Product Description This DVD companion to Tesla's most popular live album "Five Man Acoustical Jam," shows how good ol' fashioned Rock 'n' Roll combined with raw young talent and acoustic instruments will rock your socks off. Shot and recorded at Philadelphia's Trocadero club in 1990, experience this once in a lifetime video performance of their only top 10 hit covering the Five Man Electrical Band's "Signs." Songs: Comin' Atcha Live/Truckin', Heaven's Trail (No Way Out), The Way It Is, We Can Work It Out, Signs, Gettin' Better, Before My Eyes, Paradise, Lodi, Mother's Little Helper, Modern Day Cowboy, Love Song, Tommy's Down Home, Little Suzi, Down Fo' Boogie. .com 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

As good as it gets!!!
Had it on vhs back in the day and was always a go to. Loved their plugged n music passionately but to go from live and loud to acoustic and still blow you away was amazing!!! I've got to see them live twice and what a great live band.Hope they release a remastered dvd of this someday but still over the top. The video that basically started the MTV unplugged series and as good as the Clapton and Nirvana sessions. A must have

Some great music‼️
I just started recently knowing about TESLA, but never listen to any of their music. They have some good songs like LOVE SONG andWHAT YOU GIVE and some others.They’ve been around for over 30 years now which is a feat in itself... I hope they continue as a group for some years to come.

Groundbreaking concert!
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.

Nothing like the old days
This concert inspired me in my younger music days, to shape how i play today, i had this on VHS and as soon as i found out it was on DVD, I had to have it, so many of the old concert videos are getting lost not being transfered to this format. Thumbs up to Tesla. What a concert, paved the way for future acoustic sets, which are still nowhere near as good as this.

Best DVD!
My husband had been talking about this album forever as one of his favorites but I could never find it in stores. I went online and found the cd and this DVD. We love it! It's just like you are sitting in the audience.
