Tesla Brings Back the Fun in Rock....Great Live Double Album!!
This album brings back those days very vividly. Damn, rock used to be fun didn't it? This album brings me back to a day when you could rock out, headbang a little, wear black t-shirts, and go to concerts where everyone was having a blast.

Tesla was probably one of the most underrated bands of the late 80's-early 90's. Never getting the recognition or fame of lesser bands, Tesla plugged away, releasing solid album after solid album. Their fans were true fans. And many, like me, have never stopped listening to the. This live collection, recorded on small venue tours, is the compilation of the best of their music from old to relatively new. The song selection is solid, and the sound makes you feel like you are at the club listening to the show.

Call me old. Call me nostalgic for my youth. But if you pull up next to me at the stop light, don't look at me wierd because I'm blasting this album and enjoying the hell out of it.


The Terrific Live Reunion Of A Great 80s Metal Band
This two-CD set features live versions of songs from the group's five 80s/early 90s albums. REPLUGGED LIVE is a great live reunion album from Tesla, who, along with Cinderella, Badlands, early Whitesnake, later Bon Jovi, and a few others, were like a metal version of Skynyrd or the Outlaws- melodic, yet raw and honest. The music here proves an old adage: all hair bands were 80s hard rockers, but not all 80s hard rockers were hair bands. .


Trusting the reviews
But I'm going to have to trust everyone when they say this is a good cd. Well, I am definately a Tesla fan and it doesn't get any better than the 5 man acoustical jam. I say this because I saw Tesla live at the Boathouse in VA Beach and it kills me to say it but they sucked live. 3 other bands in the boathouse kicked @SS so I know it's not the location. BUT!!! I will take a true fans word and pick this up.


Rocking Harder!
Re-Plugged live is a huge treat for any Tesla fan. . 2 CDs of all their classic material made this the one of the best gifts I received all year.

By the way, I got my hands on a promo copy of their upcoming release Into the Now and all I can say. . . is Tesla still kicks @$$.


Not A Hair Band
What you find on here is great song after great song, particularly on the 2nd CD. One more trip into the past unearths this recent live collection from regular joe rockers Tesla. "Gettin' Better" and "The Way It Is" sound better than their already impressive sudio versions. You can tell the band is having fun on stage, whether it's on the Aerosmith influenced "Mama's Fool" or the cold war anthem "Modern Day Cowboy. " Jeff Keith's rasp hasn't changed, nor has the acoustic/electric interplay between guitarists Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeoch. That they can do songs as different as the country-ish "What You Give" next to the rapid fire riffing of "Edison's Medicine" is a testament to their talent and staying power as a great rock band.
