The Rockets played the Canada Jam fest in '81, along with Heart, Ted Nugent, Loverboy and BOC.
I'm confusing them with no one man.

I wasn't trying to argue with or diss you. Anyway here are the lyrics in question:
Quote:
Oh Well
Written by Peter Green.
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 did some further searching and found that there once was a Canadian band named The Rockets - they later formed into a band called Crazy Horse and backed another Canadian you may have heard of named Neil Young. This couldn't be the band you cited, since they had long since broken up and the leader OD'd (Neil Young wrote a song, "Requiem for The Rockets" about this).
After even further digging, I did see a reference to a purportedly Detroit band named The Rockets that released a cover of Peter Green's song "Oh Well" (several others have done covers of this song too).
