That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That's just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid 80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like The Allman Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Aerosmith.
The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to TESLA, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits "Modern Day Cowboy" and "Little Suzi." 1989's double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits "Heaven's Trail (No Way Out)" and "Love Song". Suddenly, TESLA, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, TESLA helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band's "Signs." Other 90s albums from Tesla include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut. The band continues to record and release material including 9 new albums since 2000 and recently debuted their new single, "Time To Rock!"
TESLA has endured many of the same taste-changing challenges that affected many in the post-grunge world, but through it all, their blue-collar work ethic and dedication to the faithful fan base has helped them not just survive, but thrive. TESLA's legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world. As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure. TESLA is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.
Great venue for seeing and sound. Easy access to the bars. Tesla sounded fantastic. I have seen them over a half dozen times and this was easily the best. Highly recommend seeing them at the House of Blues - Las Vegas!
They sounded wonderful. Played so many hits, a lot from the 80's. And the new song All about love is great.
Every seat in the house was great , the louder the crowd the more the band seemed to really amp up the show .Best thing we did in vegas
Was quick to get into the venue. Local opening band was great. Tesla was so much fun and the audience was having so much fun. Thanks Grand!
I am so stoked I finally got to see them! They kicked ass the entire show!! There was never a dull moment once they started. Definitely a for sure go to show if you get the chance. Come to Reno anytime!!
We had an amazing time and look forward to more shows! Ordered our tickets early so our seats were great. I do believe that some fans need to remember they are at a rock concert and standing up randomly during the show is acceptable. But that’s not on you. Just people being people. Thanks!
Tesla did not disappoint! The band was just as stellar as ever and played the soundtrack of the GenX theater!
It's always amazing to see Tesla in concert. I have seen them countless times and they always deliver! From the first time I saw them in 1987, all the way through to today, in 2024, I am always amazed at what an incredibly tight band they are. All are just incredible musicians who always keep it real! They have written so many amazing songs over the decades. They truly write and play from the heart. Tesla is by far the most talented band to come out of the 1980's! All their albums are gems too. From Mechanical Resonance in 1986 all the way through to Shock in 2019, you cannot go wrong! Everyone should have their entire discography in their collection. By all means, don't miss Tesla when they come to your town, you will need not be disappointed! With Tesla, it's always Time To Rock!
We have seen Tesla many times. This was our first time at the GSR. The venue was awesome. Tesla sounded great. The fans, vibe, and experience was so awesome. We’re definitely coming back for another show at this venue. Once again Tesla put on an awesome performance. The band as a whole were on point. Such a ROCKIN show.
The GSR is a decent venue for concerts and Tesla was amazing!
TESLA WAS AN AMAZING SHOW, TO BE FAIR, I AM A SERIOUS FAN SO I AM BIASED BUT THEY SOUNDED GREAT AND CHECKED EVERY BOX OF WHAT WAS TO BE EXPECTED OF THE VETERAN ROCK BAND.. THE GREG GOLDEN BAND DID AN AMAZING JOB. GREG WAS AN AMAZING GUITARIST AND THE LEAD SINGER SOUNDED GREAT... GREAT SHOW, THE WHOLE BAND ROCKED AND THEY ONLY COVERED TWO SONGS, MOST WERE ORIGINALS..
Tesla’s sound hasn’t changed since they first started in the 80’s. They sound great with an equally great setlist! Looking forward to seeing them again especially with Brother Cane joining them hopefully for more shows!
I saw them twice in high school once in 87 once in 88 was a great show then was a great show. The other night took my girlfriend was our first time we’re hooked will be at all the shows at centerstage. What a great venue what a great band. What a great night. Thank you.
Great show and performance. Tesla is a incredible band.
Seen several concerts at MGM with Tesla. They never disappoint and put on an amazing show
They rocked the MGM! Go see them before you can’t!!
First time seeing Kurt Deimer, he opened up for TESLA.....he rocked the house!!! TESLA....what can I say.... AMAZING, AWESOME, another GREAT show!! 3rd year in a row we've seen them and I hope they keep coming back because we will BE THERE EVERYTIME!! TESLA.... OHIO LOVES YOU!!!
1st show at the venue. Great Time had by all. Staff was friendly. Tesla Rocked as usual. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Glad Frank was back. I think it showed, the band was happy to have him back also.
As always, the guys of Tesla did not disappoint. We see them every year when they come to north east Ohio. Out of all the bands I've seen many times, Tesla is the only one that has a perfect record for putting on a fantastic show. So glad Frank made it back for this show. Wouldn't have been the same without him.
