  1. Sad. So Sad. It was the 70's when I first heard the band. Loved their greasy sound. A part of my youth is gone. RIP J. Sad day. Really.

  2. RIP. So sad to hear about the passing of J. Geils. Iconic songs that bring back fond memories of the 1970s/80s. Question: does anyone remember the band playing a concert at an outside venue in Connecticut around 1980? I'm not sure, but I think it may have been at the Pinecrest Country Club, but I can't find this in the tour lists posted online. I seem to recall that the power cut off during the middle of "Just Can't Wait."
