│║   It is hard to believe that Teslaæs Five Man Acoustical Jam   ║ │
│║   album might well not have released because although the      ║ │
│║   groupÆs live acoustic performance at the Troscadero in       ║ │
│║   Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA was recorded, the band was   ║ │
│║   not intending on releasing it as an album. It was only when  ║ │
│║   Teslaæs label Geffen got wind that Teslaæs acoustic cover    ║ │
│║   of the Five Man Electrical Bandæs track ôSignsö ù played at  ║ │
│║   a radio station to promote the band ù was getting lots of    ║ │
│║   airplay that Geffen decided that it wanted to capitalize on  ║ │
│║   the song and this eventually led to the release of Five Man  ║ │
│║   Acoustical Jam a few months later.                           ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║   This was a brilliant move because Five Man Acoustical Jam    ║ │
│║   turned out to be arguably Teslaæs pinnacle and brought them  ║ │
│║   their biggest hit with ôSigns.ö Five Man Acoustical Jamæs    ║ │
│║   commercial success, in addition to the album simply being a  ║ │
│║   phenomenal and groundbreaking one, seemingly was the         ║ │
│║   ignitor that pushed many other rock bands to release albums  ║ │
│║   comprised of songs played acoustically. The one thing that   ║ │
│║   separates Tesla from a lot of the bands that eventually      ║ │
│║   later released similar type albums is that Tesla already     ║ │
│║   had blues based songs that lent themselves very well to      ║ │
│║   acoustic treatment. Throw in lead singer Jeff Keithæs        ║ │
│║   distinctive, raspy and powerful voice and playing the        ║ │
│║   bandÆs songs acoustically turned out to be a recipe for      ║ │
│║   greatness.                                                   ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║   Back in the day, I was a big Tesla fan but disappointed      ║ │
│║   with their last release Psychotic Supper and not really      ║ │
│║   into ballads and slowed down versions of songs.              ║ │
│║   Nevertheless, I loved Five Man Acoustical Jam right from     ║ │
│║   the start. The bandÆs stripped down arrangements of rocking  ║ │
│║   scorchers such as ôCominÆ Atcha Liveö and ôGettingÆ Betterö  ║ │
│║   worked so well. Even ballads such as ôThe Way It Isö and     ║ │
│║   ôLove Songö that I did not particularly like that much from  ║ │
│║   The Great Radio Controversy seemed to really come alive.     ║ │
│║   Keithæs various comments to the crowd also brought a real    ║ │
│║   laid back feel to the album along with the bandÆs very cool  ║ │
│║   covers of songs from the Rolling Stonesæ ôMotherÆs Little    ║ │
│║   Helperö to The Beatlesæ ôWe Can Work It Outö to Creedence    ║ │
│║   Cleawater Revivalæs ôLodi.ö The addition of the Grateful     ║ │
│║   Deadæs song ôTruckin'ö at the tail end of ôCominÆ Atcha      ║ │
│║   Liveö ù which was done right at the beginning of the show ù  ║ │
│║   was a brilliant move since it worked seamlessly and also     ║ │
│║   set the tone for Teslaæs entire set. The groupÆs crowning    ║ │
│║   achievement on Five Man Acoustical Jam was its very good     ║ │
│║   cover of the Five Man Electrical Bandæs ôSigns.ö             ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║   Tesla may be known foremost as a hard rock band but it is    ║ │
│║   their groundbreaking album Five Man Acoustical Jam that      ║ │
│║   will cement the bandÆs place in a very good way in the rock  ║ │
│║   and roll history books.                                      ║ │
