    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.

    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.

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!

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.

    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?

    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-✌️❤️
