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 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.
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!

Are you people aware , That you can Buy the cds of this music with the people who actually made it ,, listen to the real stuff who wants some watered down talent thiefs
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 .
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

The only thing i Hate more than Metalica is people who still other peoples music just stay original stay real , if I was roky I would have law suits on your punk ass
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 .
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 "?
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!
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.
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.
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.
This is so good that it is ridiculous.
