![]() ![]() I bought my first copy of Full House on vinyl in 1972 when I was twelve after my eighteen year old brother told me he'd just blown his tweeters after repeated listens to whammer Jammer. Not that there is much wrong with that but it just ain't equal to Full House. This is one album that no collection is complete with out. ![]() Geils Band needs to kill and bury you under eight hundred pounds of Boston Monkey/Detroit Demolition sized boogie. The whole album is only about forty minutes long but that's all the J. It's one of those unusual situations where each band member is as important as the other. Magic Dick is a harmonica player who is tasteful as he is dangerous and plays with the band and augments the band and knows when to wail and (more importantly) when to shut the hell up. Peter Wolf is one of the best post-Jagger leadmen in the history of rock. Their set is filled with hard soul boogie and seriousass deep blues. The band is as tight as if they were all breathing from the same lung. But why J.Geils Full House? What's the big deal? About all I can say is you have to hear it. The tie is with the live side of ZZ Top's Fandango. Geils Band "live" Full House the greatest live rock album of all time? For me that'd be a two-way tie.maybe three-way.
