Tesla: Unplugged Pioneers

By Miche Archetto:

In July 1990 the hard rock group Tesla, then at the peak of their success, gave a charity concert in Philadelphia. They chose an acoustic setup instead of the usual heavily electric gear. The concert was such a success that it was then released as a new album entitled “Five men acoustical jam”. Here is the acoustical rendition of their success “Before my eyes”, first appeared in their debut album “Mechanical resonance”. According to wikipedia, this album is considered the first unplugged show ever recorded, before MTV did it.
