The first live album by the J. Geils Band, 1972's Full House, is one of rock's greatest concert recordings—and this second live set stands shoulder-to-shoulder with it. Blow Your Face Out, recorded in front of a rabid hometown crowd at Boston Garden, doubles Full House's length without repeating any of its songs. Frontman Peter Wolf's manic stage patter, J. Geils' stinging guitar licks, and Magic Dick's burning blues harmonica light a fire under songs from the band's mid-'70s albums and R&B covers like Junior Walker's "Shoot Your Shot" and Eddie Floyd's party-starter "Raise Your Hand."
