The influential psych rock band, The 13th Floor Elevators reunited for their first performance in 47 years last weekend at Austin’s Levitation Festival. The hour-long set had the original lineup of Roky Erickson, Tommy Hall, John Ike Walton, and Ronnie Leatherman performing songs from its discography.
The 12 track set list included: “Nobody to Love”, “She Lives (in a Time of Her Own)”, and “Slip Inside This House” off of Easter Everywhere; “Roller Coaster”, “You’re Gonna Miss Me”, and “Reverberation” from The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators. As shown in the video, the crowd had immense love for the hometown band who sounded just like their last 60’s show together.
