	9:09pm efd: nice timing, Ken. And welcome to you and Uncle Michael!
	9:10pm Mailman Tom: I went to see the J.Geils band at the Fillmore East back in 1971
	9:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: A friend has a friend speaking at a conference at Harvard and I'm riding shotgun on the road trip.
	9:14pm Stevel: This is what live shows were supposed to be like!
	9:15pm Switchblade Batman: What up @EFD and peoples
	9:15pm Dominick: so good
	9:17pm IFisher: stonking
	9:18pm fleep: right in the pocket

	9:23pm Bootsie: Happy to be here! Welcome back.
	9:24pm Switchblade Batman: Glad to be here. Liking the tracks so far.
	9:24pm Julie M Brooklyn: So many tributes this year and last. So sad. But we'll always have the music, and it's good to hear it.
	9:24pm Uncle Michael: Please promise me Sno-Cone.
	9:26pm Switchblade Batman: I was craving italian ices like mad today @UncleMichael lemon, cherry or rainbow.
	9:27pm efd: I think that can be arranged, UM. Live or studio? (though if the live is super-long that may rule it out anyway)
	9:27pm Switchblade Batman: Ooh live? Who's playing tonight?
	9:28pm Uncle Michael: I think the Blow Your Face Out version is 10 times hotter than the studio. Not sure about the length.
	9:28pm Mailman Tom: Sno-Cone was one of their best songs.
	9:29pm efd: length is manageable!
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: whew!
	9:31pm Matt F: I Djed a friend's wedding once and this one was a real crowd pleaser.
	9:31pm efd: duly noted, Matt!
	9:31pm Dave in SoDak: My Ex-Wife's current husband and his ex-wife are the bride and groom with the gas masks in the video for "Love Stinks."
	9:32pm Ajax: J-Geils goes reggae in '73? Way ahead of the curve! Thanks for the tribute Evan, looking forward to it.
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: this track still holds up beautifully.
	9:33pm efd: whoa whoa whoa, slow down Dave in SoDak! That is bizarre!
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: hi Evan; Funklettes ...so, by the look of the playlist so far, does this mean you're only going to play the really good and excellent J Giels Band? (before they tarnished their reputation with "love stinks" etc.)
	9:33pm Dave in SoDak: right? weird but true.
	9:33pm Uncle Michael: So, the one time I saw the JGB live was in Clay Pigeon's neck of the woods. It was at the fairgrounds in Des Moines, IA in 1975. They were second on the bill, after Pure Prairie League and before Foghat and Santana. When Wolf started doing mic stand pole vaults, I was all in.
	9:34pm Dave in SoDak: Filmed in Mpls.
	9:34pm efd: coel, your observation is correct (though I still kinda like "Love Stinks")
	9:37pm coelacanth∅: haha! well, what established rock band didn't start "slipping", shall we say, toward the late 70s, after all.
	9:37pm Bootsie: LOVE STINKS had some great tunes; "Night Time," "Come Back,""No Anchovies, Please"...
	9:38pm Bootsie: Ditto FREEZE FRAME, especially "River Blindness."
	9:39pm Uncle Michael: THANK YOU!
	9:39pm Bootsie: 17-year-old me was obsessed with "Angel In Blue," of course.
	9:40pm common: Thanks evan
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: hmm - "come back" is making "i may have liked that one" sparks in my head; but i don't remember it. (maybe i'm mixing it up with the thin lizzy song?)
	9:41pm Mailman Tom: Mucho Gracias
	9:43pm Bootsie: @coelacanth∅ perhaps Evan will play it...?
	9:45pm efd: I saw Greg Cartwright commenting on Facebook about J. Geils last night, and this song sounds very Reigning Sound-ish to me.
	9:45pm efd: Not to mention they had a song with the same (or very similar) title
	9:46pm efd: surprise Love Stinks track after all! Not "Come Back," though.
	9:47pm Bootsie: OH YEAH!
	9:47pm Bootsie: Still killer.
	9:48pm Matt F: This version of Night Time really holds up! I remember it was a WBCN staple, heard it long before I heard the Strangeloves.
	9:48pm pantz: This is the show America needs.
	9:49pm Uncle Michael: I don't think there's a song this band covered that I didn't hear before the original.
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: oh,okay... i did like this one. i just put the record on the shelf one day and forgot about it. happy to be reminded that the hits didn't fully represent what they were still capable of.
	9:53pm Brian in New Orleans: man what a great show!!!! Love Geils and am from Boston ...thanks WBCN OOPS I mean WFMU...
	9:53pm efd: I've done that with too many records myself, coel
	9:53pm efd: Brian, being from Boston myself I'll take that as a high compliment! :)
	9:54pm Stevel: What a set!
	9:55pm Brian in New Orleans: thanks EFD...maybe we bumped heads at a "Gang Green'' show at the RAT
	9:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: This is the tribute I was looking for. Thanks, efd!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: Yes. - i'm Thankful there's someone at fmu who knows how good J Giels was.
	9:57pm Chop Scott: College time '80's in Boston I worked as a doorman for the condo Magic Dick lived in. Spent a fair bit of late night time in good chat. I think I still have a Dave Dyke and the Blazers I never gave back.
	9:58pm Joe B: Until this week, Rage in the Cage was the most played J Geils Band song on WFMU (covering only from 2001 when the playlist system came in). Guessing that won't be the case for long.
	9:59pm chad from oregon: I hope that efd might have a tribute to the now late mother of Dave Letterman tonight. Maybe a song about pies?
	10:01pm Tommy Jack Haynes: I thought Tom Petty's "Don't Do me Like That " was J .Geils for years
	10:03pm Tommy Jack Haynes: I didn't have a strong opinion about J. Giles ,then saw them live in 75' and they blew me away
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: i'm grateful i had an older brother who was pretty hip. he got full house when it came out and it ripped me open, a little more.
	10:04pm Nate K: I watched a video of a cover "Where Did Our Love Go" last night that was amazing. With you on the live albums, EFD.
	10:05pm Joe B: Their version of I Do was a minor hit, made their best of LP. but it became a bigger hit in 83 when it was the single off the live album Showtime
	10:05pm Carmichael: Heya Evan, getting off work late. Play some good music.
	10:06pm Switchblade Batman: Triple....
	10:07pm Carmichael: Did someone die?
	10:07pm Switchblade Batman: Can't wait for the surfer blood set next week, I saw them play at Siren Fest and they were great
	10:08pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: Charlie Murphy. R.I.P.
	10:09pm Switchblade Batman: you know its so weird, Charlie Murphy, Prince, and Rick james are all gone. It feels so wrong
	10:10pm Patster: Went to see J. Geils at the Garden in 198?. Drank a bottle of Jack before they went on and passed out.
	10:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Growing up in NewHampshuh here, in the cultural media reach of Bawstin - J. Geils were definitely a thing. Deffo one of those bands that informed us of the R&B originals they covered - back before interwebz & everything being available all the time...& of course legendary for bringing it Live...Peter Wolf was a legendary Bawstin DJ going back even earlier, wasn't he??
	10:14pm Carmichael: Yeah, I heard that. I thought J Geils may have passed ....
	10:15pm efd: J. Geils did pass, Carmichael, sorry to say.
	10:15pm SeanG: thirteen women!
	10:19pm efd: i like the way you think, SeanG, but probably not tonight!
	10:21pm Switchblade Batman: love this one @EFD. Next week's show is gonna be on another level
	10:30pm Tommy Jack Haynes: WOW, what a set EFD !
	10:34pm Bootsie: Yeah, us proofreaders need the work, dammit!
	10:34pm Carmichael: Sorry to hear that, Evan. I am a belated fan ...
	10:36pm Bootsie: @Joe B "Rage in the Cage" was another big fave of 17-year-old me. Still love it.
	10:37pm Patster: Alas, grammatical accuracy is a list art.
	10:37pm Switchblade Batman: Ha @Patster
	10:41pm Bootsie: Is it time for "The Bedazzler" yet?
	10:42pm Julie M Brooklyn: I'm not casting doubt about that!
	10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Almost thot 'dama' here was the Kinks...which I'ma bet is not accidental...
	10:47pm efd: not sure why the right channel on this CD player conked out, it was working fine earlier.
	10:48pm efd: apologies to all headphone listeners in particular.
	10:51pm AS from MP: we love Alice
	10:51pm Jim Allen: Naughty Sweeties, yes! Thanks efd
	10:58pm Danne D: Chime chime :)
	11:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the digital age takes all the gratification outta Percussive Maintenance...unless yer just gonna go nuclear...
	11:01pm Danne D: WHOA!
	11:01pm AS from MP: going back under my rock now
	11:02pm Danne D: much better :)
	11:04pm Carmichael: We'll take the 30th caller ...
	11:09pm kevlicki: @efd are there still tickets for the Sweet Spirit show at Monty Hall?
	11:12pm Danne D: whoa EFD after dark there
	11:12pm efd: I couldn't say, Kevlicki - I suggest checking the Monty Hall shows on the ticketfly site
	11:13pm kevlicki: Efd thanks, feeling stupid looking at the site on my smart phone
	11:15pm efd: can confirm Ticketfly still has tix! Get there early for Boytoy too.
	11:18pm Danne D: WOOOOOOO THE BEDAZZLER!!!
	11:18pm Kat in Chicago: Get out your glitter gun!
	11:19pm Patster: Aaaaaaahhhhh!
	11:19pm Julie M Btooklyn: Ah, thanks Evan. It's the feel good song of the decade.
	11:19pm listener Bill from Dallas: Yes!
	11:21pm A.T.F.: "secrets up and down my arms" priceless lyric.
	11:22pm Bootsie: Yeessssss! Got to hear it before I conked out. Tho I probably won't be able to fall asleep now...
	11:24pm Julie M Brooklyn: Oh, man. I created a new section of the city called Btooklyn. So excited to hear the song. And @A.T.F., I think it's "sequins up and down my arms." I could be wrong....
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sometimes Mondegreens are much more Creative! Why give them up??...
	11:25pm A.T.F.: I am probaly wrong....well theres always next week...
	11:26pm Kat in Chicago: I heard it as "sequins" but those sequins could be hiding secrets
	11:27pm Julie M Brooklyn: Yah, Kat.
	11:30pm Julie M Brooklyn: Anyway, happily bedazzled, I'm glad to drift off with this track from pow!

	11:33pm efd: YES Patster, that Chief Kamachi track is killer
	11:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - okay...I liked this...in some ways...nice contextualization - which is already too big a word...
	11:35pm Kat in Chicago: Context matters!
	11:36pm efd: honestly there are a lot more whoa whoa whoas in that song than I remembered.
	11:36pm Ignore Function: Good stuff, EFD.
	11:40pm Kat in Chicago: I wouldn't mind at all hearing that Reivers edit.

	11:47pm Cooh John: This eyelids track caught my ears.
	11:48pm Andrew S: had eyes on work and ears on radio. The Sailors were a pretty funny OZ band but not for the easily offended. Kind of like Spider Babies in spirit but didnt sound like them

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from April 12, 2017

View efd's profile

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Wed. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)
EFD’s hair-metal-loving cousin Evan “Snake” Davies was dying to return to the airwaves in October after a four-year absence. However, this request was vetoed over concerns that his appearance might have had a deleterious effect on our Hellraiser efforts. He’s back today, though, spinning his favorite ‘80s (mostly) hard rock and hair metal just for you. Don’t (or maybe do) miss it!

April 12, 2017: RIP Jerome

Deffo one of those bands that informed us of the R&B originals they covered - back before interwebz & everything being available all the time...& of course legendary for bringing it Live...Peter Wolf was a legendary Bawstin DJ going back even earlier, wasn't he??
