@vdelvalesmadre "You're Gonna Miss Me"

[keepondancing76]

Beck plays on harmonica on his "Mellow gold" album almost the same like the singer here in this video. unbelievable.

[rmmcclay]

Those are some real hipsters.

[carlos45703030]

Wow! what a great band, had not heard these people for almost 30 years, Please tell me: the trademark strange tremolo like sound ever present in their songs, is it the jug?

[jefffro1000]

@carlos45703030 Yep, it's the electrified jug.

[iscream22]

@tonybryce NICE

[ericynot]

How weird (and generally unknown) is it that the term "psychedelic rock" came, not from San Francisco, but Austin, Texas?

This song definitely does still rock, and I want it played at my funeral.

[hydraIX]

Awesome

[nsadler87]

I can't believe Roky is coming to Australia. WOO!

[tonybryce]

Note that John Ike is strategically placed behind the fake palms, and Roky's mark is in front of that. They had lost the snare drum and sticks in transit! (Clementine told the story gleefully for years.)

[EggsBenedictArnold]

You're gonna wake up in jail to the cops telling you that you are not allowed to whisper a tongue under the oath of their religion. This is true. That's all I know...

[Jomama1915]

This a great song! One of the best recorded. In 1966 93KHJ in Los Angeles played this song on their "Boss 30" list all the time. Kids could not get enough of it. Noticed that Dell Computers used the song in a commercial a couple years ago. Great memories!

[gogogadjetballbag]

Finally synced up. Genius,sir. I salute you.

[53gollinger]

Wonder what the Notes are on the Harmonica Riff?

[rturney]

Thanks for a great audio/video of one of my favorite bands! I saw them when I was around 14 or 15 at the Bellaire Gym. They were having rock concerts there in the summer. I saw quite a few there but none as awesome as the Elevators. I remember they brought a light show that was an overhead projector with a glass plate on top and colored oils and water drifting around. It was the summer and june bugs were floating around in it. They seemed to be moving in time with the electric jug!

[gunslinger32mag]

WITHOUT A DOUBT, THIS IS THE BEST SOUND OF THE BEST SONG ON YOUTUBE. Challenge me not.... THE 13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS!!!

[rturney]

@gunslinger32mag Oh yeah, I totally agree!!!

[laosuwan]

i have to say this is probably the most intense and moving rock song ever recorded.

[gunslinger32mag]

@laosuwan I totally agree. 

[Satyagrahaha]

Stellar video post-production to psychedelicize the the kinoscope tapes!

[uropeanson]

Wow, can I ask what you did to the audio!? This sounds more alive and vivid than my CD version

[gunslinger32mag]

@uropeanson the guy that did this fabulous video AND the great audio is a great man I admire that goes by PunkSir from time to time. He and I haven't communicated in some time. He is from Britain but lives in Spain now. Never met him as I live in Texas. Maybe I'll see if his old email still works. I think I'll give it a try now. Johnny is the man's name. I feel privileged to know his last name, so I shall never provide it! He's an audio and video wizard. For real.

[gunslinger32mag]

You're gonna wake up one morning, as the sun greets the dawn.......

[gunslinger32mag]

Gotta love this, no matter where you are on this planet..........Gotta love the Elevators.

[gunslinger32mag]

Yes, Punksir rocks! It is him, not me!

[sadhouse]

gunslinger32mag ~ long time . I keep coming back to this , Jonny dose killer work sounds like where there .

Cleaned it up alright , the sound is fantastic Art Work Premium . If this came out today it would still blow minds . Acid Tomb did some great cover , donating to Roky Erickson Trust , look at related Videos , is that Roky or John Fright on Levitation ? This is as close to seeing them Live at Love Street as it gets !

[gunslinger32mag]

@sadhouse You saw them at Love Street Light Circus??????? Holy crap dude, that was before I was born. Wish I lived back then. Yep, Acid Tomb does them justice pretty good bro.

[punkrockxzz]

[straydog02]

Rock doesn't get any better that this!

[gunslinger32mag]

[MSTFreak]

Fuck right, this is great!
