Toledo"smoke arena "with the Rambling Gambling Man

These men were the BOMB in Asheville in '74 and '75. The best show ever. RIP Danny Keylon.

12/15/24. Still here. “What’s a boy to do “

Too bad they did not write it.

I saw The Rockets perform on August 3rd, 1981 as the opening for the Alberta World Rock Festival kzbin.info/www/bejne/e16ld6aie5qgb6csi=TphSSS_tykQevkp5

Easy to see why this band did not breakout. Nothing distinguishes them from any other hole in the wall bar band.

Thanks for posting! Harpos Detroit baby….

Songs hard as fuck.

How have I never heard of this band until today?? Killer rock n roll.

Sam them Atlanta Omni 79 opening for REO

Saw The Rocket's open for REO Speedwagon Atlanta Omni 79

Another badass band from Detroit. Where else?

Blues power!

Roth has the sexiest voice ever! The tights and stage show is cringe though. Luckily I was into Van Halen before all the video. Just lots of keg parties and 8 tracks blasic from someones van across the bon fires. I had my own image of the band and it was not this. Still, old Halen is one of my favorite bands that i listen to a couple times a week. Yup, an old rocker but I love new music too!

....Desire, here on KMET....

Better than the original.

West side six/24 karet club. 6 mile: Telegraph. Rockets,Romantics,Muggsy, Curbstone Beauties...........

I saw them open-up for Kiss in 1979 - Shreveport , Louisiana

My brother in law played keys

Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes version is only other version as good as this

I asked if there was a band called the Rockets. I am obsessed with this song. More! More! More!

Detroit was the heart of rock and roll. Rust in peace.

Colorado Sun-Day 1979 #2 Saturday, June 16, 1979 Heart Ted Nugent The Cars The Rockets UFO I still have my ticket stub.. Rockets surprised everyone with their set. They kicked ass..

Saw them open for Black Sabbath in 1980 Heaven and Hell Tour Columbus, Ohio ☠️

Truly love this version. It f’in rocks hard.

They have better stage presence than a lot better KNOWN acts.

What a throwback

Johnny "The Bee Badanjek" may have been the best pocket rock drummer .

I grew up in Pontiac around there they had lots of rock stations they played these guys been looking for them for a long time . Thanks for posting this.

Wat ne lahmartige Scheisse.

Big Jim 🙏

This song still rocks! Amazed I never heard any other hits from them. One hit wonders? Singer reminds me if Dave Mustaine.

They opened for Kiss in 1977 at the Spectrum Philadelphia. This was my first concert.

Saw them open for Kiss in 1978 Buffalo NY...

whole lotta love? just cheesier and silly...

Detroit Rock and Roll!

Okay, first time I am seeing the band that opened for MY GODS: KISS. Had no idea what to expect, glad to see my boys give these dudes some help. Love the opening riff. Hope they were not treated to rudely by The Army ....... KISS ARMY that is.

Great band! Jim McCarty played with Mitch Ryder, Cactus, jammed with Hendrix (Nine To The Universe lp), Mystery Train. Yep makes you wonder why they never went big time........maybe McCarty wasn't into the record company b.s. of the time. This was his band.

👍

Man big Jim was plugged in to Marshalls, always have preferred him thru a couple blackface twins...

Boom, grew up with the local bands!

I seen them open up for KISS in 79' wonder what happened to them?

Sadly I never seen them in concert growing up in Fenton and holly mich area but loved this band gritty rock n roll also loved their version of Lucille

Detroit rock n roll

Saw the Rockets at Pine Nob in 1977, always loved there version of Lucille!!
