  • My favorite Elevator song,album and philosophical moment. Your/our sun will catch on fire.

  • Hey that's great, I'm glad someone else is into this tune, the band said this is one of their favorites from their entire catalogue and are very proud of it. I'm glad someone other than my friend that had me post it enjoys it.

    Peace!

  • I think the jug works very well on this song. I know it gets a bad rep but it adds to the sound.

  • My daughter's Petshop video has earned 3,4,5 times the views that this groovy song has generated. Popularity is fickle. Roky had/has reality/stardom challenging hurdles partially shoved off his path by his brother. Music Industry hopefuls/sharks take note:: these people are not to be taken lightly.

  • @BarbarasUrates This is my favorite Elevators song next to the live version of "She Lives in a Time of Her Own" but we're just going to disagree in that a) ALL music is innately psychedelic b) the ones that TRULY invented the sub genre were scared to name it psychedelic because it would be a death sentence to their band...and c) it backfired on the Elevators when they tried it and didn't get past American Bandstand

  • Yeah man, this is  "Postures ( Leave your Body Behind)" not "Pictures"

    Help me have him see this please I hate to ask,

  • the song's called Postures...

  • Isn't this song called 'Postures', not 'Pictures'?

  • this is pure beauty. funky toasted psych-soul. the elevators were so so ahead of their time, or maybe more correctly they were the indelible spirit print and template to remind us that at one small space in history 3 eyed people got together and recorded and put to acetate the true nature of glorious psychedelic freedom. they WERE IT.

  • @ThisDJ4Hire Thanks for posting this great song. But, the name of it is Postures, not Pictures.

  • Without question my favorite psychedelic song... why wouldn't it be? They invented the genre... but this is really special.

    

  • greatest Elevators song!! Keep on climbin, the journey's Begun!!!!

  • the jug player mustve got so much pussy
