The Jets - Rocket 2 U (Live 1988)

[@vpena6626]

I wish the 80s never ended... best music era

[@mitzithompson6585]

Absolutely

[@AngelofAnguish]

AMEN or LIKEWISE! In my opinion, the 80s WERE, and ALWAYS WILL BE, "THE PINNACLE OF CIVILIZATION!"

[@HoopCITY76]

Thanks to KZbin, it never did!

[@ronaldhawkins974]

Me too 😀

[@chinatownboy7482]

With the worst clothes and hair.

[@BBoyFast1000]

The radio sucks these days.COME BACK PLEASE!

[@legendaryTMNICO]

They should be playing jets songs on iHeart80s on iHeartradio.

[@steveferguson823]

Yes.

[@gabstanace2]

Haini, the lead vocal here, was such a cutie pie!

[@christopherramon-reid2000]

gabstanace2 😍👍😍👍

[@posterboy815]

He still looks great!!!

[@jocklynsquriewell160]

@@posterboy815 yep, he sure does. Still the cutest of the boys

[@alonzotanner1226]

@@jocklynsquriewell160My cousin who is a decade older than me always said he looked funny. Like a Tongan who was transitioning into looking completely white but stopped 80% into the process lol. She always had the hugest crush on Rudy the drummer. She said he always had the biggest sex appeal and wished he was in the front more. I personally can see why Haini is popular though. He does look almost white so his look is more universal than the others who look definitely very Polynesian in features.

[@4mydearlady]

Back in the day when you had to be talented to be famous.

[@seanpowell1661]

Exactly!

[@guywilliams6569]

Hahahahahaha... yeah, SO much "talent" in display here... hahahahaha...

[@legendaryTMNICO]

They should play this song the clubs.

[@estevanmontes8647]

They aint playing here. Look at the drummer and check out the guitar

[@mr.c5217]

Look carefully hes not singing all the parts

[@RandomX856]

Awesome! I've been a Jets fan since 1986. This is the first time I've seen this performance. So awesome!

[@VideoCentrale]

Liz and Moana just killed it \m/

[@VinBad007]

Wow! Actually singing live! Something the so called talents of today's pop music scene might want to try.

[@dickersonbilly]

They did try and failed

[@arethamorgan6613]

Vinbad, l know right? 😂

[@zeebo8965]

For all the dummies saying there's only 3 ppl clapping at the end, this was a studio recording meaning no audience, ppl clapping would of been behind the scenes ppl smh

[@cornwalldragon4617]

@A Design The lead singing is live. The music and backing vocals during the chorus are recorded.

[@cornwalldragon4617]

@A Design Whatever you believe. Those mics were active if they can pick up the hand clapping.

[@MrNostalgiaX]

Hell yes! You can tell Haini is singin this live. That's what I'm talkin about! These people dont have to do anything to prove anything to anyone! They've got it all!

[@luigigunner]

right up until the initial high note before the break, that was the original track and again before the rap!!!

[@MrNostalgiaX]

@@luigigunner Oh yeah the backgrounds are pre-recorded my fault I forgot to say yes, but you can also hear the others are trying to sing on top of the backgrounds too so it don't bother me. The key is Haini singing live cuz he's the lead.

[@luigigunner]

@@MrNostalgiaX he did a great job!

[@geoffm3031]

They're still playing! Just saw them live in Las Vegas and they can still jam.

[@Qibilii]

These guys are the greatest...I remember break-dancing with my long lost friends to this song in the early 1990s.

[@arethawhite3712]

My favorite jam by The Jets!!!! Love the video also 👍😍!!!! Love the 80's!!! Love this talented family ❤️💖👍🤗🙂!!! Thanks for sharing this 👍💖💖!!! God bless 🙏!!!!

[@BBoyFast1000]

i loveTHE JETS & THEY SINGIN LIVE... RARE IN THE LATE 80'S!1

[@lillianbrown3252]

Glad that the jets are still together and still sound the same.you go guys!

[@writers_delight]

I love their music. Such a multi-talented family of musicians/singers/performers.🎵🎶🎸🎹🎤🥁🎻

[@MostHighJem]

I absolutely, totally, and completely LOVE this video 😍! It's the only one I have found of them performing live from that era! They were so entertaining and their show was so tight and on point! I would love to hear a vocal from back then with Elizabeth singing live. 😊

[@billaccord717]

I did not really care for THE JETS when they first came out. But now, I love them. They are too cool and talented singers and musicians.

[@gregblaster9776]

I TOTALLY AGREE

[@jjh2456]

And they are singing live. They are not lip syncing this.

[@frenchanthony2226]

They were all talented but, Elizabeth had an incredible voice!!!

[@karenbannister2300]

I love his lisp! It doesn't matter he has a beautiful voice

[@MsJustme1001]

In the words of the late, great Prince Rogers Nelson, "the microphones were on!" They did that!

[@walkerpantera]

Terribly cute. altho how many people were they performing for - at the end the applause sounded like 3 people in the audience. i LOVE the 9 minute remix club version of this.

[@paigesmith6548]

L💙VE The Jets🎼🎵

[@JoelBinas-lu2nh]

80s is the best era for music...no doubt...

[@MCWAY1]

This is the only song I heard where the guys sing the lead.

[@bobbycunningham7784]

MCWAY1 Rudy sings co lead on la la la means i love you

[@jeffkozak7913]

The Jets should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for Sure !!! If not Let's get em in there like Yesterday !!! 🙂

[@sherrywashington9495]

[@OrdinaryG33K-SF]

They were so talented!

[@arnulfob3454]

Those moves are so smooth 😮

[@willierollerskating8642]

This is a really QUAlity sound! Love my 80sss theee best!!! :)

[@regcart]

THE JETS ROCK!!

[@azkeyz]

The jets continue to blow my mind. It's as if every sound from this grenra is incapsulated in the jets. I don't know how they manage to do it , but they sure do. I think this is my second favorite jets song next to ( all over him )

[@steveferguson823]

Was at that concert. With friends.

[@wendellprince385]

i like this song listen to this song make me dance

[@hermsolis2981]

[@nunile18]

they can rock it very soulful and they can dance too what happened to them they were very good

[@avedahusniyahadara]

I dannced so hardcore to this song in 4th grade, at a dance! hahahaha 1988

[@maineindividual5202]

Background vocals and instruments may have been pre recorded but appears Eugene singing lead was actually singing. Boy had a damn sexy voice

[@robertclark6349]

That's Haini. Eugene left the Jets in 1987.

[@maineindividual5202]

@@robertclark6349 thanks. Very similar voices but Eugene's I think was a bit sexier (as was he in general). No one ever hears any new stuff from Eugene these days? What happened to him?

[@rockwelltheturntablefiend3382]

Very nice collection, AND quality. Thanx for sharing it. I've already "borrowed" a couple singles. LOL

[@samwright285]

I LOVED THE JETS....EASILY 5 or 6 great songs from them.

[@djpjrn]

Nice HAINI!

[@user-fh8vv9od9r]

当時ビデオにとって１０００回くらい見た、懐かしい

[@zapwatt]

Okay, so he's singing the verses but there's clearly a recording on the chorus. Did anybody actually play their instruments live in this appearance? Guitar was a prop. Maybe keyboards too.

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Nope, I think the vocals were the only thing done live, here. There's definitely playback on the bridge.

[@nowdid]

Those two boys at the end made me laugh

[@CoolAce1]

Is it the big dude who sang Love is the Answer on their late 90's album? If it was, that was the best version of this song. What a great voice. Why isn't it on the internet? So many other versions are.

[@markco4911]

This is what we call real music.

[@sageywavey]

Gets no better than this

[@wilsord11]

Basically all I’m trying to do is get some.. “the ONLY thing”. don’t call me for nothin else.. lol

[@Loy.Francis]

The whole video I only watched Liz and Moana dancing lol

[@sainttrunks1982]

Haini REALLY Looked like Andrew Ridgeley in the 80's.

[@arethawhite3712]

I agree 💯 percent with you on that comment!!!! I love this talented family 💙. Peace out from Bunn NC ✌😊👋👋.

[@calisongbird]

Haini and his lisp 😂

What??? They we're jamming and it sounds like 4 people clapping at the end..lol

[@Lovejazz01]

Herman Carter right! 🤨

[@zeebo8965]

Um this was a closed recording (there is no audience).... the people clapping would of been workers.... smh

[@pinsam1]

Is it me or did some of them used to lisp? No matter what they are still HOT!

[@calisongbird]

pinsam1 yes, at least couple of them had pronounced lisps

[@guywilliams6569]

USED TO!?!??!?! How can you NOT hear it, its TOTALLY distracting!!

[@ronaldhawkins974]

Absolutely love it ☺️

[@19thriller83]

His real voice is amazing

Classic😄👍

[@FlexManny]

I hope Unsung does a bio on them, soon!

[@LFJ_Utalk]

[@Lovejazz01]

FlexManny yep I hope you saw it! If not catch the rerun!

[@robertclark6349]

Pretty sad how the family turned on each other.

[@frankturchiaro1346]

This is what you call singing, not this garbage today.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

There vocals are just as good live

[@ejones9924]

They can jam too

[@Marcel_Audubon]

I think one of the boys is missing ... weren't there 8 siblings?

[@robertclark6349]

Eugene had quit the Jets the year before.

[@thecouldntbe]

You could make a line dance at 0:21.

[@DerekMcDouglas]

Japanese weren't familiar with the ABC Soap opera All My Children.

[@Monstermack40]

LOL. they're not even close to being Latin, if you're going to be a bigot, at least get your nationalities correct.

[@robertclark6349]

I thought they were Hispanic when I was a kid. I didn't learn about the Island countries until I was in highschool and met a few students from there.

[@chung2055]

Y see a lot of the Jackson 5 style of dancing

this was the period when brother Eugene left, to form the Boys Club, with Joe Pasquale.

yeah (all over him) is a awesome song

[@chinatownboy3368]

Eddy on keytar. Wow!

[@damezydemo]

BELIEVE OR NOT IT "MAGIC"... "CROSS MY BROKEN HEART"!1LOL

[@leathercowboybob]

actually the clothing here is tame compared to the videos you see now, and they still dont have TOO much cleavage showing. But from what I understand, wanting the girls to show more cleavage is what started the eventual breakup between them and their manager. Of course this is speculation and not proven fact.

[@billaccord717]

From what I have read, The Jets are a very religious family. So naturally they wouldn't want the Jets Ladies dressing too flashy showing their T&A's.

[@dnk127]

These talented girls had too much class for this business.

[@frenchanthony2226]

Unlike most today the.Jets had talent. Specially Elizabeth. They didn't need to show skin or act overly sexual.

[@Loy.Francis]

Yeah maybe that is one thing that made MCA dropped them. There is an interview with Moana that i watched that they were advised to do plastic surgery and loosing weight.

[@robertclark6349]

@@Loy.Francis MCA was facing bankruptcy by 1990. The had to cut their artist roster down and since the Jets record sales were slipping badly by then they were dropped.
