J. Geils Band: J. Geils (guitar); Stephen Jo. Bladd (vocals, drums); Peter Wolf (vocals); Magic Dick (harp); Seth Justman (piano, organ); Daniel Klein (bass). Recorded live at the Cinderella Ballroom, Detroit, Michigan on April 21-22, 1972. Originally released on Atlantic (7241). Digitally remastered by George Marino. The J. Geils Band made many fine, sometimes great, studio albums but where they really captured their full, thrilling potential was on the concert stage. Most live albums tend to be a poor excuse for actually being at the show in question, but the Geils Band's live albums jump out of the speakers with so much joy, fun, and unquenchable rock & roll spirit that you might as well be there. "Live" Full House was their first live record, and it is a blast from start to finish. Recorded in 1972 at Detroit's Cinderella Ballroom, the group runs through songs from their first two albums, The J. Geils Band and The Morning After, kicking out the jams on rockers like the Motown chestnut "First I Look at the Purse," Otis Rush's "Homework," and one of the group's first self-penned classics, "Hard Drivin' Man," as well as positively scorching through an incredible version of John Lee Hooker's dark and evil blues "Serves You Right to Suffer." It's easy to overlook J. Geils himself on guitar when you have a magnetic frontman like Peter Wolf or the unstoppable force that is harp player Magic Dick (check "Whammer Jammer" for proof of his greatness), but his soloing on this track serves notice that he could tear off a ferocious solo with the best of them. "Live" Full House is a short, punchy shot of rock & roll genius by one of the great bands of the '70s and one of the best live albums ever recorded. ~ Tim Sendra There have been few live acts as explosive and relentless as the J. Geils Band were during the 1970s. Their studio albums couldn't have prepared their fans for the band's sheer onstage energy. So after only a pair of studio albums had hit the racks (1970's self titled debut and 1971's THE MORNING AFTER), the group issued its first live set, 1972's LIVE FULL HOUSE. LIVE FULL HOUSE is one of the J. Geils Band's finest releases. While there aren't many certified hits here besides "Looking For a Love," the songs and the performances are still top notch, especially the intense rave-up "Whammer Jammer," and such other rockers as "Cruisin' For Love" and "Hard Drivin' Man."

Live in Detroit This is just outright fun party time music. Peter Wolf's voice is raspy and rapid fire, never better. Magic Dick's harmonica wails, especially on "Whammer Jammer," a full tilt boogie number. My personal favorite is "Hard Drivin' Man," which features some nice bluesy piano and more harp work by Dick. Geils was never a flashy guitar whiz, but the band does what it does best by backing up Wolf and keeping to its blues roots. Great stuff for a party. And hey, it was recorded in my hometown, Detroit, so what could be better? Submitted by Johnny Motown (Detroit)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Heard It? Heard it? I lived it. Hate to give away my age but what can I say, this Detroit rocker watched in awe as these guys ripped up the stage like they were the Stones or something. No one, not even security was sitting still at that show. The cool thing is I seen them at the palace when 2000 rolled in. If Y2K or the end of time was going to happen, there would have not been a better way to kiss it all good bye. Wolf and the band performed as if time had stood still for them all those years later. Loved them from day one and ain't stopped yet. If you dig real music, this is where you need to be! Submitted by dddommer (Detroit, MI, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Gentle Men start your engines....... This CD is not for the faint hearted! If by the end of the first song some part of your body is not movin and groovin you'd better check your pulse. This CD is HIGH energy. A must for any party. 30 years latter my kids start jumping around when I play this and even request that I play it! The only draw back is that it's too short. It leaves you wanting for more. Too bad a remastered disc with some long lost selections to compliment the originals can't be added. Turn it up, play it loud and hope that everybody is still standing when the smoke clears. If you're a Rock N Roll fan this is a must for your collection.
