When Tesla took the stage for a drunken, roaring crowd on this Friday
evening, most of the chairs had been stacked up leaving room for many to
rush the stage...And they did, as soon as the
dueling guitars of Frank Hannon and Tommy Scheoch began to stir things up.
In fact, by the time the whole band kicked in to their appropriate opener, "Comin'
Atcha Live," their was a huge mass of unruly disciples smashed up against
the barrier. The pandimonium continued with yet another reason to
roar, a cover of "War Pigs," which is a recent, but well accepted addition
to the band's set (and an opportunity for vocalist Jeff Keith to go a little
crazy on stage).
A hush finally fell over the crowd as they softly and swiftly played on with
a ballad, "Getting Better," to be precise and as the head straight rockers
played on, a great mood of appreciate fell over the exhausted crowd and
cheers continued through rockers like "Mama's Fool" and slower classics like
"What You Give," just the same...
Of course, a night of Tesla
would not be complete without the old school covers that brought the band
great success early on in their careers. So, they pulled "Little Suzi" and
"Signs" out mid-set to stir things up once again.
