>From a strictly rock perspective, that said perspective not always showing
the harp in its best possible light, even the song Flame Thrower, very late
in the game for them has an interesting application of "harpage".
It's not so much a situation wherein he "cuts loose" and displays his
virtuosity, but it shows how the harp could sneak its way into places as a
lead instrument a lot more often than it does.

I like the song "Looking for Love" off Full House Live for some interesting
fast backing harp lines that I haven't heard by others. You can feel Magic
Dick is really into it.

Moving on from "Whammer Jammer" I wonder what the J Geils Band recorded that

is worthwile from the harp perspective?
I only own the early live LP and have since not followed them too closely, 
although it was impossible for a while to avoid a rather tiresome ditty 
about someone who´s "angel" was the centrefold; and I remember a live TV 
appearance on the German "Rockpalast" series, but where The Magic Dick´s 
role was a bit toned down to my recollection.
Did they make any other harmonica instrumentals?
What album/s, besides "Full house" is the best Magic D showcase?
(Last time I looked their LP:s were practically being given away in the used

record stores here in the Arctic region.)

Cheers,
Martin
