Vulfpeck revisited its April 27th, 2018 show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Wednesday with a live video of “Tesla”. The clip from the group’s concert at the iconic Morrison, CO venue features a guest sit-in from Louis Cole (Knower).
Instrumentally, “Tesla” bears striking similarities to “Daddy, He Got A Tesla” off 2016’s The Beautiful Game. The main difference is the lack of vocals originally provided by Pegasus Warning. Instead, Vulf ramps up the BPMs and turns this one into an all-out funk assault. With Louis Cole behind the kit, the band is able to keep up a breakneck pace without worrying about burning up in the atmosphere upon re-entry.
Joey Dasik does his part on alto-saxophone, teasing Mozart‘s “Eine kleine Nachtmusik”. Then there’s Jack Stratton, the ringleader of the bunch who stands off to the side and counts out changes in time signature. Centerstage is Joe Dart and Cory Wong, who get locked into a guitar-battle-meets-dance-off. All around the Red Rocks stage is a near sensory overload until the band brings it on home.
Watch Vulfpeck perform “Tesla” with special guest Louis Cole at Red Rocks on April 27th, 2018. Vulfpeck released its most recent album, The Joy of Music, The Job of Real Estate, in 2020, selling the LP’s 10th track on eBay for $71,000 to NYC jazz-rock outfit Earthquake Lights, who filled the slot with their original composition “Off and Away”.
