Did the J Geils Band play with Peter Frampton at Kent State University


Rootley Sep 05, 2021

One user on this site says J. Geils band played at Fairfield University on Nov. 20, 1971, but others say the band was at Winterland SF on Nov. 19-20, 1971. Who's right? I can't find any further evidence to support either claim, such as posters or articles. Thanks.
