This past weekend the J. Geils Band decimated their audiences in Boston. This is probably no surprise to anyone who’s ever seen them perform. It’s a visceral, religious, reverential, exhausting experience. What’s amazing is that the band hasn’t lost energy or drive since they started out. Take a look at these videos. Same song, same band, 37 years apart:
Orpheum Theater – Boston, MA (1972) (Cue to 4:32)
House Of Blues – Boston, MA (2009)
Gotta love a band that earns it every night …
