Tesla - Five Man Video Band

Starring:Tesla
Studio: Geffen Records
Product Type: DVD

This 1990 acoustic performance shows that Tesla was a hair band in name only. For 75 minutes, the California hard-rock quintet runs through a scintillating selection of originals and well-chosen covers in one of the very first acoustic concerts before MTV's Unplugged became all the rage. The ragged video quality adds to the homey, intimate atmosphere the band creates sitting on stools in a small Philadelphia club surrounded by hundreds of rabid fans. Along with songs off its first two albums--including "Modern Day Cowboy," "The Way It Is," and its first Top 10 single, "Love Song"--Tesla also generously throws in chestnuts like "Truckin'," "We Can Work It Out," and its smash-hit version of the Five Man Electrical Band's trippy "Signs." Versatility wasn't the hallmark of most guitar bands, but Tesla never needed hairspray and bimbo-laden videos; Five Man Video Band is ample proof. Only quibble: no 5.1 remix of the dynamic music. --Kevin Filipski

Groundbreaking concert!.......2007-02-01

I have this concert on cd and vhs and plan on getting on dvd. This is an awesome groundbreaking concert and was one of the very first acoustic concerts. Keep in mind the Tesla-Five Man Acoustical Jam concert took place a year or two before the MTV Unplugged (acoustic) concert series. This concert may very well have opened the door for the MTV unplugged concerts and other acoustic shows. If it wasn't for the Tesla acoustic concert there might not have been the MTV unplugged concerts or any other acoustic concerts.

Pure Rock N' Roll.......2005-07-19

Telsa is a pure rock band!!! They are true musicians!!! Some the best in the business!!! Their music will simply move you.
Whether it's hard rockin tunes or very well arranged ballads they can play any style!!! Frank Hannon is one of the best guitarists in rock Hey this band actually play's guitar solo's something the younger generation probably doesn't know about, Jeff Keith is an excellent singer he is always dead on!!! The whole band is tight and this was just the beginning!!! If you love straight up Rock N' Roll this DVD is for you!!!

P.S. Pick up there new CD Into The Now, You'll love it!!!!!

One of the few Rock bands who could pull it off.......2005-03-09

One of the best Rock bands ever, proving that they can rock without the aid of all the amps. A must for any and all Tesla fans. I just saw them recently on their 2005 Unplugged Tour and they sounded just as they did on this DVD 15 years later. They played for about two hours and did not disappoint. Buy this DVD and pick up their new CD "Into The Now " while you are at it. If you have a chance to see them live, Don't miss them. They Rock !! I can Teslafy to that. No 90's hair band here. This is Rock-n-Roll at its' finest.

Best Damn Acoustic DVD Around.......2003-12-23
