Much Maligned Classic, April 14 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Showtime (Audio CD)
This CD is out-of-print in the U.S. It showcases a unique band at their peak and blows the roof off of similiar live albums of the time --no overdubs, lots of comedic interplay between bandmates. The horn section could "...turn goat milk into gasoline" as the Blues Brothers once commented, and Peter Wolf belts with the best. DO NOT be fooled by its anonymity -- this is a true-collector's classic.

Actually, the best BOSTON has to offer, Jan 3 2005
By Robert Dumas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Showtime (Audio CD)
You can't go wrong with a live J. Geils Band album. These guys were born to be on stage and during their '70s halcyon days, a better live rock & boogie band could you find.Unfortunately, "Showtime" covers live material from the band's least creative (albeit most commercial) period -- the late '70s/early '80s. Their previous live recordings -- "Full House" and "Blow Your Face Out" -- are vastly superior, but having all three live albums certainly provides fans with a great retrospective of J. Geils concerts over the years.
If you like hot, sweaty, blues-based boogie rock played with a good-time frenetic approach, J. Geils is the band for you and any of their aforementioned live albums will represent nicely. But, as I said, by virture of the more pedestrian material covered here, "Showtime" is the weakest of the band's live efforts.
Finally, not that true fans need a history/geography lesson, but J. Geils Band formed in the bars, pubs and clubs of Boston... NOT Detroit. The previous reviewer seems confused. Perhaps because Geils had a song called "Detroit Breakdown" he assumed it was were the band hailed from. They are, however, from Beantown.
Anyway, former lead singer Peter Wolf continues to make great solo CDs -- check them out, too; especially "Sleepless."

Geils at their most popular., Mar 19 2000
By "triggerd" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Showtime (Audio CD)
This album holds a special place in my heart. I was at one of the six(!) dates they did at Pine Knob Music Theater (Clarkston, MI), my first concert. Basically, this is a snap-shot of those shows. It's about 1/3 of the actual concert, it makes you want more. This includes hits like "Centerfold" and "Love Stinks", but it's gems like "I'm Falling" and "Stoop Down #39" that make it a great album. From the start of "Jus' Can't Stop Me" to the last cheers of "Land of a Thousand Dances", this album takes me back to being 11 years old and getting my first rock-n-roll experience. What a way to start!
