The Rockets - Oh Well - Live at the Fillmore - Detroit

[@SJSUPhil]

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

[@murphshall]

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 :)

[@acemodez3169]

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

[@everly-shadystudios9900]

Nothing beats Detroit Rock and Roll!

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

Just browsing covers of this tune in memory of Peter Green. May he rest in peace.

doing the same. Seen the cover by Haim?

[@genebryant3333]

ivpaul42 their live version was pretty hot.

[@ivpaul42]

@@genebryant3333 I did not think so. Like most Detroit rockers, they lacked finesse and tried to compensate with volume and showmanship.

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.

[@robbourassaguitarist]

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,

[@scootterpootter]

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. :-(

[@mbigbaddog]

Dave was the best for sure,just wish the band would have held together,they were great

[@Ric278]

Boom !

[@blakedawson2129]

I saw them in Seattle in about 82 on the bill with kiss or boc.

On this video, Marvin Conrad is playing Bass. Greasy was in a different version of this band.

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.

[@oregonlasalle]

When did they move the Fillmore from California to Detroit?

[@speedskater1947]

Yea, my thoughts exactly, and the date and the fact that I saw smart phones in the audience I would have to say too small a venue for Cobo Hall and way too late for the Grande Ball Room or the East Town Theater.

[@dennymcfastlane3159]

No No, they went for Cost effectiveness, they moved the Fillmore...EAST!!! hahaha Originally, this was the Palms Theatre, then The State, and now The Fillmore. The Fillmore East is gone, but the West is still kickin'!!! Today, they make a travesty of anything and everything!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stephiecorpse7877]

oregonlasalle ....my mum says there IS a Fillmore in downtown Detroit ....right by the Fox

[@dennymcfastlane3159]

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.

[@flugplatz21]

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.
