    These guys remind me of summertime, outdoor concerts and partying my ass off! I become bulletproof again when I hear this tune. Good times!

    I love this song, and if y’all don’t know... these guys were notorious for their ability to PARTY with the best of them!! One of the most underrated artists of the 70’s. My favorite J. GEILS tune.🤙🏻🤘🏼✌🏻

    Didn't care for their commercially successful music, but when they were still hungry they lit it up!
    Bloodshot was my favorite album, it came in blood red vinyl.
    They should have been in the hall of fame long ago!

    Back in the day this band was everywhere. I saw them so many times. Made us all get off our asses and dance. Walking thru the Holiday Inn Charles River they were so proud of them. I love J. Geils until I die. They are the best rock and roll band to get it all started. House Party nothing but a house party!

    • @alpine8317
      @alpine8317 Před rokem +1

      How many times did you see them before paying a penny. Like a hundred times. When they could be outdoors they played everywhere for a summer or two.

    They should have been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame years ago and why they still aren't shows why that organization is a fraud. They along with Aerosmith helped make Boston a rock and roll hotbed.

      Jann Wenner of "Rolling Stone" magazine is a big influence on the RRHOF. His magazine for years pushed "Patti Smith" and she gets into the RRHOF. She had one hit record and it was written by Bruce Springsteen. She doesn't belong in the HALL and bands like Deep Purple, Chicago, etc...never get on the ballot.
