I lived in Mass/NH for 20 years and saw him and the band perform a few times in local venues.

In the early 80's I saw them open for the Rolling Stones in Munich Germany.
It was right after Centerfold came out.

This is one of the sucky parts of getting old ... friends, heroes, and idols dying off.

At the time Worcester had the "Worcester Centrum" . One year my girl friend and I caught the show every night of the New Years weekend.. it was a "J. Geils house party"

It was tough hearing about J. Geils passing.

That most have been a great concert In Germany. I"ll bet J.Geils did a great job. Peter Wolf (the woober goober) can work a crowd.
