The J. Geils Band apparently isn’t letting the legal wrangling with guitarist J. Geils prevent it from putting on a quality rock show. The Boston band this week embarked on their first-ever tour without Geils, a founding member and the group’s namesake, and initial reviews suggest they haven’t missed a beat.

Peter Wolf, Magic Dick Salwitz and the rest of the J. Geils Band were obviously ready for a big-time party Saturday night at the New York State Fair’s Chevy Court.
The legal battles and subsequent absence of founder and namesake John Geils mattered not at all.

Geils’ performance arc.
