Have a look at my reply to another comment made 2 years ago. You will have to choose view all comments or go to page 2 of comments.

Hopefully you like our take on the J. Geils version.

He could have said "1971" as this track featured on "The J.Geils Band" the debut album recorded pretty much live in the studio- recorded and mixed in 18 hours. "Full House" however, gives you the real excitement of these guys- I was lucky enough to see them twice!

[drewp66]

I was only lucky enough to see them once. Ironically, a very young "U2" was the opening act. Talk about a killer show!

Thanks for watching the video. While we're nothing close to J. Geils we have a blast playing it.

1974....no sir! This was around at least since 1972 if not before. Recorded Live at the Cinderella Ballroom, Detroit MI, 1972.

The original song was done by The Contours in the 60s.

You are right that J. Geils released Full House in 1972. He meant to say 72 but made a mistake. That happens sometimes. Hopefully you liked the video.

yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa first i look at the purse. Reminds me of high school in the 70's.Money I want money M O N E Y money

As a teenager in the 1970's I liked J. Geils too (of course) as "Full House" was one of the great Albums of that decade.

I was at the show last night at the House Of Blues and it was an incredibly great show.Ive baan playing myself for 30 years so IM not easily pleased.The person who commented obviously wasnt there. Hes Just another fool with a meaningless opinion

rokknjonz.....where you get your info, where you at the Geils show last night? I hear the complete opposite from people that were there.

[rokknjonz]

The J Geils Band did a show at the newly reopened House of Blues in Boston last night, and man, they should have stayed retired.

J Geils actually did a cover of a song that came out in the late 1950s of FIRST I LOOK AT THE PURSE. I have the sheet music here for the original and will post.

This is pretty good. The band is tight. The singer, although not bad, makes the common cover band mistake of trying to imitate the original singer. You are always better off singing it how you sing rather than trying to cop someone else's style, especially someone with a voice as unique as Peter Wolf.

This is a very decent cover of J. Geils...thank you for posting.
