Date: Thu, 01 Aug 96 07:14:00 edt Subject: 13th Floor Elevators I have the 13th Floor Elevators "Where The Action Is" TV appearance of "You're Gonna Miss Me". I don't think it is that rare. I see it listed on many video lists I get in the mail. It is definitely lip synch, just like all other Dick Clark hosted shows.

Saw it at a party on Long Island about 10 years ago, hosted by a guy named John Battaglia (who played in a bunch of garage bands around NYC, including the Phase One Psychotics). If someone knows him, say hello and ask him about the clip!! Maybe Blair knows where to find 'im. Glenn Sadin pointed out that his band, The Seen, put out a few mid-80's releases and I can vouch that this is pretty good stuff!! Nice melodic pop with a hint of Byrds-folk thrown in. (BTW, Glenn's home demos are even cooler!) And I'll add my two cents on the Cynics, who were a very cool band on the garage scene. Sorry to hear they've packed it in. I used to pal around with The Secret Service and they played with The Cynics a couple of times. They were cool people to hang with and had a very exciting live show.

I'd be interested in knowing what those 2 appearances were on Sundazed. Thanks, Erica >>> Frank Uhle 08/01/96 12:45am >>> I have seen two clips of the 13th Floor Elevators from mid-60s TV. One has them by a pool doing "Miss Me" which I believe is "Where the Action Is" (lip-sync, of course) and the other is also "Miss Me" sync-ed outdoors ..... It's been several years, but I saw them on the same tape so I know there were two discrete clips. ................ Someone wrote that the Elevators only were on TV 3 times, but this must be wrong, as the Sundazed CD ("Texas Twisted") has them on at least 2 occasions (sorry, don't have it here to check) live on TV, which would make at least 4 dates added to the two clips I saw. Didn't someone say earlier that they were on Ed Sullivan?

Smith" Date: Thu, 01 Aug 1996 09:55:31 -0400 Subject: tv appearances what's rare, what ain't, imho 1) The Where the Action is with the 13th Floor Elevators really is not rare at all... I got a 3rd or 4th generation dub which means the people with the tape have grown exponentially. (Mr. Cashin, email me) However, the *second* Action appearance (not the pool) I have never seen even mentioned... what I find rare are episodes of bandstand and Action that only exist in Dick Clark's archive... or better yet episodes of TV shows where the lighting technician takes home a film (kinescope) copy for the kids and then the tv station destroys their film library... like the tape of Milt Grant's show (Milt payola-d Link Wray into including him on writing credits of Rumble) which only turned up at a christmas party (alerting the poor crew to the sad realization that everything else was destroyed...) If anyone ever finds copies of Washington, DC's "Wing Ding" let me know... I've talked to both hosts, I've talked to people from the British Walkers, etc... they don't even have access to *photos* of their appearances, let alone film or video... but that was more of a weak, lets play the new beatles video, lets get some dj to spin records thing... (however, I've heard rumors that the Washington Urban League had a monster Teenarama Dance Party with all the soul stars of the day) oh, as far as the appearances, did you know the 13th floor elevators and ? Mark and the Mysterians appeared on back-to-back episodes of Action? Friday afternoon with the elevators then wait until school's over monday to catch Q... Also, to place some of the clips you see, Action appearances are most often oustide, often at amusement parks, etc. Bandstand appearances are indoors usually with cuts to he audience. They're both lip syncs... I think only 2 episodes of Malibu U exist in collector's hands, they take place, duh, at the beach... I think that's Dick Clark's summer 1967 Action replacement, but I forget... someday I'll write this all down.

The original is including Monster a Go Go and another bootleg Sixties Japanese Psych Sampler(out of order now, the song title is written Anything you want). Hitomi >Members of Monster Magnet and Soundgarden did a one-off single as the Wellwater Conspiracy covering Japanese Groups Sounds songs like "Yata Bati Yi" in an beatles-meet-mudhoney sort of style. Incidentally, the correct title of that song is "Nareba Ii". It was mistitled on that Italian GS comp LP (either "Monster a Go Go" or "Big Lizard Stomp" - I can't remember which one!). ------------------------------ From: dothepop@ix.netcom.com (Lisa Lindstrom) Date: Thu, 1 Aug 1996 07:32:00 -0700 Subject: Re: Heacoats in Seattle Headcoats Aug. 9th a@ the Crocodile, Aug. 10 at Velvet Elvis, matinee show.

There is audio from 2 different appearances on "Sump'N Else" from WFFA-TV Channel 3 in Dallas. There are 10 cuts total drawn from TV broadcasts on 3/25/66 and 5/9/66. This music is all LIVE (not lipsync) and there is no video left--the audio was dubbed off the video tape and that was later erased and reused. The appearances on "Where the Action Is" and/or "Bandstand" were lipsync performances, so this is definitely different from that. Two questions: 1) Can anyone confirm the rumor I heard that the Elevators were on Ed Sullivan? (& is there some source that would list the performers on this show over the years? I know Dick Dale was on, for one.) 2) Since the Elevators' audio perfs. were dubbed off at the time to be saved, were other cool groups' music saved in this way? I have never heard anyone mention other material from "Sump'N Else" that got saved.

By the way does anybody know if Twin Tone is still a going concern? I dream of finding a copy of the Suicide Commandos live album one day.
