Home Town Heroes: Take Two

J. Geils Band - Bloodshot
1973

My first arena concert. J. Geils Band at the Boston Garden. I'm 14 and the 18 year old neighbor friend of mine (we both played guitar) convinced my mom to let me go. Boston is a long ride from my home town so of course, she's worried. We get to the Garden, it's festival seating, and it's madness. Me and my neighbor get separated. The lights go down and I'm wandering around this huge f*cking arena absolutely clueless.

"Hey, Don!"

Out of the 18,000 people jamming the place a group of my older sister's friends spotted me. I hung with them the whole night and they drove me home.

My poor neighbor spent the entire evening looking for me, and thinking my mom was going to f*cking kill him for losing her son. Ahhh, the memories.

Another Boston killer band! (screw the MTV years - this was the real sh*t)
