In a week of reunions the latest band to get back together, albeit for one show, is the J. Geils Band.
Peter Wolf, Magic Dick, Seth Justman, Danny Klein and John Geils will play their first show in a decade at the House of Blues in Boston on Feb 19. The band last played in 1999 in public for a benefit show for their hometown of Worcester, MA but did reunite for the 60th birthday of Klein in 2006.This show is to raise money for the International House of Blues Foundation and will be a one-off.
J. Geils Band formed in 1967 but it was their 1982 hit ‘Centrefold’ that was the big international hit.
Singer Peter Wolf left the band in 1983 and the band did record one more album ‘You’re Getting’ Even While I’m Getting Odd’ without him in 1984. Seth Justman sang vocals on that record.
