I've been to over 300 concerts . J Geils band are easily one of the top 5 live bands I ever saw and Peter is a big reason why. Saw them at The Paramount in Seattle in '80 on the Sanctuary tour.
Agreed. I saw them come out for four or five separate encores at Madison Square Garden. The last one when the ligjhts came on and people were starting to leave.
Saw Peter outperform Mick Jagger at the King Dome in the eighties. Totally blew the Stones away. I had seen them before, but that night, Mr Wolf showed the world who was the hippest frontman!!!😉😎
@@michaelfogarty826 remind me wheres Akron , Missurri ?. im in Canada . never saw o riginal Geils live but used to Blow PEOPLES fACE off OFF Playing All their early stuff at Partys . saw Blues Time tho , / j geils n Majic Dick on accoustic Harp .in st Stephen ---- Maine . it was Cool.round 92 ? . they as cool as the doors but on the Blues Rock level not the Psyhcedelic level in INTENSITY . IM GONNA GET a freaken tatoo . Whammea Jamma , leMME hEAR YA Baaabbyy .
I seen the J. Geils band back in 72 at the Eastown in Detroit. They backed up Humble Pie. What a great concert!!! J Geils loved Detroit and played there so much I always thought they were a local band. Years later I found out they were from Boston. :-) Peace
I saw the great J. Geils Band at Winterland in San Francisco. They did two encores and finally Peter said "We don't know anymore songs so we are going to do Truck Drivin' Man again and leave" It was more a party than a concert.
They were just the coolest band. Good times the early 70’s were. Full House never left the turntable. Never got down on them for going commercial. How could I? How many nights I partied with my friends listening to Peter and the boys. He sounds as good as he did 50 years ago. Thanks for this post.🎸✌️☮️
THEY HAD A SMALL Commercial edge ,but if u listen to it now ,they were still a shit kicken soul / blues band at the core .and with Wolf ON THE MIKE, u know things are gonna Rock .
World Series of Rock concert at old Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, June 14, 1975. Joe Vitale's Madmen, Tower of Power, J. Geils Band, the Rolling Stones. Peter was on fire; he's two years older than I.
I was very fortunate to see Peter Wolf performing with Kid Rock here in Michigan a few years ago...he can really light it up. Father Time has certainly stopped for him.......the J. Geils Band should be in the Rock & Roll HOF.
And to think, I was LUCKY enough to catch this Mayhem inducing, jaw dropping, Electrifying, spine tingling, Inspirational, Educational, Pioneer of Rock-n-Roll Legend, at the Ripe age of 14 back in 1973! I Fell in Love at FIRST SIGHT! Took my breath away with the energy and spontaneity FEW Live performers could EVER EVER duplicate, let alone attempt!!! Peter was only 27 yrs old in 1973, I was 14. Just IMAGINE what this Man could do back then!!!! I sure was LUCKY, cause film footage of that 27 yr old WOOFA GOOFA, just doesn't exist!!! My mind holds some footage, and it is PRICELESS! Thank you for this video. Solid Peter in Great Form of Today!
Peter Wolf is still killing it. I saw J. Geils Band as one of the opening acts for the Rolling Stones, early 80s at L.A. Coliseum. Opening act Prince was pummeled by cups and even a bottle by a mostly Rock n Roll audience there to see J. Geils, George Thorogood, and the Stones. Epic.
All throughout hogh school The J Geils Band was huge. They came to play a the Cape Cod Coliseum all the time. Does anybody else out there roemember The Coliseum. What memories, good times!
One of the most underrated front men ever. Giels was great, but wolf's solo stuff is so impressive. The guy is a rock and roll guru. Seen him many, many times and hope to see many more.
I'm not sure how underrated he is. Reading music forums, he's frequently said to be up there with Mick Jagger as great bluesman. front rocking bluesmen.
@@jeffbellin8224 Why is he not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ? (not that the HOF is a true measure of talent or success). Jagger and Richards have played on some of his solo stuff and J. Geils back up the Stones early in their career. Musicians and People who still follow rock music understand how good he is, but the common person in the street has no idea. Petty backed up J.Geils early in his career and returned the favor for some shows on his final tour. I'll give credit to the Stones for talent and still being active at this stage in their lives, but they got a huge PR machine.
Such a shame the band broke up many years ago. I was lucky enough to see them live twice. Just an incredible live band. Thanks for posting this video. Love he sang Just can’t wait!
Oh yeah, seeing Peter Wolf sing today is just what the doctor ordered!! He sounds and looks great too. Tom Bukovac on guitar too? Love it! Full House, what an album!! Appreciate you posting this!
Full house and Blow Your Face Out 2 of the best live albums of all time Was lucky to see final show in the Boston Garden also he played with the Boss in same venue. Goes out with Bruce when he's in town 6:41 performing or visiting daughter at BU 6:20
Never been much of a PW fan, except he delivered the best intro I've ever heard for Van Morrison at the Bottom Line on November 01, 1978; "Star time, show time ~ are you ready?!!!", etc.
J.Geils was always a great show, saw them for the first time at the Calderone theater on L.I. N.Y in the late 70's. I was about 15 years old and I was with a big crowd of friends from my small town where I grew up. It was about 20 ppl and when the lights went out we all ran down to the front row, we were like gang that now one messed with. Then saw them probably another 10 times or so. On one of there biggest tours for the Freeze Frame album I got to see them again front row at Madison Square Garden this time me and some friends bought 3rd row seats but ended up with our arms on the stage. Then they broke up. Saw Peter Wolf in a small venue doing his solo gig he just came out with Lights Out album. Very underrated front man.
Peter is 77 years old and hes still got it! He sounds great. I remember seeing J. GEILS in the early years at the Frolics in Salisbury Beach, Mass. He sounds just as good today
" Hard Driven Man " Was a favorite at The Woodrose Ball Room in the 70's. I have a lot of memories of Peter Wolf and The J Geils Band. Saw them several times in New England. Peter is still a Rocker and always will be a Rocker.
It might have slipped some minds, others too young to know, but herein is a mandatory education or reminder of just how wild and funky this legend was &, not surprisingly, STILL IS! Amen!
they were one of the best , but just down the mountain there was lots of good rippin bands . musical standards were higher in the 70 s and heres proff . + Stones , Doors , ALLMANS ,bEATLES , fffFloyd . SAbbath ,jJanis , Dead , Winter Bros . Jimi , Who ,PURPLE . ETC . etc . etc ..!!
Full house and bloodshot are my favorites ... never forget seeing j geils on network morning show. Didn't play MTV, played full house to yuppie audience. Thank you very much, Ol'school fan 😎✊ PS Danny Klein on bass! Where's magic dick?
@@giveitathink6749 Yeah, had special seats directly behind and to the side of the stage. Very close. I remember Peter jumpin and he never stopped moving. And remember a bit about Mr. Jeff Beck.
Peter is 77 years old - unbelievable energy & talent!
Jesus! I had heard that he died. Glad I just might get a chance to see him perform. J Geils Band is awesome.
@@renoraider9817 J Geils died a few years back.
if you look after yur vessel : aGE Is A State of Mind . Blues Rockin Dont Hurt .
OK. I always just thought it was the name of the band. Thanks for the information.@@jimiplayscobo5877
Was thinking I saw him as a high schooler in 1979…and somehow he looks younger than me now.

@@peterbetts858 absolutely agree. 100%
I will never forget the J Geils band ❤ he's so full of energy ❤
Where did you see them ?? I'm fry Akron and gotta tell you they're the ultimate party band ?!!!!!
"He" died 6 years ago.
@@michaelfogarty826I saw them in 78 in Tampa OMG! I'll never forget that show
Most of the band went to Brookline High The only band that could follow them at The Boston Tea party was the original Fleetwood Mac

Peter Wolf .Enough said . Thier will never be another like him
The mighty J.Geils Band live from Cobo arena NEVER hall. Great times!!!
He's still an absolutely electrifying performer!!! ROCK ON!!!!💛💚
Peter's still got it…… his voice and command of the stage is still intact!
The band should be in the HOF!!!
Glad to see Peter Wolf still Rockin.
the wolf still brings it better than anyone else, belongs in the hall of fame NOW
hall of SHAME
@@charliewhite1946 Exactly; quit promoting that piece of crap. Forget them.
Even though the "Rock n Roll" hall of fame is a joke on many levels? Mr. Wolf belongs in the section that is actually relevant.
@@alphasonja4966 I totally hear you on that! Respect for Mr. Wolf---in the relevant section!
One of the greatest concerts I ever saw... many, many, many years ago.. The J. Geils Band!
Many Many years
"I Musta Got Lost' pure rock and roll at it's finest! ❤😅
Seen them a half dozen times and they never let you down, they were one great live act.
Blow your face out is best live album ever..😊
@@hoksane Live Full House ain't far behind
Yep at the toledo smoke arena
The greatest American bard bad evah

Wow, that sounds like an incredible lineup. Humble pie could really take it to another level as well.
You heard about the Detroit demolition?!
@@jamesmack3314 Steve Marriot and Peter Wolf were or are some of the best front men for sure.
@@jimiplayscobo5877 for sure
I’m 59, from Massachusetts..I never saw Geils. Thank god for TH-cam!!
You were a little kid when they played in MA a lot, before they got big.

OMG! Peter is still rocking after all these years! Going to check the tour schedule now.
World Series of Rock concert at old Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, June 14, 1975. Joe Vitale's Madmen, Tower of Power, J. Geils Band, the Rolling Stones. Peter was on fire; he's two years older than I.
That concert is the greatest outdoor concert I ever saw , included in that line up was Billy Preston on the Stone's keyboards
Woohoo from Ventura CA 🎉
Living a half an hour south of Worcester J.Geils was part of the landscape growing up, Peter always had the energy and amazingly still has a lot left.
Saw them at least 10 times in NYC> The Filmore East, Central Park, The acadamy of music the blew the house down every nite.
Saw in Central Park 1976 but also 12 other times one of the greatest live bands ever
One of the greatest singers in rock.
I have terminal lung cancer. I would love to play harp with them. What a dream that would be. I hope my lungs hold out!
Play on bro!
Get your records out and play. Stop waiting.
@@tod3msn , i do. FULL HOUSE is in the turn table but need back up for WHAMMER JAMMER etc.
I was very fortunate to see Peter Wolf performing with Kid Rock here in Michigan a few years ago...he can really light it up. Father Time has certainly stopped for him.......the J. Geils Band should be in the Rock & Roll HOF.
PW is terrific, Kid Rock is an imbecile.
Great as ever!

This is 2023 and this man is rockin and rollin like it’s 1973!!!!! He’s the BEST and always will be!!!
My favorite Detroit band from Boston.
Bring back memories, Full House was our soundtrack for a house party. We loved them in Michigan, Detroit was there second home.
Great show Wolf
Duke Levine on chicken pickin' axe, Mike Mills of R.E.M. on bass, Kenny Wayne Shepherd on guitar, the GREAT Kenny Aaronoff on the drumkit!
And Uncle Larry leading the pack.
@@vdub1959 Uncle Larry bringin' the heat!
Kenny is so lucky he plays with the best of them.

AND Mike Wanchic!!!!
I remember being in the 8th grade and this playing on the bus ride to school ever day for a year.

Peter and The J. Geils Band created a lot of great music in America. Great music and great time growing up in America.
Great recording! Thanks for doing it!
Mr. Wolf can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best front men in rock n roll!
I’m practically crying
saw him in Denver 1972 opening for West Bruce and Laing.He still has it goin on.
I remember being glad when J Giles Band finally got a big hit record!
I still love "No Anchovies Please"!!!
First heard that on Dr. Demento.
One of the most underrated front men ever. Giels was great, but wolf's solo stuff is so impressive. The guy is a rock and roll guru. Seen him many, many times and hope to see many more.
Underrated is one of the most underrated words.

There's the one and only Buk! (Uncle Larry- Home Skoolin'), just left of the Bass on lead Tele!
The Wolf is still howlin’.
Man I wish they’d put this show in TOUR!!…great songs 🤘
Never been much of a PW fan, except he delivered the best intro I've ever heard for Van Morrison at the Bottom Line on November 01, 1978; "Star time, show time ~ are you ready?!!!", etc.
Still got the front man charisma and delivery. One of the GREATS!
Peter was a god whenever Geils came to Detroit. The man looks incredible.
Yeah Peter! I was lucky enough to work with him on the album FreezeFrame. He loved me!!!
Of course you did! Hi Steve!
Peter Wolf belongs in rock hall of fame but you know what? He'll never be in a museum. Too hot for that.
Thx for shooting this, great job holding it steady for the whole set.
Message I get from this is get thin, over any other priority in life.
At 77yrs old and still gettin it done 🤘🤙
77 is young... serious.

One of the best shows i have attended!
Unckle Larry playes the guitar!!!!
Peter was just as bog or not bigger than Mick Jagger in my hometown. 1977-1989, J. Geils ruled Batavia, Illinois!
I about wore out Full House on 8 track!
That Hass to be the great Nashville ace, Tom Bukovac on the cream telly
Hope I can move like that when I'm 77 !
Only Mick Jagger can far as I know
Awesome stuff! Wolf just nails it as good as 40 years ago. Would like to have seen Dickey though 😎
He's doing great for his age!
Peter brings the party wherever he goes!
