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!!!❤🎉😂
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!!
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.
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!!✌💜
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.
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.
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.!!!
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 !
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!!
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 !!!!
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.
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.
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!
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 !
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.
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"
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.
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
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
A toast!! To Our adopted sons fron Boston.Forever heros in Detroit. I dunno why we took to them like we did. But the energy was always blow the roof off the place when they gigged here. They always seem to just fit us.
6 minutes and 32 seconds of Moving and Grooving, Cow Bell, Hammond Organ w/Leslie Speaker, Funky Lead, Rhythm, Saxophone, Drums,Whistle. Oh and the greatest subject of all time. "Give it to Me"
They played here at the Erie County Field House Erie Pa in maybe 75/76 and they played this song. I thought the place was coming down around us. Just killer. Boston Ma.put's out good music. RIP J.G.
I remember in 1998 when I was 25, my teenage neighbors were jamming to this in their garage. I asked them how they knew this and they told me they were raised on 70s rock and jam. I told them to never listen or jam to any 80s or 90s because it doesn't get any better than the 70s. We remain great friends to this very day
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.
I remember rocking out to this song as a teenager when I was coming out of my adolescent depression. I used to play air guitar to this song pretending I was some major rock star in concert
The very first time l saw J .Geils band... Someone gave me about 4 free tickets...and me and 3 buddies were walking to the show...a girl we all knew saw us and gave us ride...but when we got there they changed their mind and wanted to go party with her...l later let them know they missed a hell of a show...!!! It was Awesome...!!! and l only knew a few of their songs...but they kicked ass and was having a fun...!!! Me too...!!! I had a Great time...!!! Wish I could go back to those daze...!?!
Cold blooded ! J. Geils Band ! What a funky groove ! Oh My God ! You know what they are talking about people !!! Where is this song on so called classic rock stations?
Another really good song off the album Bloodshot. When it goes into strictly instrumentals, the frenzy increases, you cut up the volume, and you almost think you're back in the 70's again.
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!!!
got air conditioning now. thank you neighbors
🤣🎼🎵🍻
Dig it!

Back in the day, the cops showed up at our house from this cranking!

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.

Ahh the 70s miss that shit.

Unfuckin believable is what it was!!!!
Yup,, our 70s,, the GREATEST. How bout some STEPPENWOLF, on that MAGIC CARPET RIDE???
there was music standards
I bought this LP when it first came out in 1973 and it was on RED VINYL !!!
So is mine!
Front Row Seats- Cobo Hall, Detroit, MI. Oh yeah!
Seen them seven times.... great music.
@@scotchace8689cobo HALL....
WOW YOU WERE THERE!!!
...1973 was a great year for music....
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
How many of you remember this song
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!!!❤🎉😂
1974🎶🎶🎶🎵👍
Me!
Many doobies smoked back in the day while listening to J Giles 🤘👍
Could have Doobie brothers smokin with you
Older 70's Tune still cutting thru ! It still resonates as a tasteful Tune that never gets old ! Basically timeless !!! ♦️ 🇺🇸 ♦️
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
@@TheRydog61 olomO
The old tunes are still the best ! Today's music is pure garbage
Rhythm section is great! If you only know Centerfold...It's your loss 😎
In my humble opinion, J Geils Band best tune. If this don't make your feet wanna move, nuthin' will.

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.
DAMN! We sure had it good. Gets an old guy to boogie!! Hats off to the Greatest Party Band!!
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!
@@smartluck100
It’s truly fucked up, my friend!
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

this is one of those songs that can't be loud enough.
These guys cared about MUSIC and JAM - and not commercial radio ratings.
Pure talent.

It really shows in their music too !
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

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.
47 years old and just discovering this song which is 47 years old. It is the shit. Very freaking underrated band.
That’s a far out coincidence, my young rocker friend!!
So much funk in their playing style.
So much energy awesome concerts
I was around 20 when I when I remember seeing them doing this at Cobo Arena in Detroit. They were a blast to see live! Enjoy it brother!
@@juneharry4857 whole band in perfect syncopation every time
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.
oy vey
They were really good at mixing styles. Come Back is another cool eclectic song.
I am63 now and I still love this song. Bloodshot was my first album I would take it with me when I babysat for my neighbors.
In all seriousness this may be 1 of the 20 greatest rock songs of all time
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!
1973, I was a junior in high school. Still love this song.
Same here, the whole album is great
My favorite song by far by them.
Me too. Became a junior that September. This song wasn't a big hit, but it did get some airplay.
best party band, best in concert, they get you moving!!! need to be in the HALL
Agreed
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.!!!
Can't sit still when these guys play live! The best live band I've ever seen personally. 😁👍
GREAT live band.
tell that to KISS fans...
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.
and he would jump around like a frog. Damn that singer would jump.

'Love Stinks' & 'Musta Got Lost' - two other great songs!
While I was glad to see the band get some love with Centerfold and Freeze Frame, to me that just wasn't J Geils.

I heard Slade do FAR, FAR AWAY. now I don't remember the headliner.....
What a groove... The rhythm section is in the pocket as deep as it goes.
How fantastic to see this live in a club !! This song is sensational.
Far and away my favorite J. Geils cut. I defy anyone to sit still during that track!
I know I cant !
Mission impossible! Lol
They played here at the Erie County Field House Erie Pa in maybe 75/76 and they played this song. I thought the place was coming down around us. Just killer. Boston Ma.put's out good music. RIP J.G.

Faye Dunaway was also very friendly, so unlike most celebrities.
Great music! Great keyboards! It all works so well together.
I remember rocking out to this song as a teenager when I was coming out of my adolescent depression. I used to play air guitar to this song pretending I was some major rock star in concert
What a jam pure, party rocker, and we all know what wolf is asking for...yeah.
One of the best guitar solos of all time.
Completely underrated
The drums too! And even the harp!
This was my shit. My party POOPERS love this. Break dancing and free styling all night long. I Deejayed and played this at all of my parties.
one of the best transitions ever. Why keep me cold, when it's so warm inside
any band w a guy named.." MaGIC DicK" in it...can get away w these sweet lyrics...🍻
Rock and roll lives on
I am from Florida
Yes❤

Definitely my favourite song from J. Giels Band. May J. Geils RIP.
I bought this bLP when it first came out and it was on RED VINYL !!!
The very first time l saw J .Geils band... Someone gave me about 4 free tickets...and me and 3 buddies were walking to the show...a girl we all knew saw us and gave us ride...but when we got there they changed their mind and wanted to go party with her...l later let them know they missed a hell of a show...!!! It was Awesome...!!! and l only knew a few of their songs...but they kicked ass and was having a fun...!!! Me too...!!! I had a Great time...!!! Wish I could go back to those daze...!?!
Cold blooded ! J. Geils Band ! What a funky groove ! Oh My God ! You know what they are talking about people !!! Where is this song on so called classic rock stations?
Another really good song off the album Bloodshot. When it goes into strictly instrumentals, the frenzy increases, you cut up the volume, and you almost think you're back in the 70's again.
