  • This is so good that it is ridiculous.

  • Superb cover buddy. Would love to have seen them

  • great job, thank you for playing good music in modern times.

    Two things that don't usually get along...

  • Miss y'all. This is Jeff in Tyler. Y'all gonna play again?

  • awesome!! ...not an easy tune to play!

  • I live in Gorleston mate, a village green, like the kinks tune

    About 2 to 3 hours from London

  • @13thfloor18 Oh yeah? I've got some good friends in Market Drayton. Hoping to visit soon.

  • @johnfright Nice, thats near London isn't it? stoke? do you come to England much?

  • @johnfright Actuallly i just looked it up and I dont think its anywhere near London haha oh well it is the home of gingerbread though,

  • Im glad i passed by, great cover man, such a great song

  • @13thfloor18 thank you, friend. Where do you live in the UK?

  • Yes! Someone (American no doubt) understands what Roky & co. were about. Thank you for the passion you bring to this evocation. Is the Acid Tomb empty? It's Easter everywhere! XB

  • This song could, and should, go on forever. Nice work!

  • Thanks for keeping Roky and his music alive

  • Awesome Vid!! Keep this alive!!

  • Love it! Superb rendition. Come to Melbourne, don't pass it by....

  • was

  • perfect!

  • great job..from Beijing

  • This is some of the best music, from one of the best bands, in Texas. They really blow me away, unlike any other. I really don't know how they hit it just right. If life sux 4 u, as it does occasionally for everyone, including me, this is better than 3 shots of tequila. There is no rush like Acid Tomb doing the Elevators. Oh, and no hangover like Cuervo! Sure wanna hear She Lives, live.  Like from the 2005 show? Can y'all help us hard core fans out? waiting for hurricane Ike. c u soon.

  • perfect. no jug?

  • Excellent sound !

    5 Stars *****

    Hans :o)

  • cool. I think it sounds pretty close to the origional.

  • far away from the elevators....

  • Thank you for this video, you chose a wonderful band to cover. I have had some really good times to their music and you played their songs great. Good Job!

  • nice work

  • I bet they're aware of those facts. They're not as stupid as you.

  • Christ, I just looked at what TexasTexan2 thinks is cool , RAP ? Looking to lift some music ? Ha one good thing rap did was to get us old fucks payed royalties .

    Just listened 3 times and marking this , it is that good .

  • Sadhouse,

    TexasTexan2 is wrong here because I've bought all the CDs etc of the Elevators, but wanted to see it might have like to hear this stuff live and these boys make a pretty damn good effort at it. It must have been incedrible at the time but possibly not enough people saw it, it was that far ahead!"!! Best wishes

  • If you were Roky you wouldn't be posting these idiotic statements.

  • TexasTexan2 you are a nut job , paying Homage to 13th Floor Elevators is 100% Cool.

    Yeah , I would love to time warp back and see them play again . We still play and occasinaly play one of these , much better then the old standards that even they were forced to play , one more Request for House of the Rising Sun and I would have shot someone .

    At least we got to hang out with the Originals , they influenced all of us back then .Great to see they still are, a new generation how cool !

  • I couldn't agree more. If it weren't for such people who obviously take the time and trouble to play such wonderful stuff we be poorer for it. And these guy's are bands in their own right. Stop carping you miserable git

  • I saw the Original so many times probably 20 times at Living Eye alone,think they were the House Band or just played there often, so many tried then to copy them back then,now over 40 years ago!Finding this group wow,how can anyone say anything negative about these guys.Payed it with just the speakers on for Lanier Greig saying someone sent me more Live Elevators. Lanier played on many same bills with them,he agreed sounds great,then I showed it was youngsters. Watched all , Excellent Work .

  • Ya'll are awesome! Please perform "Don't Fall Down" and "Splash #1" and then post them!

  • Thank you kindly. Be sure to check out the other new clip of "Slip...", and I'll be sure to upload "Don't Fall Down" soon.

  • You're welcome and thank you! Sorry stupid haters have to come on here and leave comments. They're too dumb to know what a tribute band is.

  • Make up your own songs faggots

  • Your mother didn't seem to think I was a faggot.

  • I have a real band I 'm a relo muscian with my own music , I'm sure your giving Roky ericson money after each show you play since you are maikng money off of Him ,?

  • TexasTexan2.. hope you sing better than you type..oh,I forgot you do rap..strike the singing part.. do you hold your gun sideways when you say " I'm gonna shoot you, sucka "?

  • I was talking about TexasTexan2

  • They really have done this justice. Well done and thanks,love it.

  • I've played the original a zillion times and I must say that this cover is really, really good!

  • It's cool but cover bands sucks make your own fucking music ,and they probably make ## off Roky so they can go fuk there selves

  • You don't know shit. If death found you early do you think anybody would care? Because you sound like a worthless fuck to me.

  • Great tribute to a pioneering bunch of guys who were persecuted in their time for exploring inner space in their music and their lives. Long live Roky, Tommy, Stacy (RIP), Dan, Danny, and all who've loved their music! Long live Acid Tomb!

  • Wonderful. No other words. True Elevators sounds,

  • Bloody well done!

  • I had the great fortune to meet Rocky in London last summer .a very nice guy and He still rocks

    so do you guys

  • good job guys..great band..u ever in the northeast US hit me up

  • Thanks from Montreal for keeping this music alive.

  • The Elevators just may be my favorite band of all time, cool to see somebody knows how to play their music correctly! Great Job!!!!

  • yeah, upload more! this is so amazing... with the right imagination it looks like original footage...

  • Awesome lead guitar licks, Stacy would be proud.

  • More uploads! More! More! it is your moral obligation to humanity!

  • Bloody cool! Kicks ass almost as good as the Elevators themselves! If only there was footage of them doing this song...

  • Hey, thanks! This clip is about 3 years old, so be sure to check out the clips from our recent Halloween show, on my page.

  • Oh I surely will m8, I surely will!!

  • BTW, any clips of Thru The Rhythm??

  • this made my xmas. Brilliant version. Spot on. Singer even looks like Roky!!! Have a great New Year boys. Best wishes from Shropshire U.K.

  • Weee! You boys are having fun!

  • The 13th Floor Elevators are one of my new discoveries...... and this is already one of my all time favorite songs. you guys really got it down.

  • Thanks so much! There are definately one of the most innovative groups of all time. Check out their new biography, EYE MIND.

  • Long time fan of the 13th Floor elevators here. Let me tell you. That was fantastic and I disagree, with Cockrell, they were extremely entertaining, I would say.

  • Well, thank you, sir!

  • Superb. Any chance of a gig in the UK?

  • Wish we could, man. How about some plane tickets? Just kidding.

  • I'm in the mood for Easter Everywhere.

  • As a bass player since 1963 and an Elevator fan from the start, there can't be enough Elevator Music on YouTube, so please post all there is, as these guys were one of the truly greatest psychedelic bands of all time.

  • band plays well, but Roky didn't just sing looking into the mic. This band needs to look at the audience or just remain boring.

  • They only play about every two years but I'll let them know. It will probably fall on deaf ears since they concentrate more on the music than theatrics.

  • sounds great.

  • Thanks guys! Love your work, as well.

  • Thanks, we can't do the elevators as well as you guys, but we still love to play their music.

  • very sppokkkadelic
