Thank You and Farewell - The Closing of the Fillmore East, Fillmore East, New York City, 6-27-1971, Part 2: The J. Geils Band

I just posted Part 1 of this album series of sets from the final concert at the Fillmore East in 1971. Please read my write-up there for an explanation about what this concert was all about. There were seven music acts in this concert, and I'm presenting them in their order of appearance. The second act is the J. Geils Band.

Nowadays, the J. Geils Band are best known for their huge 1982 pop rock hits "Centerfold" and "Freeze-Frame." But at the time of this concert, their music was more heavily influenced by blues and R&B. They had a reputation for being hard-working, lively concert performers, generally better on stage than on their albums.

The band did release one live album from around this time period. "Full House" is a live album that was both recorded and released in 1972. So there's a lot of similarity between the song selections on that album and in this concert. But there are some differences, and this concert is longer. 

Like most of this overall concert, this performance is unreleased. But the sound quality is excellent because it was professionally recorded and broadcast live on the radio.

This album is 42 minutes long.

Note that the track numbering starts at 8 instead of 1 because the numbering continues where it left off with the previous act. That way you can easily play all the songs from the whole concert if you so desire.

The cover photo is from this exact concert. However, the only photo I could find was a rather blurry  and black and white one. I used the Palette program to convert it to color. I then added the colorful blobs in the background from another picture, because the photos I found of this concert had a light show with that kind of imagery. (You can see it on the Part 1 Albert King set, for instance.) I couldn't do anything about the blur, but at least you hopefully get the general idea. 

UPDATE: On October 5, 2024, I upgraded the photo with the use of the Krea AI program. The image is still blurry in places, but not as much as before.
