Roky Erickson Tickets

Roky Erickson concert was pathetic. Roky was helped on to the stage and sat in a chair the whole concert. Roky sang but his grandson did all the talking. The sound was loud and distorted you really could not tell who was singing or what song was being attempted. Looked to me like a money grab to take a famous relative on the road to make one last buck. The Duck Room is a basement with a bar. No chairs to sit. So we stood for three hours. I was totally disappointed in this experience at the Duck Room. At least the riot squad in the street in front of the Duck Room will make for an interesting story.

Roky and his band shook the TT the Bears from the first moment of the concert to the last. I could not stand still a single second, and that's how a punk rock concert should be watched in my opinion. But the most surprising thing was the reaction of the crowd. I have seen many show in this neighborhood and I've always bitched about how people in general do not feel the experience, just take photos, stand still and leave. This venue was packed, audience was so into Roky's music and every one was jumping up and down. Roky and the band was so powerful and crowd was feeling it.

Liked opening act Nude Beach. Roky and the Hounds of Baskerville were worth the trip. It's always great seeing Roky. His voice isn't what it used to be but he is part of rock history. Band was young, enthusiastic and pretty tight. Crowd was into it, singing along with all the tunes. Venue is a real dump. Dirty with bad sound. 5 stars for the music. 1 star for the venue.

I traveled from central Vermont to see Roky Erickson. His music and life story have always moved me. That he has survived a very tough life with his willingness to carry on as a rock and roller intact, I find immensely inspiring. It was great to hear so many "old favorites," and kudos to the talented band for providing amazing support!

Poor Roky can't play much anymore but his voice is still amazing. I think the rest of the band can use a little more work with the back up singing parts. There were a lot of times when I know there should have been someone singing and it was just the band playing. Overall I love Roky and I would see him again in a heart beat.

Roky tore down the El Rey Theater again. This band, the Night Beats, were well rehearsed and professional. Roky looked like he was enjoying the show and he didn't need notes to remember the words to the songs. He played guitar on all the songs too. His voice is still a powerful force but gave out right at the end. His son, Jegar, and the whole audience, pitched in and helped the old campaigner perform You're Gonna Miss Me.

I was introduced to Roky by my boyfriend and fell in love with his solo work. On a road trip we listened to a good portion of the 13th Floor Elevators discography and I fell in love again. To see someone who has been what he has been through in his life, and is still creating art just floored me.

Priceless! First time to my knowledge in his ~44 year career that Roky has played the east coast & Boston! Would love to see him again!! The Royale was a really classy venue (part Caesar's Palace, part medieval castle), in a nice area, with good / properly mixed sound!

What a grand concert.....!! Man, Roky is a genius. Best show I have seen in a long time.... Still hearing the music....

Set list was amazing and everything sounded incredible!!
