Roky Erickson and The Explosives at Hultsfred, Sweden, June 16 2007 1 of 3

Här är en riktig pärla som jag hittade på en gammal hårddisk som inte varit igång på några år.
Part 2: • Roky Erickson and The ...
Hela Roky Ericksons bejublade Hultsfredskonsert från 2007, proffsfilmad med flerkamerasystem och ljud direkt från mixerbordet. Kommer ursprungligen från någon som jobbade på festivalen vid tillfället och har vad jag vet aldrig cirkulerat på nätet innan. Enjoy!

This video should have way more views. R.I.P. Roky. Thank you for the amazing music.

[@peterstar2023]

He was on fire 🤘🔥

[@Hammarlux]

Bästa spelningen jag varit på. Jobbade som väktare vid sponsortälten på nätterna och hade fritt inträde under dagarna och höjdpunkten var Roky. Tack för nostalgitrippen 🤘

Så jävla avis på er som var där! Såg dock denna sättning på Nalen nåt år senare. Lätt ett av de bästa gigen jag någonsin varit på. Fan vilken man!

[@Morcavalin]

Jag såg honom också året efter. Måste verkligen varit något speciellt att se honom på Hultsfred. Tror det var första giget någonsin utanför USA, och han hade dessutom varit borta från musiken i så många år. Publiken hade garanterat inte en aning om vad som väntade dom.

[@lovebergstrom443]

@@Morcavalin jag var inställd på att åka till Hultan det året men det blev inte så och det ångrar man ju såklart. Men jävligt glad att jag fick biljett till Nalen för dom rök på en timme har jag för mig.

[@Morcavalin]

Samma här, fast för min del var det Trädgårn i Göteborg.

Roky var underbar! Han fick en revival i Sverige på 00-talet.

Hr. Patrick Lager, Respekt for at finde og dele denne sublime optagelse af en af musikkens helt store ..kunstens veje er uudgrundelige...at opleve en mester i så god form er en gave. Tak for det.

[@supermamamaxi]

I'm so happy that Roky conquered the frequency fog. Look at him here. He looks young and youthful again! God bless his soul, he got his second run! Not many get that chance. R.I.P. Roky

[@zippymufo9765]

It was pretty much done by 2011 or so. Look at his performances after that and he was slowly going away again.

[@supermamamaxi]

@@zippymufo9765 We were e-mailing each other when he moved to the Boston area with his brother and they had a Yoga teacher that helped him so that he could function better. He wrote his first songs in years, during that time. From there he actually performed, as we can see., He got a hold of me through Myspace and I had a great page with pictures of my old band. We were very much a shock rock group. He asked some questions about it and he said "It must have been really way out , playing in that band. I explained to him that it was indeed, real wild! That's what brought him to my page. I'm just really glad that he got his day in the sun once more.That was totally a miracle.

[@zippymufo9765]

@@supermamamaxi That's pretty cool that you got to meet him during that period.

[@andersandersson1315]

Så bra så man svimmar. Jag hörde talas om att Hultsfredsspelningen skulle spelas in och ges ut på DVD, men något resultat såg man aldrig. Och så plockar du bara fram den så här! Tack!!

[@BiffMalibu123]

Tack Patrik. Fan va NAJS!

[@SalvationCR]

AWESOME!!! No words! ROKY REST IN POWER. A pure genius. One of a kind!

[@Morcavalin]

This gig has legendary status, it was his first tour in Europe ever, and the second gig on that tour. Nobody knew what to expect from him since had withdrawn from playing live outside hishomestate, due to his mental health issues, for almost two decades. The audience was so hyped before this show that he would tear down the roof if he just stood there on stage and did nothing. Then he delivers like this, incredible!

ROKY FOREVER

[@janetwilhelm4435]

You could not ask for a better back up band. Great bass,take lessons all you newbies,this is how u rock.

[@djgforce11]

Its amazing after all the hardships & his history of psychosis that once Roky hit the stage everything came together & also that nice thick sound he got outta that little practice amp is mind boggling.

[@Itsyrm8]

Texas owes a statue of roky. A very good reason for someone to like usa

[@jmgmarcus808]

So happy for Roky, he's the MAN!

[@MattHall]

This seems to be one of the last years he was still really playing guitar live. Does anyone know when he started playing less?

[@Purpleskyshorizon]

On a serious note, Roky looked and acts so much better here than in recent years. I hope he's okay. :/

[@Purpleskyshorizon]

***** I know. I think it's that new Holistic approach to his mental illness that's making him worse. Just my opinion.

[@mlwsf]

Trying to figure out if Roky has a Fuzzface or Big Muff pedal on the floor for the distortion he has. Lord knows it isn't his teeny amp on overdrive. I've got nothing against small amps now, once was shocked to find one of my favorite guitar players using a Princeton live once.

[@jeffreymars8062]

For you.

[@greenesantiques8225]

This looks like a different Explosives that played with him at rockpalast 2010?

[@APerfectMonster]

Tack!!!

[@tragsvetlosti]

long live Roky!!!

[@datakrumelur]

Guld Patrik!

[@AbzugP]

Shit, det här är ju fantastiskt!!

[@mass_of_rest]

genius!!!

[@Purpleskyshorizon]

[@Revener666]

+Oran Lee because in sweden we write the year first

[@Purpleskyshorizon]

+Revener666 I know, I'm only joking around. ;)

[@Morcavalin]

+Oran Lee Fixed it ;-)

[@Purpleskyshorizon]

+Patrik Lager You didn't have to do that. Now people won't know what I was talking about in my original comment, lol!

[@Morcavalin]

+Oran Lee Hehe, well its been bugging me for a while anyway :)

[@perfuzzions]

yep !

[@lingeringlead]

Cam King still the best.

[@rokyericksonroks]

You gotta go to Sweden if you want to acquire the "Live 1979-81" LP recorded with The Explosives. Lousy pricks pulled it down off of YT, too.

[@GuitarMistress1]

Another editor that can't figure out who's playing lead guitar. Is it the bass player? Nope... is it the drummers hand? No... hmmmm... durrrrrrr.. lol

[@Nine_is_God]

+Juliana Brown cameraman probably. This is a live recording.
