I am 65. Seen them 2 times. One time new orleans. What a show. X bf gave me a harp. I can play whammer jammer. I also got magic rock's auto. What a hoot......
R.I.P. Mr. J. Geils. Your band will live on for ever. Why in the hell are they not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? POLITICS BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest live bands ever, caught in their swan song tour. I got to see them in Bangor one last time on this tour. They just don't make them like this anymore...
Hard driving blues. A hard driven band for many years. RIP Jerome. Nothing like a j geils concert.if you ever saw them and didn't move and participate. You were dead.
was behind magic dick on stage when they played at boston garden with the drummers kid on my lap after getting free tix and free backstage passes and had a beer with magic dick what a legendary band unreal show i'll never 4get it RIP JG

I saw The J Geils Band with Bob Seger in 1980. The World Series of Rock, Cleveland Stadium. Def Lepard, Eddie Money, J Geils and Bob Seger. Killer show.
I got to see them atleast twice in the early 80's & wished that I had seen them in the 70's but wow, what an awesome fun band to see live. A good time is guaranteed for all ! J. Geils Band forever 🥳 ✌️
One of my favorite bands, saw the at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, I play their music often to practice my harmonica. Yea man! Digging it here on vacation in Ensenada. Baja California de Norte de Mexico Summer 2021
Rockin' blues, been a hometown favorite since high school. The old Boston Garden, the Paradise Theater, the Casino Ballroom on Hampton Beach NH, the Frolics on Salisbury Beach MA, Cape Cod Coliseum, Providence Civic Center. I remember 15 years old in the late sixties they had special concert trains out of North Station behind the old Garden, we'd fill those train cars and get them rocking from side to side rolling across the Lynn marsh. The conductor would come in screaming because the engineer had slow the train lol. Kids being kids, could have done worse things.
Magic Dick is the reason I have every key in Harmonicas. When I was young, I used to play whammer Jammer. But I cannot do much now thanks to years of smoking them damn cigs.. Best live band ever. Hell the best band ever. WHY ARE THEY NOT IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME? love Mr. Peter Wolf. He made sure you were not sitting down but up boogying your ass off. Best front man ever.
Saw them at the Cobo Arena in Detroit. They played four encores. Then the lights came on. Nobody left. 10 minutes of noise from 13,000 rabid Motown Geils fans. They came back out with the lights on and played two songs, Peter Wolf said the band ain’t leaving till they turn the lights off again. They turned off the lights again and played two more songs. 12 songs worth encores! Some bands barely play 12 all together! That was the love between Geils and Detroit. Glad I was part of it over ten times. In 84 the sold out Pine Knob, 15,000 outdoor venue 6 or maybe 7 nights in a row.
Geiles is no douht the greatest show you will ever see..I'm going back to the 70s they still can jam.. greatest consert you will ever see .like allot of bands this one you will never forget..hard drive.n man..AL.PAL
I seen these guys back up Humble Pie at the Eastown in Detroit in 1971. Then seen them numerous times after. I thought they were from Detroit for the longest time. I know they sure loved to play there:) Peace
Jimiplayscobo I’m from Boston, the J Geils band made it clear that they had two homes Detroit and Boston :-) those were the cities to love them more than anybody :-)
The very first concert I attended, I was like 17, maybe even 16, Cobo Hall Detroit. I saw them many times afterwards, absolutely the best live show on the planet. I just turned 60 yrs old and Ive seen more bands live than I can remember. And they still stand the test of time as the greatest live show Ive ever seen.
My very first big concert was in the early 70's at the Forum in Los Angeles - opening band was YES, followed by the J.Geils Band and then headliner Ten Years After. Though each band was great, the J. Geils Band blew the other two off the stage. What a night that was!
saw these guys 13 or 14 times,great showband,Peter Wolf,amazing frontman,Concert 10,Poconos,Spectrum in between Slade and Humble Pie and so many other shows
Slade...there's a throwback...did a bunch of their songs early 70s......Live Full House was a seminal album for me...taught me how to play harp really.
Saw them in '74. What a great live band. Peter must've dances for about 90 minutes straight. If there was an opening band I don't remember them. Mr Geils was a completely underated guitar player. Peter and Bryan Ferry are the only ones that can wear shiny suits and be Uber cool.
The Absolutely Most entertaining Band I've EVER seen 7 times Never a disappointment Back in the day they were called dance concerts and the tickets were on Average $7.00
@@lousasso1432 I see what you are saying, it happens to many bands that go for success, for some it's a sell out, for some, hey, shit happens. But this video shows how good they still were. ( you know, play the old stuff ;)
Really happy to find this ! Still have all the hey day Geils on lp; to this day cant find ladies invited on cd. But never saw them live. Closest was JG & MD at Tramps nyc early 90s. Also saw Albert Collins, who coincidentally wrote SnoCone, at Tramps several times.
Was like 15 first time I saw J Giels at the Coliseum. Loudest, roudiest kickass band ever! Saw Mr Wolf at Fenway, and Payomet recently. Still rocking! Wonder why MD isn't around? Best blues harmonicist. Peter still rocks and moves the crowd. J Giels, what a great guitarist! Concerts were louder than the 8 track at full volume! Thank you for the inspiration. Think I'll pick up my guitar tonight. Love your music. Best Boston band ever. TY!
"Got me a Train Outta Texas, Took it up to Montreal" Yup..He and the band really did! Saw them here ?73? at Place des Nations (old Expo '67) Friend had one of those full head with actual ears mics and recorded the whole show..We just mostly listened..Unforgettable..
I saw them in Seattle at the Paramount Theater a couple of times. (I also saw them at the Kingdome as the first band for a 3 band night.) It was Peter Wolf's birthday and a bunch of people in the crowd had a big banner for him. Did you know he was married to Faye Dunaway the Hollywood star? Anyway they were one of the best live bands I ever saw though certainly not the biggest or best known either. Oh those were the days!!
I had many Geils LP's ! I'd get invited to house party's just to play Geils , we'd play warmer jammer at least 10-20 times ! When Joplin coined the PHRASE: FULL TILT BOOGIE WOOGIE, SHE WAS DREAMING OF GEILES AND MAGIC, AND WOLFE AND CREW !!!!!!
Kind of sad that the Seventies Era went by so fast sooo many just crashed n burned not so straight right on into the Eighties . Looking back now I for one could not fathom then in retrospect just how damned great those times were . For those who weren’t well ya just had to be there .
I seen this show. They played in Albany NY and only got 45 of stage time. I went to see them not Bob fat ass Seger. They upstaged Seger without tryin. I mean, about 1/3 of the Audience left after J.Geils Band were over. And, not because they were old. Peter Wolf was on point. Song to song. Nonstop. Always loved them from, eh, 1973. Saw them a few times. Great stuff.
I was there and have the t-shirt to prove it! It was my divorce present from my uncle. I ended up making out with some chick because I got good and drunk. Seger was charging $13 bucks a beer. Thorogood is way cheaper at $5 bucks A beer
Saw them in 82 at PINE KNOB MUSIC THEATER. That concert produced the album SHOWTIME!. I can point out my (late ☹️) friend J.J. screaming in the audience on it. RINGO sez-✌️❤️
A Boston band sounding like they're from the south side of Detroit. Kinda like Creedence Clearwater Revival sounding like they came out of the swamps of Louisiana. Strange bedfellows, ain't it?

I wish I could have attended one of their concerts at Cobo Hall.

Best live band!!! Lots of good times listening to this music back in the 70’s and they sound great today!!! Way to go bad boys from Boston!!!
Sorry to disagree Bob Seger live bullet!

Peter and Bryan Ferry are the only ones that can wear shiny suits and be Uber cool.
I saw them in 1981 when they and George Thorogood opened up for the Rolling Stones in San Diego. Three great bands, what a show.
I saw them open for Framton, who do you think I went to see?, and who do you think got blown off the stage
The Absolutely Most entertaining Band I've EVER seen 7 times Never a disappointment Back in the day they were called dance concerts and the tickets were on Average $7.00
Wait, this guy (Peter Wolf) is 68 here... ?Amazing ! God Bless these guys!
I was there. Love them both. HAD to do it!
I LOVE the sound of Tom Areys drums!
what they should be remembered for is that they were a great rockin' Blues band, not that centerfold, love stinks crap..... RIP J.
Now you just said what I no..they were great back when we were young
Too right!

Rocking blues band ok, but songs as Centerfold, Love Stinks, I do and Freeze frame are fantastic. Centerfold is da best song ever.
@@angelogloudemans9641 LOL, well, to each his own, party on Garth :v
Lucky to see them in the early 80’s. They tried to kill me. Exhausting. They wouldn’t let you rest.

Harmonica player has the best nickname in the history of nicknames.
you should see it ,,, john holmes has nothing on the magic man .. like wow
us girls know omg
Best live shows seen many studio to live sounds the same lot of big names don't sound the same live Best live show band!!
Im exhausted just listening to them rock!
they should be in the hall of fame
Saw them 4 times. Nothing like them
They should be in hall of fame.
You should all go see Peter Wolf & The Midnight Travelers!
Oh, yes!!!!
Outstanding!!!
They had the Walls Shaking that Night!!!!!😂😮❤
sad day but im havin afew pbrs and rembering all those times i saw these rock syracuse war mem cray cray

Wow,I'm 60 years old and I lived in Ct.all my life and never heard of Dillon stadium, whee in Hartford is that?
I was there! Didn't sit all night!
I love seeing them onstage again but the J Geils Band without J Geils seems a little strange.
Was j geils playing here?
I had many Geils LP's ! I'd get invited to house party's just to play Geils , we'd play warmer jammer at least 10-20 times ! When Joplin coined the PHRASE: FULL TILT BOOGIE WOOGIE, SHE WAS DREAMING OF GEILES AND MAGIC, AND WOLFE AND CREW !!!!!!

for 70 year old dudes this is far better rocking out than those other 70 year old guys whose band name rhymes with "the rolling stones".
Because these guys are the quintessential bar band who made it big but never lost the raw energy of the early years.
The Ramones?

2022🤗🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Never saw a bad J GEILS BAND show, and that is about 15 times
Music Heaven
Best live band ever!!!!!
No,Ozzie was better Live.
REALLY MAGIC !!!
And DUKE! And Tom Arey! Just listen! The Midnight Travelers are the BEST!
Justman also produced many albums for various artists, most notably Debbie Harry.
Who's the second guitarist in the back?
South side baby!!
F'n Seth!! Outstanding!
First instrumental is Snow Cone
The greatest live band I've ever seen, and I've seen them all since 1976. Still think that Wolf is the best frontman in Rock history.
Your Rocking with Uncle Bob Seger so Rock On
How on earth do the Go Gos enter rock n roll Hall of Fame ahead of J.Giles band? The sign of a very wrong managment....

❤ about time someone mentioned the great Duke Levine, thank you 😊
Tom 's drums are the best!!
i agree 100%. What's his last name???. Great timekeeper and all the dynamics too.
love it
Magic is great!
What the hell does the rock of fame know ,jack shit ,add little feat to that list to
It's 1966 in here!
I was there and have the t-shirt to prove it! It was my divorce present from my uncle. I ended up making out with some chick because I got good and drunk. Seger was charging $13 bucks a beer. Thorogood is way cheaper at $5 bucks A beer
Great Drummer
Then Hard Drivin Man OOOH Yea
get it on
I wish mine was magic.
anyone the the drummer's name?
is that jerry dale?
Saw them in 82 at PINE KNOB MUSIC THEATER.
That concert produced the album SHOWTIME!.
I can point out my (late ☹️) friend J.J. screaming in the audience on it.
RINGO sez-✌️❤️
get these guys in the HOF! for christ sake!
LOOK EVERYBODY!!!!!!!! It's Howard Stern!!!!!
VT_Dave
John is dead, and Peter is still crazy

Sno cone? That's a new one. :p
dnatz58 yes sno cone it rocks...hard drivin man has lyrics
If you want to hear someone who really can play the harmonica check out the Mad Beach band. Florida stomp
should be snocne - hard driving man. still rockin stong though.most under appeciated band ever.
The Incomparable J Geils Band!!!!!!
A Boston band sounding like they're from the south side of Detroit. Kinda like Creedence Clearwater Revival sounding like they came out of the swamps of Louisiana. Strange bedfellows, ain't it?
FULL HOUSE IS THEIR BEST
Good Lawd Woofa Goofa Man!
