Performer: J. Geils Band
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp. Notes: J. Geils Band include: Peter Wolf (vocals). Recorded live in Detroit, Michigan, 1982. J. Geils Band: Peter Wolf (vocals); Magic Dick (harmonica, saxophone). R&B-based blues-rock band J. Geils Band discovered relatively unlikely success in the early 1980s, peaking with the #1 pop hit "Centerfold." SHOWTIME!, culled from a live concert in Detroit in 1982, captures both sides of the band, the gritty and the glamorous, ending in a frenzy of the Motown-reflecting "I Do," the pure-bubblegum fun of the abovementioned "Centerfold," and the band's unbridled take on Wilson Pickett's classic "Land of a Thousand Dances."
Boston's J. Geils Band appeared at the dawn of the '70s as a high-energy blues/R&B band offering an alternative to the singer/songwriters, soft pop, and prog-rock then in ascendance. Powered by Peter Wolf's Mick Jagger-like showmanship and Magic Dick's blues harmonica wail, they chugged along powerfully for years, but didn't acheive star status till they incorporated synthesizers and pop at the turn of the decade, only to break up soon after.
