J GEILS BAND
Full House 2009 [no label, 1CD]
Live at The Fillmore, Detroit, MI, April 24-25, 2009. Very good soundboard.
Thanks to hits such as Centrefold and Freeze Frame and music videos and MTV, younger listeners will remember the J Geils Band as a ’80s pop-rock group. But back in the ’70s, they were a tight R&B outfit whom the Allman Brothers Band considered their favourite local band.
In 1972, the J Geils Band released Live Full House, recorded at the Cinderella Ballroom in Detroit on April 21-22, 1972. One fan noted: “When I was growing up the original Full House was a huge album in Detroit. This was when J Geils were a great R&B band before the MTV hits.”
Thirty-seven years later, the J Geils Band have lost none of their power and excitement and here is a recreated 2009 version of Full House from uncirculated soundboards. And a boogie good time to be had by all.
Thanks To Evil Dr. Louie for sharing the tracks.

The Hottest Band around. No one would want these guys opening for them and have to follow! Fantastic!
Thanks To Evil Dr. Louie!!!!!!

Man I would love to have the complete show, but what’s that turd Kid Rock doing on stage with a great band like J. Geils? At least it was only on the poppy Centerfold and not one of the blues tracks….

Encore une excellente surprise,OH YEAEEEHHH
By BOB L INTERNAUTE on Aug 7, 2009
no offense Jim, but “surpassed only by the Small Faces”? is that a backhanded crack or what? Geils was considered nothing less than “america’s Rolling Stones” in their prime! dude!
sadly for diehards such as meself, their late-period commodification (talking about “Freeze-frame) was where their bad-assed live white R&B boogie cred went south. That said, they certainly deserved to rake in some green, they’d paid their dues so many times over.
For my tastebuds, “sanctuary” was their high point in balancing musical sophistication and guts. Unfortunately, it became clear that they’d rather dance than bleed, but still, they did put it out there when they could.
Thanks for the show, a pleasure to hear and a nifty little compilation concept.
“surpassed only by the Small Faces”? argggh. barf. belch. grrrrr.

For me, JGB started slipping after the original Full House album. Keep in mind I had thje luxury of seeing them frequently back in the days before they became commercially successful, so I’m using a different scale than one that even considers “Snctuary” or “Freeze Frame” or anything like it.
It’s amazing what commercial success will do to one’s artistic endeavors.

This is really good, not as good as the original, but it still packs a punch. The sound is fine and the performances let you know this ain’t no oldies review. Kudos to whoever pieced this together. Good work. And to the band, of course.

hey bigo, i’m not real familiar with the j. geils band, other than their two mtv hits. however, i listened to samples of full house on amazon, and it sounded pretty good so i downloaded this.
thanks,

how do I get a cd made of this show FULL HOUSE 2009,,,,,,,,,,not the old version.. thank you
By Danny on Aug 8, 2009
Great stuff… I saw them 1 time only =( 1980 on the Love Stinks tour in Poughkeepsie, NY and they tore the place down and had 6 (!) encores… They put the lights on after the 5th encore and 5 minutes later, as half of the crowd had gone and they turned the lights back off for the last number…. I was 2nd row center and in total amazement of one of America’s premier rock n roll bands. Peter was a total maniac. After that came Freeze Frame and the pop MTV hype and then the breakup that followed… Long live the J. Geils Band.

I don’t care for Kid Rock either but he did take Peter Wolf on tour with him to introduce a new audience to one of the all time greatest frontman and singer the USA has ever produced.

Back in early 1972, while in college in Madison, WI, I was hitching a ride to see Ten Years After at the Dane County Coliseum. A limo pulled over on the causeway and, from inside, came a head with black hair and sun glasses. “Do you know how to get to a White Castle?” the head asked? I did. “Get in.” I did. I then spent the rest of the evening in the company of Peter Wolf and the J. Geils Band. They blew my face out. And they are still able to blow faces out 37 years later. A great post in very good quality sound. The complete show is available as a B-/C+ audience tape on another blog. BigO rules.

I was fortunate enough to be at the recording of Full House at the Cinderella Ballroom. Stood right in front of the stage!!!! It was so cool.
