13th Floor Elevators - Baby Blue (Live, 1967)

[@nobodyouwantoknow]

God bless their tragic souls. I've never tired of the Elevators.

[@brotherpantichrist]

Considering Stacy's condition with the wolves and angels, he pulls of some amazing riffs throughout this track. I never heard this one, amazing what pops up here on youtube. Thanks to the uploader for this one!!

[@happycyclings]

actually Stacy in not playing in here. He was tripping so hard that he could barely make it through the first songs I think. The Audio Source is Professional as this was meant to be an Official Live Recording, but the guys took too much LSD and things got weird. ....This is part of a "Jam" with other band,The Conqueroo, It is a fact that Stacy is not playing guitar in this part, i think he nevear played in this show, he has tripping so hard that he couldnt play....So its a guitarist from another band and Roky.

[@metalheadwhoplaysgames1826]

This is my favorite song

[@happycyclings]

btw, the Texas band The Conqueroo are involved in this "Jam". Stacy in not playing guitar in here. He was tripping so hard that he could barely make it through the first songs I think. (the whole set is very sloppy, missingg guitar parts, roky forgetting the lyrics, etc etc etc, this is actually the highlight of that night) The Audio Source is Professional as this was meant to be an Official Live Recording, but the guys took too much LSD and things got weird. ....This is part of a "Jam" with other band,The Conqueroo, i read somewhere that the managers of thew band or show tried to calm Stacy with some Weed, but it actually made it "worse" per se....i mean, weed intensifies the LSD high...this comes from a bootleg called "Death in Texas"... meaning it was a catastrophe to the Internationall Artists label, as they invested in recording this show, but it serves them well, they fucked up with the Elevators anyways...

I later learned if I came home on a bummer or having too much to dream , all I had to do was go to the medicine cabinet and take a couple of Valium’s . This was in the seventies mind you living at home. But in their case it went as planned. Or something . Great recording ! I wonder if the future ZZ Top dudes were there ?

[@nathanb5579]

"And things got weird" lol😆

[@hassanas-sabbagh6562]

@@nathanb5579 Hee hee.

[@chrislopez1391]

could listen to this on loop forever.

[@collinmc90]

I love how certain songs. In the right mood and mind set. You can almost feel the room it was recorded in (especially on psychedelics) My mind feels cloudy after this one lol.

[@TuiGichiimin]

Thank you so much for uploading this gem track. God bless you.

[@sadhouse]

What is the Houston Music Theater , this is the Living Eye!Saw them there well over 10 times , the only place where the ceiling was like this , the rest had things that looked like they could fall , a Heart Beating and Fog to lay down and smoke a Joint , Silber at Westview , we lived on Longpoint not far in a Psychedelic Painted 5 bedroom House , named the Sadhouse after being raided, beat . We painted the trees candy stipped , it was our Jam House , Pigs eat the 3 OZ Brownies , never came back

[@happycyclings]

yep, my bad, i used a photo from other time, still captures and goes well with the song...

[@ambulanza]

fuckin wonderful.. pure psychedelia

[@marciad3958]

✌ sounds like freedom

[@mchorchos]

"No drugs were involved during this performance."

[@hassanas-sabbagh6562]

Sure. U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves.

[@mariooldani9545]

Peace.

[@jamesthompson8778]

Perfect as possible...jamming...

[@mchorchos]

2:38 haha love how Roky starts singing like a preacher on tribune :D

[@MyUltimateStuff]

That photo is not at the theater in the round, its at the Livinng Eye, great music venue that was up in tHouston's Spring Branch area.. I never remembered how to get there - was always too messed up to recall...lol

[@happycyclings]

yep, did not find an actual pic of the era/venue, but i used that that seemed cool, and tinted it a bit... awesome you were in that venue... cheers...

[@d_walsh]

living eye was located at 1493 silber road, Houston.

" People are gonna talk to you about individual freedom but they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em..."

[@robertpaulson2842]

I bet this is what Bob Dylan listens to as he goes to bed.

[@blacksaxmusic]

Rad,,, Sounds like The Brian Jonestown Massacre jamming

[@fedroc8247]

Que tal misticismo el de esta versión! Tremenda atmósfera nostálgico psicodelica la que genera la conjunción de los instrumentos.Ni hicieron falta las voces.Sin duda,uno de los mejores covers.

[@ejectorerector]

with the elevators, LSD was always involved

[@Alien_Can97]

Bro it’s insane😢

[@telebob]

I know this ceiling... This was taken in Austin in 1966 at a club called The IL at 12th and Rosewood in East Austin. IL stood for Ira Littlefield who owned the place. Where black folks and hippies hung out at the time..... Ira L. had a card that said "Our hippie dancing whips Shock Theater." (Shock Theater was a late night TV show featuring horror movies.)

[@marilynebonifait3168]

acid is nice

[@swedlifeboiii9619]

it suuure is

[@danfaitz2385]

Damn 1,000 micrograms!! That’s a lot

[@Funkadelic2]

LOL!! No it's not a gram. Micro=millionth. 1000 mics would be like 1/1000 of a gram, but with acid that's still a whole fucking lot. 😄

[@winmachielse1233]

It’s a milligram. Four times the dose of a regular heavy trip.

[@mjosemartinez1011]

Siempre❤️

[@WhiteCamry]

February 18, 1967.

[@tommoyanks]

How about a new reality show where people trip each night. That would make good watching. Better than some of the crap on the idiot box now.

[@brubeck1]

ha ha make em take the acid test.

[@shorelineboy]

Tommoyanks bloody excellent idea. Best I've heard for many a decade 😎🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄😎

[@kk34545]

Amazing version,does this exist as vinyl pressing?

[@laurelives]

It is on the "Easter Everywhere" lp. Should still be available on vinyl. My copy has only been played about 10 times as I recorded to cassette. Cheers.

[@themonohub5455]

The studio version is on Easter Everywhere, but not this live version. Which is a shame as the flute/jug??? solo is beautiful.

[@themonohub5455]

TheMonohub Fuck!!! This is a fantastic version. I've listened to it on loop since its discovery.

[@d_walsh]

this has been released on cd called live evolution lost, Houston 1967

[@radialdaze5825]

A thumb print can enlighten you, or frighten you. Or both.

[@djlegand]

always thought LSD was involved

[@buzzawuzza3743]

These guys are putting on a clinic for how to beat three chords to death.

[@altdelet3778]

God everybody’s playing over each other, so sloppy. And Roky is all over the place, it’s sad.

[@arthurkyriazis]

lysergic war protest dylanified and texified Roky RIP....

[@rodolfoescontrias9846]

Did you get your name from a Boards of Canada song?

[@karljoensen]

@KarlJoensenMusic 'Trip Brother'

[@josehumbertoutrerasruiz231]

👁 🤗

[@benwhackley]

and i heard that the sound quality on this was shitty!

[@karljoensen]

@tommoyanks i'd watch it!

[@KilohSmith]

Don't forget to join the 13th Floor Elevators Facebook Group!

Almost 2,000 Members including members of the band! facebook.com/groups/13thfloorelevators

[@karlkellar8614]

That's not the Elevators. Flutes, no jug, no Rocky. At least not the classic Elevators. The more I listen it does sound like Stacy's guitar.

[@happycyclings]

Roky is singing

[@bradbartee8701]

Did you record this and or do you have the full set?

[@happycyclings]

you can torrent this, man. search Death in Texas - 13th floor elevators. cheers!

[@d_walsh]

Brad Bartee it's available on cd called LIVE EVOLUTION LOST now too

[@93033x]

love ♠️🔪🔪🔪

[@ryanflynn8191]

did the elevators write this song or was it the byrds?

[@ash83]

Bob Dylan ..

[@dbyrd]

Huh? What are you smoking?

[@brubeck1]

have a word with yourself.

[@athenspirates]

Ryan Flynn Dylan

[@JoseGonzalez-ez6vn]

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue; Bob Dylan.

[@brianswanzey407]

I see a lot of nostalgia in this comment section, and that's cool, but in actuality this performance is not fit for an 8th grade talent show.

[@Vingul]

BS

[@digitalwasabi2]

Tune your guitars! Yikes.
