  • now how about some live footage with sound?

  • I remember hearing a story about Dave in high school. I lived on the other side of the lake from him. Something about his Principal suspending him for his long hair. His parents made him cut it to get back into school ? Just to piss of the Principal he wore a long hair wig upon his return and ran from the screaming principal in the hallway when he saw him ? I'm sure that isn't exactly how it happened but that is the gist of it. Always a rebel. Miss you Dave !

  • jealous???

  • Bald,beer bellied and broke,thus the Fuckits!

  • I'd have to agree with you. Friggin' half of them live down here in Florida now. Outside of that, I saw the Rockets a couple of times in the late '70s. Damn fine band. Always a good show. RIP Dave Gilbert. Dude was a helluva singer.

  • I saw the Rockets in 1978..the were the second act on a three band bill with 38 Special opening and The Outlaws were the headliner. It was at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. Place was sold out with 18,000 peopl and the crownd never gave the Rockets a chance...booed them from the first song....Proof that long Island is filled with ignorant douchebags that wouldn't know good music if it bit them in the ass. As I have lived on Long Island my whole life, I am qualified to say that.

  • The Rockets self-titled album is a forgotten gem.  I remember hearing them on the radio a lot in the summer of '78.

  • The Rockets had that Detroit rock sound exactly right. David Gilbert delivered.

  • Any Rockets footage is great!! Thank you!!

  • luved the rockets! would like to see some more footage since their stuff is so hard to get now. -- jamie in SCS
