J . GEILS BAND - GIVE IT TO ME | REACTION

[@GustavoRey-oo6zi]

Real music with real instruments with real musicians.

[@jeffyoungblood4978]

You have no idea how hard we partied to this band back in the early 70s.

[@allendixon1044]

80s to I think that's what love angel is a centerfold come out on it 81 or 82 or so butter lights out lights out some Kick-Butt flamethrower all come on Jay geils had it going on

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

I sure do because I was a teenager in the early 70's who still get flashbacks from that whole hit of 4 way window Payne Acid trip 🤯🤪😱😳🤫🤣🤣

[@dangerousdragon6820]

Kid, we are still playin this in Boston!! 💃💃💃 Its a birth right!

[@lindahollingsworth2567]

OMG yes! I was in HS and we couldn't get enough. When he came to Detroit we did not miss the concert..the harmonica and that bongo solo! Funky.

[@JLC1117]

Remember the number of encores? These guys were insane!❤️

[@shaunriley483]

J. Geils is one of the Funkiest Soul, Rock & Roll concert party bands of all time!! Just fire! They are from Boston but cut their teeth in Detroit, Michigan which they called their home. I lived in Michigan all my life and these guys were here all the time! One of the best live concert bands you'll ever see. I had seen them at least 6 times growing up. We had a jukebox in the high school cafeteria and you would hear J. Geils everyday! Before this song even started I knew you were going to totally dig it!! 👍You're look on your face when it began gave it away! 😁 That's funny you said you were going to stop the song, because it looked like you were going to! Great reaction! Much enjoyed! This is one band you definitely want to go down the rabbit hole with!! Peace brother! ✌

[@deedonnerramone4757]

Pride of Boston, Favorite of Detroit. Always wild in concert.

I've lived this song since 73. I enjoyed watching you enjoy for 1st time. Now J Geils "Back to get ya" next.

Every party in the 70’s didn’t start until you put on some J.Geils! Saw them a few times live. They were an incredible live band.✌️♥️🎶

Yup ! They put the layers in.

[@bobschenkel7921]

One of the great bands from Boston, Mass. , The J. Geils Band was a force of nature in a live setting. Lead singer Peter Wolf is a whirlwind, Guitarist Jerome Geils pronounced Guy-els, is solid not flashy, Bassist Danny Kleinmann keeps it steady, Drummer Steven Jo Bladd kicks it hard, Seth Justman on Keyboards has his Leslie Speaker spinnin' fast, and Magic Dick on Harmonica brings it home. These boys rock it HARD. Saw them live only once, and it was one of the best shows i ever saw, and I've seen lots.

[@robertcoates6800]

Jerome's name was really John and Danny's last name is just Klein.

[@rexmorningstar9332]

I saw them in South Bend, Ind. in the early 70's when they were promoting their FULL HOUSE album. THE most memorable stage show I've ever seen. Peter Wold stage antics, Magic Dick doing summer saults while playing harp. Best show I've ever seen.

[@sinaloástepper]

Bob I was lucky enough to see them twice. What a PARTY and Blow Your Face out. Party on!

"Whammer Jammer" is a fantastic banger by J Geils....

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

"Get it Up Baby" !!!! Lol This was a Big High School party song in the 70s !! : D

[@arthurimhof2427]

One of my all time favorite bands. This song is from there greatest album. The band was named after the guitarist Jerome Geils. R.I.P Peter Wolf Vocals Seth Justmin Keybords Stephen Jo Bladd Drums Daniel Klein Bass Magic Dick Harmonica. This was the ultimate party band.

[@davidmazon7516]

This was one of my favorite songs in the 70s. Can't believe it's actually been that long.

[@kestrelle5345]

Reputa! J Giles used to pop up in various fields around Boston and just play for free. I last saw him play in a park near where I lived we called Broken Glass Park. I suppose it was just a practice for them but from all the poor students in Boston back in the day, we salute you!

[@amypurdy7406]

Great choice , WOW I've always loved this song .

[@2dashville]

77 or 78 saw them live at Eastern Michigan University. I've been to a lot of concerts but that one is my number 1. Standing on our chairs the whole show. So much energy feeding off each other.

[@827dusty]

This really was an underated Band in the 70s. Another Funky Band from Detroit. Lead singer "Peter Wolf" was married to the famous and Beautiful actress Faye Dunnaway (Bonnie& Clyde). So Many great songs by these guys. If you wanted to Blow the roof off your parents house, you played some J.Geiles Band music, and turned up loud!

[@cesarnarro6013]

Dusty : Detroit ? You mean Boston don't you

[@krebstarinc.4225]

@@cesarnarro6013 He can be forgiven as they spent A LOT of time playing Detroit. And, no disrespect to Boston, but they had a Motor City vibe, for sure.

Thank you for reacting to this band! I saw them so many times live back in the 70’s in Boston and what a party every time. Great live band, great reaction 🙂

[@greymattervandal]

The second half of this is such an underappreciated jamout. Thanks for doing this one.

[@jameswilson8433]

Party set! J. Geils "Whammer Jammer", John Mayall's "Room to Move", and Steve Miller's "Livin' in the USA". Harp and funk for days!

Oh my! You HAVE to look into all their tunes! The best ever! Come on man!

[@jackdeucker830]

I know this is 2 years old but I just discovered your channel and I think I like your style of waiting to the end. It's one of my J. Geils Band's favorite songs, but it always reminds me of a tragic story. I knew a guy in a juvenile joint in Illinois in 1977 who could perform all of the music in this song with his mouth and throat, beginning at about the 6:13 mark in your video. It was beyond fascinating! Sad story. He wound up in Vegas dating a stripper. He got caught up in the meth scene and ended up killing his girlfriend and is now doing life in a Nevada prison. I'm sure by now that you've seen a live version. This band was one of the funkiest white bands I've ever heard! In terms of white soul, Rare Earth recorded for Motown and won a B.E.T. award for their rendition of "I'm Losing You". For reference, let this white boy explain that my first experience with funk was when my sister turned me onto Sly in 1972 (if Sly and the Family Stone isn't funk, then funk doesn't exist!!) and continued with the likes of James Brown, Parliament, Bootsy, and Rose Royce... I'm a soul brother of another color! I dig musicians way more than "artists". Synth music has no place in my world. I could go on, but I believe I've made my point and will leave it at that. If you haven't explored the music of Sly Stone (Sylvester), you are missing out...

[@youtold7727]

I lived Vegas 30 years. Sorry about your friend I know that meth is the darkest out of all drugs, it’s a blast at first sleeping with stripper sex is 50 times better on meth but eventually bam! It got me mid-90’s thankfully I recovered but scars. You mentioned Sly Family Stone I was a craps dealer and one of my jobs was at a casino that catered to locals, I dealt to these 5 guys for nine months before the truth came out about who the one he was manager of Sly Stone. He was married to Rose who’s Sly’s sister. His name is Bubba Banks. He’d come in and I’d say hey how’s it going my friend and he’d say there’s my homie then when I found out who he was ah it was cool.

[@michaelschwab5628]

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

I remember when I was little, my dad had an 8 track tape of the greatest hits of 1973 or 1974 (whatever year it came out). This song and THE TROGLODYTE SONG prompted my mom to forbid me and my very young ears to listen to this. SOOO, I put on our headphones and listened so no one could hear me. In those days, we had cabinet-style stereos that had a turntable, radio, 8 track and in some cases, cassette players. I kept a record on the turntable going so she would think I was listening to the record. LOL.

That's Seth Justman on keyboards. Magic Dick on harmonica. I saw J. Geils in concert many times back in the early seventies. Asbury Park Convention Hall was a frequent venue. They even headlined at Madison Square Gardens once with ZZ Top as the opening band!

[@mcasualjacques]

yes

[@sylvialee1079]

They were absolutely a must see live! One of those concerts you didn't need or want a seat for. If you like harmonica jam you have to listen to Whammer Jammer, one of the most iconic performances ever. BTW the vinyl from this is clear red.

[@daleflix]

I was at the live recording of the "Full House" album in the Cinderella Ballroom, Detroit Mi. Most of it was recorded without pauses between songs. Full House is a great live recording.
