@@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.
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!
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)😁
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.
@@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.🤟
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.
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.
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.
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!!! ♥️🌿💐🍓💟💦🌟
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...
I remember getting into my first girlfriends pants thanks to this band back in the day...watching this makes me feel old asf and how much I miss crack😂🤪
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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!” 😂
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!
Still performing and enjoying life if you don’t like them don’t look at them they will be just fine without you...
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)
These guys still rock… never stop!!!!!!!
He was definitely still awake for the house of blues show the next night hahahah
I love these guys. If there was only one band to listen to, hands down its Tesla!
I love Tesla and Jeff's voice 💕
They were one of my favorite bands growing up! Gettin Better and Changes!!
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.

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
One hell of a great band!!
It isn't their song, it was first recorded by Five Man Electrical Band.
duh
michael morales and the original is better!
One of my favorite bands of all times. Hate I missed the taping of this in my home town!!!
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!! “

Psychotic Supper still is and will always be one of my favorite albums
They’re third best.
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
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
Seen them with def leppard amd reo speedwagon! Billings MT!!
One badass band still rocking today
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

Killer song , killer version
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...

excellent cover of 5 man electric band original song the guys are great
The drugs stands the test of time too.

A Sunburst Gibson Dove -beautiful!

Forget the other Tesla you got this Tesla 🤘
The homeboy seems a little tired,someone should get him a coffee
I think he’s alright😂
You guys still sound great.

Same here. Exactly.
I wouldn't worry about this band
Downtown Sacramento!! TESLA!!!

Man, it breaks my heart for Jeff Keith. Such a great band, but that meth sure has a hold on him.
He is jacked up!! 😂🤣
he looks like Barry Manalow and sounds like Eric Cartman.
that song signs was "5 man electric band" song from 1971....
Patty Smith is awesome
