Wolf's fast-talking stage patter ("this next song will make your bladder splatter all over the place!") befits the hipster radio jock that he formerly was, even if some of the patois is lost on the German crowd. They perhaps did understand a comment about "jerking off too many times," though...
Currently, the J. Geils Band still makes occasional appearances (including one at 2013's Boston Strong concert) with four of the six members in the lineup: Wolf, Dick, Justman and Klein. However, their namesake guitarist has filed suit against the remaining members' usage of the name; Bladd had not been involved with the group since their first breakup in 1985.
And while a complete reunion may not be in the cards, House Party Live in Germany is a wonderfully rediscovered piece that shows how vital they were as a live band. With not a centerfold in sight.
