IT’S been said that lightning never strikes the same place
twice. However, it does in the case of Tesla.
The band has announced the release of a live recording of
their classic album, “Mechanical Resonance LIVE!”, celebrating the original
multi-Platinum record’s 30th birthday in style. With a few surprises
up their sleeve, including the single “Save That Goodness” written
and produced by Phil Collen of Def Leppard, the album will be
released in Europe on August 26th on Tesla’s longtime label partner Frontiers
Music Srl.
The record is being released in conjunction with Tesla’s USA
summer tour opening up for Def Leppard, where they will perform
in front of over half a million fans. For those long in the tooth, and with a
long memory, Tesla played as support for Leppard on the Hysteria tour,
including two memorable nights in Belfast’s Ulster Hall.
Frank Hannon of Tesla said: “30 years later and the songs on our first album still rock! Making this new live album of Mechanical Resonance was a reminder of the innocence and creative beginnings of Tesla.”
Brian Wheat added: "It was a lot of fun to re-visit some of the songs we hadn't played in decades and had a great time recording it. "
Over the course of their thirty-year career, which started in 1986, the iconic Sacramento melodic hard rock quintet—Frank Hannon [guitar], Brian Wheat [bass], Jeff Keith [lead vocals], Troy Luccketta [drums], and Dave Rude [guitar]—has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and played to sold out crowds across the globe, their three albums that followed “Mechanical Resonance” all went multi-Platinum in the USA. To say Tesla live is absolutely bombastic is an understatement, they are a hard rock band to beat all hard rock bands.

The 21st century has become something of a renaissance for Tesla. Most recently, 2014’s Simplicity bowed at #14 on the Billboard Top 200. The group ignited ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! in addition to scorching stages at festivals such as Rocklahoma, Graspop Metal Meeting, and Sweden Rock Festival as well as the cruise Monsters of Rock!
As they prepare to cut their ninth full-length album with
Phil Collen in the producer’s chair, Tesla takes another monumental leap
forward as they glance back on Mechanical Resonance Live!
