Tesla will release their Mechanical Resonance Live CD on August 26.

It celebrates the 30th anniversary of the band’s multi-platinum debut album – and includes bonus track Save That Goodness, produced by Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen.

Guitarist Frank Hannon says: “30 years later, and the songs on our first album still rock. Making this new live album of Mechanical Resonance was a reminder of the innocence and creative beginnings of Tesla.”

Bassist Brian Wheat adds: “It was a lot of fun to re-visit some of the songs we hadn’t played in decades and had a great time recording it.”

Tesla are currently touring the US with Def Leppard and REO Speedwagon.

Mechanical Resonance Live can be pre-ordered via Amazon.
