Showtime!

Showtime! is the 13th album (and third live album) by American rock band The J. Geils Band, released in 1982 (see 1982 in music). It was recorded in Detroit, Michigan, and proved commercially successfully but most critics consider it to be weaker than the group's two earlier live albums "Live" Full House (1972) and Blow Your Face Out (1976). This was the last release by the band before frontman Peter Wolf left the band.
