Serves You Right to Suffer - Lookin for a Love J Geils Band @ Holy Cross 1972

Recorded and preserved by Video/Visuals - restored by our friend, Paul Beck

[@paulross9287]

Rolling Stone awarded Full House the best party album of the decade. For once I agree with them.

[@GaryBook]

Full House was one of my favorite Live Albums when I was in High School.

[@kevincrozier8625]

I drove truck over the road and Full House kept me rockin' on down the road.

[@PaBasser]

When you saw these guys live, you got your money's worth. They tore it up.

[@platter1000]

NICE

[@BruceMcKinley]

True that!!! I saw them four times--with Yes and Ten Years After in '71, with the Steve Miller Band in '72, with the Eagles in '73,--and I don't remember who with the fourth time ('74 or '75). An excellent live act always!!!

[@steveblackburn9124]

@@BruceMcKinley opened for the stones once also. Smoking

[@micahfitzpatrick967]

I saw them in 1973. Then 2012. It was unreal. Like a time machine. Sounded the same

[@paulross9287]

Fo Sho!

[@petec9686]

Pete Wolf has to be the greatest Rock and Roll front man ever. One of the best live acts ever as well. RIP J Geils.

[@motorcityquig]

He rapped long before it was invented

[@fortred735]

The body dies but the music lives on. And if you believe in a soul or even an energy inside of us, he lived on too, just the body went away. And heck, we got this.

[@jakesnake165]

Seen them around 78 cobo hall wolf jumping all over the stage energetic as hell

[@gunslingerAR]

When I was in junior high 1973 my big brother took me to see Johnny Winter with opening acts J geils Band and Foghat never forget it the good old days

[@jamesewanchook2276]

So many drunken/stoned teenage, playing hooky afternoons listening to 'Full House' One of the grooviest bands of all time. East Vancouver loves these guys!!

[@TheRealBMVB]

Still going on.

[@steveyancey5]

All the way down to Florida! We did the same thing.. I can recall nearly every lyric. "And on the licking stick Mister Magic Dick"!!

[@MichaelRonquillo-fj5on]

Was at the concert in baton Rouge Louisiana when they announced lynnrd skynnyrd had crashed and then they went on to give an awesome performance.

[@myradioon]

Good Drinkin' Album.

[@krisscanlon4051]

In their prime...so important to have this footage. J Geils killing it

[@Thomas-fx1kq]

How is this band NOT in the Rock n Roll hall of fame?

[@bullyproofyomama]

They’re saving the best for last and they’re a load of idiots as well… the so called hall of fame that is . 😎

[@peggygleichman5101]

R.I.P. John Warren Geils Jr. you will be sadly missed your band defined my teenage years. I am sure you are rockin' out in Heaven with all the great ones.

[@cindydufala7646]

Peggy Gleichman Bravo ⚘🕊music lives forever 🎵🎶🎵🎶i was there then, still listening now St Patrick's Day 2020.

[@MrZootalores]

Peggy, had the pleasure of talking with J after a gig up here in Ellsworth Maine a few yrs back..he was still really excited about playing & he'd talk to even crappy guitar players like me; what a great guy he was!

[@patrickmurray-ll5ve]

Dammit,, but we all have to go bless you Wildman

[@JohnBock-nq9lr]

"Let me hear you Jerome!"

[@1700Kurt]

Bob, This footage is UNBELIEVABLE! America's greatest live band EVER. Thank you and where is the rest of it?!?!

[@danielscott1749]

I think I saw this on late night TV as a young Teen: The Next Day I had my first copy of Full House! Three Copies later it still get played regularly, one of the best live albums ever recorded.

[@bak-mariterry9143]

Agreed .

[@JohnBock-nq9lr]

One of the GREATEST ALBUMS EVER,!

[@mbeenz]

ManyThanx!!!! I’m 62 Years old Saw Them 5x in the 70s Greatest Live Show EVER!!! Miss them So Much!!! Nothing Comes Close!! ManyThanx From Costa Mesa Ca!!!!

[@harrymarchiani3770]

In 1972 Peter wolf and the J Giles band played in Wilmington Delaware at the Armory, I was 19 and it was the only time they ever played in Del with King Crimson 51 yrs ago

[@robhealy7590]

best rock band ever saw them 11 times in the 70,80s still would go see them again

[@rickeydeweese1826]

2nd That Motion..!.(Sweet)..!!.They Bring It All Out.

[@fortred735]

Definitely they were best live. Albums and 8-tracks were great, but the live shows drove it home

[@arthynes3475]

This is what Rockin' on all Cylinders Looks Like!!!!

[@andrewhlevy3264]

Maple Leaf stadium That harmonica Great moment! You know baby!

[@tonytmatmatarese5167]

Saw them in Bristol Rhode Island at Providence Williams College. GREAT NEW ENGLAND BAND THE GREATEST R&B EVER

[@TheVixterD]

Love me some Peter Wolf, Magic Dick and the entire J Geils Band. Soundtrack of the 1970s ; )

[@annekiser9632]

I saw them AT LEAST 10 times in the early/mid-70's. WHAT A SHOW they put on EVERY time. Wow. Fun finding these videos! Was afraid this era was lost . . . . .

[@tomkaine363]

+Anne Kiser Saw them twice that year, what a friggin' band.

[@fortred735]

For the longest time it was like you could only get a few snippets from their Fillmore shows. All of this content is rather mind-blowing to see it in such volume

[@fortred735]

Relation to Steve K?

[@NAHAJI133]

Anyone who owns Full House Album CD hold on to it. They have become valuable. There is not much footage either like this floating around. J. Giles a Boston based band became Detroits house band

[@timothyturner3396]

How about on vinyl? It's not in great condition, but is playable. One of the 1st records I ever bought.

[@michaelzukowski5541]

I've got it on vinyl an cd

[@michaelschmidt5031]

Thanks to whoever recorded this and thanks to whoever put it online the j geils Band is the most under-appreciated band in the history of the world

[@pu22er]

Saw JGB 1973 open for Bloodrock and Alice Cooper. 45 minutes of non stop rock and energy. Been a fan ever since R.I.P. J Giles

[@Cream1959]

what a pearl, man best live band ever

[@True1949]

Honolulu, HI...Saw B.T.O. open for J. Geils..... STILL looking for my socks!!!! Greatest show Eva!!

[@markwilliams5606]

[@kliphy10]

will be missed Guitarist J. Geils Dead at 71 RIP

[@edfeltch]

A year after this I was taking a leak during a break in action at an outdoor show in Portsmouth, Virginia,when who should walk in and acquire the urinal next to me ,but,John Lee Hooker himself! He took my tributes in stride, a real iconoclast.

[@Wuei108]

The music of my generation.

[@finkboy66]

R.I.P. Mr Geils - you will be missed. Thank you for your contributions.

[@robertpalacios8430]

Grew up on these boys in my early teenage years was never disappointed live they were way too much over the top when I heard Jay kicked it I actually shed a tear rest in peace Mane

[@arthynes3475]

At The Time....Best Band in the Land.....And Growing.....RIP Jerome!

[@ireneruthfox]

One mighty Band......Wolf, what a frontman. They could not be beat live. Alway delivered.

[@ireneruthfox]

I first saw them in 1970. The Boston Garden. The line-up was J Geils, Cactus, Jimi Hendrix. Not a bad show.

[@platter1000]

WOW!!!! DO YOU STILL HAVE TICKET STUB? DID YOU GO TO WOODSTOCK TOO??

[@ireneruthfox]

I was10 years old. My older guitar playing, brother took me. Seats were in the six row. Crazy loud. it was my first concert.

[@mbeenz]

My dear friends that Hass to be the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll song I have ever heard in my life I saw them play it live and it blew me out of the water and I will never forget it thank you so much Costa Mesa California

[@Mark-cs2qd]

That's low down dirty BLUES.. Southside Chicago Baby... Like Muddy Waters said "the blues had a baby and they named it Rock & Roll"

[@motorcityquig]

JGeils, Mountain, Bloodrock, Deep Purple. I miss those hard rockin' bands from back in the whose keyboard player had an organ

[@dang2473]

[@edmondutleyjr.4504]

One hell of a document! A strong case could and can be made that for a couple years this band was the best touring rock band. For a brief period around this time Faces we’re a hell of a band too.

[@joeconstancio1]

Discovered this J Geils band going to a bull riding in Houston, TX in 1977

[@radfordleonard59]

Seventies best music ever! !!

[@neilouellette3004]

November 15, 1972 Worcester, Ma. They just finished a tour opening for YES on a few dates.

[@kerryyelle1120]

Can't day how many times I've seen them. At least 20 times.Just saw Peter wolf a few months ago in Salisbury Beach, mass and still the ultimate front man. Keep on rocking Peter. Thanks for the upload.

[@tonytmatmatarese5167]

Weren't they from Massachusetts

[@Snagglefratz]

Full House is still one of the best live albums ever.

[@markhaus1329]

I have the full house album and it is just fantastic !

[@KB-jl9nl]

The Best!!

[@GaryBook]

The greatest live albums are Full House, the Who Live at Leeds, Allman Brothers at the Fillmore, Grateful Dead Europe ‘72, Woodstock, Lou Reed’s live version of Sweet Jane with the two guitarist!

[@davebetts9843]

More well known for 'Love Stinks' in the early '80's. This is their 'playground '!!!! Great stuff!!!

[@arthurimhof2427]

One of my all time favorite bands. Rest in Peace Jerome.. Without you J Geils wouldnt be

[@bobchristopher5842]

J Geils band was the most "kicking ass" rockers to ever hit the stage. Period. Their jam was tight. Peter Wolf is the quintessential front man, bluesman. Magic Dick can blow that harp with the best. Seth Justman on keys. Dont remember the bassist or drummers names. Hats off to ya.J Geils was a stone cold guitarist. RIP. J Geils

[@JohnBock-nq9lr]

Danny Klein and Stephen Jo Bladd , respectively....

[@schrader21]

For anyone not familiar with JGB this is what they should see/hear. Not that Centerfold, Love Stinks crap that came in the "80s!

[@memdf2004]

The best live band of all time!

[@davidmathews2599]

How can you not like this shit! Its great!

[@mbeenz]

Why Oh WHY are they not in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame

[@arthynes3475]

Oh Somebody HELP Me......Just Lookin' For Love....

[@jamesrdavis6951]

I saw them in 73 - or was it 74? Anyway it was at Clemson SC and they were awesome! One of the top 5 best concerts I have ever seen and I've seen some good ones. Great footage. Bands like them don't happen anymore.

[@leoconway6943]

I only saw them once but it was June 1971, closing night public late show at the Fillmore East..nuff said

[@sagittarius7569]

Mr BOBVIDPIX!!!!!!!!! from my heart---TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[@chrisw4069]

​@@foxmulder4308 Was 16-yrs old in 78 when I first heard Full House and I was hooked, no pop BS back then! They were always touring in the 70's/early 80's, and they were always great! In late 70's Peter Wolf danced up a storm on stage, and the entire band was moving non-stop--hard rock energy!

[@davegreen1006]

Class

[@fortred735]

They were still the exact same band on stage. Just because Bruce Springsteen turned Hungry Heart into a hit doesn't mean he was Frankie Valli. As popular and as pop music a couple of their hits got, the band remained pure unadulterated raw musical energy. They might have been playing a little bubble gum rock at the end, but they were blowing big bubbles on stage musically.

[@melissademeo1903]

This band is bad ass!!

[@tylermcauliffe1065]

The rhythm section is absolutely rock solid. My god.

[@georgehenley749]

Love me some J. Geils Band Live

[@eileenfalvey6341]

My J Geils

[@chrispalmtag3243]

Truly the greatest live band. In terms of just music and a real live show. I mean I seen them on day on the green with Nazareth, UFO and Thin Lizzy . The last time Gary played with them and the headliner was journey. Really ? Journey? I mean after hair of the dog, Rock bottom and the emerald and J Geils doing mad man. Their sanctuary your. Who really wanted to be loving touching squeezing. I mean if journey opened it would have been cool. Then I seen them at candlestick open for the Stones and I'm sorry. Not. They blew them away. I mean Peter and his mike talented. Magic with his live it stick and j. George thorogood was the first in the line up but mick was hoarse and I think for me. Geils again stole the show. On a list of top love acts. They are definitely on my top 5 of all time and I started going to concerts at 13 with my step sister kidnapping me to go to Cal Jam and I've been to every day on the green, mountain Aire and cal expo shows and in between. J Geils always put on a hell of a show 👊💯🎯 most underrated live act who should be more regoniized for the hell of a show the did 🎯💯👊s

[@anastasiapattison4393]

superb

[@snertster]

Loved 'em!
