Ooh...New Halestorm. Cool.

Guitarist Jeff Golub, who played with Rod Stewart and Billy Squier, has passed away.

Aww man. Saw him in his smooth jazz days. Monster player when he gets caught up in the moment. Much too young to leave the stage.

From Classic Rock Revisited:

On February 24, 2015, Eagle Rock Entertainment will issue the first ever release of House Party Live In Germany – the classic Rockpalast concert from The J. Geils Band – on DVD+CD and Digital Audio. [Pre-book Order Date January 30, MSRP $19.98]

The year was 1979. The J. Geils Band were touring Europe in support of the Sanctuary album and its hit single “One Last Kiss,” when they made a pit stop in Essen, Germany to perform on the famed television series Rockpalast. Filmed on April 21 at the Grugahalle, the aptly-named House Party Live In Germany features The J. Geils Band delivering their brand of raw, raucous, R&B-soaked Rock ‘N’ Roll in a solid 14-song set. The first half of the concert focuses on material from Sanctuary, while the second half blasts through earlier breakthrough hits, like “Looking For A Love,” “Give It To Me,” and “Ain’t Nothing But A House Party.”

In the 70s, The J. Geils Band developed a reputation for their faithful devotion to down-n-dirty bar blues (while most of their contemporaries drew more heavily from British blues-rock and psychedelia). As time progressed, their sound expanded into new directions and acquired more pop influences, leading them to score massive crossover appeal and commercial success with their 1981 album Freeze Frame and its smash hit “Centerfold.” House Party Live In Germany catches the band just before that key turn in the band’s career.

Track Listing:
1.) Jus’ Can’t Stop Me
2.) I Could Hurt You
3.) Sanctuary
4.) One Last Kiss
5.) Teresa
6.) Nightmares
7.) Wild Man
8.) Looking For A Love
9.) Give It To Me
10.) Whammer Jammer
11.) Ain’t Nothing But A House Party
12.) Where Did Our Love Go
13.) Pack Fair and Square
14.) First I Look At The Purse

thank you!

this is news I've been searching for.

I'm guessing for sure they'll have Ace, since he missed his appearance last year, and now he can plug "Space Invader"

Guitarist Rich Robinson announced today that the Black Crowes have officially broken up. You can read his statement which reveals Chris Robinson to be a kind of MEGA-DICK HERE!

[Don C]

Sounds like Chris Robinson wants to pull a Axl Rose move and relaunch the band his own people. No other reason I can think of to demand everyone else give up their equity in the band.

Yeah, but the whole thing is that much worse when he's trying to do it to his own brother.
