Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with The J. GEILS BAND!

So sorry to hear of the passing earlier this week of J. Geils, leader of the band who passed at age 71. Truth be told, if Johnny had to list ALL the concerts he'd heard live he'd have to then admit he's been to more J. Geils Band shows than any other band. See, J. Geils was SO popular in the Detroit area they could play 15,000 seat Pine Knob for 6-7- and 8 nights in a row a summer. They'd all sell out. How it worked in Johnny's teen-angst world is you'd buy tickets to go inside and watch one of the shows and then just go pay to park outside the venue, listen to the concert for free and play frisbee, drink beer or Boones Farm wine and enjoy combustible refreshments for 4 or 5 other nights.

Feeling this one tonight for that awesome party band from Boston, here's 'Hard Driving Man (Live)' performed where else, Detroit.
