#J geils band whammer jammer live full
"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. The band had a number of modest and eventually some big hits during their years with Atlantic, among them 'First I Look At The Purse,' 'Whammer Jammer,' and 'Looking For A Love.' However, during this period, it was actually the high energy live show that gave the 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.
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. Whammer Jammer is based out of Massachusetts and captures that Party experience like no other. Comprised of 6 dedicated musicians honoring one of the worlds Greatest LIVE bands of all time. Recorded in 1972 at Detroit's Cinderella Ballroom, the group runs through songs from their first two albums, The J. WHAMMER JAMMER a Tribute to The J.Geils Band.

The band started as an acoustic blues trio in the mid 1960s with singer and guitarist J. 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. Geils Band made many fine, sometimes great, studio albums but where they really captured their full, thrilling potential was on the concert stage. Anyone who wants to get the real picture of one of the most exciting, wall-shaking bands of the '70s (with a fair chunk of their later work included) needs to investigate Rhino's two-CD set Houseparty: Anthology instead.The J. As it is, the disc is suitable only for the most casual of J. It also would have helped the compilation live up to the "Best" in the title. Still, a fifty/fifty split on this best of would have done the band more justice.
Granted more people remember the later hits like "Centerfold," "Freeze-Frame," "Just Can't Wait" or "Love Stinks," and you can't deny that they had a run of great pop songs at EMI. Surely relatively weak songs like the pseudo-rockabilly rave-up "Piss on the Wall" or the bland ballad "Teresa" could have sacrificed to make room for some more prime J. There are a handful of classic rockers from the mid-'70s notably "Whammer Jammer" and "Looking for a Love" from 1972's Live - Full House and "Must Have Got Lost" and "(Ain't Nothing But A) Houseparty" from 1976's Blow Your Face Out but add the laid-back reggae tune "Give It to Me from 1973's Bloodshot and that's it for the Atlantic years, a move that omits too many great songs to mention here. That may be fine for the casual fan, but anyone who wants a booster shot of the raucous, house party-starting J.
In fact five songs come from 1981's smash Freeze Frame, three from 1980's Love Stinks, and two from 1982's live disc Showtime! Add it up and three years account for more than half of the songs here. It would be nice to say it is a definitive look at their career, but perhaps due to the record being released by Capitol (a member of the EMI family), the record is tipped in favor of the group's more commercial, pop-oriented songs of the '80s. Geils Band is the first single-disc collection to feature songs from the group's tenures at Atlantic and EMI.
