![]() Geils put out one 1984 album without Wolf, but it flopped, and that was it for the band as a creative entity. ![]() Lead singer Peter Wolf went solo after the success of Freeze Frame, and that essentially killed the band. This meant I never got the chance to appreciate Geils in their prime. Actually, I knew their 1980 single “Love Stinks” but otherwise I remained unfamiliar with them until their smashes from 1981. Since I was 14 when Freeze Frame emerged, it was my first real introduction to Geils. The Geils Band also covers the Supremes’ “Where Did Our Love Go”, a track they initially released on their 1976 live album Blow Your Face Out. The band’s self-titled 1970 debut boasts “First I Look at the Purse” and “Pack Fair and Square”. From 1974’s Nightmares.and Other Tales from the Vinyl Jungle, we get “Nightmares”.ġ973’s Bloodshot delivers “Ain’t Nothing But a House Party” and “Give It to Me”, while 1971’s The Morning After features “Whammer Jammer” and “Looking for a Love”. Party presents 14 songs, with an emphasis on the band’s 1978 release Sanctuary that album provides its title tune, “Jus’ Can’t Stop Me”, “I Could Hurt You”, “One Last Kiss”, “Teresa”, and “Wild Man”. For evidence of this, we go to House Party Live in Germany, a concert recorded in April 1979 for the Rockpalast TV series. Both the album and “Centerfold” hit number one in the US.ĭuring the years that led up to these chart-toppers, the band still had the occasional moderate hit, and they became known as a strong live act. 1981’s Freeze Frame album sold well and it boasted two big singles, “Centerfold”, and “Freeze Frame”. Geils Band released their first album in 1970, it took them 11 years to become a huge chart success. Reviewed by Colin Jacobson (February 18, 2015)Īlthough the J.
