It was one of those things where you wake up the next morning not sure you actually saw it. Roky Erickson and the Explosives were at Southpaw (Brooklyn) last night. We went with the Proper Mindset -- in other words "Who knows if this will actually be any good, but I will be happy just to see him in the flesh for the first time." Something you'd never actually consider as an actual possibility. Well -- taken objectively and dispassionately, I'd say this: if you had never heard his music or heard of him at all, you'd have walked out thinking you'd just seen a great show by a great (if slightly odd) band. But with the enormity of history and Roky's past problems hanging over it, it was just massive. The man looks great, he sounds great, and the band is excellent too. I would say the lead guitarist could've been a bit more faithful to the style on the recordings -- his is more of a stinging country-twang than the metalpop almost-Frehley style on the (solo) records -- but it was good anyway. Roky looked really happy to be in front of an adoring crowd. He never said anything other than "thank you," but he said it a lot and with a look on his face that made it clear that he really meant it. The other guy did most of the talking. But there was no sense at all of Roky-as-drooling-idiot-that-has-to-be-led-around. Still has all his hair too! Only three Elevators songs (well, two and a half, considering that a blistering "Before You Accuse Me" was one of them) but no one seemed to mind. The audience contained virtually all of the usual suspects, and I expect Cynthia and Joe B will be chiming in shortly. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2007 10:17:03 -0700 (PDT) From: Cynthia Subject: Re: [bomp] Roky. Wow. Roky. Wow. Just an incredible night. I echo all of your comments. He absolutley didn't miss a beat- literally and figuratively- was fully engaged, and on top of that, performed fabulously by ANY standard, not just the cross your fingers and hope no one's embarassed standard. And yes an excellent band that is a maybe a slightly unexpected but perfect fit. And beyond the music, I got a sense that they're hearts are in the right place too. I wasn't able to catch any of his performances in Austin over the last couple of years ( Joe and several friends have) and apparently there has been a steady progression. Never bad, but has just kept getting better everytime. Maybe some people who have seen him at those shows during sxsw or Austin folks can concur. Anyway, you just have to take one look at him and before he even opens his mouth you can see he is in a good place. A very cool thing to witness. Someone I don't know walked passed me beaming and said, " I can't believe this is happening!". I think it's safe to say he spoke for most of the people there last night. - -- Sknoof@aol.com wrote: > > It was one of those things where you wake up the > next morning not sure you > actually saw it. > > Roky Erickson and the Explosives were at Southpaw > (Brooklyn) last night.
