J Geils Band 'So Sharp' 1972 Encore @ Boston's Orpheum Theatre

- Another tune from the legendary J.Geils Band 1972 show at Boston's Orpheum Theatre on Washington Street - 3 Sony B&W cameras and a switcher - terrible technology but driving music - George Wardwell gets the credit for making this happen - Charles Phillips, Andrika Donovan operated cameras and I switched. Peter Gowan and Barry Ober engineered sound - this clip is from the 1" original, transferred by Paul Beck
My party Band growing up. Living in Boston I must have seen them 25-30 times live. Nobody blew the roof off like this Band.
Tom Howland Detroit here, saw them tons of times in these. Days
I caught them in '74 and '75 at our local hockey rink in eastern Canada. Two of the most electrifying shows I have ever seen.
If I had been livin' in Boston back in the day I'd have seen them a hundred times. As it is I lived in the midwest and saw them 30+ times.
Big in Philly too with me and my buds.
Cape Cod Coliseum. Many times
Back when rock bands actually had talent.
They kick ass
@@melissademeo1903 Yup! And right from the gitgo, right out of the gate! 1st album is still their best to me.
Saw them in Tampa 1972 and nine more times. Best live band ever. Should be in the R n R Hall of Fame!!
The songs are markedly inferior, and really so are the vocals.
Saw them in Miami on that tour. That stage was smoking 🔥
RIP J Geils sorry to hear of his passing,they were one of the greatest party bands of the 70s
Saw them backstage at the Academy of Music in NYC....blew my mind the speed and accuracy with which they played....rock and roll at its best
Was a kid growing up in Detroit nothing like geils tearing up cobo in the late 70s Greatest live band ever 💙
I always thought they were from Detroit till years later they played there so much. I seen them at the Eastown in 71. Then at Cobo at the very back wall Tier C :-)
Thank YOU for this Vid!!!!!!!!!! If the J Geils Band from this time period could be pitted against any Rock band of all time---in a grand ..."Battle of the Bands"( if you will).....with no theatrics/gimmicks/explosions/lasers/ etc etc.....no band would stand a chance, against a well orchestrated ,Young in their 20's, well oiled J Geils band machine!! Maestro conductor Goofa Woofster would waltz the boys without a sweat to the winning trophy. Oh the memories evoked...........!
At this show down front, unbelievable
Do we really need to worry about special effects or technology when Geils plays? No! Any time they play and it's recorded, (who cares how), it's awesome!!!
Been a fan since 72'.............32 years and counting...
Back when it was really fun and cool to go to a concert and listen and Interact, instead of holding up cell phones! I don't know about you but I could not sit still during a J.Geils concert! Seen them blow a couple of headliners off the stage! They had a punch in the gut style of getting one to dance, move and ...!!
Great live band back in the day. RIP J. Geils.
To this day still one of my all-time favorite bands !!! These fuckin guys knew how to do it right!
The drummer is amazing.
Quelle horreur.
This bought back bad memories of the 1970s listening to J Geils and having too much fun.
Nobody rocked the house like the JGB.
Played at my HS Prom in 1969.
Wow!
Greatest keyboard player of all time!

True Showmen!
Great venue for a concert
Great, I mean REALLY great band!
Have to love J and his improvs
Man, I wish I could have attended a J. G. concert back in the day!!! This is a party band.
I saw them at Roosevelt Stadium in jersey city nj Some idiots actually booed them some people know their music and some do not.
Saw them play in the Cambridge Common in Harvard Square when they were the "Hallucinations." Have seen them so many times. The best live band ever!
I was there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was this like Feb 72?????
I would have love to been at that concert
That must have been a sweet concert
so lucky i was 2
Hey R&R HOF, Wake the hell up & put this band in.
And don't forget Little Feat!
I was lucky enough to be a teen in 72 in Boston and saw Geils Band many times, They were the permanent opening act at the Tea Party which for awhile was as good as the Fillmore ever was. I saw Elton John's first concert in the US there, plus Rod Stewart and Small faces, Paul Butterfield, James Gang, Mott the Hoople, The Band, John Mayall and others I can't remember but most of the time J Geils was the opening act and they were TIGHT. They went on to be one of the hottest rock n blues bands and then hit the pop charts. They could have been "The Next Stones" except Jagger and Richards seduces Wolf over to their world and Wolf never really went back to work after the early 80's. I met Seth Justman 5 years ago and he is a nice mellow jewish guy, short hair. But in those days, look at the photos, they walked the walk of the baddest asses in town.
The Best party band ever! Like Bob Seger GRIT! Got your ears on Boston? Detroit calling you! 💪👍😎🎸 Playing that Les Paul standard! R.I P. Jay Gilles. 🙏
What a fuckin great band seen them a couple times in the 70's
The very best rockin blues band ever. Why the hell are they not in the hall of fame? Please vote for them the next time they come up. They should have been in years ago. I never missed them when the came to Cleveland ,Ohio.
I think their song-writing was somewhat weak and that held them back. I mean, you don't typically go around humming a J.Geils Band tune like you would a song by the great bands of the era, or any era.
@@sheilamacdougal4874 You ARE A FOOL this BAND FILLED STADIUMS AND SOLD OUT. The audience would stand in the rows and dance the whole concert. A duh a duh. I know every song by this band, and I learned how to play the harmonica because of Magic Dick. Best rocking blues band ever. You make me sick.
@@sheilamacdougal4874 Yes I do go around humming and singing their music. Sorry you do not know what great music sounds like. I bet you like boy bands and rap. Sorry crap.
@@richardtaylor8595 I guess you need personal insults when you're weak on arguments. I'm comparing their song writing to genre peers, both blues-based or blues-influenced rock (Stones, Cream, Joplin, CCR) as well as R&B and soul: Otis, Wilson Pickett, Aretha, etc. and even groups like the Young Rascals, whose song-writing was more memorable. Wolf's vocals also leave something to be desired in my opinion, but feel free to insult some more in response.
Man, they could rock the house!!
I was a youngster I was exposed to weed n brewskies to at 8 yrs., These dudes n the blood shot album is so freakin cool n is great live jams.,..peace out,
Good times
Best bar band up and down the east coast, Cheasepke Baaayybe!
Yeppers! No denying a true , get the party started band 🎸 i I was 20 , walking into the mall, a place called Music Land had this playing when I walked in! I talked to Leo, a party dude I knew, he was a cashier, Let me guess Mike, you want this L.P.! We went into the back of the store and drank J.C. tequila! Got the LP free ! I bought every J. Giles Band that was released from then until I forgot when!! Almost 72 now and I still drink to that + other great bands but drink has changed to Fire Ball! Ya know! Old enough to know better but young enough to do it again! 🥃🤩, I'm still waiting for the old enough to know better kick in🎸😃
when its all night its alright cause if its alright then it'll be all night anyway!
i miss them i wish :peter Would tour
Only 75k views what's wrong with the world one of the best ever !!!
Les Paul straight into a Marshall with the old coiley cord.
imagine if Wolf had to worry about floor monitors, and how many he had, and where they were located - fuck that
Mine too. All the way over the St Paul .
Peter wolf. The greatest..we no in Boston back in the day.until centerfold etc crap came
Props to Arlester Christian. Good version.
Peter Wolf is as thin and wiry as Jagger, but he has twice the energy and stage presence.
it's called Real, Clean, Cocaine
@@danielmisuraca5062 I don't agree, maybe you need that shit to feel good, but not everybody!
@@danielmisuraca5062
All creative people have to be on drugs, eh?
@@thirdbase6870 they don’t have to be but they almost always are
@@josephcalitri5710
You KNOW from first hand experience, eh?
You- Tube! Someone knows! 🎵
Master Blaster, he don't lie. Set it up, and let's Go. Yeah, the leslie is talkin' to the Wolf & Geils. "Yeah, you don't have to go right home; you can go somewhere else and hang out, hash it out..." "Okay, man. Thanks."
About half of us have one, I have one, however mine is not magic.
Blaster is fricken stoned out of his mind
Sounds like Peter was nursing a cold that night or too much coke before the show😮
💖😇💖💖💕
