The Rockets had a following here in California as well. Great music has no borders.

Damn!! I grew up listening to these guys on Detroit radio stations (101.1 the WRIF) and they sound as fantastic here as they did in the early 80's :)

Same. That guitar solo rocks, throws in a splash of Zep like it suppose to be there

I remember seeing them every Wednesday night at the 24 Karat Club on Telegraph Road

Saw them at Jaggers in the early to mid 1980s. Those were the days.

One of the best bands i have ever had the pleasure to see live !

Great band... Another example of Deeeeetroit rock 'n' roll at it's best....

I knew Jim was awesome crazy but he did not changed. And he may never change and that's the best. No zillions notes but just the necessary ones. He has them! Believe me..

The great Detroit Rocket s

Great version 👌👌🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

He was spanking that Les Paul! A little BRING IT ON HOME spilled out!

Detroit forever.

Great live band. Really knew how to get the crowd going.

Great jam from summer of '79.

Jim Edwards was so great with this band. Wish they were still around!

I got to hear Lindsey play this every night for a year...And it was never the same...

made in the motor city...great stuff!

Detroit guitar players know how to bend strings better than most. I learned a lot from Jim McCarty and Ted Nugent when it comes to bends.

Loved them In BelieveLand… WMMS 101 “the buzzard” Cleveland !

Love the Detroit Sound! I believe Frijid Pink was also from Detroit, Again the Detroit Sound!!❤️

best cover ever

Five official studio albums, a live one and an ep

I was at this show and they were incredible!! I think it was around November(ish) in maybe 2012 or 13. I never got to see them when Dave was alive, back in the day, but this singer was excellent too. Then I saw them open for Night Ranger a couple of years ago at the Rockin' On The Riverfront, and it was all new people, except the singer. It was like watching a bad cover band. :-(

How often do you hear somebody who knows how to get the sounds out of a Les Paul like that. I remember the Rockets at Captain Ahab's and Pier 500 back in the 70s and he's only improved,

If you aren't going to throw your own into it, then what's the point? That song, their style . . .

Is this the famous Ampeg Scrambler pedal? P.S. Love Transfusion came out in the later 70s and there was a earlier "tax write off" LP.

where's Dennis Robbins?

No Ballads, Jimmy McCarty one fine blues man, saw the first time at the Trading post east, their hit was freckles on her butt. I was huge into em, then they were gone. Why the new lead singer? Did the original guy OD? Always wanted to see Jim and Steven Hunter jam.

Your Mother is correct. History lesson: Bill Graham started the Fillmore East(N.Y.) and the Fillmore West(San Fran.). The East was originally a vaudeville theatre and the West is a Very old car Dealership, with a second floor converted to a concert hall. When Bill (R.i.P) Graham died , so did the Fillmore's. Actually, it was way before his passing that they folded. The East was Partially demolished, but the West still throws random concerts. Now, for the Fillmore in Detroit. This is just a Name Change, it never was a Fillmore. Like i stated above, originally it was built(30's?) and named the 'Palms Theatre' and then the 'State Theatre' and now...Fillmore. Only reason it's called the Fillmore just recently, is because it changed names like the previous owners/renters name changes. If i'm not mistaken, some of Bill Graham's family are involved in the ownership/rental of the Detroit Fillmore. If you research Bill Graham, make sure it's Bill, Not Billy---the evangelist. Thanx, C'Ya.

Fillmore is nothing but a corporate trademark now, owned by Live Nation. There were only two, East and West, there is now only one REAL Fillmore, the West. This was recorded at the STATE Theater in Detroit which is marketed by LN as "Fillmore". There are "Fillmores" all over the country. BS I say.

Me gustó más la versión de Haim!!
