Fall 1971. My new girlfriend dragged me to a J geils blues band concert in the gym at WPI college in MA. Never heard of these guys before and I thought I new a lot about music. Well, they absolutely blew me away. Saw then many times after. Best live band ever. And by the way, I married that girl and still am married to her 40 years later.

Saw them in summer 73 at an old roller rink in Elizabeth,N.J. called the Twin City Ballroom. No seats just standing room only. Peter Frampton opened...then Black Oak Arkansas came up with the lead singers ass cheeks hanging out his pants...not a turn on ...then JGB doing whole Full House Live album and Blood Shot Album...people blowing whistles ...ticket price $7.50 and stood 30ft. from stage. Those were the days... 70s was best decade for Hard Rock and Metal concerts

Four Leslie cabinets, too, behind the keyboard player. The poor roadies...

I'm from Detroit. If you guys don't know, we've had our share of killer bands come out of our fair city. Too many to mention. All I can say after viewing this video, is, wow. Wow, man, fucking WOW !

@chernand58 Thanks for the comment! Appreciate the response, very nice. Great to hear someone in the music industry shares my views. No way have I seen as many bands as you, but I've seem my share. I'm 61, never too old to rock, and the first concert I saw were the Beatles (yes, it's true) at Suffolk Downs race track in Boston August 1966. John Geils still playing occasionally at very small venues and coffee houses in greater Boston with friends.

@townie51 Ah great story..glad about the same gal..40 yrs later. So I saw J.Geils in LA where I'm from..1973 for the 1st time..I was 13yrs old. Went on to see them all over the country and more. I worked in the music industry many years and still my fav live band and more today. I've literally seen at least 500 hundred bands live or more. Saw Peter last year solo . He still rocks but miss those 70's shows with the whole band. Damn Hall of Fame put JGB in there

@HABILUSJIM Thanks for the comment! I'm 60 years old and from 1966 to 1986 I've seem them all from the Beatles (yes, the Beatles) to Stones to Hendrix and in my humble opinion because everything is subjective the only LIVE band that came close to J Geils were the Ramones who I saw 3 times in their prime, '79 and 80. Rock on my friend!
