I'm feeling some Dobie Gillis vibe here.<BR/><BR/>I've not listened to Tesla, but I know of groups that do a lot of covers that I suspect have that same thing going on. There's a stamp of identity that they give some of the stuff they do that makes it their own--and sometimes they don't.utenzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988445461413550750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-79064030910031849012007-06-02T08:55:00.000-07:002007-06-02T08:55:00.000-07:00Hard-driving, yet elegant.

What I meant is that it isn't so much about Tesla (in the music covered) as it is (about Tesla's rendition of it). It might make more sense if you heard the some of the songs. At times it sounds <I>just</I> like Deep Purple (or Zep, or the Stones or...), but upon closer examination, it is unmistakably Tesla. Does that help?Michael K.
