THE J. GEILS BAND BLOW YOUR FACE OUT FULL

Geils Band's chart fortunes: it stalled out at #40, and its one hit single - a cover of “Where Did Our Love Go” - didn't even hit the top-40, ceasing its rise at #68. Unfortunately, Blow Your Face Out didn't do much to help The J.

A few days later, they performed in Detroit, Michigan, a city which served them well for live albums, as Full House was recorded there, as was their next live album, 1982's Showtime! Geils and the boys apparently decided to venture back into the live-album realm.Īs noted, there are performances from two shows on Blow Your Face Out, the first of which was on Novemat the Boston Garden, which was certainly an appropriate venue for a band that called Boston home. Although their next studio album, 1973's Bloodshot, found the band in the top-10 for the first time in their career, they were back down at #51 for Ladies Invited, which came out later the same year, and after a few more ups and downs with album released, J. Geils Band, who earned their first gold record with - you guessed it - a live album: 1972's *Live* Full House, which proved to be their highest-charting album up to that point, hitting #54 when its predecessor, 1971's The Morning After, had stalled at #64.

There's often a price to be paid for being one of the best damned bar bands in the world, and it's that it can be frustratingly difficult to capture your live sound in a studio environment. Geils Band performed the second of the two shows that would soon become immortalized on Blow Your Face Out.
