The Most Rockin J Geils Band concert at Boston's Orpheum Theater - 3 Sony AVC 3200 B&W cameras and an SEG 1 - terrible technology but driving music - They asked George Wardwell if we could record this - Charles Phillips, Andrika Donovan operated cameras and I switched. Peter Gowan and Barry Ober engineered sound - there's a one inch master somewhere, but this clip is from the 1/2" transfered by video guru Paul Beck - levels are wild, someday we'll edit & fix - but 4 now, watch Peter pummel Magic Dick - this rocks!

  • you may hear it that way, but most of us - audio & video techs - were as just busy keeping the crowd from climbing over us to get to the band - crazy baby - as trying to get the sound and picture right. Listen to Peter about 'some people over here' and it's a cue to Jesse of Dave to leave the board and bail out a problem - Back then there was no separate f.o.h. mixer or anything more than a basic board and a pair of speaker stacks - mono - and two roadies to make it happen ....

  • Mindboggling great show "Full House" era.

    Kids, watch this. This is the way it's supposed to be done...

  • Hard to believe this is 38 years ago. I saw them last night and they still ROCK! I second the notion - Best live band ever.

  • @72musicman72 - Apart from the fact that he was born & raised in the Bronx, NY.

  • Brings back fond memories from my teenage years, remember when I purchased "Full House", best live album ever IMO. Rock on!

  • I am an old fucker, I saw J. Geils in 1972 in Grade 10 but I digress, before Aerosmith came along J. Geils was THE American band, they OWNED IT !!! although this rendition kinda' sucks the version of Floyd's Hotel on "The Morning After" contains the best biting harp articulation I have ever heard to this day, like the other viewer commented " this is the way it's supposed to be done kid's" let the hate mail begin ....

  • peter wolf just another great product of detroit
