Like I mentioned, it was a very loose atmosphere with a few goofs, like the beginning of "Love Song" when Brian wasn't at the keyboards, and another time when Tommy had to finish tuning. The performance though was great, Jeff had the crowd in the palm of his hand. It was great getting the chance to see them. Their music translates so well to the acoustic sound, more so than some other bands that have attempted it (I'm looking at you Dokken, valiant attempt, but stick with electric!). These guys make the whole acoustic thing look easy.
A few more things about the show. There was a contest that allowed some people to spend the show onstage with the band, sitting on the aforementioned couch. Also one lucky fan had the chance to actually go up and perform with them. The winner was a guy named Hugh, who joined Tesla for the final song of their set, "Little Suzi," and he was pretty good too! It was a great finish to an excellent set.
I encourage any fan of rock music to go out and see them if you have the chance, you will not be disappointed.

I admit... Bust a Nut was a guilty pleasure of mine for a long time.

That is a good album, though.

Chris,
Launched this on the world - or at least the part of the world that scours Advance.net for the (family-friendly) cream of the BC Web log.
Here's the link. Sorry here.
