More hair metal for the massess.

Actually, Tesla really wasn't a hair band as much as they were damn fine hard rock, with one of the more effective twin-guitar acts out there.

This show was taken from the World Series of Rock 89, which had Poison as the headliners, and also included Winger, White Lion and one other band that I can't remember now. I really miss the days when you can get five kickass bands doing extended sets. Maybe I'm getting too old, but I believe once you get more than five or six, with second stages, the show becomes overblown and its hard to remember much of it afterwords. Five is about right.

Whoops--major tangent there. This was early in the Great Radio Controversey tour, and Tesla would return to Wisconsin later in the year with Great White and Badlands in tour. I caught that show in Milwaukee, which was awesome. (If anyone has either the Tesla or GW set from some date on that tour, that would be great).

And just listening to this again makes me realize how strong of a setlist this show has--with the exception of We're No Good Together, this has the best songs from the first two albums. Amazing

Anyway, enjoy everyone.
