[@richardruin]

I was on this concert in Cologne - and it was an almost religious experience ! Long live Roky - wherever he is now.

[@emmanuelsantana3369]

[@lanceforney5321]

Man, Starry Eyes still gives me goosebumps.

[@asdemin27]

Roky Erickson крутой рокер! неубиваемый! Roky так держать!!!

[@Michael-ec5zs]

I dont understand all the hipster stuff , the band was awsome. Roky looked happy and all he had left in him was all in this night. Strong rock n roll is all that matters and this show had plenty of it

[@John-fz5qt]

You are all so special Some don't realize, others realize it But we won't forget or miss you...

[@silvanomantovani1868]

... mamma mia! mai sentito niente di simile: inenarrabile, fulmini, saette tonitruanti, non riesco a staccarmene grandissimo concerto ... avere condiviso la stessa epoca di Roky Erickson mi riempie di gioia ... inenarrabile punk up 'n' roll on ...

God bless you ,ROCKI.. .....WE LOVE YOU.....rip.....❤

POR SIEMPRE ROKY ERICKSON CAMPEON DE LA VIDA, DESCANSA EN PAZ AHORA

[@markwitte303]

i have never heard of roky until i heard bong waters cover of you dont love me yet and bought the cd of where the pyramid meets the eye and holy crap amazing songs of what some people have in there mind. and great versions of rokys songs.

[@KarlShefelman]

I just love this. father and son (Jegar Erickson) playing both old and new together. My favorite are the older 13 Elevator tunes which they bring to life with new energy. Reverberation, Roller Coaster, etc. For me those songs, those earliest songs, about the LSD experience, are the ones that stand out as special and transcendant...makes we wonder, did Rocky and Jared ever 'experience" together?

[@lencolby4605]

What instrument did his son play?

[@taintmueslix]

the end credits say Jon Sanchez lead guitar

[@elpelone]

he's so engaged through most of this, so awsome! Very true, this band did a good job backing him up and you can tell he's feeling the energy. Its true though why can't I hear his guitar jeeze, these are his songs.

[@skiptrailer7048]

NOTHING BETTER THAN THAT, STARRY EYES FUCK YEAH

[@zippymufo9765]

He was so engaged and present for that brief time (from about 2005 to 2010) that it was painful to see him shutting down again in the subsequent years.

[@patochard1955]

Cela fait des décennies que j'écoute Roky, un grand merci pour ce magnifique concert

[@tattoofred]

Muchisimas gracias por el video, acabo de ver un documental sobre este músico y me ha encanatdo poder ver ahora este concierto. salu2

[@0000song0000]

Cual documental?

[@russellcrawford7453]

Rocky was from Dallas Texas. The 13th floor elevators were from Austin

[@TheHatemos]

Legend!!!

[@yecats5000]

Great to see him on that stage!

[@mlwsf]

How the hell was this guy huge there but almost unknown outside of Texas? Crazy.

[@tiagomiguelbacalhaubras3804]

Grande Rokyyyyy!!!

[@laplumaeclectica3853]

FANTASTICO

ROKY FOREVER

[@zarbithechti]

C’est tout simplement magnifique, unique. Un bonheur !

[@Blvck_Wizard]

sooo underrated!

[@eLiFILMSinc]

Criminally

[@StephenKemp777]

Nice rocking set; I think Roky definitely approves of his band. He is always looking over and nodding appreciately to the guitar player. I think he wanted a big, psychedelic sound reminiscent of the Elevators. He got it.

[@zippymufo9765]

He did that no matter who he played with. I think it was just a nervous tic, or maybe looked over to his right when he didn't feel comfortable looking at the audience.

[@alladreamwedreamed]

This is how musicians communicate on stage. With looks.

Starry eyes... ❤️😎

Awesome!

[@knarrtrey6677]

The riff at @ 28 mins is awesome!!!

[@chainrelease]

I was there! Magic.

[@jaylindsey8665]

I dont remember the year, in the 9th grade, myself and one of my good freinds Travis Peoples & a couple other guys played in a state wide Industrial Arts talent Show, only playing Elevators tunes, we got 4th In the state competition, my buddy Travis could belt out Roky like no one else could but Roky, we even beat out the local guys (Conroe Tx)playing top 40 hits. I never knew how popular they were until the early seventies. It was good back then but didnt take long before it was a little much, but who would have thought a 13th Floor Elevators cover band would even be recognized at such an event in Texas In the sixties, where country music ruled.

[@varisplaything2957]

Just 💘

[@PauloErreMusic]

Woooow Thanx for share!

[@delhidelirium9091]

The kid playing guitar owns this !

[@thomasmartin2838]

That guitarist is Jon Sanchez who has played with Rich Hopkins and the Luminaros, Chrysta Bell, and Chaos Horde among others during his career.

[@lencolby4605]

@@thomasmartin2838 - I never head of him before but he's excellent> Somebody said his son played on this? It that correct?

[@KimberlyTiberia]

Go Roky go!

[@KingofHarms]

🖤

[@markwitte303]

amazing band who are they.

[@derunsympath]

if you cant hear roky play you need to train your ears people geez he even does bits of lead guitar every now and then

[@LED1512]

Totally agree. But just as important Damek's observation Roky's still playing. It's criminal iv'e yet to see him. Hope he comes to Blighty this year.

[@wassup5551]

What a great show that was. The backing band did a great job. I can't hear Roky's guitar which is bummer, though.

[@Rockenrollronnie]

But' if you really watch this concert you can easily see that' he have lost his ability to play a decent guitar! The band did' a good job in (2010) but' that' is sad to see that' he have lost his ability to play because just a few years earlier he played totally different! If you watch some videos from (2007) three years before this he was really the guitar-player for his band! //R.

[@georgebethos7890]

The last stand !!!

noooooooooooooo, Rocky is Dead , Jesus live forever

🤘🕊🎙🎸🤘

[@lastdaysguitar]

GREAT set! I work faster when listening to Roky!

[@beeklebee]

Wouldn't it HAVE to be at least somewhat as you suggest? Hipster. or what have they?.. I think the bottom line here is that Roky is on that stage. I've no issue with that.. I'm grateful he's still with us.

[@russellcrawford7453]

That is a very cool guitar that he is holding, what is it?

[@Originalacousticmusic]

Gibson es-135

[@John-fz5qt]

Its an es double cut - hard to tell what, with the parallelogram block inlays (135 is single cut), and the bigsby has the 'E' epiphone logo.

Who is on the lead guitar?

[@Alejandro-df3jh]

Jegar Erickson, Rocky Erickson son

[@skidco1]

@@Alejandro-df3jh Thanks for that info - I didn't see that coming at all!

[@John-fz5qt]

It's Jon Sanchez - i think he's still around Austin Texas. Playing his es epiphone. Great tones :)

I am shocked to get him to this point and insult him ... shockin

[@lexlex2912]

this is better from him band quite laid back he sings great good feel to the song

[@MrJeppelin]

Poor Roky, he can´t play one note on the guitar these days. Saw him five days later. The voice is still there though.

[@jorgequinones1131]

Ykoki

[@skidco1]

Rocky is too low in the mix. There is other footage from this same tour where he is much further up with some nice fuzz effect and it sounds better for it.

[@Meddled]

I cannot hear Roky's guitar once during this video.

[@WalterReiterer]

I can hear every single note.

[@professormacdeezy]

I disagree.. I think the band does an admirable job backing him, I wouldn't call them hipster, but psychedelic

[@89Fredbear]

Roky should've been with a smaller band and it may have been a little more focused! The Explosives!! It always works period. Glad Roky's still doing what he does but thi nk of his muisc!!

[@JCHaywire]

I love Roky, but this band... They're mismatched. Roky's not a hipster--and his songs are infused with the frailty and pain of his difficult life. This band is running roughshod over his tender personality and music. I'm sure they're a great band--but poorly mated to Roky and his music.

[@illuminatibraincontrol]

Actually, listening to The Aliens and stuff like that - I think they're great for Roky! In the early days with this band, it was very very spot on. Rokys getting old. Anyone who'd lived such a difficult life as his would have a hard time touring at his age.

[@russellcrawford7453]

I disagree your statement about the band The running roughshod over his material. I thought they were playing his music with a musicality and a great feel. You can bet had Rocky agreed with your statement he would have gotten rid of them immediately. Rocky was from Dallas Texas, the center of the hip universe

[@russellcrawford7453]

This is a great document roky Erickson and his songs in his later years. He told me that he loved Paul Revere and the Raiders. Now go check Revere and the Raiders out

[@maximomartinez6843]

what about the live from Mike Rivera ? the guys who was playing at a day a nigth interwie?
