Halloween Rock n' Roll

Hello Chesterville! Are you ready to ROCK?!?

On Halloween, Lee & I met up with Jody


and we drove down to the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom



a place that has some history


to see Tesla perform the last show of the first leg of their tour supporting their latest release Forever More.

As we sat in the parking lot waiting for the doors to open with a couple of Pumpkinhead Ales, Jode noticed a guy in the corner of the lot near the buses talking on his phone. It looked like Jeff Keith (lead singer). Lee got out of the car to get the camera from the back seat and kind of nodded to him. He promptly finished his call and walked across the parking lot to talk to us. He approached us wearing his Raiders jacket. It was indeed JK.




For some reason I was not introduced to him, so I stayed in the car drinking their beer.

Those two guys were pretty jacked when they got back to the car! Seems like JK is a great guy, loves football and rock n'roll!

Once they got inside (left me in the car again!) they found Pumkinhead on tap and started checking out the guitars



Then someone came out from back stage to talk to them...
Frank Hannon (lead guitar for Tesla)





They guys expressed their appreciation for 2 plus decades of great music and an absoutely GREAT CD in Forever More (available on itunes). He was extremely gracious and cool, thanking them for being loyal fans for so long (dudes are O L D!!).

The opening band was Pop Evil and they put on a good show. Both Lee and Jody said they would probably buy the CD "Lipstick on the Mirror".

Tesla did a lot of the new album and a few of their old songs, too.

The set list was;

'Forever More'
'I Wanna Live'
'Modern Day Cowboy'
'Breakin' Free',
Hang Tough'
'Heaven's Trail (No Way Out)'
'Mama's Fool'
'So What'
'One Day At A Time'
'The Way It Is'
'Fallin' Apart'
'What You Give'
'Love Song'
'Signs'
'Into The Now'
'Little Suzi'
'Comin' Atcha Live'
'In A Hole Again'
'Edison's Medicine'
'Free Bird' (with Pop Evil)



It was Halloween Night, JK came out in a Raider's Costume;



The Grand Finale with Pop Evil and Tesla doing Free Bird was AWESOME!

Found a pretty good review of the show on MySpace

That's it for now,

Rock on Peeps!
