Which song does Peter say "Take out your false teeth Momma I want to suck on your gums"? Inquiring minds minds want to know this!

[judecreek2]

I was a teen when I was at the Cobo Hall show that was recorded for "Full House." I do love me some J. Geils.

[windysuisun]

Blast from the past and memories of the listening to the LP "Full House" and these classic songs, and for sure in a depressed 2009-2010 if these guys out there can bring some smiles than I'm all for it. Kudos to my Detroit brothers and SISTERS!

@magee0405 how are they not in the HOF? One of the best live bands ever. just seen em last night in Detroit on 8-19-11 and they never disappoint

[OrigNeedlzSWDetroit]

WOOBA GOOBA! Best live band ever! No makeup, no hairspray and don't need pyrotechnics to awe, just raw energy! Saw them at Pine Knob and COBO a few times in the '80s and a couple nights at DTE in July of '99 after a 17 year hiatus and it was like they never left. Bummed that I missed this show. DETROIT will always be their home away from home. ...YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!!

MC5, thanks for the response. When I saw them in '99, I was talking to a fan who said Bladd has retired to spend more time with his grandkids. Grandkids! Yikes!

Were you at the 7/11 N.J. show? I was, and it was a blast! Woofah Goofah is still in fine form, and Magic Dick is a force on harmonica! They played 2 hours and 10 minutes, and it seemed like 5 minutes.

Nah, I think Seth is pretty much a chrome dome now! Looks as if he shaves his head. It's stylish, especially with the Kangol beret.

[pjaymac]

This is great news to find out that the boys are still performing! I saw them at Saratoga Springs in 1999, and they put on a terrific show! I've been a fan of the band since '82; hope there's a tour this year! Thanks for posting the clips. Seth Justman without hair! Whoa! Is Stephen Bladd still the drummer? He wasn't on the '99 tour.

[MC5Rule]

Stephen Bladd was MIA .....maybe he'll get on board if there are more shows (didn't play at the 7/11 NJ show either). Why do you think Seth has no hair ??

Am pretty sure he does, lol, it's just changed color.

[dmesrey]

Why the FUNK isn't Seth playing a baby grand? He's got the Hammond, for crissakes. Ain't nobody play a goddam PIANO anymore?

[darin123064]

[sdeboz]

We saw THE Saturday night SHOW....I'T WAS GREAT!...........they still kick ASS!!!....THANKS

[sparkyandmaggie]

Thanks, Bro.

[ttraynor1]

Top shelf show--great crowd, great theater. Peter Wolf stayed back after the final of 3 encores and thanked Deetroit for all those years.....I don't think he wanted to leave the stage....I was near the front, but turned around to see the crowd mayhem--how awesome it must of felt to them all to step back in after all those years off just blow the Fillmore UP!

[xxalicecullen]

EXCELLENT CONCERT. i was there on saturday. one of the best concerts i've ever been to. :]

[susea]

The boys are on their way back home! Boston awaits!! :)

[Madeloud68]

Pure energy from the first note to the last. Wolf hasn't lost a step, Magic Dick was on fire, DK was well....DK , J was on the money and I think I saw Seth shed a tear when it was over, I know I did. What a great show, well worth the wait, Thanks for sharing.
