Outside of New England, they’re best known as the guys who did “Freeze Frame” and “Love Stinks,” but at home they’re the classic example of a bar band made good, with the quintessentially Bostonian touch that they were art students posing as greaser hoodlums. The Geils gang have that same local-hero mystique. Yet that was part of what we loved about him. Williams was the best player in baseball right up to the day he retired, while Yaz grunted and suffered and never had any fun. That’s why Red Sox fans cherish Carl Yastrzemski more than Ted Williams, who was an infinitely better player - Yaz tried harder, and needed us more. But it’s also that underdog spirit - everything comes easy for Tyler. Partly this is because after years of touring the globe, he still looks and talks like an Italian guy from way down Route 3. Tyler is a star who belongs to the whole world, but Perry, that dude belongs to Boston. It’s tough to overstate his strange grip on the local psyche. Hometown Aerosmith fans are different from other Aerosmith fans, and that mainly has to do with Joe Perry. Geils Band’s harmonica player, who still sports the hardest-rocking Jewfro in the biz.Ĭheck out photos from Aerosmith’s hometown show. How hardcore was this crowd? The six guys ahead of me in the beer line were wearing matching Magic Dick wigs, in a tribute to the J. The only thing missing was a Ric Ocasek cameo. Geils Band - after a Jumbotron intro from Denis Leary.
But Saturday they delivered the ultimate Boston experience, as Aerosmith played center field at Fenway Park with the rarely reunited J. Geils have both been dubbed “the bad boys from Boston,” not a city especially prized for its badness.
