When it comes to onstage energy; the Rockets are unsurpassed! The band gets and holds your attention from the very first note. The show at DTE was incredible, and the band really delivered; from the scorching tone and brilliance of Jim McCartys' Les Paul guitar, to the thunderous beat of Johnny Bees' drum kit, these guys were as vibrant and relevant as when they started all those years ago. Opening for the great "J.Geils Band" was a cool bit of Motor City Rock&Roll history in the making, and hopefully there will be a new Rockets album in the near future. With musicians like keboardist Danny Taylor in the band, the hits, as well as the new material sound awesome, and they leave you wanting more. These guys are the personification of the word "Rockstars", and they deserve it!
