Gene’s post of the Dolls Too Much Too Soon reminded me so much of the 13th Floor Elevators, that I was jonesing to hear that great tune from Roky Erickson and band.
In searching, I found this really great clip from Dick Clark’s Where the Action Is.
Since it is actually semi-live, and since I don’t remember seeing the Elevators in “action,” I had no clue that the odd sort of synth/bass sound was Tommy Hall playing the jug.
Now I know.
This song was never a hit in New York, that I remember anyway. I first heard it on the great Nuggets album.It is a little like It’s Too Late now that you mention it.
