Augie Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Wow, way too young. RIP. I think he opened for the first major concert I ever went to. Eye opening for a teenager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The only concert that I have deep regrets missing was J Geils Band at Kleinhans Music Hall in December 1981. Exactly a year before, my prof let me take an exam early so I can go to see Springsteen for the first time. This time, same scenario - but a different prof wouldn't let me do that.............We had front row seats and I had give mine away to one of my friends, who never let me forget how great that concert was. I've seen them 3 other times, but as opening acts, twice at stadium shows with 4 acts, and once a few years ago, with J and with Peter barely able to stand up - something is really wrong with his legs. No side of a studio album has rocked harder than side one of Hotline: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 And Keith Richards is still alive... Keith explained it all in his book. 1) he used pure lab grade "product", rumours of the supplies allowed into the US for the 1972 tour are a fun read. 2) he knew when he was high and that he couldn't go past that level, so he did not imbibe in his "product" beyond that point. Those who took another dose were foolish and soon dead. That is all... RIP to J Geils, big fan outside of the sell-out stuff which was huge during 2nd year of high school.

shrader Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 My college's band played Centerfold regularly throughout the course of every hockey game. That song still puts me in such a happy place each time I hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
