13th Floor Elevators
Rockius Of Levitatum (picture Disc)
This collection of live tracks gives those of us who werent there during those halcyon days of psychedelia, a taste of just what lofty heights (and hellish depths) the Elevators were capable of reaching. The performances are taken from three sources: "Roller Coaster", "Youre Gonna Miss Me" and "Tried to Hide" from a rockin appearance on a local Dallas / Ft. Worth television show in the spring of 1966, "Dont Fall Down", "Kingdom Of Heaven", "She Lives In A Time of Her Own" and "Ive Got Levitation" from a notoriously shambolic gig in Houston in 1967, and the remaining eight tracks from a series of stellar performances at San Franciscos Avalon Ballroom in autumn of 1966.
