This song is one of the hands down best jams ever. My neighbors loved this awesome tune so much that they threw a rock through my window to hear it better!!!
JOHN WARREN GEILS JR . (November 20 ,1946 - April 11, 2017 ) was known in the music world as J. GEILS and died at age 71 . RIP J. GEILS - you are missed but your music lives on !
@@janjustice3882I just turned 66 and I remember the chicks loved Nazareth for that song "Hair Of The Dog!" You give them some Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill and put that album on, you were set!
I'm gonna be 35 next month in May the 19th and grew up on 70s and 80s music and ahh missed out but listening to all this good shit in 2024. Such a more pleasant time and not the hustle and basal of today.
this is such a dumb thing to say. honestly. i love j. geils, but there is music out now that's certainly equal, and probably way better. Listen to wfmu and nts. and just listen in general.
I had tickets front row center for the show at the fox in Atlanta. I still haven't forgiven them. They were invited on Saturday night live and cancelled the concert.
This will always be one of my all-time favorite songs. I can't understand why it has been forgotten by most. It's the quintessential party song. Not only is it the perfect funky groove, it's also an intense rocker, with everyone taking a blistering solo. I LOVE THIS SONG!
It is a blistering perfect party jam...sweetest killer groove by the mighty J. Geils Band!! One of my favorites. My friend Maureen and I had a J Geils tape that we partied to all the time in High School. Best music. They came from loving the Blues n R n B n Soul n Rock n they put it all together so right!!
How in the hell are Diana Ross and the Supremes, and Gladys Knight and the pips in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame? But not J Geils? It’s a goddamn shame.
Brings back when I was stationed in the service, a couple of the guys used to blare the "jam" part of this in the barracks. this in the barracks. Great tune!
Green Infrastructure Buffalo NY Buffalo NY ...Real artists are more concerned with their ART and wanting to present their art in the best way they can. Commercialism can be nice, but robs the TRUE ART form.
I been diggin on these bad ass vibes since 73 and I just can't stop rockin this righteous sound man at 65 now,just rippin those riffs,sooooo coool dog !
I’m another 65 y o brother still rocking out , when I can , time is starting to catch up with me ! Oh well , it’s been one hell of a great ride and I’ve loved just about every single minute of it . Peace to all !
Mark Burnett Best frickin party band ever. Wncx in Cleveland used to have a Saturday night show and they played alotta J Geils.... where I'm at in upstate ny now they play the older stuff too
MrTheHillfolk I'm from Detroit and we used to see them at Cobo Hall in the spring...see them in the summer at Pine Knob and see 'em again at Cobo Hall in October. What a great party band!! I'm so lucky that I saw them over 8 times..crazy stoned ass times. Yeah!!✌💜
One of the best live concert bands in the 70s. Every show I saw the sound system was excellent sounding without alot of distortion. I left the show still tapping my foot and bobbing my head. What fun bluesy music it was.
Dynamic live act. Peter Wolf , awesome front man, Learned how to play a little Harp listening to Magic Dick. Hara Arena 73, 74, 75,76. Dayton, Ohio. Still got all their albums. Whammer Jammer forever.
This is my all-time favorite J. Geils Band song. It's appreciated in every which way and I, especially like this full-length version than the single- edit length because you hear the solos by Magic Dick(harmonica) and Mr. J. Geils himself on guitar. Love the bass and percussion on it as well not to mention the organ solo before extended jam-out. Also, I might add, that my late girlfriend of 17 years also got to give it to me and she gave it GOOD. More than anybody I had ever gone out with in my history of relationships.RIP Baby Girl!
I remember WBCN in Boston used to play "House Party" for their TV commercials in the early 80's right when I was getting into classic rock. The first time I heard it I was totally blown away by J Geils
The black clubs in my hometown loved rocking this classic by the J.Geils Band though this came out in the 70s we kept rocking it right on though the 80s and beyond..one of my all time favorite funk rock jams..that and the Sweet's "Funk It Up"
THIS WAS MY VERY FIRST CONCERT AT 14 YES OLD!!! I HAD THE BEST TIME, even though my DAD was there too!!, ( he said it DIDN'T ROCK ENOUGH FOR HIM) LOL!! RIP DAD, I MISS YOU!!
Always brought their LPs to the parties I'd go to in the *SEVENTIES,* Baby!!!! In particular: *"FULL HOUSE (Live)"* and this one, *"BLOODSHOT!"* Magic Dick, Peter Wolf (days of sunglasses on stage!), J.Geils, et al.!!!
Bought this record 35 years ago! I hear Centerfold by these guys all the time on Classic Radio, never this song! My personal favorite by this band! Rock On!
I became a big fan of them after seeing them live for the first time in 74. What a high energy, hard driving band, in no time they had the whole audience standing on the seats, moving and grooving for a whole 2 hour show. They put on some of the best live shows of any group I've ever seen, and I saw most of the big names in the 70s.
I don't know anyone that has ever seen this band live that wasn't a big fan. No doubt among the best live bands ever, I've always regarded these guys as a rocking party on legs.
Saw them 20 times in the 70’s . I have seen them all . Nobody ever put on a better dance on your seat performance. Mick Jagger couldn’t hold Peter Wolf’s jock strap when it came to dancing and getting the audience to dance !!!!
Living in Boston in the mid-70s, catching J. Geils and the James Montgomery Blues Band for free on the Esplanade or at Nickerson Field, both bands would just TEAR IT UP wherever they played. No posing, no pyrotechnics, no big screen backdrops -- just hard-driving thrill-house rock and roll.
Geils Band had a really tough time getting this great tune on the radio...So many pansy radio stations kept 'em down cuz 'you gotta give it to me' was too hot for their sponsors! As a single the song was kept in the closet for months....in some places for years! TRUE
I thought he was asking for the car keys from his Mom so he go out and party Saturday night!? And, his buds brought Bongos and a whistle along for the ride. So many interpretations to the poetry of lyric. - Sandy
How wistful and nostalgic I become when I hear great bands like this featuring killer Hammond solos and excellent keys. J. Geils is one of those bands who I appreciate even more now than when I first heard them. And I loved them back then. Rock on!
I saw Jay geils in Dayton Ohio in the late 70s there are my favorite bands I got there early enough so I was in the first couple rows magic deck would go behind the speakers huge lines of Coke and drink Jack Daniels come back on the stage you would nail the harmonica with all those great sounds I loved it
There was better hash weed back then but the album was red thats all I'm saying the band n little feat all the early 70 late 60s wash the Beat traffic n All I'm a hill William ever heard of goose creek sym.lol its all good peace
6 minutes and 32 seconds of Moving and Grooving, Cow Bell, Hammond Organ w/Leslie Speaker, Funky Lead, Rhythm, Saxophone, Drums,Whistle. Oh and the greatest subject of all time. "Give it to Me"
my sister was huge fan of them and she and her friend saw them in concert at kent state and after the show they decided to get a bite to eat afterwards and the whole band stopped in for something to eat also and sat with my sister and talked to them
They played here at the Erie County Field House Erie Pa in maybe 75/76 and they played this song. I thought the place was coming down around us. Just killer. Boston Ma.put's out good music. RIP J.G.
best party band ever,, So many memory's listening to these guys in the early seventy's.. The more beer we drank the better it got if you can imagine . This song is fucking amazing.
Yeah man back then if you went to a party there was J. Giels playing at some point or it wasn't a party. The definition of party music back then was J. Giels. It ain't nothing but a party !
Heard it shopping in a clothing store [back when Christ was a child], bought the album, it is now 2022 and I still play it as one of my favorites. OH !! converted it to CD and kept the jacketed 33 in a secure location with the rest of my coveted 33"s.
I saw J Geils at the Swing auditorium in San Berdo back in 1975, they were great. Also saw ZZ Top, Elvin Bishop, and Frank Zappa at the Swing. Years lter heard that a plane crashed into the Swing and burned it to the ground.............damn it.
A toast!! To Our adopted sons fron Boston.Forever heros in Detroit. I dunno why we took to them like we did. But the energy was always blow the roof off the place when they gigged here. They always seem to just fit us.
How awesome was it to grow up in the 70' and early 80's when this was the norm for music. No image, no flash, no dancers, no Grammy's where you have heard of no one. Just talented artists who deserved to be where they were.
6 1/2 minutes of song, 2/3 of which is an outSTANDing instrumental outro jam...you will not hear the likes of this on radio today. Listened to WVBF in Boston all year back in '73 and this was one of its top tracks...oh man..I think I have rediscovered another peerless band..thx youtube!
+b1zook- OMGosh Yes!! Your first sentence is perfectly written and I agree 100%. However, if it weren't for L.A.'s TheSound here in So.California I would have never known that J. Geils actually has some great music. ( I'm not a fan of their 'Love Stinks'/ 'Centerfold' period )
I met J Geils a couple of times, I was 17ish in my mother's office and she mentioned in front of him that I had played some of his bands music for her and she said " I don't love Love Stinks". He was very nice to my mother, sent her flowers when she was in the hospital and joked around with her. I do remember telling her he was in a band, not an orchestra. She met Peter and Faye as well. Faye Dunaway was also very friendly, so unlike most celebrities.
Lucky! What a memory that would be. I was born in 67 and 50 miles outside of Detroit so thinking my parents musta said no way! Lmao Lately feeling so lucky myself being feed a steady diet of Detroit Rock and Roll from Arthur P and Doug Podell Oya also the always sexy voice of Karen Savelly just to name a few voices that connected me with bands playing great new Rock as well as the classic. Now 54 still I return to my roots and find how Rock was my first true Love and has to this day never let me down. Peace brother thanks for the comment I miss those days of youth and will always remember that Detroit audiences are the greatest Rock and Roll audiences in world!
This track really captured the sound that J. Geils were creating during this album - white funk. This tune was a huge hit in Boston back in the day. Many people outside of Boston don't know that Peter Wolf was a famous DJ on WBCN (sister station to KROQ in LA) in the 1960s. I was fortunate enough to see them live at Boston Garden in the 80s while in college. I love these kats!
@@robertkriwer2345 I ran into Peter Wolf on Charles Street in the mid-1980s while studying film at Emerson. He was so stoned, he literally bumped into me as he was staggering home. WBCN has/had a sister station here in LA called KROQ.
I had the good fortune to be in Boston Garden, that Saturday night they recorded the "Blow Your Face Out" album. Strange line-up with UFO as the opening act, followed by Poco, and then the hometown boys themselves.
I remember rocking out to this song as a teenager when I was coming out of my adolescent depression. I used to play air guitar to this song pretending I was some major rock star in concert
I saw J Geils in Philly at the Spectrum. I was 13 or 14. They rocked the house with this song!! This long version is so full of soul and man did they jam!!!!!!!
This song is one of the hands down best jams ever. My neighbors loved this awesome tune so much that they threw a rock through my window to hear it better!!!
got air conditioning now. thank you neighbors
🤣🎼🎵🍻
Dig it!
Lmao
Back in the day, the cops showed up at our house from this cranking!

Ahhh, the '70's what a great time to be alive! No phones, no social media, everything was happening organically.
I'm 61. The 70's was the best decade of my life and Nazareth was one of the most popular groups of the 70's.

Oh yeah baby, I will be 68 this summer the 70s rocked, we had the life
@@Lisa-hn3hz Keep on rockin' til the wheels come off!!
The smell of weed, the sound of J Geils... fuck that was great back then...
It is possible the dope is "better" now, but there's no reason to go searching for improvement in terms of jammin' tunes.
@@JohnSmith-op1tc Because it doesn't get any better than this!
Still is...😎

this is such a dumb thing to say. honestly. i love j. geils, but there is music out now that's certainly equal, and probably way better. Listen to wfmu and nts. and just listen in general.
Saw them live at an outdoor festival in pinnacle NC in the summer of 86...Better live on lp
GREAT LP- IT WAS A TRANSPARENT RED VINYL LP!!! SAW THEM TWICE!!!!😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
I have that in my vinyl collection👍
I had tickets front row center for the show at the fox in Atlanta. I still haven't forgiven them. They were invited on Saturday night live and cancelled the concert.
It is good to be an old guy. We had the best music.
Old Guys Rule! . . that's my trademark, pass it on.
so true

Absolutely Donna , keep on rockin’ !
Still rocking in 2024!

Keep rocking Donna the good old 70s
This group was straight up American rock and roll. Miss bands like this.
IMO J Geils was the best American band for a good while!
J geils was played at every house party in the winter - pull up the floor !
This sounds pretty reggae meets Stax to my ears.
i would say dis song is southern rock tempered w blues.
Peter is still touring and he is amazing pnss
This will always be one of my all-time favorite songs. I can't understand why it has been forgotten by most. It's the quintessential party song. Not only is it the perfect funky groove, it's also an intense rocker, with everyone taking a blistering solo. I LOVE THIS SONG!

@@jackwilkie6632 The guy on the harp is badass!
I didn't forget
Not forgotten
I’m 25. My coworker in his mid 50s showed me this great song. We started talking about older music and we ended up playing old tunes the whole shift.
The J.Geils Band are the real deal brah.
This is the song l play to all my girlfriends
70s great rock
@@TheRydog61 olomO
The old tunes are still the best ! Today's music is pure garbage
...1973 was a great year for music....
Listen all you younger people, every band in the 70s jammed like this. It was fucking great!
Ahh the 70s miss that shit.
Yeah where the music go it’s so bad now it’s really depressing
Unfuckin believable is what it was!!!!
Yup,, our 70s,, the GREATEST. How bout some STEPPENWOLF, on that MAGIC CARPET RIDE???
there was music standards
Im 60 plus years old and I've seen j giels 5 or 6 times what a show everytime. takes me back to the 70s man what a great time to be in your (my)youth
Damn I am jealous. Never saw them but got dam they were great.
It’s 2024 and I’m with ya brother! I’ve seen J Geils in Fl. Never forget78’
I saw them. 5 plus times in the 70's-80's. Got some great pictures.
In my humble opinion, J Geils Band best tune. If this don't make your feet wanna move, nuthin' will.
I agree if you feet don't move some is wrong with you!!
I had the red colored ablum, Summer, 1973. Good times!!1
Rhythm section is great! If you only know Centerfold...It's your loss 😎
One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen! Saw them in 1981 opening for the Stones!
,me too, only paid 15.00 for ticket . Best concert ever !!!
I saw them at the University of Arkansas right after the release of their Full House album was released in 1973. Great show.
Wow. What a deal!
I'm so jealous 😫
Me too spent in candlestick
Many doobies smoked back in the day while listening to J Giles 🤘👍
Could have Doobie brothers smokin with you
This is when music was music ! Kicks ass
RIP J Geils. Always the first song I think of when someone mentions J Geils. That instrumental jam at the end is just awesome.
Sure is!
@@maribethstern8023 I like your style..a lot!!!Greetings from Greece
@@mixaliskokkinos1496 Thank you a lot! ❤️
When you hear that whistle blow, get ready to JAM!!!
@@joanmorgan4389- you ALREADY KNOW 😊
Smoked a lot of beer and drank a lot of weed to J Geils.
That's Good!
I sure did too. That cotton mouth Mexican.
Mouth so dry you couldn't come up with
A spit ball for nothing..
Yes we all did
@derithross8314 wasn't it great? From what I remember.
6 minutes
32 seconds on the radio in 1973 was an eternity!
Just one of the many great bands that should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but aren't what a crime
We call it the "Hall of shame. NWA is in there. Gotta b from Compton,CA!
Reppin bean town
How in the hell are Diana Ross and the Supremes, and Gladys Knight and the pips in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame? But not J Geils? It’s a goddamn shame.
I agree!
@@smartluck100
It’s truly fucked up, my friend!
Brings back when I was stationed in the service, a couple of the guys used to blare the "jam" part of this in the barracks. this in the barracks. Great tune!
This song never gets old😂
Should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
You are so right Aaron I miss those days
These guys cared about MUSIC and JAM - and not commercial radio ratings.
Pure talent.
Green Infrastructure Buffalo NY Buffalo NY ...Real artists are more concerned with their ART and wanting to present their art in the best way they can. Commercialism can be nice, but robs the TRUE ART form.
It really shows in their music too !
47 years old and just discovering this song which is 47 years old. It is the shit. Very freaking underrated band.
That’s a far out coincidence, my young rocker friend!!
So much funk in their playing style.
So much energy awesome concerts
I was around 20 when I when I remember seeing them doing this at Cobo Arena in Detroit. They were a blast to see live! Enjoy it brother!
@@juneharry4857 whole band in perfect syncopation every time
When the springtime comes, this is the song I blast in the car with the windows down.
Sounds like a nice tradition, I'll try it here in Phoenix come spring time.
Me too!
I blast this song almost everyday in my truck
Oh fucking yeah!! Let it rip!!!
Exactly... You hit the nail right on the head with your post. This is the exact scenario/image that pops in my head when I even think about this song.
Saw these guys only once but it was funky licious........
Top 10 songs of all time. If this doesn’t get you moving you’re dead.
I been diggin on these bad ass vibes since 73 and I just can't stop rockin this righteous sound man at 65 now,just rippin those riffs,sooooo coool dog !

Why can't "classic" rock stations play this instead of Centerfold over and over and over again???
Mark Burnett cuz they don't think people want to hear it They play it safe rock pac kaged with preservatives like frozen food
Mike Mcdonnell Amen and a half!!
Mark Burnett depends on where you live I'm in SoCal and 100.3 the sound is great
Mark Burnett
Best frickin party band ever.

Ahhh, the memories.
One of the best two part rock songs with a jam in the second half (kind of like the Rolling Stones "can't you hear me knocking" that way.
I am63 now and I still love this song. Bloodshot was my first album I would take it with me when I babysat for my neighbors.
One of the best live concert bands in the 70s. Every show I saw the sound system was excellent sounding without alot of distortion. I left the show still tapping my foot and bobbing my head. What fun bluesy music it was.
and he would jump around like a frog. Damn that singer would jump.

In particular: *"FULL HOUSE (Live)"* and this one, *"BLOODSHOT!"*
Magic Dick, Peter Wolf (days of sunglasses on stage!), J.Geils, et al.!!!
Can't sit still when these guys play live! The best live band I've ever seen personally. 😁👍
GREAT live band.
tell that to KISS fans...
Bloodshot 1973 on Red Vinyl! This song, Southside Shuffle, and Ain't Nuthin' but a House Party!!! Timeless!
First concert I ever went to back in the 70's. They ROCKED the house down!! 🤘🔥✌️
I have loved this jam for 4 decades....timeless shit....still rocks my ass...wait for the break!!!!
I love the break- can't dance enough to this and did in the day!
Louder the better
Oooohhh that break… yeah baby yeah!
Song gets better as it goes along!
DAMN! We sure had it good. Gets an old guy to boogie!! Hats off to the Greatest Party Band!!
Bought this record 35 years ago! I hear Centerfold by these guys all the time on Classic Radio, never this song! My personal favorite by this band! Rock On!
'Love Stinks' & 'Musta Got Lost' - two other great songs!
While I was glad to see the band get some love with Centerfold and Freeze Frame, to me that just wasn't J Geils.
1973, I was a junior in high school. Still love this song.
Same here, the whole album is great
My favorite song by far by them.
Me too. Became a junior that September. This song wasn't a big hit, but it did get some airplay.
In all seriousness this may be 1 of the 20 greatest rock songs of all time
I became a big fan of them after seeing them live for the first time in 74.

One of the Funkiest Songs Ever!
Come Back is funkier.
@@DS-ss396 Come Back by which artist/band? As there is literally tons of songs called Come Back.
oy vey
They were really good at mixing styles. Come Back is another cool eclectic song.
A small Missouri town tavern band did this song - lit the place up!
This song has the best jam! It's always playing in my head!
No better band in the 70s
Brings back memories of growing up in the 70’s
Saw them 20 times in the 70’s . I have seen them all . Nobody ever put on a better dance on your seat performance. Mick Jagger couldn’t hold Peter Wolf’s jock strap when it came to dancing and getting the audience to dance !!!!
This is CLASSIC 70s Funk-Rock.
The best!
They were ahead of their time.
Thank you.
absolutely
Still have the album
maybenot76, They Absolutely were ahead of their time ✌️
And why 70's rule!
First heard this song in 77. buying a dime bag of columbian. And it just stuck have loved J.Geils since then.
Living in Boston in the mid-70s, catching J. Geils and the James Montgomery Blues Band for free on the Esplanade or at Nickerson Field, both bands would just TEAR IT UP wherever they played. No posing, no pyrotechnics, no big screen backdrops -- just hard-driving thrill-house rock and roll.

The whole album kicks azz

That good ole Hammond..yeah

@@angelaallen340 So what? What does that have to do with what he or she said?
Excellent song. I almost forgotten about this song and I woke up this morning thinking about it. Thank you.
6 minutes and 32 seconds of Moving and Grooving, Cow Bell, Hammond Organ w/Leslie Speaker, Funky Lead, Rhythm, Saxophone, Drums,Whistle. Oh and the greatest subject of all time. "Give it to Me"
great summation
my sister was huge fan of them and she and her friend saw them in concert at kent state and after the show they decided to get a bite to eat afterwards and the whole band stopped in for something to eat also and sat with my sister and talked to them
They played here at the Erie County Field House Erie Pa in maybe 75/76 and they played this song. I thought the place was coming down around us. Just killer. Boston Ma.put's out good music. RIP J.G.
best party band ever,, So many memory's listening to these guys in the early seventy's.. The more beer we drank the better it got if you can imagine . This song is fucking amazing.
YEP...party group and one of college bands we all wanted to see...we all lived the nuts parties
Yeah man back then if you went to a party there was J. Giels playing at some point or it wasn't a party. The definition of party music back then was J. Giels. It ain't nothing but a party !
best dance song they ever played! brings me back to 1975. great year!
You can’t be that old girl !
i ve been listening to this since i bought the 45 in 1973 when i was 13
Thanks to you and our companions the legend lives on.
Heard this on the way to my wedding in 1999 and think about it every time I hear this song.
One of the best bands to ever come out of Boston!!!
or maybe quart of Capt Morgan
One of the?????
Along with the Cars , the del Fuegos
They were from New Jersey
Very true 👍
one of the best transitions ever. Why keep me cold, when it's so warm inside
any band w a guy named.." MaGIC DicK" in it...can get away w these sweet lyrics...🍻
Heard it shopping in a clothing store [back when Christ was a child], bought the album, it is now 2022 and I still play it as one of my favorites. OH !! converted it to CD and kept the jacketed 33 in a secure location with the rest of my coveted 33"s.
I saw J Geils at the Swing auditorium in San Berdo back in 1975, they were great. Also saw ZZ Top, Elvin Bishop, and Frank Zappa at the Swing. Years lter heard that a plane crashed into the Swing and burned it to the ground.............damn it.
+Josie Forbes- :-))) Really, San Bernaghetto? I've recently lived in San Bernardino!! Just had to say hey because I never see Ole SBDO mentioned.
A toast!! To Our adopted sons fron Boston.Forever heros in Detroit. I dunno why we took to them like we did. But the energy was always blow the roof off the place when they gigged here. They always seem to just fit us.
How awesome was it to grow up in the 70' and early 80's when this was the norm for music. No image, no flash, no dancers, no Grammy's where you have heard of no one. Just talented artists who deserved to be where they were.
This was my shit. My party POOPERS love this. Break dancing and free styling all night long. I Deejayed and played this at all of my parties.
6 1/2 minutes of song, 2/3 of which is an outSTANDing instrumental outro jam...you will not hear the likes of this on radio today. Listened to WVBF in Boston all year back in '73 and this was one of its top tracks...oh man..I think I have rediscovered another peerless band..thx youtube!
+b1zook- OMGosh Yes!! Your first sentence is perfectly written and I agree 100%. However, if it weren't for L.A.'s TheSound here in So.California I would have never known that J. Geils actually has some great music. ( I'm not a fan of their 'Love Stinks'/ 'Centerfold' period )
Yes, this is the best! I love the Bloodshot album.
J Geils definitely rocks. This song is so awesome with such an excellent jam session. Greatest party music ever.
I met J Geils a couple of times, I was 17ish in my mother's office and she mentioned in front of him that I had played some of his bands music for her and she said " I don't love Love Stinks". He was very nice to my mother, sent her flowers when she was in the hospital and joked around with her. I do remember telling her he was in a band, not an orchestra. She met Peter and Faye as well. Faye Dunaway was also very friendly, so unlike most celebrities.
J Geils was a great band from beginning to commercial success, always were awesome. An American classic.
Far and away my favorite J. Geils cut. I defy anyone to sit still during that track!
I know I cant !
Mission impossible! Lol
I was there. Detroit. 1974 Cobo Hall. One of my shows ever!!! 3 bands. Ended after 1am
Lucky! What a memory that would be. I was born in 67 and 50 miles outside of Detroit so thinking my parents musta said no way! Lmao Lately feeling so lucky myself being feed a steady diet of Detroit Rock and Roll from Arthur P and Doug Podell Oya also the always sexy voice of Karen Savelly just to name a few voices that connected me with bands playing great new Rock as well as the classic. Now 54 still I return to my roots and find how Rock was my first true Love and has to this day never let me down. Peace brother thanks for the comment I miss those days of youth and will always remember that Detroit audiences are the greatest Rock and Roll audiences in world!
This track really captured the sound that J. Geils were creating during this album - white funk. This tune was a huge hit in Boston back in the day. Many people outside of Boston don't know that Peter Wolf was a famous DJ on WBCN (sister station to KROQ in LA) in the 1960s. I was fortunate enough to see them live at Boston Garden in the 80s while in college. I love these kats!
12-27-21, watching a documentary about WBCN and Peter wolf's time there and it brought me here.
@@robertkriwer2345 I ran into Peter Wolf on Charles Street in the mid-1980s while studying film at Emerson. He was so stoned, he literally bumped into me as he was staggering home. WBCN has/had a sister station here in LA called KROQ.
I had the good fortune to be in Boston Garden, that Saturday night they recorded the "Blow Your Face Out" album. Strange line-up with UFO as the opening act, followed by Poco, and then the hometown boys themselves.
@@ncexnyc4466 Cool, I wish I was at that show. I saw them in Boston around 1980 - 1982.
wrecked my 70 chevelle .flipped onto it's roof this never stop playing
Was it pioneer 8 track?
Fuckin' A! Glad you are still alive to tell us about this. :)
I did the same thing - "My Cherona" was playing
i had a 70 big block. mid 80's fn loved it.
So what's wrong with that you musta had a good time...lol
Can not believe they don't play this on radio enough....
I remember rocking out to this song as a teenager when I was coming out of my adolescent depression. I used to play air guitar to this song pretending I was some major rock star in concert
I saw J Geils in Philly at the Spectrum. I was 13 or 14. They rocked the house with this song!! This long version is so full of soul and man did they jam!!!!!!!
