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..
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,
I can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to Oh well Now, when I talked to God I knew he'd understand He said, "Stick by my side and I'll be your guiding hand But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to" Oh well I can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to Oh well
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. :-(
So excited to see the rockets Saturday July 19 DTE Ted Nugent and another band will also be playing so if you're going , get there early Rockets go on first!!
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.
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.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
OH WELL..... IF IT WAS ONLY DONE WITH DAVE GILBERT HEY THE BAND IS TIGHT BUT NO DAVE GILBERT BUT IT IS GREAT TO HERE THEM PLAY AGAIN I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THIS COVE ALWAYS BLOWS AWAY THE FLEETWOOD MAC VERSION
+Robert Scott Check out the version of RUclips with Bob Welch playing the lead for FleetwoodMac. I am a huge McCarty Fan... he has that super tone with that Ampeg Scrambler. Nice the way, they inserted the Zep break.
Little hard to do it with Dave these days, considering... If you can find the Rockets Live album or CD, Dave is simply stunning on that recording from the Royal oak Music Theater.
great, great guitar by jim mccarty, but this definitely profits from twin guitar leads, as in the `79 version...and as for the vocalist, well frankly, dunno...
As many a times I seen them, they just never had the stage. Always bored with them and that my friends is why they never made it big. Thumbs down me, but its the truth
He's off writing country songs, making a gazillion dollars a pop. lol Seriously, he writes country music and has written some HUGE hits for other people
The Rockets had a following here in California as well. Great music has no borders.
RIP David Gilbert
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
Saw them at Jaggers in the early to mid 1980s. Those were the days.
Nothing beats Detroit Rock and Roll!
Yeah Buddy ! Was at that 19th annual Motor City Music Awards !👍
I remember seeing them every Wednesday night at the 24 Karat Club on Telegraph Road
The great Detroit Rocket s
Great band... Another example of Deeeeetroit rock 'n' roll at it's best....
Jimmy Mc your a tone master you bad ass you thanks for the music
One of the best bands i have ever had the pleasure to see live !
Just browsing covers of this tune in memory of Peter Green. May he rest in peace.
doing the same. Seen the cover by Haim?
ivpaul42 their live version was pretty hot.
@@genebryant3333 I did not think so. Like most Detroit rockers, they lacked finesse and tried to compensate with volume and showmanship.
Same here!
Detroit forever.
Great version 👌👌🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
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..
He was spanking that Les Paul! A little BRING IT ON HOME spilled out!
Great jam from summer of '79.
Jim Edwards was so great with this band. Wish they were still around!
Great live band. Really knew how to get the crowd going.
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.
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!
Loved them In BelieveLand… WMMS 101 “the buzzard” Cleveland !
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,
Y'all Rock ! Nice Les Paul
Love the Detroit Sound!
I believe Frijid Pink was also from Detroit, Again the Detroit Sound!!❤️
best cover ever
Boom !
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Oh well
Now, when I talked to God I knew he'd understand
He said, "Stick by my side and I'll be your guiding hand
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to"
Oh well
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Oh well
Pure moter city baby
I always thought their version of this track was by far the best most rocking version by far
I thought they wrote it.
+Smokey298 It's a Fleetwood Mac song from the Peter Green era.
Its good but no where near Peter Green's
Can't help it about the shape I'm. Can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin. But I know a good guitar player when I hear one. J.M
@@bozboz133 or even Tom Petty's
💀..FRRIGGIN BEEAUTIFUL, BABY..🎸✨️!!!
I remember watching them open for KISS.
At the Old Red Barn
They also TORE UP the Royal Oak Music Theater!
Badass Detroit Rock n Roll. Actually saw them at the Jackson County Fair way back. I've got two Albums. Not sure how many they put out.
Five official studio albums, a live one and an ep
I saw them open for Rush at the Saginaw Civic Center back in the day. Great show!
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.

Dave was the best for sure,just wish the band would have held together,they were great
I was 15 when i seen them at the palace
I saw them in Seattle in about 82 on the bill with kiss or boc.
Awesome
WOW!!
Olympia stadium, Detroit open for Kiss.
Great!!!!!
Holy Mother!
Great guitar work, you make that LP sing RIP Peter Green!
It isnt green
Proper Job!
The Effen Rockets nuff said
Great Cover
I seen them in Charlavoix ,Michigan with Molly Hatchet
hey chris, so did I, actually they were up there quite often as openers
Some 'Wheels of Detroit' ....'Let'ting Me Swim' through fields of 'Cactus'!
Im from Detroit where the boogie was born
Me too!
@@rowlffffff just about everyone here is from Michigan 😁 Charlevoix, Saginaw, Orchard Lake are in the house & me from Livonia
Saw them in 1978 open for UFO at the Hammond Civic Center.
Ufo can wail love the tune anyday, the guitar solos are. killer
I saw em' open for KISS at Olympia stadium Jan. 1978
I was at that show. Kiss was some show back then.

I saw the Wings Over America tour at Olympia...greatest concert I ever saw, pure magic !!!
PETER GREEN FOREVER !!!! JIM MC CARTY LEGENG GUITAR SALUDOS DE ARGENTINA
Isnt peter green.
So excited to see the rockets Saturday July 19 DTE Ted Nugent and another band will also be playing so if you're going , get there early Rockets go on first!!
More more....encore......
Great with a quote from Cat's Squirrel
Big Jim McCarthy, two twin reverb blackfaces, great !!!!!! Legend...dime em out baby
kinda slick the way he slipped that Zeppelin in there...
Just like all the other copies I have heard of Peter Green songs. NO FEELING!!! That's what he was all about; the blues, man! RIP
If you aren't going to throw your own into it, then what's the point? That song, their style . . .
That must be the Spinal Tap sustain level on that one
Their cover of this song was hands down better than the original.
Grew up on the local bands, yup !
The original Rockets were the backup band on some of the Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere album by Neil Young. Who are these guys?
Johnny b baby
"Yeah Jim and Bee were great
i don't know who the bassist and
keyboardist was but they were okay
but the singer however wasn't whoever."-📻🌐🌏🌍🌐..
Pete G. would have Love this....

Yeah...Dave Gilbert bit it on drugs, sadly.
@@jamesian-allen8725 I'm sorry to hear that
:17
What sounded like a whistle was actually a female screaming while peaking on shrooms thinking there are worms in my brain
😂😂😬🤯
💀..hosted them worms myself, time or 2..😵💫.hee hee..
The Detroit Wheels. Or sorta of. Just need Mitch Ryder
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?
I'm hearing the versions to compare it with the original fleetwood mac
Curious though..... Filmore had a Venue in Detroit ? Would be nice to know the Date of this Show !
Filmore was the old State theater on the same block as the Fox Theater
It was downloaded in Feb. 2011, so probably around then.
Was this 2011?
When did they move the Fillmore from California to Detroit?
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.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!
oregonlasalle ....my mum says there IS a Fillmore in downtown Detroit ....right by the Fox

Me gustó más la versión de Haim!!

+++++ !!
Cool,
Hey, I thought these guys were the "Hell Drivers"...Hmmm
I saw them as the Hell Drivers warming up for Alice Cooper
Pgh civic arena...openers for kiss '78

That's I look it up on Allmusic.com
that was recorded way before any of what u all know, way back in the beginning of the Free
i love this band BUTT this is NO Dave Gilbert i think they could have found a better front man ????????????
Not even close, though I take my hat off for the effort singer can't can't carry a tune ina Bucket!!!!
@@kevindoll4608 🤣🤣🤣 omg so many funny Michiganders in this comment section & no one likes the new singer he tried his best... Probably 🤷
great, great guitar by jim mccarty, but this definitely profits from twin guitar leads, as in the `79 version...and as for the vocalist, well frankly, dunno...
My dads cousin
nah... do NOT like this front man, at all...
Too slow. Pick up the tempo.
Great except the Singer sucks !! RIP Dave !!
No way this is better than Fleetwood Mac. Or even the original rockets I saw back in 77.
Far better then fleetwood craps version. Dont cry😢
A little bit too slow in my opinion.
Well you know what they say about opinions...
Get your ears cleaned out.
@@smwrbd Yes, that there are plenty of them and they are very individual and subjective.
@@stevemasaid8580 It doesn't seem like a particularly friendly way to comment that someone else has a different opinion than yours.
As many a times I seen them, they just never had the stage. Always bored with them and that my friends is why they never made it big. Thumbs down me, but its the truth
@chrisg9348..Woahh..(!!) That is some pretty harsh critique, baby..
that's gotta be be the worst sounding guitar at the intro
I agree with that but the song rocks.
What a band! One of the best I ever saw! So good that the Rockets album was the only one by ex stole from me on the way out the door!
Awesome! Windsor Canada here! 🇨🇦❤️
dammit
That Beotch... but she had good taste in music. Probably some good p***y
@Another Year 4 Me AndU..Now THAT is Funny, but Fckd Up !!😂/😢..
where's Dennis Robbins?
He's off writing country songs, making a gazillion dollars a pop. lol Seriously, he writes country music and has written some HUGE hits for other people
CrispyBacon yeah he’s been doing very well since he left the band. A friend of my dad’s so I get an inside scoop every now and then.
