13th Floor Elevators - At the Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA (1966) Part 1
13th Floor Elevators - At the Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA (1966) Part 2

A tribute to those that came before, the first of at least several. (How am I gonna get you guys some decent live Television if I don't get you some 'Elevators first? It just doesn't make sense!) Anyways, you can hear the 'Elevators in damn near everything, it seems. And this is a perfect way to hear them - live in their glory! The Roky Erickson CD Club put this sweetie out a few years ago, just one of dozens of lost live and studio recordings they distributed FREE to the fans, tens of thousands of fans, all over the world.

(Okay, here's the deal. Basically, I'm having trouble getting some stuff uploaded and deciding what I want to rip for you all and I already had this one done, so.......)

There's a cool new book about the boys out now, so go buy this paper shit and read it and then buy the music!
