This song is one of the hands down best jams ever. My neighbors loved this awesome tune so much that they threw a rock through my window to hear it better!!!
@@janjustice3882I just turned 66 and I remember the chicks loved Nazareth for that song "Hair Of The Dog!" You give them some Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill and put that album on, you were set!
This will always be one of my all-time favorite songs. I can't understand why it has been forgotten by most. It's the quintessential party song. Not only is it the perfect funky groove, it's also an intense rocker, with everyone taking a blistering solo. I LOVE THIS SONG!
It is a blistering perfect party jam...sweetest killer groove by the mighty J. Geils Band!! One of my favorites. My friend Maureen and I had a J Geils tape that we partied to all the time in High School. Best music. They came from loving the Blues n R n B n Soul n Rock n they put it all together so right!!
JOHN WARREN GEILS JR . (November 20 ,1946 - April 11, 2017 ) was known in the music world as J. GEILS and died at age 71 . RIP J. GEILS - you are missed but your music lives on !
A folk singer, Cat Stevens, and a band from Cleveland who had one hit, The Outsiders, are in the rock and roll hall of fame, but the J.Geils band isn't, what a joke.
Mark Burnett Best frickin party band ever. Wncx in Cleveland used to have a Saturday night show and they played alotta J Geils.... where I'm at in upstate ny now they play the older stuff too
MrTheHillfolk I'm from Detroit and we used to see them at Cobo Hall in the spring...see them in the summer at Pine Knob and see 'em again at Cobo Hall in October. What a great party band!! I'm so lucky that I saw them over 8 times..crazy stoned ass times. Yeah!!✌💜
How in the hell are Diana Ross and the Supremes, and Gladys Knight and the pips in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame? But not J Geils? It’s a goddamn shame.
They we're Freakin' Awesome In yur Face No Bullshit Live Band....yeah i saw 'em in Concert!!! & Got a few Albums/ Cassettes Still enjoy 'em NOW( as i'm sure as u Do!!!❤🎉😂
Green Infrastructure Buffalo NY Buffalo NY ...Real artists are more concerned with their ART and wanting to present their art in the best way they can. Commercialism can be nice, but robs the TRUE ART form.
Like listening to a Robin Trower song and not knowing bassist James Dewar was the soulful vocalist. Took me a long time to read the sleeve or back cover and get wise.
I saw THE J. GEILS BAND along with FOGHAT in a Louisville , Kentucky concert in the mid 1970's . I put my girlfriend "Julia" on top of my shoulders at the concert !
One of the best live concert bands in the 70s. Every show I saw the sound system was excellent sounding without alot of distortion. I left the show still tapping my foot and bobbing my head. What fun bluesy music it was.
Dynamic live act. Peter Wolf , awesome front man, Learned how to play a little Harp listening to Magic Dick. Hara Arena 73, 74, 75,76. Dayton, Ohio. Still got all their albums. Whammer Jammer forever.
I been diggin on these bad ass vibes since 73 and I just can't stop rockin this righteous sound man at 65 now,just rippin those riffs,sooooo coool dog !
I’m another 65 y o brother still rocking out , when I can , time is starting to catch up with me ! Oh well , it’s been one hell of a great ride and I’ve loved just about every single minute of it . Peace to all !
Always brought their LPs to the parties I'd go to in the *SEVENTIES,* Baby!!!! In particular: *"FULL HOUSE (Live)"* and this one, *"BLOODSHOT!"* Magic Dick, Peter Wolf (days of sunglasses on stage!), J.Geils, et al.!!!
Lol. Well...since so much of the music has been 'borrowed' (loose term) from Black culture, I figure folks can think what they want. They have the right. And in SOME cases they're right. It's all just music...good is how it hits an individuals ears. 'Alarming number'.😂😂. 'Alarming' is the number of songs that were remade and the original singers go little or no credit. Just saying. That said, JGeils band 'rocked'! For real!!!
I became a big fan of them after seeing them live for the first time in 74. What a high energy, hard driving band, in no time they had the whole audience standing on the seats, moving and grooving for a whole 2 hour show. They put on some of the best live shows of any group I've ever seen, and I saw most of the big names in the 70s.
I don't know anyone that has ever seen this band live that wasn't a big fan. No doubt among the best live bands ever, I've always regarded these guys as a rocking party on legs.
This song was Banned by the FCC 3 weeks before Chuck Berry put out ..."My Ding a Ling"! As Dr John must have been singing about the J Geils Band......." was in the right place, BUT IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE WRONG TIME"---kinda fits the entire early history of Rock's hottest B_A_N_D---who were stripped of their TRUE Due because of it being pre-corporate rock, and Pre video age. Rock and Roll when there were weekend "Rock Festivals"---long forgotten and lost.
Geils Band had a really tough time getting this great tune on the radio...So many pansy radio stations kept 'em down cuz 'you gotta give it to me' was too hot for their sponsors! As a single the song was kept in the closet for months....in some places for years! TRUE
I thought he was asking for the car keys from his Mom so he go out and party Saturday night!? And, his buds brought Bongos and a whistle along for the ride. So many interpretations to the poetry of lyric. - Sandy
THIS WAS MY VERY FIRST CONCERT AT 14 YES OLD!!! I HAD THE BEST TIME, even though my DAD was there too!!, ( he said it DIDN'T ROCK ENOUGH FOR HIM) LOL!! RIP DAD, I MISS YOU!!
best party band ever,, So many memory's listening to these guys in the early seventy's.. The more beer we drank the better it got if you can imagine . This song is fucking amazing.
Yeah man back then if you went to a party there was J. Giels playing at some point or it wasn't a party. The definition of party music back then was J. Giels. It ain't nothing but a party !
How wistful and nostalgic I become when I hear great bands like this featuring killer Hammond solos and excellent keys. J. Geils is one of those bands who I appreciate even more now than when I first heard them. And I loved them back then. Rock on!
I saw Jay geils in Dayton Ohio in the late 70s there are my favorite bands I got there early enough so I was in the first couple rows magic deck would go behind the speakers huge lines of Coke and drink Jack Daniels come back on the stage you would nail the harmonica with all those great sounds I loved it
What they were doing was a Mo town Style Rock kinda Fusion .. they were a Kick ass Band ,,Unique and yes Freeze frame was the begining of the end However it was not a bad album.. More mainstream .. more airplay.. thats how it was when Radio ruled ..
A looong time ago, I saw Thorogood and J Geils in concert. Thorogood came out first and tore the place up. I thought no way could J Geils top that. They did.
Bought this record 35 years ago! I hear Centerfold by these guys all the time on Classic Radio, never this song! My personal favorite by this band! Rock On!
Living in Boston in the mid-70s, catching J. Geils and the James Montgomery Blues Band for free on the Esplanade or at Nickerson Field, both bands would just TEAR IT UP wherever they played. No posing, no pyrotechnics, no big screen backdrops -- just hard-driving thrill-house rock and roll.
The black clubs in my hometown loved rocking this classic by the J.Geils Band though this came out in the 70s we kept rocking it right on though the 80s and beyond..one of my all time favorite funk rock jams..that and the Sweet's "Funk It Up"
when this o.g. vinyl came out in pure red ta match the tital Bloodsot, it was almost as cool as seein em in concert in the 70's, almost. Peter wolf on vocals, J geils on Guitar, & of course Mr. Magic Dick on his lickin stick, whata ah harp!!! Great Band!!!!!! Peace, DaKwala
Saw them 20 times in the 70’s . I have seen them all . Nobody ever put on a better dance on your seat performance. Mick Jagger couldn’t hold Peter Wolf’s jock strap when it came to dancing and getting the audience to dance !!!!
Heard it shopping in a clothing store [back when Christ was a child], bought the album, it is now 2022 and I still play it as one of my favorites. OH !! converted it to CD and kept the jacketed 33 in a secure location with the rest of my coveted 33"s.
I'm gonna be 35 next month in May the 19th and grew up on 70s and 80s music and ahh missed out but listening to all this good shit in 2024. Such a more pleasant time and not the hustle and basal of today.
I saw J Geils at the Swing auditorium in San Berdo back in 1975, they were great. Also saw ZZ Top, Elvin Bishop, and Frank Zappa at the Swing. Years lter heard that a plane crashed into the Swing and burned it to the ground.............damn it.
6 1/2 minutes of song, 2/3 of which is an outSTANDing instrumental outro jam...you will not hear the likes of this on radio today. Listened to WVBF in Boston all year back in '73 and this was one of its top tracks...oh man..I think I have rediscovered another peerless band..thx youtube!
+b1zook- OMGosh Yes!! Your first sentence is perfectly written and I agree 100%. However, if it weren't for L.A.'s TheSound here in So.California I would have never known that J. Geils actually has some great music. ( I'm not a fan of their 'Love Stinks'/ 'Centerfold' period )
I met J Geils a couple of times, I was 17ish in my mother's office and she mentioned in front of him that I had played some of his bands music for her and she said " I don't love Love Stinks". He was very nice to my mother, sent her flowers when she was in the hospital and joked around with her. I do remember telling her he was in a band, not an orchestra. She met Peter and Faye as well. Faye Dunaway was also very friendly, so unlike most celebrities.
best white reggae song ever. its too bad this band got lost for whatever reason. they could have really had a long career as all the ingredients were in place to keep finding a way to be a vital musical unit. dropouts of the college of musical knowledge
Gino: If they are dropouts they have regretted it because on ( in my humble opinion anyway) on Full House their best album and live( a true test of a great band) Peter Wolf introduces one of their song's by saying Its the collage of musical knowledge. As a DJ I can tell you (,having done production) we can make anyone sound good in the studio it is how good they are live that. counts and these guy's always deliver the goods
A great band. Very underrated. And they were great live. In fact they released a two in disc anthology, and most of the tracks on it were the live versions.
Wow...now this is not the babe I knew... because all I knew was Freeze Frame, etc.....a friend turned me on to this ... I was too young to be listening to this back in '73 ... LoL...sure glad I got to hear this. Kinda reminded me of how the old Kool and the Gang was nothing like the 80s Kool
The last 1:17 of this song, WAS THE VERY ESSENCE of The J Geils Band and why they were SO Great. Lost but NEVER forgotten by their fans, and music lover historians. Play this song, full blast, for ANYONE-ANYWHERE, you know what response you will get??? W_T_F!!!!????????!!!!!!!???????!!!!???
I'm gonna have to rev up my torrents again and get some more old music on my phone. I forgot about many gems like this. Oh, I have MOST of it on vinyl. I paid $$$ a long time ago. They should give me a free pass. 62 and still a rocking hippie.

Should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Ahhh, the '70's what a great time to be alive! No phones, no social media, everything was happening organically.
I'm 61. The 70's was the best decade of my life and Nazareth was one of the most popular groups of the 70's.

This group was straight up American rock and roll. Miss bands like this.
IMO J Geils was the best American band for a good while!
J geils was played at every house party in the winter - pull up the floor !
This sounds pretty reggae meets Stax to my ears.
i would say dis song is southern rock tempered w blues.
Peter is still touring and he is amazing pnss
I’m 25. My coworker in his mid 50s showed me this great song. We started talking about older music and we ended up playing old tunes the whole shift.
The J.Geils Band are the real deal brah.
This is the song l play to all my girlfriends
70s great rock

Does anyone know why this is considered e Detroit band

A folk singer, Cat Stevens, and a band from Cleveland who had one hit, The Outsiders, are in the rock and roll hall of fame, but the J.Geils band isn't, what a joke.
Listen all you younger people, every band in the 70s jammed like this. It was fucking great!
Ahh the 70s miss that shit.
Yeah where the music go it’s so bad now it’s really depressing
Unfuckin believable is what it was!!!!
Yup,, our 70s,, the GREATEST. How bout some STEPPENWOLF, on that MAGIC CARPET RIDE???
there was music standards
Why can't "classic" rock stations play this instead of Centerfold over and over and over again???
Mark Burnett cuz they don't think people want to hear it They play it safe rock pac kaged with preservatives like frozen food
Mike Mcdonnell Amen and a half!!
Mark Burnett depends on where you live I'm in SoCal and 100.3 the sound is great

One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen! Saw them in 1981 opening for the Stones!
,me too, only paid 15.00 for ticket . Best concert ever !!!
I saw them at the University of Arkansas right after the release of their Full House album was released in 1973. Great show.
Wow. What a deal!
I'm so jealous 😫
Me too spent in candlestick
Just one of the many great bands that should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but aren't what a crime
We call it the "Hall of shame. NWA is in there. Gotta b from Compton,CA!
Reppin bean town
How in the hell are Diana Ross and the Supremes, and Gladys Knight and the pips in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame? But not J Geils? It’s a goddamn shame.
I agree!

It’s truly fucked up, my friend!
Im 60 plus years old and I've seen j giels 5 or 6 times what a show everytime. takes me back to the 70s man what a great time to be in your (my)youth
Damn I am jealous. Never saw them but got dam they were great.
It’s 2024 and I’m with ya brother! I’ve seen J Geils in Fl. Never forget78’

Best song they ever created & one of my favs of all time.
I am with you- love this song - dancing to this was heaven.
Many doobies smoked back in the day while listening to J Giles 🤘👍
Could have Doobie brothers smokin with you
...1973 was a great year for music....
In my humble opinion, J Geils Band best tune. If this don't make your feet wanna move, nuthin' will.
One of the best two part rock songs with a jam in the second half (kind of like the Rolling Stones "can't you hear me knocking" that way.
I have loved this jam for 4 decades....timeless shit....still rocks my ass...wait for the break!!!!
I love the break- can't dance enough to this and did in the day!
Louder the better
Oooohhh that break… yeah baby yeah!
One of the Funkiest Songs Ever!
Come Back is funkier.
@@DS-ss7vl Come Back by which artist/band? As there is literally tons of songs called Come Back.

They were really good at mixing styles. Come Back is another cool eclectic song.
one of the greatest jam bands ever
MY GIRLFRIEND "JULIA" GAVE IT TO ME !
When the springtime comes, this is the song I blast in the car with the windows down.
Sounds like a nice tradition, I'll try it here in Phoenix come spring time.
Me too!
I blast this song almost everyday in my truck
Oh fucking yeah!! Let it rip!!!
Exactly... You hit the nail right on the head with your post. This is the exact scenario/image that pops in my head when I even think about this song.
These guys cared about MUSIC and JAM - and not commercial radio ratings.
Pure talent.
Green Infrastructure Buffalo NY Buffalo NY ...Real artists are more concerned with their ART and wanting to present their art in the best way they can. Commercialism can be nice, but robs the TRUE ART form.
It really shows in their music too !
Seth Justman (underated Keyboardist) most people don't know J Geils was the guitarist and Peter Wolfe sang
Like listening to a Robin Trower song and not knowing bassist James Dewar was the soulful vocalist. Took me a long time to read the sleeve or back cover and get wise.
went to high school with him atlantic city High

best party band, best in concert, they get you moving!!! need to be in the HALL
they refused to sign on with the CIA
Needs more cowbell!!! Great song from my childhood that I remember fondly.
love your cowbell reference! love this funky song.
You're a dick!
1 of my alltime favs song!
when this o.g. vinyl came out in pure red ta match the tital Bloodsot, it was almost as cool as seein em in concert in the 70's, almost. Peter wolf on vocals, J geils on Guitar, & of course Mr. Magic Dick on his lickin stick, whata ah harp!!! Great Band!!!!!! Peace, DaKwala
... yes, i had the red vinyl
When you held that red album up and looked through the vinyl, it was as if your eyes were bloodshot.
THIS WAS ONE HECKUVA JAMMIN' ALBUM ! It was released in 1973 !
Just 6 1/2 minutes of killer cool old school ROCK. Hell yeah...
why aren't these guys in the hall of fame ?
RRHOF has as much politics as DC ...
....and Madonna is. Go figure! The RRHOF is.a joke, no doubt.
because they haven't begged or paid the right people
So true.
Ron Cal Because they aren't gangsta rappers.
R.I.P. John Warren Geils Jr. 🙏
What a jam pure, party rocker, and we all know what wolf is asking for...yeah.
Saw them 20 times in the 70’s . I have seen them all . Nobody ever put on a better dance on your seat performance. Mick Jagger couldn’t hold Peter Wolf’s jock strap when it came to dancing and getting the audience to dance !!!!
First concert I ever went to back in the 70's. They ROCKED the house down!! 🤘🔥✌️
I don't know why but I like the mix in this song. Lots of top and bottom but little in the middle. Brings out the harmonica and bass very well.
Heard it shopping in a clothing store [back when Christ was a child], bought the album, it is now 2022 and I still play it as one of my favorites. OH !! converted it to CD and kept the jacketed 33 in a secure location with the rest of my coveted 33"s.
Bloodshot 1973 on Red Vinyl! This song, Southside Shuffle, and Ain't Nuthin' but a House Party!!! Timeless!
I'm gonna be 35 next month in May the 19th and grew up on 70s and 80s music and ahh missed out but listening to all this good shit in 2024. Such a more pleasant time and not the hustle and basal of today.
Oh! You are a Taurus. You love music.
Your math is a bit off
I bought this bLP when it first came out and it was on RED VINYL !!!
I saw J Geils at the Swing auditorium in San Berdo back in 1975, they were great. Also saw ZZ Top, Elvin Bishop, and Frank Zappa at the Swing. Years lter heard that a plane crashed into the Swing and burned it to the ground.............damn it.
+Josie Forbes- :-))) Really, San Bernaghetto? I've recently lived in San Bernardino!! Just had to say hey because I never see Ole SBDO mentioned.
The instrumental portion of this song is one of the best.
J. Geils is laying down one nasty lead after that harmaconica solo. Hot Shit! ✌️
They were tight, for sure!
The instrumental break is absolutely filthy.
You are so riiiight!!!
djspliff26 Love the piano..and funky sax,.......more sax.....ok?
It definitely is!
@@angelaallen340 what sax
Peter wolf ........🎙🎤🎙🎤🎙🎤🎙🎤🎙🎤
6 1/2 minutes of song, 2/3 of which is an outSTANDing instrumental outro jam...you will not hear the likes of this on radio today. Listened to WVBF in Boston all year back in '73 and this was one of its top tracks...oh man..I think I have rediscovered another peerless band..thx youtube!
+b1zook- OMGosh Yes!! Your first sentence is perfectly written and I agree 100%. However, if it weren't for L.A.'s TheSound here in So.California I would have never known that J. Geils actually has some great music. ( I'm not a fan of their 'Love Stinks'/ 'Centerfold' period )
Yes, this is the best! I love the Bloodshot album.
J Geils definitely rocks. This song is so awesome with such an excellent jam session. Greatest party music ever.
I met J Geils a couple of times, I was 17ish in my mother's office and she mentioned in front of him that I had played some of his bands music for her and she said " I don't love Love Stinks". He was very nice to my mother, sent her flowers when she was in the hospital and joked around with her. I do remember telling her he was in a band, not an orchestra. She met Peter and Faye as well. Faye Dunaway was also very friendly, so unlike most celebrities.
best white reggae song ever. its too bad this band got lost for whatever reason. they could have really had a long career as all the ingredients were in place to keep finding a way to be a vital musical unit. dropouts of the college of musical knowledge
Gino: If they are dropouts they have regretted it because on ( in my humble opinion anyway) on Full House their best album and live( a true test of a great band) Peter Wolf introduces one of their song's by saying Its the collage of musical knowledge. As a DJ I can tell you (,having done production) we can make anyone sound good in the studio it is how good they are live that. counts and these guy's always deliver the goods
Centerfold killed them...
@@rogerhamer895 No ..it helped them gain a wider audience from people who missed out at the beginning
Man what a groove
You know what I mean when I say wait for it......2:56...And BAM!!! Best part of the song right here!!! :-)))))))
Rochelle Eskue lol! righr
#right
Kathryn Hicks I got ya!! Thanks for the comment. :-)
And the Hammond keyboard leading up to 2:56, the guitar riff, I hear ya
+Kai Naihe Oh, for sure. The anticipation of it all!!
A great band. Very underrated. And they were great live. In fact they released a two in disc anthology, and most of the tracks on it were the live versions.
One of the best bands to ever come out of Boston!!!
or maybe quart of Capt Morgan
One of the?????
Along with the Cars , the del Fuegos
They were from New Jersey
Very true 👍
Great music! Great keyboards! It all works so well together.
This song has the best jam! It's always playing in my head!
No better band in the 70s
I remember their "Hotline" LP that was released in '75 that was cut and shaped like a rotary-dial table telephone. The "handle" contained the record.
Wow...now this is not the babe I knew... because all I knew was Freeze Frame, etc.....a friend turned me on to this ... I was too young to be listening to this back in '73 ... LoL...sure glad I got to hear this. Kinda reminded me of how the old Kool and the Gang was nothing like the 80s Kool
The band!!! Not the word babe....ugh, sorry
Hollywoooood.....Hollywood, swingen!
The last 1:17 of this song, WAS THE VERY ESSENCE of The J Geils Band and why they were SO Great.
Lost but NEVER forgotten by their fans, and music lover historians.
Play this song, full blast, for ANYONE-ANYWHERE, you know what response you will get???
W_T_F!!!!????????!!!!!!!???????!!!!???
Album released April 12,1973. I was there....
I'm gonna have to rev up my torrents again and get some more old music on my phone. I forgot about many gems like this. Oh, I have MOST of it on vinyl. I paid $$$ a long time ago.
They should give me a free pass. 62 and still a rocking hippie.
