TESLA LIVE IN CONCERT - ONE OF THE BEST FROM THE FIVE MAN ACOUSTICAL JAM ALBUM

I said i would and i am not about to desert all the fans of
Tesla, the hard rocking blues/metal band from the US who
have been around since the 80`s and hale from the city of
Sacremento. I said i was going to feature quite a number
of blogs on this band going back a few weeks ago and al-
ready i have written two about them. It was a real toss
up which song i should opt for this time round, i adore
their more heavier songs but the first two were based
on two such songs so this time i thought i`d go for a
much more laid back tune. The perfect candidate was
a song of TESLA's off their 1990 recording FIVE MAN
ACOUSTICAL JAM. A no frills title for a very no frills
recording, some of the songs are originals & some
are covers, but they are all breezy and feature flu-
ent guitar playing and some biting vocals from the
mouth of lead singer Jeff Keith, whom unlike pre-
vious heavier studio albums was not so drowned
out by his band members and a metallic rhythm
section. The neat cover of THE FIVE MAN ELEC-
TRICAL BAND song SIGNS from 1971, bit hard
not to notice a similarity between that name
and the name of this recording, is certainly
a catchy tune with more than a good dose of
satire and humour thrown in too. There's a F
word somewhere sung in the song, which to
my knowledge was TESLA's ad-lib and was
not featured in the original version, so to
all the kiddies out there, dont listen to the
video clip above okay if swearing offends.
