Roky Erickson - "Goodbye Sweet Dreams" Live @ SXSW 2010

[saltjunkie77]

Roky inspires me, and give me hope. A human example of rebirth and healing. Thank you for uploading this.

That douchebah on the guitar.... Will, or whatever the guy with glasses is called... He's such a dork! Step aside, Faggot and let the master do his work!

[vanilluv81]

@Hverglemer yew are rude. will is a hottie

[kizzle1985]

goodbye sweet dreams

welcome back roky!

[JoninTuttu]

Best and earliest version of this song is at least on live bootleg "Long Branch Saloon 1976", one of the earliest Roky And The Aliens shows!!! This "new version" is bit lame, but Roky seems to be into it...I´m sure band did their best too!!! Aliens and Explosives just seem to work better for Roky, without trying too hard, it kinda came naturally for both of those of bands...

[sgrroiii]

@JoninTuttu Once had a cassette of that show . Great memories , thanks.

[mongoosethompson8]

i dont think that dork ever played with roky again... roky be like shut up fu!

[watchoosay]

@mongoosethompson8 that dork is Will Sheff.

[machinesbreathe]

@mongoosethompson8 Are you kidding? They recorded an album together. Okkervil River knew their place when it became clear that they'd be playing with Roky. On the other hand they also don't have to be uptight stiffs in order to make you happy either.

I'm pretty sure you'd be having a blast too if you were Roky Ericsson's backing band. Chill out and cut them a break, man...

[camille110494]

shaggy from scooby doo plays a mean guitar and hes lucky he gets to play with roky

[dkd1954]

His backup band is unimpressive but at least he's out in public which goes to their benefit.

[jenren25]

I WAS THERE!!! He sang "I walked with the Zombies" right after this song! Amazing.......Amazing songwriter....

[saltjunkie77]

@jenren25 Lucky! (Napoleon Dynamite voice)

[bmtvenom]

hipsters kill comeback

[broken1394]

Kid in the Hawian shirt has down syndrome!!!

It's cool coz he feels the music!!!

I need to hear the latest record -

it had some great reviews!!

Come to England Roky we loves ya!!

[stjoeGULC]

awesome. its a great thing to see roky, will sheff, and the rest of okkervil river all on the same musical wavelength. the generational difference actually makes the collaboration more interesting.

[thpgdp]

Vill se just nu. Skägg o gubbrock åt folket

[MikeInVentura]

Wow! AWESOME!

[Billykid514]

ROKY IS WAY TOOOOOOOO TALENTED FOR THIS SUCK BAND

[Scrotemeister]

This is SO good. Never thought I'd see you back like this Roky....

[RazberrieTart]

Welcome back, Roky. I hope I can see you this tour.

[NoRegretsForOurYouth]

If only Okkervil River would release a new album.

[veltmore1]

Rock-solid performance !

[triptoheaveandho]
