is this the greatest live band of all time?

+ 1 Vermonster: My first concert was the J Geils Band opening for Humble Pie in the fall of 72. This was the first tour for both since they released their seminal live albums: "Full House" & "Rockin' At The Fillmore" respectively. As good as Humble Pie was, J Geils was better; and, it was indeed all about their "energy."

I've seen 484 concerts since that one and I have only seen one band that remotely reminds me of the J Geils Band. That is Low Cut Connie. They are a fairly new band out of Philadelphia. Imagine a cross between the    J Geils Band and Jerry Lee Lewis and/or Little Richard and you'll get the picture.  They are an absolute riot live. If you're lucky enough to catch them, it will be in a small to medium sized club, which only intensifies the effect.    

This has been a great thread and I hope it continues.

I also hope that everyone has signed the petitions that are going around from either: "National Independent Venues Association" (NIVA) or "Save Our Stages." It would be a shame if we lose all or most of our concert venues.
