Sorry to admit I have only one Geils track in my music library: "Centerfold", from some godawful 80s-pop-hits compilation with crap like Quarterflash and Laura Brannigan. Where the hell did that come from?
I still treasure the memory of many great, if admittedly befogged, memories of live shows from my youth, all at the Providence Civic Center. RIP, boogie-woogie man.

I can do even better (or worse?) than that. I have one track on this hilariously mistitled compilation and the title track to Monkey Island that I bought from Napster when they became a legit online retailer. I also have a pretty much unplayable copy of Full House I probably paid a quarter for back in the late 70s.
I only saw them live once, when Sanctuary was their most recent album and they showed up as a surprise act at a concert to benefit the striking employees of WBCN at the Orpheum.

Saw them three or four times, back in the day, at The Garden. Proudly have the ticket stub, from the concert when Blow Your Face Out was recorded, stapled to the record jacket.
Here's to Mr. Geils, now jamming with so many of his favorite guitarists in Heaven.

It doesn't touch the recording, so no problem there. Only thing I can think of is that you're cringing at some lost collector's value? Doesn't matter - it's not going anywhere to be collectable. It's strictly for my pleasure.

And the real Buzzy's, with the handwritten signs and the beef that tasted like dog food. None of this clean, sanitary crap.

when I was a kid someone told my friends and i that the guys who sang love stinks were rehearsing in a factory down in union square allston. the jim did it sign factory. we walked, biked, boarded down and began listening. as the day (several days actually) went on we listened to them play from the sidewalk, through the walls. we waited and waited but never heard love stinks but we did hear a few of the same riffs over and over and over. im not sure whether they were rehearsing for a new tour or writing but the riffs we were hearing were freeze frame and centerfold and these songs would be all over the radio a few months later. we never saw any of the guys until one day a skinny guy with black hair came out and walked right up to me and told me to get my ass off his red mg, it was peter wolf. as he walked back in we started yelling at him to play love stinks! but they never did.

The Price Is Right played Freeze Frame today (the game, not the J. Geils song).
I saw them at least 4 times.

I saw them at least 4 times. Cape Cod Coliseum had Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as openers was one of my all time favorites.
Sorry, but they lost me at Centerfold..
How Lost?

At work last night:
"J Geils just died."
"No Sh#t: He used to play lead for J. Geils Band."
"Really? I thought that Peter Wolf did."
Stare.

Nice tribute to J Geils and his connection to the Larz Anderson museum buried on page 9 of their monthly newsletter.
