"Roky Erickson's epic comeback story, which dates back to his first full concert in two decades at the Austin City Limits Music Festival 2005, culminated Monday night with the most memorable Austin City Limits taping in recent memory. Backed by the Explosives and Summer Wardrobe's Jon Sanchez and John Leon, not to mention ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons(!!!!), the 13th Floor Elevators' frontman unleashed his timeless, bloodcurdling howl atop the wall of guitars, hemorrhaging through his horror-rock standards like "Cold Night for Alligators" and "Bloody Hammer." Gibbons effortlessly dueled with Erickson during "The Beast" and re-created the psychedelic jug sounds of "You're Gonna Miss Me" on guitar, without effects pedals, before a closing encore of "The Wind and More" and "I Walked With a Zombie." Thank you. The episode airs Jan. 12, while Grupo Fantasma premieres Friday."
Roky and The Reverend Willie G on tha same stage!!! Why didn't I know about this?!? I would have KILLED to see this taping. Oh well...can't wait for it to air! :D
