Boston may have been home for The J. Geils Band, but the city of Detroit adopted the rock ’n’ soul sextet as one of its own. The group returned the Motor City’s hospitality, recording three live albums there during a 10-year span. Rhino Handmade plays a hot hand with an expanded version of the band’s first, “LIVE” FULL HOUSE.
This two-disc set contains The J. Geils Band’s April 21 and 22, 1972 concerts at the Cinderella Ballroom in their entirety, including the eight tracks featured on the original 1972 live album along with 23 unreleased performances. As a bonus, the set comes packaged with six playing cards, one for each member of the band.
Peter Wolf (vocals), Seth Justman (keyboards), J. Geils (guitar), Magic Dick (harp), Danny Klein (bass) and Stephen Jo Bladd (drums) recorded two modestly successful studio albums before making the unconventional decision to record their third effort live. Full House, as the document came to be called, is a fiery snapshot of a band coming into full possession of its powers and is considered by many to be one of the greatest live albums of all time.
Composed entirely of songs from the two previously released Geils albums, Full House easily outsold both and was the band’s first gold album. Rhino Handmade’s Deluxe Edition of “LIVE” FULL HOUSE includes unreleased versions of the original album’s eight tracks, including “Whammer Jammer” and “First I Look At The Purse” recorded Friday night as well as “Pack Fair And Square” taken from Saturday night.
Among the set’s 31 tracks are never-before heard versions of Albert Collins’ “Sno-Cone,” “Wait,” “Floyd’s Hotel” and “(Ain’t Nothing But A) House Party,” a song that would appear the following year on Bloodshot, the group’s most successful release during their decade with Atlantic Records.
Ben Edmonds, a writer for Creem at the time of the recording, pens the liner notes. He writes: “Home being where they’re supposed to love you no matter what, any serious band needs to test itself in a tough out-of-town arena to find out what it’s capable of. That’s what Detroit was for the Geils band, and it is no slight to Boston to suggest that the group responded to the warmth of the city’s embrace with the most passionate performances they’d ever given.”
