Roky Erickson & The Explosives - Your Gonna Miss Me

[kristlkrost]

Gooooooooooo Rokyooooooo You rock my world!! DUDE you rock it!

[DBChirot]

thanks thanks thanks for this incredible version and the great sound quality!!

every time i here this version it sends chills up

(like the original didn't--!!)--and down my spine really great work by the explosives!!

[rterrell10]

What a great video! Of course Roky! And I remember seeing the Explosives back in my Houston days in about 1984-5. At the Island - remember that place? They were so good then. And obviously Roky and the band are still super duper!

[andyinoregon]

Was this song the first example of garage-punk reaching the masses?

[elguerrero51]

[GamerGeek44]

Best Rockie Erickson Ice Cream Social ever next to 08.

[bozwan]

The 13th Floor Elevators captured the pure essence of psychedelia - I can't believe Roky sounds just like he did in the 60's - does anyone know if Rollercoaster was played at this concert?

[LastTree]

I wish I was there dancing.

[KennyMDFW]

The Explosives are gretaness - used to see them at The Crossroads in Nacogdoches, Tx. all thetime, and corresponded with drummer Freddie Krc for a while many years later. Cam King (guitarist seen here) is one of the finest rock/rock a billy pickers, and also a great singer. With bassist Waller Collie, these guys made memories for me and so many others - got me thru the early 80's when there was so much shit music being churned out ! Thanks GUys !

[maxeythecat]

Fuck me, he still has the voice...for all the shit this poor slob has been thru, he still has that glorious voice. I'm watching the biopic on Roky right now, and I gotta tell ya....it's a miracle his brain's still functioning for all the shit that's been done to him, especially that whackjob of a mother he's got. Glad to see he's back with us once again.

[SpaceRitual]

Yup, I just watched the "You're gonna miss me" last night and it had a sort of non-climatic ending, so I wanted to see how he's doing now and this is amazing!

[kimcheese89]

Wow, this is a good version. The drummer has got the vibe. Sounds like the Elevators again!!!

[paowibird]

Oh hell yeah!

[freeduckie]

Roky Erikson at Athen's Popfest w00t!

[jimihendrix1967]

it's so sad to see these guy who are not loyal to the original song .

[clubkingsnake]

What a bizarre statement.

[jimihendrix1967]

i mean the thing that they're playin' doesnt sound like their original "you're gonna miss me" no jugs , no harmonicas..

[maxeythecat]

I dunno...it sounds pretty damned good to me...in fact, I could easily see this song, had not been released way back in the day actually becoming a hit on present day alternative radio. God knows it kicks the shit outta most of the stuff that passes itself off as music that we're forced to listen to.

[galleywench01]

My god, man. We're fortunate to see this guy on stage at all, and I think they sounded fantastic!

[markzmoran]

i cant beliv'e how much this sounds like cat stevens

[localh2000]

got really interested in this group about 2 years ago (from my dad's old record/tape collection, old magazines)...got hooked...saw them on an Austin City Limits TV show, then they played NYC and Hoboken recently - amazing! i took 2 of my girlfriends, and we all agree that the guitar player is "really good-looking"...cam king is his name...god bless roky!

[nevihta5]

zakon! se vedno igajo to pesem. Bravo!

[BushInJail]

I caught him on Austin City Limits and he tore the roof off the place!! Roky is back!!! March 1 Webster Hall NYC!!!!

[jonsmele]

I just hope he is making a few quid out of this

[fuzz323]

still powerful!

[recordco]

what ? no tribute band?

[pepopedrol]

el día 31 tocará en el azkena rock

...no pienso faltar

[motharfoecar]

ya gotta see the documentry on this dude, unbelieveable he has returned to the music scene, awsome!!

[Blank1Reg]

Roky is back!!! That's all that matters.

[kittydeveer]

fuck of dude

this is the real deal

this man after 35years of NO medication

is here to kick anybody's ass

fuck off

the jug is in the gtr sound

can't ya hear???????

[hoctor]

the power of the jug is missing peoples...it cannot not continue, the legend of Roky without the jug

[diddywahdaddy]

Duane Aslaksen is doing the jug as good as can get as by the guitar interpretation and then some!! The Explosives rock!! Roky seems better than ever, he's fighting all those REAL demons, the jug of Tommy Hall is missing,if he wants to get back, help him then or listen to the GREAT Elevators recordings, or make a trust for Tommy Hall as well... maybe we'll see a reconnection of the two in 2010, if ever? Meanwhile,the town of Rokyville has got their sheriff back, and with a positive difference!!

[gunslinger32mag]

Dude, I totally dig that guy on guitar doing the jug riff. Its freakin' exciting! If people wanna hear the jug, though, I bet I could do it! Hell, maybe I'll buy a mic and a p.a. and pour out a jug of cheap Gallo wine (unless somebody wants it) and go from there!!! I bet I could do it!

[xz4q18]

This is blistering. The scream is still there. God bless him

[dlagrua]

Still sound good. The guy can still play and this is recorded live. This video is like something out of a time warp. Make one wonder what if all those years had not been lost.

[Garcia42]

The saints be with us. Love forever for Roky and the boys. Saw him in San Francisco early this year at the Great American Muisc Hall. Bloody brilliant and FUN.

Best show in years. Roky!!!

You are back with a vengence!!

[chuzzrocket]

unbelievable that roky has made it back from the edge. great to see him just enjoying playing again.

[TheRansomeBrothers]

He's back! Bloody brilliant!

[silkfarm]

Saw him last night in new york...never thought that would ever happen...roky's return is a blessing from the gods...

[Babyhowdy233]

Silkfarm:

"...Roky's return is a blessing from the gods..."

I could NOT have said it better! :)

[silkfarm]

he's still got it...

[xz4q18]

there's a lot of genuine affection out there for Roky.I'm watching this in Shropshire U.K. Brilliant. Top form.

[mstrmoog]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!

[klovsjo]

Roky is back !!!!!! yeah!!!

[elpaletero]

i saw him front row at coachella, great show!!! roky rocked it big time!!!

[PonderosaStomp]

Just saw him at the Stomp - great.

[oranger2525]

I saw him at the GAMH in SF on 3/1/07. He's back, and better than ever.

[Beaksa]

Quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen on YouTube... great to see Roky back and that voice still electrifying. Thanks for filming & posting this.

[pumpkinheadsteve]

Roky seems really confident here. It's good to see. His comeback show at ACL was great but he seemed insecure.
