Probably the best guitar band of the late '80s and early '90s, Southern California rockers Tesla had frizzy hair but also had musical chops far ahead of their contemporaries. This 16-video collection is a journey Tesla fans will gladly take, since the band--aside from its Top 10 hits "Love Song" and "Signs"--was definitely not a singles machine. These videos showcase a group more interested in its music than its image, even if the songs from the band's debut, Mechanical Resonance, display five guys with lacquered hairdos.

With several videos from their two best albums, The Great Radio Controversy and Psychotic Supper (all nine videos of which are included here), Tesla became the preeminent straight-ahead rock band, combining radio-friendly melodies with harder-edged guitar riffs and rhythms. Notable for their omission in these videos are the requisite bimbos, with the amusing exception of "Need Your Lovin'," which parodies all of the rock-video clichés Tesla so smartly left out of their own work. --Kevin Filipski

4 out of 5 stars Focus on the music and you'll be okay.......2002-11-14

I constantly have to justify Tesla's greatness to my Radiohead-listening, artsy-fartsy elitist friends. It becomes harder to do while watching this DVD. I'm not much of a showman myself, but these guys put on quite a show in their early days. A lot of guitar hero moves, headbands, sparkly belts and other cheeseball outfits. I never believed my friend when she said she hung out with Tesla back in the day and they were glammy. They certainly weren't glammy as in makeup and skintight leather pants, but they had those fancy moves onstage, fireballs in the videos and just other wacky 80's things that made me absolutely cringe. The interviews are cool, and they show the down to earth side that exists underneath the showman. I also hate editing-why do they throw in footage where the members are obviously playing a completely different song or part of the music? Come on, spend some money to synch it up. Other than that, it's a cool video. It's also interesting to find out how much Jeff was hurt by the death of his dog. Tesla has farms philosophy-simple folk stuff, and it's refreshing. Focus on the great music and you'll be okay.

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME DVD FROM AWESOME BAND!!.......2002-06-08

Tesla rocks and they rock HARD on this DVD!! It's great to have every single Tesla video clip on crystal clear DVD. These videos bring back many memories. I totally recommend this DVD to all fans of pure hard rock!! Tesla is one the best bands EVER! I cannot say enough good things about them! Hope to see them in concert some day. I hear that Tesla are explosive live, and every time I listen to the OUTSTANDING 2CD Replugged Live set I am blown away! Times Makin Changes gives you a look at the bands stage performance, although all audio tracks except for Lazy Days, Crazy Nights & the Five Man Jam clips are from studio albums. Do yourself a favor and pick this DVD up! You won't regret it!
