 I was very disappointed March 1, 2008

The whole reason i bought this cd was to be able to listen to it in my car. However, it will not play at all in the car. Lower quality cd's and cd's that are made at home quality will not play on my cd player, so I thought by ordering them on Amazon I would get new cd's that were good quality.

I really love this cd. A first of its kind (now everyone has done an acoustic cd). They proved to be much more than anything in their league in the late 80's with this cd. Great ambiance and a really full sound. excellent for background music while having some beers with friends. Something everyone can enjoy. Classic.
 highly enjoyable September 10, 2006

I am not a big Tesla fan but this is a great album. I think what hurt them is that they were categorized with the all the goofy hair metal bands but they were more in the vein of your classic 70's style rock and roll band. This live album, along with the accoustic format, helped to distinguish Tesla from the hair metal bands of the era.
Tesla did not do much after this cd so this acts as an excellent greatest hits compilation as well.
Besides their own work, the covers are good and interesting selections. They do not just play "Truckin", rather they segue into it. "Lodi" is done very well and then the song that essentially launched the cd, as well as the band, is "Signs". They take this marginal 60's era protest song and put their stamp of it. It still maintains a protest aura to it but the accoustic treatment makes it grittier and it rocks out harder. Tesla made the song their own!
As far as the accoustic format, the song "Love Song" showcases the musicianship of the band. I like how they could not resist plugging in for the guitar solo.
Overall, you do not have to be a fan of this band to enjoy this cd. If you like any classic rock Led Zep, CCR, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Aerosmith etc. then you will like this.
Like I said, I am not a big fan but b/c of this cd, I would see them live any day!

Este es uno de esos discos que deber?an acompa?arte de por vida. Una aut?ntica maravilla. Muchos de los temas, como la preciosa "Paradise" ganan en ac?stico y el resultado es mucho mejor que en estudio. La banda al completo versionea cl?sicos de Grateful Dead, Stones, Beatles o la Creedence y los hace suyos sin problemas, rindiendo un perfecto homenaje. Muy por encima de la gran mayor?a de "unpluggeds" que desfilaron despu?s copiando esta formula.
No lo dudes, Tesla es una de esas grandes bandas capaces de facturar maravillas, y esta es su maravilla m?s grande.

I have heard some good live albums, but nothing beats this. Not only is it difficult to make a live album, but to have it be aqoustic......AMAZING. I would have never thought Tesla's music could be THAT good being done aqoustic. This is a must have.
