I was at this show. They broke up before I got a chance to see them live. When I heard they were getting back to together to open the HOB, I flew from California just to see it. I felt like I was at a classic JGB show from back in the day. Peter Wolf is the best front man of any rock band, ever. How did 17 people give this video a thumbs down?
The fact that they didn't put J Geils Band in the HOF before he died, is a travesty. Yet they put rappers in. Sorry, but rap music IS NOT Rock and Roll. What in the hell is wrong with them?
The R&R HOF seems to have become a load of politically correct garbage. No Ted Nugent; no Grass Roots; no Association, but many rap/hip-hop, even disco trash.
Saw Geils at the Garden in like 79. Tall boys and a sliver flask of Crown flowing, and a packed fat vial of the best yeyo I have ever did. Best concert ever. Was absolute toast.
This band is one of the best live bands you will ever see it's just a shame that they are not in the rock and roll hall of fame they are hands down the best party band that ever made the seen when they came to town come on the best live bands j girls and Aerosmith from Boston come on j giels has been overlooked for hall of fame come on open your eyes 😮
Being from Worcester, Ma., we'd see J. Geils live playing at every college, auditorium, and the old Boston Garden countless times. Went to 2 New Years Eve J. Geils concerts. Blow Your Face Out.
you were not messed up enough if you can remember that....I can remember where I sat during taping of their first live album taping at the Cinderella...in the orchestra pit with the light show persons of which I was aqcuainted but they didn't let me help>>too high.
My very first concert was when I went to see J. Geils Band at the Hampton Roads Coliseum on Sunday, October 27, 1974. They were headlining the show. The package was, Golden Earring; Earth Wind& Fire and J Geils. It was a great show!
The announcer is famous Boston DJ and Peter Wolf's good friend Charles Daniels - "The Master Blaster" who was partners with Peter on WBCN radio and named Peter Wolf "Woofa Goofa". He announced the Boston Tea Party shows. R.I.P to a Boston music cornerstone.
Blow your face out was played at every party we had back in the 70's. One of my favorite live albums of all time. This whole Band clicks on 20 cylinders! If this band doesn't get you moving around then I suggest listening to Barry Manilow. I still listen to Blow your face out.
I'm turning 65 in March..J. Giles was in Tampa, FL. Down Town. Warmer Band 4 Humble Pie. It was my very first concert! Been in Love ever Since. Jay Moucha
I saw J Geils in February 1972 with Yes (on their Fragile tour). Stood in the first row, about two feet from the stage. One of the best concerts I ever attended!
Saw them with Kiss and Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band at Roosevelt Stadium in NJ some time in like '76(?). The whole show was amazing. I remember J. Geils absolutely kicked ass. Great concert. Young in the 70's. I don't know but, musically, we had it the best. Absolutely Love The J. Geils Band.
This isn't in an arena, but it's awesome!! Arena rock is usually worse. First, because the sound at the venue is bad, and second, because the band is usually unfocused, distracted, and sloppy. I don't hear any sloppy playing at this small venue!! 😊
Saw Seth in a Peoples Express line in LAX around 87. I said Hey Seth Justman and he looked at me like I was crazy. He had his keyboard earrings on, so as he was walking by me it was just a knee jerk reaction that I recognized him. I had Full House as a kid and played the shit out of it. Remember those gigantic Peoples Express lines snaking through huge crows of people? Whats up Seth.
thank God I am so blessed to have seen Jay geils quite a few times with the first time before full House came out was in 1972 in Puerto Rico at a festival called my soul and I they were amazing 3 months later full House came out told all my friends I was the 13 year old boy smoking hash
These cats may be from Boston but Detroit is their second home. They were very popular here. Full House was recorded live in Detroit and is probably the best live album ever after the Allman Brothers "Live at the Fillmore East". Saw Peter Wolf perform with Kid Rock here a few years ago and he's still got it.
The J Geils Band live at The House of Blues ,Boston ,MA ,on the 19th of Feb 2009. Setlist : First I Look at the Purse Homework Hard Drivin' Man Pack Fair and Square Sanctuary Night Time Freeze Frame Cruisin' for a Love So Sharp Detroit Breakdown It Serves You Right to Suffer Give It to Me Must of Got Lost Love Stinks Lookin' for a Love Whammer Jammer Ain't Nothin' But a House Party Encore: Just Can't Wait Centerfold Encore 2: Start All Over Again Where Did Our Love Go Encore 3: Peach Tree Street Love-Itis END.
I saw Magic Dick and J Geils (Jerome), just the 2 of them in concert at the Cellar in Ohio (more recent), as well as the full band back in the day MANY times......always a blast!!!
Howdy 1Russian, I am Not sure who you are calling 'Jerome' but that is Not His "J Geils" Name, His full legal Birth name Is "John Warren Geils JR" Because Johns Dad was "John Warren Geils SR. John Warren Geils JR started to Run with "JW" "JAY" "JR" or at Poly Tech in Worcester he just Ran with "J" When the Band started to gain success. He is Buried with his Legal Name "John Geils" Cow}:-o)
@@Im1CrazyCow if you seen enough jcal shows or listen to some of their live albums Peter Wolf always says to Jay geils play it Jerome so there's your answer I think everybody knows what his name is!
Seen am four times all in the 1970s first time I was 14,1970...Just them played for almost 3,hours at Xavier field house in Cincinnati..My big brother handed Peter a joint, as they were doing give to me...Peter was hitting that joint one side of the stage dance back an handed it back to big brother..lol,,Crowd went crazy we were there right next to the stage..no security Then What a.blast Then 1975 Cleveland Ohio, as J,Geils opened for the Rolling Stones tour of its Only Rock an Roll album..Then Twice at Cincinnati Gardens...MY BOYS EVER ONE OF AM PURE. MUSIC 🎶 MEN..Thanks for the best Memories, J,GEILS BAND..Rest in Music J,Geils
Thanks for posting, we saw them several times back in the day. As said they were the highest energy LIVE act at the time. Sadly the studio releases didn't capture their live mojo.

Saw giels band in 76 peter Frampton opened this is when Frampton comes alive came out spfld Massachusetts Frampton opened got booed off stage had to come out and play with giels this is giels homecourt
I got to see the J Giels Band twice in Houston TX. They were awesome. I seen them one time at the Music Hall. My favorite album is Full House by the band.
I know this was over 10 years ago....but my gosh, Peter hadn't missed a step in four decades! I've never had the chance to see these guys. R.I.P. J. Geils.
I passed late '80s Boston garden seats like 10 bucks I'll catch them next year I never got to see him live Born and raised on Waltham Mass damn that's a regret
The Rock and Roll hall of fame should just close its doors. The J. Geils Band omission is CRIMINAL.
But they have ABBA and George Michael!
Amen!!! Major influencers on tons of acts!! Speaking of the term ‘influencers’…………….PETER WOLFE IS AN INFLUENCER!!!
Absolutely agree with you!
I saw them twice in the 80’s . Amazing live show. I had a high school friend tell me you HAVE TO SEE THEM. I’m glad I did
Ya well just look what they consider rock nowdays heh. Thats like Animal Farm. The WOLF! Rox!
One of the TOP 10 GREATEST ROCK N ROCK BANDS OF ALL-TIME.
Make no mistake, this band would blow all these kids away these days.
Merick'r! 🤙🍺🇺🇸
I was at this show. They broke up before I got a chance to see them live. When I heard they were getting back to together to open the HOB, I flew from California just to see it. I felt like I was at a classic JGB show from back in the day. Peter Wolf is the best front man of any rock band, ever. How did 17 people give this video a thumbs down?
Nice!
Those 17...and the additional 17 now,to 34...don't matter. The J. Geils Band however, DOES and always will !!!!!!
Wish I was at this show. My hubby saw the 7 times! That still blows my mind! Love them. Part of my generation.
you got that right brother, forget old "saucer lips" Peter Wolf rules the stage
No idea. When I was front man for a band in ski season in Aspen I lost weight depending on the size of the stage. Yknow, running around room. !
I want to thank the person that recorded this . It's classic J Geils , thank you SO much !!!!!! 😊
Ok people let’s get J Geils in the rock and roll hall of fame.
The fact that they didn't put J Geils Band in the HOF before he died, is a travesty. Yet they put rappers in. Sorry, but rap music IS NOT Rock and Roll. What in the hell is wrong with them?
The R&R HOF seems to have become a load of politically correct garbage. No Ted Nugent; no Grass Roots; no Association, but many rap/hip-hop, even disco trash.
Unbelievable
Why. R & R Hall means nothing anymore.
Johnny Winter, Savoy Brown. SMH.
The One and Only J Geils Band, there will never be a band like them ever again.
J Geils Band for the R & R Hall of Fame. RIP J Geils.
The R&R HOF is totally over rated. We don't need them to know how good The J.Geils Band are.
I got to see them live 4 or 5 times. Best concerts ever!!
Saw Geils at the Garden in like 79. Tall boys and a sliver flask of Crown flowing, and a packed fat vial of the best yeyo I have ever did. Best concert ever. Was absolute toast.
I think i was drinking Southern Comfort. The real stuff 100 proof.
This band is one of the best live bands you will ever see it's just a shame that they are not in the rock and roll hall of fame they are hands down the best party band that ever made the seen when they came to town come on the best live bands j girls and Aerosmith from Boston come on j giels has been overlooked for hall of fame come on open your eyes 😮

R.I.P. J. Geils. What a band you had!
Sad that "his" band sued to prevent him from performing solo under his own name.
I was fortunate enough to attend this show and it was SMOKING from top to bottom. RIP Jay. Peter was a bundle of energy ,as you can see.
What's crazy is he is almost more manic than 30 yrs before, and they were unbelievable back then. Pre-'centerfold'
Saw them in Detroit many times, the greatest party band ever!
I saw these guys at Maple Leaf Gardens back in the 70's. They came out for 3 encores. What a band.
you were not messed up enough if you can remember that....I can remember where I sat during taping of their first live album taping at the Cinderella...in the orchestra pit with the light show persons of which I was aqcuainted but they didn't let me help>>too high.

f---kn awesome show! Wish I was there, but felt as if I was. Thank you all.l
I saw them in 1972 in Detroit (where recorded Full House) I never forget that kind of hurricane
The Grande Ballroom.
I was a big fan see I'm still playing them in 2022. Thanks much again! Cheers 🍻
First concert I saw was this band at Crisler Arena in AA, MI 1973. Peter Wolf and Magic Dick smoked a J with us and rocked the show. Good Times!
I seen them with Montrose and UFO what a show J.Geils blew them away in the 70's
Their first album has got to be one greatest debut albums ever!
The announcer is famous Boston DJ and Peter Wolf's good friend Charles Daniels - "The Master Blaster" who was partners with Peter on WBCN radio and named Peter Wolf "Woofa Goofa". He announced the Boston Tea Party shows. R.I.P to a Boston music cornerstone.
perhaps charles
I cranked these albums so much so my neighbors each side and across the street. Those were the days!
Blow your face out was played at every party we had back in the 70's. One of my favorite live albums of all time. This whole Band clicks on 20 cylinders! If this band doesn't get you moving around then I suggest listening to Barry Manilow. I still listen to Blow your face out.
I saw them live at Pine Knob Michigan in '82! They were KICK ASS! Thanks for posting this. Brings back good memories! 2009 and still kicking ass!
I was at that gig! Smokin'!
Saw them 5 times, once for free at KSU in '76
I was only 12 at that time, but I bought their new album in '83, and I should have made an effort to see them subsequently.
I'm turning 65 in March..J. Giles was in Tampa, FL. Down Town. Warmer Band 4 Humble Pie. It was my very first concert! Been in Love ever Since. Jay Moucha
The other longtime Hall of Fame snub Peter Frampton played at the Hall induction on Friday night.
I saw J Geils in February 1972 with Yes (on their Fragile tour). Stood in the first row, about two feet from the stage. One of the best concerts I ever attended!

I was at that it was like July 10th I saw geils the week before also at the old Schaffer music festival in Central Park great times
Yes! The 70's absolutely the best decade for Rock and I was right in the middle of it all!
I can't believe how long they've been playing live and with such energy
greatest show ,blues rock ,live band ever.what a great setdone here.thanks for upload.love me some j.geils funkiest band in all the land.
NO ONE come even close to this style of jam. THE number 1 band for a real PARTY. RIP J Geils.
Raw and Roll, Rhythm & Blues and Showmen extraordinaire!! RIP Mr Geils!
Thanks so much for posting this amazing show of J Geils ! Still got it after all these rockin' years! Awesome!!!
A delectable taste of what arena rock was all about in the 70s!
The 70's! The best decade of Rock!
This isn't in an arena, but it's awesome!! Arena rock is usually worse. First, because the sound at the venue is bad, and second, because the band is usually unfocused, distracted, and sloppy. I don't hear any sloppy playing at this small venue!! 😊
