True that!!! I saw them four times--with Yes and Ten Years After in '71, with the Steve Miller Band in '72, with the Eagles in '73,--and I don't remember who with the fourth time ('74 or '75). An excellent live act always!!!
The body dies but the music lives on. And if you believe in a soul or even an energy inside of us, he lived on too, just the body went away. And heck, we got this.
So many drunken/stoned teenage, playing hooky afternoons listening to 'Full House' One of the grooviest bands of all time. East Vancouver loves these guys!!
Truly Amazing. Peter Quarterbacking the talent with audibles. Frontman is ONITJACK ! .Madman on the keys ~ scary night at this opera...gonna need a piano tuner when he's done....worrrd! Great live footage. This band was ACES Jack !
R.I.P. John Warren Geils Jr. you will be sadly missed your band defined my teenage years. I am sure you are rockin' out in Heaven with all the great ones.
Peggy, had the pleasure of talking with J after a gig up here in Ellsworth Maine a few yrs back..he was still really excited about playing & he'd talk to even crappy guitar players like me; what a great guy he was!
ManyThanx!!!! I’m 62 Years old Saw Them 5x in the 70s Greatest Live Show EVER!!! Miss them So Much!!! Nothing Comes Close!! ManyThanx From Costa Mesa Ca!!!!
I think I saw this on late night TV as a young Teen: The Next Day I had my first copy of Full House! Three Copies later it still get played regularly, one of the best live albums ever recorded.
Worlds greatest my brother thank you so much for posting this these boys kick some serious butt I saw him five times back in the 70s and they will always be in our hearts thank you from Costa Mesa California my brother we love you
A year after this I was taking a leak during a break in action at an outdoor show in Portsmouth, Virginia,when who should walk in and acquire the urinal next to me ,but,John Lee Hooker himself! He took my tributes in stride, a real iconoclast.
Grew up on these boys in my early teenage years was never disappointed live they were way too much over the top when I heard Jay kicked it I actually shed a tear rest in peace Mane
I saw them AT LEAST 10 times in the early/mid-70's. WHAT A SHOW they put on EVERY time. Wow. Fun finding these videos! Was afraid this era was lost . . . . .
For the longest time it was like you could only get a few snippets from their Fillmore shows. All of this content is rather mind-blowing to see it in such volume
Can't day how many times I've seen them. At least 20 times.Just saw Peter wolf a few months ago in Salisbury Beach, mass and still the ultimate front man. Keep on rocking Peter. Thanks for the upload.
Saw them many times!! One time they did 2 concerts in Detroit, it was right around the Christmas holidays...1st one edgar winter warmed up ,2nd one Johnny winter warmed up,saw them both..cobo hall baby!!
In 1972 Peter wolf and the J Giles band played in Wilmington Delaware at the Armory, I was 19 and it was the only time they ever played in Del with King Crimson 51 yrs ago
I saw them in 73 - or was it 74? Anyway it was at Clemson SC and they were awesome! One of the top 5 best concerts I have ever seen and I've seen some good ones. Great footage. Bands like them don't happen anymore.
My dear friends that Hass to be the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll song I have ever heard in my life I saw them play it live and it blew me out of the water and I will never forget it thank you so much Costa Mesa California
Anyone who owns Full House Album CD hold on to it. They have become valuable. There is not much footage either like this floating around. J. Giles a Boston based band became Detroits house band
One hell of a document! A strong case could and can be made that for a couple years this band was the best touring rock band. For a brief period around this time Faces we’re a hell of a band too.
@@danwhyte3524 I saw them in Vancouver in early 73. The Full House, and Bloodshot tour. 3 encores . Front and center. Truly rock and roll at its finest. Thanks have a great day 😊
@@wayneburton8168 yeah Wayne the first time I saw them was 76 in Buffalo Rich Stadium it was August 20th hot as hell 80000 people, they blew everybody away the best band they're by far got called back for two encores were called back for more but they couldn't come out of course, been favourite band since 73!! Absolutely the best you have a good day too!!
The greatest live albums are Full House, the Who Live at Leeds, Allman Brothers at the Fillmore, Grateful Dead Europe ‘72, Woodstock, Lou Reed’s live version of Sweet Jane with the two guitarist!
great video by agreat est live band ever seen them also over adozen times hall of shame dont deserve them because their better than them love the post thankyouuuu
Full House was one of my favorite Live Albums when I was in High School.
Thanks to whoever recorded this and thanks to whoever put it online the j geils Band is the most under-appreciated band in the history of the world
Rolling Stone awarded Full House the best party album of the decade. For once I agree with them.
When you saw these guys live, you got your money's worth. They tore it up.
NICE
True that!!! I saw them four times--with Yes and Ten Years After in '71, with the Steve Miller Band in '72, with the Eagles in '73,--and I don't remember who with the fourth time ('74 or '75). An excellent live act always!!!
@@BruceMcKinley opened for the stones once also. Smoking
I saw them in 1973. Then 2012. It was unreal. Like a time machine. Sounded the same
Fo Sho!
Full House and Blow Your Face out are still 2 of my favorite live albums of all time!
Pete Wolf has to be the greatest Rock and Roll front man ever. One of the best live acts ever as well. RIP J Geils.
He rapped long before it was invented
The body dies but the music lives on. And if you believe in a soul or even an energy inside of us, he lived on too, just the body went away. And heck, we got this.
Seen them around 78 cobo hall wolf jumping all over the stage energetic as hell
When I was in junior high 1973 my big brother took me to see Johnny Winter with opening acts J geils Band and Foghat never forget it the good old days
In their prime...so important to have this footage. J Geils killing it
Bob,
This footage is UNBELIEVABLE! America's greatest live band EVER.
Thank you and where is the rest of it?!?!
So many drunken/stoned teenage, playing hooky afternoons listening to 'Full House'
One of the grooviest bands of all time. East Vancouver loves these guys!!
Still going on.
All the way down to Florida! We did the same thing.. I can recall nearly every lyric. "And on the licking stick Mister Magic Dick"!!
Was at the concert in baton Rouge Louisiana when they announced lynnrd skynnyrd had crashed and then they went on to give an awesome performance.
Good Drinkin' Album.
Truly Amazing. Peter Quarterbacking the talent with audibles. Frontman is ONITJACK !
.Madman on the keys ~ scary night at this opera...gonna need a piano tuner when he's done....worrrd!
Great live footage. This band was ACES Jack !
R.I.P. John Warren Geils Jr. you will be sadly missed your band defined my teenage years. I am sure you are rockin' out in Heaven with all the great ones.
Peggy Gleichman Bravo ⚘🕊music lives forever 🎵🎶🎵🎶i was there then, still listening now St Patrick's Day 2020.
Peggy, had the pleasure of talking with J after a gig up here in Ellsworth Maine a few yrs back..he was still really excited about playing & he'd talk to even crappy guitar players like me; what a great guy he was!

My go to party band back in the day. Magic Dick my inspiration to play harmonica to this day. Love his style.
These guys could rock your socks off I love them
Discovered this J Geils band going to a bull riding in Houston, TX in 1977
The music of my generation.
Sadly, on April 11, 2017, we lost John Warren (J.) Geils Jr. May he rest in peace.
Great Phenomenal Sensational Awesome One of the Best Bands
I saw Them live in 1982 in Vienna Austria!!
R.I.P. J. Geils
Saw this band Dillion stadium Hartford CT 73. Won of the best shows I ever saw
Seth Justman's Hammond is fan-tastic. 🎹
OHHHHH YEEEEEAH The Bad Boys from Boston, Rock n Roll Baby, If All Night Its All Right.
RIP "J"
A little bit later but not in front of the crowd. "Priceless"
Serve your right baby! This is R&R music.
One mighty Band......Wolf, what a frontman. They could not be beat live. Alway delivered.
I first saw them in 1970. The Boston Garden. The line-up was J Geils, Cactus, Jimi Hendrix. Not a bad show.
WOW!!!! DO YOU STILL HAVE TICKET STUB? DID YOU GO TO WOODSTOCK TOO??
I was10 years old. My older guitar playing, brother took me. Seats were in the six row. Crazy loud.
it was my first concert.
Fantastic ! Never seen this video before, thanks for posting, the original, and best, J Geils Band !
Seen these guys in 76. Still my favorite show!
I saw them in 73 - or was it 74? Anyway it was at Clemson SC and they were awesome! One of the top 5 best concerts I have ever seen and I've seen some good ones. Great footage. Bands like them don't happen anymore.
JGeils, Mountain, Bloodrock, Deep Purple. I miss those hard rockin' bands from back in the whose keyboard player had an organ
My dear friends that Hass to be the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll song I have ever heard in my life I saw them play it live and it blew me out of the water and I will never forget it thank you so much Costa Mesa California
That's low down dirty BLUES.. Southside Chicago Baby... Like Muddy Waters said "the blues had a baby and they named it Rock & Roll"
For anyone not familiar with JGB this is what they should see/hear. Not that Centerfold, Love Stinks crap that came in the "80s!
The best live band of all time!
flying V bass, just a awesome vid, thanks for the post!
I only saw them once but it was June 1971, closing night public late show at the Fillmore East..nuff said
totally forgotten mAjor band Damn shame
RIP J. Geils
This is a precious gem.
One of the best bands ever. 🖤
Simply the best of Jeils....
Anyone who owns Full House Album CD hold on to it. They have become valuable. There is not much footage either like this floating around. J. Giles a Boston based band became Detroits house band
How about on vinyl? It's not in great condition, but is playable. One of the 1st records I ever bought.
