I was born in Boston in 1960 and Geils was the band that we loved most in the 1970s, especially their legendary New Years Eve shows ( forget about Aerosmith or Boston ). The sound is good and the energy is very intense ! This album easily ranks in the top ten live Rock ‘N Roll albums ever recorded IMHO. Tell me who is a better white blues harp player than Richard Salwitz….Dr Feelgood Funk….~ Magic Dick and Peter Wolf are really the stars of this show. This album is up there with “Live at Leeds” (The Who), “Live at the Fillmore” (The Allman Brothers Band), “Ya-ya’s” (The Rolling Stones), “Live in Cook County Jail” (B B King), and “Live at the Apollo” (James Brown). Forget “Centerfold” … forget “Freeze-Frame” commercial crap.

Full House captures them at their Chicago blues best. The Stones took 2 HOURS to come on after this band’s 45-minute set. I saw them at Williams College twice, and then later at the best concert of my life: Tower of Power, Geils, and then the Rolling Stones in Cleveland. Enthusiasm overflows the speakers, and say that there are only eight titles … If we could travel back in time, on that we would go back to see this concert with our eyes….~īLOW YOUR FACE OUT! Ok, I’m prejudiced.

#WHATS A WHAMMER JAMMER TORRENT#

Composed largely of blues and rhythm and blues covers, the album transcends genres taking everything away in a torrent of fevered rock n'roll. Geils may give his name to the band of which he is supposed to be the leader, but he appears well behind the singer Peter Wolf and the harmonica player Magic Dick. Ah and yes I forgot a singer with unparalleled charisma, the vocal cords in fusion. On fire guitars, a harmonica to damn himself (“Whammer Jammer”) and a hint of organ/piano (Jim Jones reviewed before the hour) to add a groove note. Rock n'roll, real, pure and hard, infused with soul and blues influences, as shown in the incredible ten-minute version of John Lee Hooker’s “Serve you right to suffer”. It’s all there, condensed within 32 minutes of the album. Geils Band, who arrived from Boston, attacked the scene.

The wave starts from our good old city of Detroit (the motown, the Stooges, the MC5 all that, all that), the Cinderella Ballroom, April 21 and it reaches us thanks to the magic of recording. Welcome to “Full House,” one of the greatest live records in the history of rock n’ roll.

The least we can say is that it is off to a pretty good start. “Are you ready for some rock n'roll?” he shouts into the microphone. Geils Band 'Live' Full House'1972 US Blues Rock,R & B,Classic Rock (Greatest live rock album of all time)
