I'm 17 and driving my brother, he was15, to his friends house. He puts this tape in as i pull to a stop sign, and he tells me his way is clear. As i start to pull through the stop sign the words FREEZE FRAME blasted through the speakers. I slam on the brakes to avoid what i knew was an oncoming car. There wasn't one; the road was empty, and my brother burst out laughing To this day, 40+ years later, he'll still bring it up.

That keyboard with the "flipped switches" was a Yamaha CS-80. One of the most iconic synthesizers of all time. Used by Richard Tandy in Electric Light Orchestra, Paul McCartney in Wings, Vangellis, Doug Johnson in Loverboy, Steve Porcaro in Toto, and so many more. Those flippy switches control the sound oscillators, filters, and other sound shaping parameters. It is a collectors item now and if you can find one that works it costs more than $35,000. When they die they are nearly impossible to fix because Yamaha used proprietary chips that no longer exist.

FORTY YEARS, I've loved this song. One of the coolest keyboard riffs of all time. Gotta love the J. Geils Band for cranking out classics like this. "Love Stinks" should be your next one. OR, if you like, you can do one of lead singer Peter Wolf's solo stuff, like "Lights Out" or "Come As You Are". Great tunes. I would also LOVE for you guys to do a song from the same time period (early 80s) with a rockin' rhythm that'll get your feet tappin - "Goody Two Shoes" by Adam Ant. Another classic. (To answer your question - the keyboardist's name is Seth Justman.)

That's an alto sax. We are used to seeing the tenor sax such as in the Hall and Oates songs which is much larger. Then of course you have the baritone sax. A soprano sax is not only smaller than the alto sax but does not have the curve to the bell but is just straight.

The J Geils Band were such a fun group with very catchy songs. J Geils was actually the guitarist, and Peter Wolf was the lead vocalist. You have now reacted to 2 of their biggest songs. You just recently reacted to Open Arms by Journey. "Centerfold" was the culprit that kept that song from going to number one.

Great band... Both of the songs you've done by them so far has been from the same 80s album. It was a great album... every song was a gem. If you want another from that album try "Flamethrower". It's got a funky beat and has some harmonica. They changed their sound for the 80s. You should really give their 70s stuff a listen. Most of the 70s stuff was at it's best with Live versions. My two favs are the medley "Wammer Jammer/Hard Driving Man" from their Live Full House album or their "Musta Got Lost" from their Live Blow Your Face Out album (you have to get the version with the intro included).

That guy you see playing a "small saxophone" is arguably one of the greatest harmonica players of all time, "Magic Dick and his Lickin' Stick." He was a huge part of their earlier, more bluesy music. They were an amazing live band and their live album Full House was incredible from the first to the last note. My favorites were Live Whammer Jammer, Looking for Love, Serves You Right to Suffer, and Hard Drivin Man, but every song on that album was so good.

"Freeze-Frame" and "Centerfold" are from the J. Geils Band's 10th studio album "Freeze-Frame" (released 10 Oct 1981), which was the last album the original singer, Peter Wolf, appeared with the band. The J. Geils Band made one more studio album, without Wolf, in 1983; and haven't made one since. The band had several Billboard Top 100 hit singles beginning with "Looking For A Love" in 1971, "Give It To Me" in 1973, "Must Of Got Lost" in 1974, "One Last Kiss" in 1978, "Comeback" & "Love Stinks" in 1980.

So, MTV came on the air in August of 1981 and I think my grandparents got cable shortly before this because I have a very vague (I mean, I was 3) memory of knowing about MTV and anticipating it. This song came out in 1982 and it along with their 1981 song “Centerfold,” and a song called “Fish Heads” by Barnes & Barnes (I loved it when I was little but don’t recommend-it’s another “Rock Lobster”) were the first videos I recall seeing on MTV. And as you can imagine, as a little kid, I thought the paint slinging everywhere was the best part! I think it became an indelible memory because of how novel it was-I remember standing directly in front of the TV to watch and my mom and grandparents pulling me back a little ways. I watch these videos now and can’t believe how OLD they look when I remember them being the newest, coolest thing. Edit: Jay, I’m pretty sure that’s an alto saxophone which is smaller than the more common tenor saxophone. But someone can correct me if I’m wrong-I studied strings back in the day, not woodwinds! My understanding of wind or brass instruments is minimal-like, I can usually identify the different pitched instruments (there are several types of sax with different pitches as well as flute, clarinet, etc) but I can’t tell ya much more!

This might just be one of the most jargon-heavy songs to ever sell a million records. If you're familiar with still photography, there's a bit of an insider bonus, but the song's good, even if you don't know a focal length from an f-stop.

In my youth, (i was young once), i have been to many, many concerts and NOBODY put on a show like the J. Geils Band, they would engage the entire audience at times and you left the show feeling fully entertained.

Our local band played this at a street dance on main when I was in junior high. The singer managed to hold that scream at the end. We could hardly believe it, lol. Best part.

J. Gail's is the guitar player, and the keyboard player is Seth Justman. Also, the horns on this song include, in addition to Magic Dick on sax, Tom Malone on trombone, Alan Rubin on trumpet, and Lou Marini on sax, the last three being a part of the Saturday Night Live house band, and the horn section for the Blues Brothers. Also, notably, two of the session background vocalists were Luther Vandross and Cissy Houston (mother to Whitney, and an incredible singer).

My first concert. My older sister and her best friend took myself and her younger sister to J. Geils in 1980 at Pine Knob. Without a doubt, one of my best childhood memories. Peter Wolf was such a great stage performer!!

80’s music, man…great music to dance to….we all LOVED the concept albums of the early to mid-70’s, Pink Floyd and Moody Blues types, music to listen to, but you couldn’t dance to it. The late 70’s gave us disco and the early 80’s brought us back to dancing! Love 80’s rock/pop!

This is a great song, however my favorite is: It Isn't Nothing but a House Party. Started a lot of parties back in the 70's and 80's with that song. There are a lot of other good songs on the album Bloodshot.

"Freeze Frame" and "Centerfold" were big radio hits, but far from J. Geils best music. "Looking for Love" and "Whammer Jammer" are what the band is really about. They were a wild bar band. The Hammond blasting through Leslie cabs was deafening live.

Freeze Frame was an album that divided fans of the J. Geils band. The album was mostly written and produced by keyboardist Seth Justman & lead singer Peter Wolf. It divided their fan base. Most fans of their 70’s R&B based songs hated Freeze Frame. I discovered them on Love Stinks. This is the album that I LOVE!

Watching you vibe to the music was the same thing we were doing back then. The music and the beat just set you to dancing and that's all we cared about. I hope you explore more of the early to mid 80's dance music. I miss it so much !!

This band blew me away live here when they opened for YES! This was in the early seventies.They are astounding live so full of energy! They made yes look terrible! I bought their albums! Love Detroit breakdown and Give it to me! The harmonica player was a genius! So under rated as a band should have been much bigger!
