Live Review: Tesla at Mission Ballroom

Tesla demonstrated their staying power at Denver’s Mission Ballroom as they made their way through a mix of old and new songs Saturday night. Partway through a near two-hour set, front man Jeff Keith introduced one from back in the day say saying “this is from 1986…and here we are still rocking out in 2025!”. The band then played “Changes,” a song from their debut album, Mechanical Resonance, that first put them on the map.

Openers Fastest Land Animal described Tesla as “some of the nicest guys on the planet.” And they might just be right. The band repeatedly told the crowd how happy and full of gratitude they were to be performing for what was nearly a full house. A sentiment that was further echoed with songs like “All About Love,” “Love Me” and “Love Song.” The hard rock veterans closed the night out with their cover of Five Man Electric Band’s “Signs.” A song that never seems to lose relevance, performed by a band that clearly hasn’t either.
