Yep, I saw them many times. J Geils opened for near every major rock band. They ALWAYS kicked ass! I have the red vinyl Bloodshot album. They played Pittsburgh last winter. Word was it was Ass Kickin. These guys are one of my favorite bands...Great Vid...thanks

PS, I saw them open for the Stones in 74 or 75 at Rich Stadium, Buffalo, NY. Tickets were 10 bucks!

Saw Geils for the first time 11/14 in Detroit. Not bad for a bunch of old guys;). Back when I bought the Full House album in 79? (better late than never)I didn't like this song much, one of my favorites now.
