Rls Notes

'Live Evolution Lost: The 13th Floor Elevators Live at the Houston Music
Theatre' is the first-ever release of the complete performance of the band's
legendary show from 18th February 1967 presented in a deluxe 2CD mediabook.

The trailblazing 13th Floor Elevators released the first psychedelic rock
album in America, transforming culture throughout the 1960s and beyond.
Formed in late 1965 in a small town in Texas by Electric Jug playing Tommy
Hall, guitarist & vocalist Roky Erickson, guitarist Stacy Sutherland they
were joined by bass player Benny Thurman, and drummer John Ike Walton; at
a time where Baptist and Mormon preachers fought for the population's
spiritual wellbeing, and Country & Western music filled the bars on a
Saturday night. Out of these conflicting extremes, the Elevators were
born and began making a name for themselves in the burgeoning music scene
in Austin, Texas.

Though Roky Erickson was the frontman, the group's sound and philosophy were
created by the unpredictable & impulsive Tommy Hall. The Elevators followed
their own spiritual cosmic route searching for a new path to enlightenment
whilst all the while creating a reputation for excess. The band developed
a sound that merged garage-punk and psychedelic experimentation. Their music,
from the beginning, played and created under the influence of LSD, was raw,
ambitious and hugely experimental with Sutherland's pioneering use of reverb
and echo, and bluesy, acid-drenched guitar mixed with Tommy Hall's innovative
electric jug … psychedelic rock was conceived.
