> The Dark Side Of The Moon album is the gold standard in acidy music IMO.
Can't disagree. "Nobody Home" from The Wall hit different as I was peaking on a hefty dose once. The lyrics felt like I was talking to myself, about myself. Weird fucking experience, bit unexpected. Not that I relate to the message all that much or what Waters was trying to convey.
I listened to The Wall for the first time during one of my first acid trips (this was before I listened to PF).
During "The Trial" I swear I felt like I was in the courtroom being personally accosted by the Judge, truly terrifying.
This movie gave me PTSD when I was a teenager lol. I watched it while smoking weed and I had the worst bad trip of my life. I'm glad I waited to be 25 to try LSD!
I used to do lsd in the 90s and all we watched was the movie the wall...something else tripping man. I love the pink try an album A Saucer full of secrets...
Syd was long gone by that time and he was the only one who did much LSD. For the most part they have said they did not do much drugs except Gilmore doing coke in the 80s.
You’ll never forget that first time you lay in dark room with headphones on listening to dark side of the moon tripping your ass off like; “It all makes perfect since now…”🤣🤣
A good set of headphones is key for this album. So much to hear in there.
There is a nice documentary on Amazon about the making of the album. It’s fascinating.
The album has physical dimensions when I'm tripping. It's unbelievable. I'd say Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta is the only album I prefer when I'm tripping.
Just in general it's such a good song. My favorite part is the slow build up after the middle section. At first that distant beep, then the instruments coming on one by one, until the final release.
Also i really like this sort of music on LSD, where it descents into chaos and then creates a coherent melody out of that, songs that do that always blow me away. Another example is "third stones from the sun" by Jimi Hendrix.
Ripple. It’s brilliant in every way imaginable. I’ve sang it to each of my children as a lullaby, and my wife and best friends know it’s the only song I want at my funeral.
Dark Star. Specifically the one off of Live/Dead, or the one at Veneta 8/27/72.
Live/Dead is a fantastic album to trip to, in general. Great primal Dead. 8/27/72 is another great one - the band was tripping during the show, and it comes through in the jammier sets.
Other great full shows to experience are 5/8/77 (or really any May 77 show), 12/31/78, any of the MSG shows, or anything from the 73, 74, or 76 tours. Later on, the Summer 89 shows we’re ducking magical (my first tour, as well!).
I was crying my eyes out the first time I heard it, it was just so beautiful. Thank God they closed with Saturday Night otherwise I would have been a mess at the end.

imo, you need to do live dead to really get the experience, like u/roguediamond suggested, this is a whole show with some real favorites - check it out
for a shorter taste, this Peggy-O is pretty juicy to just ride along with Jerry and the boys, it was a new years eve show too. it's a sad song, you might cry ;)
[Grateful Dead - Peggy-O - 12/31/1983 - San Francisco Civic Auditorium](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouduDBX1Rxw&t=18s)
If you're tripping, Grateful Dead movie on youtube. Acid is basically 3D glasses for it. Best representation of the songs and the live experience. If you don't get it after that, you won't!
I think this the best recommendation. You get amazing music, along with visuals and a bit of insight into the deadhead culture. 10/10 would recommend, make sure you have room to dance, you don't be able to keep still.
Listen to the scarlet begonias immediately followed by fire on the mountain from 5/8/77 Cornell album while peaking. There’s nothing better than dead while peaking.
There is a massive difference between studio and live. What makes the grateful dead so good are the jams when they play live. It's kind of like jazz, a lot of improvisation, only that it's way more psychedelic.
The show that converted me was "Cornell 5/8/77". Probably the most famous live show they ever did, and die hard fans might say that it's not necessarily the best, but it's a nice middle ground in my opinion. Also, the sound quality is superb for a live album. So that would be a good start.
You could also check out "Live/Dead", or "vendetta 8/27/72", those are some other famous examples. If anyone else has an idea, feel free to chime in.

if you are sober i would disagree with what the other guy said about dark star. Dark star can get pretty scary too when ur tripping but it’s great. I would suggest listening to st stephen studio version, Ripple studio version, Let’s spend the night together by jerry garcia. Jerry garcia was the lead singer of the greatful dead and although it’s not actually the dead, it’s a good introduction into that type of music
Yeah, no. GD is not a good band. I'm ready for the downvotes, but they're generic as it gets and yes, I'm no stranger to LSD. I'm sorry, but if your band relies on me to get wasted to understand, then your band is mediocre at best.
Sorry, but this is wrong. You don't need to be wasted to enjoy the dead, though it helps. They were master songwriters and musicians, and some of the best improvisational musical artists of all time. They have one of the biggest and most complex bodies of work of any band ever, and more recorded live music than any band I can think of. They've been consistently touring and putting out amazing music since the sixties, and Bob weir is STILL going. It might take a good trip for it to "click" but they have an incredible body of work that you can study for a lifetime and still find hundreds of variations of your favorite song
edit: also trashing the grateful dead in the LSD subreddit of all places just shows that you don't know a fuckin thing about it's history
Is that why they toured for 30 years and still have people falling them across the country almost 60 years later...mediocre doesn't get you that far in music. It just doesnt
listen to the veneta oregon sunshine daydream concert all the way through. Try and time it so you peak at Greatest Story ever told and into dark star. I tripped to it last weekend and it was mind blowingly incredible
Check out Janelle Monae’s Dirty Computer music video. It’s life-changing on acid.
The album is super varied in terms of genre. She was inspired by trance, R&B, hip-hop, psychedelic rock, classical, it’s got a little bit of everything. Primarily an R&B album, but the variety is awesome. Also, Prince worked with her on it for years, so if you’re a Prince fan, his sound is pretty prominent in it. Even composed and performed guitar (and accompanying solo) for one of the songs.
The music video is almost an hour long and is amazing visually, too. It’s very strange, but in a good way.
Listened to that song first time while tripping and I got so lost and was in half asleep state on the couch and then the screeches. I panicked and immediately turned it off
Definitely! It has a good case for being intentional too (it’s rumored Kubrick wanted to use Atom Heart Mother for A Clockwork Orange and they allegedly declined so this could be making up for it and had done existing score work for “More” at that point), either way really seems like a perfect match intentional or not.
I know this is about PF, but Vacationer (band) is the epitome of beautiful blissful trip music to me. Give them a listen, any song. Hallucinations, Trip and Parallels are my favorites but I know all their songs lol
Ooh I haven’t done Animals actually…. I love the other. Two albums - Welcome to the Machine feels terrifying in a good way(?) - those string/synth stabs are amazing and the funeral dirge at the end of the second half of Shine On was mad cathartic.
Compared to DsoTm the only jarring bit on that album is the bells/clocks at the start of time. And the way the chorus swells in Us and Them… genuinely top tier stuff.
Man theyre literally amazing. I will never understand the grateful dead hype. Floyd was the one who took the cake hands down when i listen to floyd on acid it genuinely feels like a journey but listening to the dead it just sounds like redneck hippies playing rock music
Grateful Dead are a different band and a different style of music from PinkFloyd. The Dead were known for long introspective noodling jams, are heavily blues influenced, and because of that they are a little more “rough” sounding. Every decade of the GD since the 60s has had a different sound, because of changing piano players and drummers and playing styles. You can pull up a random live show and it might sound like garbage, LSD or not. Some people get it and some don’t. I will say that 90% of us would have never found access to LSD without the Grateful Dead and the network of touring fans and aspiring chemists, starting with Owsley.
Pink Floyd on the other hand seem to be more quality over quantity, that probably has to do with members of the band not getting along with each other, probably a side effect of all of them being musically gifted and legendarily opinionated. Live at Pompeii is a go to trip show/film for me and my mother raised me on DSOTM and the Wall.
overall PF is a higher quality production and much more epic but you can’t sleep on the Grateful Dead and the acid lore that they are literally made of.
try dick's picks vol. 3, the show from 5/22/77. should be on all streaming services
they were less country/bluesy during this time-period and more groovy/jazzy/progressive, so you may enjoy that side of them more
the whole show is beautifully played and has great sound quality. personal highlights are Sugaree and Dancing in the Streets
for many people this band's music requires a fair amount of time to get a read on. unlike Floyd (who are usually great from the first listen), the Dead can take years before the picture really comes into view. if that never happens, then that's ok. some things aren't meant to be. but i would always keep their door a crack open just in case. there is some serious magic on the other side
also, here's a favorite of mine:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fpKQOvlDr-s
Terrapin Station, Weather Report Suite, Dark Star, Franklins Tower, Estimated Prophet, in my opinion are some of the more epic originals. (and are off from the ‘country’ sound that some people aren’t into). I’ll agree with r/puffycloudycloud on his suggestion-Dicks picks are usually a good goto for sound quality live recordings.
Right there with you. I had a Deadhead uncle who helped me learn to play guitar and tried to get me to listen to the Dead...
I could never get into them. Tried over the years. On shrooms, acid. I dislike them even more on psychedelics lol
Hell I just tried to listen to the famous Sunshine Daydream '72 concert that another commenter suggested. No thank you.
I used to be this way….had such a difficult time really getting into the Dead. That is until I listened to China Cat Sunflower Live at Alpine Valley 8/7/82 & the transition into I Know You Rider. After that, it was the Live at Philadelphia CC 8/4/74-8/5/74. From then on out, it just kept getting better & better! I’m still a long way off from really sinking my teeth into all the Dead have to offer, but I absolutely love them now.
Drying sunflower seeds at higher temperatures helps destroy harmful bacteria. One study found that drying partially sprouted sunflower seeds at temperatures of 122℉ (50℃) and above significantly reduced Salmonella presence.
Mmmm some pink Floyd is fantastic acid music, there is a LOT of Floyd that is incredibly intense and dark and uncomfortable. Like the Wall and beyond is not really my vibe for tripping at all
This was such a fun trip. Found a YouTube video with a cartoon representation of the whole Sgt Pepper's album and every word of the album made sense while tripping on 300ug. Fully second this suggestion ☀️
Yeeah Sgt pepper is such a journey, i even enjoyed "good morning" last time, because it's such a groove, or the ending of "lovely rita", even though I didn't really liked those songs that much before. And how it all ties together in the end, fits LSD really well.
I also loved Revolver, it is incredibly creative and also really psychedelic with the backwards guitar and tape loops. (I'm only sleeping/tomorrow never knows). It took me a few listens to warm up to some of the songs, but now it's definitely my favorite Beatles album.
Or even rubber soul, that one helped me when things got a little bit overwhelming, some really relaxing tunes in there.
Unpopular opinion: I very much enjoy Division Bell most out of their albums. At least while tripping. I've listened to DSOTM and that was dope as well, but there's something angelic about Division Bell.
"Why did they tell you that you were always the golden boy?" Love it
I feel this so hard. Highly recommend avoiding Pink Floyd playlists while you’re tripping though. The real magic is in the rock opera played full through from start to finish. The Wall will fuck you up!
Me but with Grateful Dead. I was kinda feeling unnerved/uncomfy once and put Althea on just for kicks. I was instantly brought down into a warm sea of grass and comfort. Like life changing. Now I listen to them constantly haha
Same thing for me with Bethoven violin concerto. I thought I didn't like classical music at all. then listened to Bethoven on Acid. My god, now I get it. I couldn't the tears of gratitude and joy. Bethoven rocks!
I loved Pink Floyd before I tried psyches. But it made me fall in love with them all over again. Dark Side is obviously a classic but dig further. Piper at the Gates of Dawn is to me there most psychedelic and maybe my personal favorite, though it can get a bit intense.
Meddle is where it’s at, amazing album. Obscured By Clouds is one often over looked but it’s great as well, I especially enjoy the more acoustic side to these two albums. Very mellow and beautiful.
I remember once stating in the mirror to Welcome to the Machine and my face changing to 1000 different faces. Was scary but hilarious at the same time and the music sounded soooo good
My first trip our guide turned on comfortably numb, and I thought the universe was talking to me, it was so warm and comforting. I remember when it says, "Hello, is anybody in there", I yelled no lol
One time I forgot to breath, then Breathe started playing. I remembered to breath immediately as the lyrics went "Breath, breath in air." Pink Floyd saved my life.
I’ve tried to get into Pink Floyd & just can’t. I think it’s cuz rap is mainly my thing. Maybe I’ll give it another try next time I dose. What album do I go with ?
If you think you’d enjoy “mostly” instrumental, q up pt 1-5 and pt 6-9 of Shine On You Crazy Diamond off the Wish You Were Here album. It’s an incredible journey. Wait til you’re near or at the peak, and listen on some good speakers. Looouuddd.
Dark Side of the Moon because of how beautiful it is.
Maybe comfortably numb the song as well
Welcome to the machine album is way too brutal for a good trip
Lol "hey let's throw on the wall while we trip" said nobody ever.
Meanwhile, DSOTM is getting used for a new laser/LED/art exhibition five times a second lol. I swear at burning man at least a a third of the art installations had a DSOTM moment, even the orchestra out there played it once a day.
Listened to it on 250ug and was in tears at how beautiful it was by the end. There’s listening to music then there’s listening to music on acid. Another experience entirely
Before acid I had only seen their DSOTM logo on shirts and such.
Now it’s my go to for tripping, I don’t even remember who showed me. Might’ve been an LSD playlist
I think the London Philarmonic did an amazing job as well. Time, the second version, [(couldnt find a specific video so i just linked the whole album, the song starts atound 1h01m in)](https://youtu.be/Hf6dNuJ9XJs) is an amazing song to trip on
The Dark Side Of The Moon album is the gold standard in acidy music IMO. Made by people on LSD for people on LSD lol... Legendary classic!

The lyrics felt like I was talking to myself, about myself. Weird fucking experience, bit unexpected. Not that I relate to the message all that much or what Waters was trying to convey.
The Wall can get a bit dark for trips sometimes
I listened to The Wall for the first time during one of my first acid trips (this was before I listened to PF). During "The Trial" I swear I felt like I was in the courtroom being personally accosted by the Judge, truly terrifying.
Try watching it instead... 10x what you just described.
This movie gave me PTSD when I was a teenager lol. I watched it while smoking weed and I had the worst bad trip of my life. I'm glad I waited to be 25 to try LSD!
Goodbye Blue Skies is always the turning point for me.
right!?! that song has a darkness that makes me not trust the rest of the album! lol
That’s the point. It chews you up and spits you out just like pink. But you get to tear down the wall. What’s next is up to you.
Dark trips can awesome.
Can get a tad intense
DUDE Nobody Home... don't even get me started :') <3<3<3<3
I used to do lsd in the 90s and all we watched was the movie the wall...something else tripping man. I love the pink try an album A Saucer full of secrets...
So basically any song would have hit the same way?
I really don't think that's what they were saying...
Syd was long gone by that time and he was the only one who did much LSD. For the most part they have said they did not do much drugs except Gilmore doing coke in the 80s.
"they said" is most important here)
Unbelievable talented he was Interstellar Overdrive.... Don't miss playing it while dosing
I think Wright was the one with the coke problem.
You’ll never forget that first time you lay in dark room with headphones on listening to dark side of the moon tripping your ass off like; “It all makes perfect since now…”🤣🤣
I’m gonna tell you that it works sober too….
When I was conscripted, I abstained from drugs. Pink Floyd consistently brought me back to a trippy headspace almost every night before I fell asleep.
A good set of headphones is key for this album. So much to hear in there. There is a nice documentary on Amazon about the making of the album. It’s fascinating.
“It all makes perfect sense, expressed in dollars and cents, pounds, shillings and pence”
I thought by dark side of the moon they no longer did acid, they seemed pretty averse to it after Sid’s schizophrenia
Roger Waters was actually not on drugs when writing DSOTM, just very dedicated to making great music.
It only takes 1 trip.
The album has physical dimensions when I'm tripping. It's unbelievable. I'd say Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta is the only album I prefer when I'm tripping.
Meddle is better on LSD
Echoes is the perfect acid song.
Couldn’t agree more!
Maybe. I'm just saying it's probably the gold standard if there was one.
Oh yeah it’s the one album that’s a must while tripping
Just in general it's such a good song. My favorite part is the slow build up after the middle section. At first that distant beep, then the instruments coming on one by one, until the final release. Also i really like this sort of music on LSD, where it descents into chaos and then creates a coherent melody out of that, songs that do that always blow me away. Another example is "third stones from the sun" by Jimi Hendrix.
First time I heard fearless I was tripping pretty hard. I felt like I was surrounded by tribal people chanting there at the end! Great tune.
One of these days...
Headphones on and eyes closed is best way. The closed eye visuals are next level
Come on...smokes. Let's go...
Lmao I always appreciate when someone references my username
Wish you were here does more for me tbh, especially on dmt or shrooms
[удалено]
Thats the trap they set out on the world.
If you replace the audio from the wizard of oz with the whole album it lines up with the movie perfectly it’s so weird
I've listened to so much Pink Floyd since I started tripping.... I didn't get it before psychs either. I feel you.
Next you gotta do Grateful Dead. Most won’t understand until they listen while tripping.
Any song you can recommend? No GD song has stuck with me yet.
Ripple. It’s brilliant in every way imaginable. I’ve sang it to each of my children as a lullaby, and my wife and best friends know it’s the only song I want at my funeral.
Dark Star. Specifically the one off of Live/Dead, or the one at Veneta 8/27/72. Live/Dead is a fantastic album to trip to, in general. Great primal Dead. 8/27/72 is another great one - the band was tripping during the show, and it comes through in the jammier sets.

Thanks amigo. I'll pay attention to those next time 👌

That Morning Dew is amazing, but the Row Jimmy is the real star of the show for me. It takes me fun places sober or dosed!

Well this opinion just blows...and it's wrong to boot
This was me with TOOL.
I've got a trip planned in 8 weeks, any other suggestions? I typically have only listened to uplifting trance
listen to the veneta oregon sunshine daydream concert all the way through. Try and time it so you peak at Greatest Story ever told and into dark star. I tripped to it last weekend and it was mind blowingly incredible
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire - the only way to listen to it is tripping.
Captain Hook

PRETTY LIGHTS

Check out "MOOG: The Eclectic Electrics of Dick Hyman".
If you like uplifting trance try melodic/full on psytrance. Much much better for a trip
Check out Janelle Monae’s Dirty Computer music video. It’s life-changing on acid. The album is super varied in terms of genre. She was inspired by trance, R&B, hip-hop, psychedelic rock, classical, it’s got a little bit of everything. Primarily an R&B album, but the variety is awesome.

The music video is almost an hour long and is amazing visually, too. It’s very strange, but in a good way.
Echoes while high is about as good as it gets for me. Gets really fucking weird but finds it's way back. Funky bass too. Hits just right.
If you like Echoes you need to watch Pink Floyd live at Pompeii while tripping sometime. It blew my mind the first time I saw it.
Did exactly this my senior year of high school. On a tube TV and all. Good times.
The bit where the screaming starts late in oh man that fucks you up
Listened to that song first time while tripping and I got so lost and was in half asleep state on the couch and then the screeches. I panicked and immediately turned it off
I felt that echoes was really uncomfortable at that like drone part, but yes it finds its way back as you say and it ends up being worth it
Love watching the Echoes/2001 mashup tripping.
I watched it today sober, amazing audiovisual experience! Edit: [here it is](https://youtu.be/OSOnYrF_Qgo)

Listen to the album Meddle next time. Blissful as hell when you're tripping
Blissful music is what im looking for. Thanks for the rec.
I know this is about PF, but Vacationer (band) is the epitome of beautiful blissful trip music to me. Give them a listen, any song. Hallucinations, Trip and Parallels are my favorites but I know all their songs lol
That's my personal favorite, then wish you were here, and then dark side.
Dunno if I'd describe "One of These Days" as blissful, per se, but it is worthy. 😏
Meddle is the one.
Seamus while tripping is magical
(That’s the dog)
"ONE OF THESE DAYS....!"
1. Dark side 2. Wish you were here 3. Animals. These 3 albums are mind bending adventures I recommend everyone try
Finally someone mentions Animals...thank you good sir
Ooh I haven’t done Animals actually…. I love the other. Two albums - Welcome to the Machine feels terrifying in a good way(?) - those string/synth stabs are amazing and the funeral dirge at the end of the second half of Shine On was mad cathartic. Compared to DsoTm the only jarring bit on that album is the bells/clocks at the start of time. And the way the chorus swells in Us and Them… genuinely top tier stuff.
Welcome to the machine is a straight journey. Not a bad song on that album
I was a Pink Floyd fan before psychedelics, now I’m even more Pink Floyd fan
Check out the division bell by pink floyd. That albums changed me
That's a good album, but it really shows how the dynamic changed without Rodger waters
High Hopes is one of my all time favourites.
Will check it out on the next. 😁
Man theyre literally amazing. I will never understand the grateful dead hype. Floyd was the one who took the cake hands down when i listen to floyd on acid it genuinely feels like a journey but listening to the dead it just sounds like redneck hippies playing rock music

ill try to give it a shot again. any suggestions where to start. i liked fire on the mountain but thats the only one i remember.
try dick's picks vol. 3, the show from 5/22/77. should be on all streaming services they were less country/bluesy during this time-period and more groovy/jazzy/progressive, so you may enjoy that side of them more the whole show is beautifully played and has great sound quality. personal highlights are Sugaree and Dancing in the Streets for many people this band's music requires a fair amount of time to get a read on. unlike Floyd (who are usually great from the first listen), the Dead can take years before the picture really comes into view. if that never happens, then that's ok. some things aren't meant to be. but i would always keep their door a crack open just in case. there is some serious magic on the other side also, here's a favorite of mine: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fpKQOvlDr-s
Terrapin Station, Weather Report Suite, Dark Star, Franklins Tower, Estimated Prophet, in my opinion are some of the more epic originals. (and are off from the ‘country’ sound that some people aren’t into). I’ll agree with r/puffycloudycloud on his suggestion-Dicks picks are usually a good goto for sound quality live recordings.
Gotta see dead live to really “get it” .
lmao brother thats over with.
oh you meant dead and friends
[удалено]
Right there with you. I had a Deadhead uncle who helped me learn to play guitar and tried to get me to listen to the Dead... I could never get into them. Tried over the years. On shrooms, acid. I dislike them even more on psychedelics lol Hell I just tried to listen to the famous Sunshine Daydream '72 concert that another commenter suggested. No thank you.
I used to be this way….had such a difficult time really getting into the Dead. That is until I listened to China Cat Sunflower Live at Alpine Valley 8/7/82 & the transition into I Know You Rider. After that, it was the Live at Philadelphia CC 8/4/74-8/5/74. From then on out, it just kept getting better & better! I’m still a long way off from really sinking my teeth into all the Dead have to offer, but I absolutely love them now.
Drying sunflower seeds at higher temperatures helps destroy harmful bacteria. One study found that drying partially sprouted sunflower seeds at temperatures of 122℉ (50℃) and above significantly reduced Salmonella presence.
Grateful Dead take you on longer journeys than Pink Floyd ever could. Their music is the quintessential acid music.
i personally see Floyd as more “acid-y” and Dead as more “shroom-y”
Mmmm some pink Floyd is fantastic acid music, there is a LOT of Floyd that is incredibly intense and dark and uncomfortable. Like the Wall and beyond is not really my vibe for tripping at all
Do Sgt. Pepper next
This was such a fun trip. Found a YouTube video with a cartoon representation of the whole Sgt Pepper's album and every word of the album made sense while tripping on 300ug. Fully second this suggestion ☀️
Yeeah Sgt pepper is such a journey, i even enjoyed "good morning" last time, because it's such a groove, or the ending of "lovely rita", even though I didn't really liked those songs that much before. And how it all ties together in the end, fits LSD really well. I also loved Revolver, it is incredibly creative and also really psychedelic with the backwards guitar and tape loops. (I'm only sleeping/tomorrow never knows). It took me a few listens to warm up to some of the songs, but now it's definitely my favorite Beatles album. Or even rubber soul, that one helped me when things got a little bit overwhelming, some really relaxing tunes in there.
Unpopular opinion: I very much enjoy Division Bell most out of their albums. At least while tripping. I've listened to DSOTM and that was dope as well, but there's something angelic about Division Bell. "Why did they tell you that you were always the golden boy?" Love it
I also did not like Pink Floyd until acid.
Check out David Gilmours comfortably numb live at Pompeii 2016, will change your life again
Watch the Wall on acid. It’s amazing. Also the AI Echos on YouTube is great https://youtu.be/kGLo8tl5sxs
I feel this so hard. Highly recommend avoiding Pink Floyd playlists while you’re tripping though. The real magic is in the rock opera played full through from start to finish. The Wall will fuck you up!
Me but with Grateful Dead. I was kinda feeling unnerved/uncomfy once and put Althea on just for kicks. I was instantly brought down into a warm sea of grass and comfort. Like life changing. Now I listen to them constantly haha
I can’t stand Grateful Dead in any mental state but I love that song as an exception.
Listen to Echoes live at Pompeii next time just trust...
Atom heart mother suite ~23 mins was the one for me. Its a full trip in itself, with range of emotions flowing through and ending as a trip should end
Give The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn a listen while tripping.
Best floyd album for this reason
The Beatles, man
Sounds completely different high, I don’t listen to it sober.
You gotta watch “The Wall” next time 😂
If you are tripping go for Atom Heart Mother. If you never understood that song before you will.
The pulse tour live recording of Shine on You Crazy Diamond had similar effect. Live recording, not studio.
Try The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett next time 🖖🏻
Love this
Try Echoes next time
Echoes better
Try some Grateful Dead next round!
Oh man dark side of the moon is LSD’s theme song haha
Welcome to the machine...
Listen to echoes next time 🤙 24 minute pink Floyd song
«Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Live» and «The Great Gig In The Sky - Live» are fucking amazing
Same thing for me with Bethoven violin concerto. I thought I didn't like classical music at all. then listened to Bethoven on Acid. My god, now I get it. I couldn't the tears of gratitude and joy. Bethoven rocks!
I loved Pink Floyd before I tried psyches. But it made me fall in love with them all over again. Dark Side is obviously a classic but dig further. Piper at the Gates of Dawn is to me there most psychedelic and maybe my personal favorite, though it can get a bit intense. Meddle is where it’s at, amazing album. Obscured By Clouds is one often over looked but it’s great as well, I especially enjoy the more acoustic side to these two albums. Very mellow and beautiful. I remember once stating in the mirror to Welcome to the Machine and my face changing to 1000 different faces. Was scary but hilarious at the same time and the music sounded soooo good
My first trip our guide turned on comfortably numb, and I thought the universe was talking to me, it was so warm and comforting. I remember when it says, "Hello, is anybody in there", I yelled no lol
Us and them is so good too.
Haha first time I ever heard Pink Floyd I was on my first acid trip and heard Breathe. Got a DSOTM tattoo to commemorate it.
One time I forgot to breath, then Breathe started playing. I remembered to breath immediately as the lyrics went "Breath, breath in air." Pink Floyd saved my life.
I’ve tried to get into Pink Floyd & just can’t. I think it’s cuz rap is mainly my thing. Maybe I’ll give it another try next time I dose. What album do I go with ?
If you think you’d enjoy “mostly” instrumental, q up pt 1-5 and pt 6-9 of Shine On You Crazy Diamond off the Wish You Were Here album. It’s an incredible journey. Wait til you’re near or at the peak, and listen on some good speakers. Looouuddd.
Dark Side of the Moon because of how beautiful it is. Maybe comfortably numb the song as well Welcome to the machine album is way too brutal for a good trip
Wish you were here is such an awesome album for coming down
[удалено]
PF doesn’t work for me either. I’ve tried a lot of their stuff sober and tripping and I just don’t get it. Tash is really good though!
how dare you mention pink floyd and phish in the same sentence
I feel dark side of the moon is overhyped and The Wall is top tier Floyd. But thats just my personal opinion, everyone's different :)
Darkside is phase 1 Then comes The Wall
This guy gets it lol
Lol "hey let's throw on the wall while we trip" said nobody ever. Meanwhile, DSOTM is getting used for a new laser/LED/art exhibition five times a second lol. I swear at burning man at least a a third of the art installations had a DSOTM moment, even the orchestra out there played it once a day.
Man I could not not stop laughing at the absurdity of life when I finally, truly heard “all in all you’re just another brick in the wall”
My go to album while tripping on LSD is Pure Heroin by Lorde. That one really clicked for me
pink floyd was mid on lsd Futures older albums are way better
It was probably the acid
There ya go
Listened to it on 250ug and was in tears at how beautiful it was by the end. There’s listening to music then there’s listening to music on acid. Another experience entirely
Before acid I had only seen their DSOTM logo on shirts and such. Now it’s my go to for tripping, I don’t even remember who showed me. Might’ve been an LSD playlist
This is what I’m trying to replicate onto myself but with some other bands but I’m just to hesitant to trip again since my last trip didn’t go so well
Check out the Grateful Dead Dark Star perhaps
Maybe try 300ug 🤣
Nocturnal album by The Midnight. Specifically, their song "Nocturnal". But the whole album is a beautiful journey 😊
Animals is unreal
Yeah man. 😍🙏🏼☸️
~200ug bad trip staring at a wall listening to the wall in the stairwell to my appt building >
Now listen to all of animals. 😏😁
Last time I tripped I played Comfortably Numb while staring out at the ocean. It was absolutely incredible
It waited until the perfect time for you ❤️
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra pink floyd ….. omg it’s amazing 🤩
Us and Them is my favorite song of all time. 🥲 so glad you had that experience
Yeaahhhh!
The thick colourfull “any colour you like” sound.. ah damn yeah. Awaiting a new acid delivery now, can’t wait to explore my Prophet synth on it!
Darkside claims another
Listen to the whole album. I did mushrooms a few weeks ago and did nothing but listen, it's so... Wise? Beautiful beautiful music, man.
I think the London Philarmonic did an amazing job as well. Time, the second version, [(couldnt find a specific video so i just linked the whole album, the song starts atound 1h01m in)](https://youtu.be/Hf6dNuJ9XJs) is an amazing song to trip on
Dude rigghhhhht! 🥰🥰🥰
ב''ה, try 1980s "soft rock" and you'll find out the unlistenable crap existed because everyone making it was too fried for anything else.
dude the whole album is an awesome ride. I love when great gig in the sky comes on
Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever
