Music video
On July 7, 1989, the music video was filmed during a concert in the band's home town of Sacramento at the former Cal Expo amphitheater. KRXQ (93 Rock), a local rock radio station at the time, was aware that the music video was to be filmed at the concert. The station held a contest awarding backstage passes to the fan who created the best banner that displayed "93 Rock", "Tesla", and "Love Song". Banners can be seen being held up in the audience and background throughout the video.
