@NirvanaWarhols Syd is actually tripping in the video. I can't remember if it's acid or shrooms, but I definitely remember finding the site of the guy who actually filmed it. He was selling DVD's of it, and I think that's how the footage got circulated. I can't remember the guy's name, but the site was legit and real.

@masteraddavarlden Are you sure? Nigel Gordon's official site (the guy who filmed this) claims it's mushrooms.

I don't think it's bad that this video is circulating. It shows Syd having a good trip. Let's be honest, if it wasn't for Syd taking psychedelics, the Pink Floyd would have stayed a rhythm and blues band.

It's just sad he went WAY over the edge later on. Combine that with the pressures of fame and shady people in his life, and you've got a recipe for disaster.

@TheOneartist It's acid, he just found shrooms there (just regular mushrooms I believe). And this is NOT his first trip, far from first.

David Gilmour actually bought the rights to this vid because he didn't want it to circulate

60 people don't know THE LEGEND.

@lafleurR1ddl3 First trip on shrooms, from what I understand. But not his first psychedelic trip, because he'd done acid before.

[TheOneartist]

@6789drummerboy Depends on how much you take. If you take a higher dose of shrooms, it can leave you lying down barely able to move because of the intensity of the experience. I had my most intense trip a day ago.

I don't think it's defined by the activeness. I've seen videos and read about people taking acid and being very active. I have a friend who's dropped acid at concerts.

It all depends on dose and how sensitive you are, regardless of acid or shrooms.

[6789drummerboy]

@TheOneartist by the looks of it, he was on shrooms because he's very active. i've never tried shrooms, but i have tried acid, and it doesn't tend to make one very active. i was personally scared out of my mind for a few minutes during the trip and the rest of the time, i was laying on my friend's couch staring at his tv screen as he played geometry wars. at least, that's what it did for me.

@3lullabies I'm totally confused... are you refering to the same person? You used both his names several times to confuse me!

A very well done vid.has a sense of calm about it,feels natural and soothing.good to see Roger having fun.I was born in 1967,so I got my love of Syd from my dads music.This helps me to see my favorite musician in a way I was too young to appreciate.The vital,energetic,young Roger,unscarred,and young enough to still find wonder in the world,makes me happy.
