever!!!!!
They still sound great. Even vocally. Jeff can't quite 'get there' sometimes, but it just works anyway. His voice is just so unique that way.
Glad to see them still rocking. One of my favorite bands. Love the vocals and guitar! Keep it up!
Woo hoo Frankie. You are so beyond amazing, guitar lord very best and forever. Love you way beyond tons. ❤️🥰. Made my weekend ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
Saw them back in the day, when I was cowboy of the modern day love these guys
I've seenTesla 5 times over the years. Both small club and large venue.. never met them but what a great Rock band.
Omg ….. still playin that devil music after a thousand years !!!!!!! Love it !!!
Awesome 🎸Brings back great memories 🎸
Love it! Tesla is always 🔥
Damn! Look how old we all are! When the Hell did that happen?!! It's weird seeing how the crowd has aged right along with the band. But, at least we were around when rock music was big. I never ever imagined that Rock-n-Roll would die off. But it has.😥
It’s not dead yet.
I was there yesterday. Awsome show !
You can hear Jeff's Texarkana Twang when he sings! 💖 One of the greatest ROCK BANDS EVER!
Nothing like seeing Tesla with a good PA mix,
they are tight!
My favorite all time live band. Nobody does it better than Tesla.
Sounds so good it's f'n insane. Saw them in Charlotte a couple years back and they kicked ass. Can't wait until they're back🤘
They still sound so good, I always liked Tesla !!!!! Thx for posting this, I'm going to follow for more.
Thank you. I get to as many shows as I can.
I saw Tesla when they opened for David Lee Roth for the Eat 'Em and Smile tour in Florida.
Jeff Keith still looks and sounds amazing ❤
Orale these homies bring back my school dayz memories, all stoned up.. hell yeah.
Great band!!!!! Fantastic Live. They give 100%
Usually ya cant hear da Singah nah!Jeff always delivers like da Rest of da Band!Jcsx
Favorite song by Tesla
Tuesday in Lubbock Texas can't wait
Love Tesla!! His voice is always pretty much sounded like that though… That’s his style. Imagine singing like that for over 30 years L O L! We saw them twice in a little club in San Diego called 4th and B. Kick ass shows both times! 🤪 Tommy was there for one of them
No he never sounded like that. Smoking fucked his voice up
These guys ROCK! Killer live band! 🤘😎
saw them on Cape Cod and ya had to be there...his voice is SO powerful .. they ROCKED and it was my dream to see them
One of the best shows I've ever seen was Tesla and Great White back before the club fire. That was 30 years ago. I have no idea how Jeff Keith's voice doesn't explode out of his throat. Its painful to hear, acually.
They are playing this Friday in sedelia mo. I plan on going
You still got it, Jeff! The whole band rocks!
They sound amazing.
Just freaking amazing!! Great band! Amazing body of music🎶
Tesla never fails to just rock it live!! Seen them many times and always top notch performers.
Saw them a few years ago, they were much better. Even a few years makes a big difference, it I'd very nearly over for all of us who listened to this as it was hsppening
Grunge fell by the wayside but 80's rockers still rockin'.
I love these guys.
They still are good in concert. 😊
Definitely
Jeff sounds surprisingly good I thought his voice would be shot by now since it was always raspy but to me better than Vince Neil by a mile I never saw Tesla I will love to see them if they come to Tulsa
These guys have always been amazing live. Rock boys.
Suenan super bien en vivo
Man they still sound great
Omg the accoutics sound awesome for the first time being there excellant
Such a great song!!! Kids, don't smoke.
First band I ever saw live
Ive accidentally seen Tesla live in concert 4 times in the mid and late 80s, opening for other bands I went to see. Lol 🎶
Great band!!
Wow they sound good.
Wow.loved all Tesla's songs back in the day...I think the big reason for me is that driving ,balanced,attention to detail lead guitar with the red Gibson......that's a bad man....they are all good.i wish the lead singer had left his spandex back in the 80s this...lol
Good to see Frank and Brian and Jeff still together ❤️🤟🔥🤟❤️
Excellent work!

He such a unique voice.
Good video, thanks for sharing.

Still kickin personally my favorite from back when we was in the real days of America
