If I'm not mistaken, the footage at the start of the guy on the balcony was shot from the infamous 101 Cromwell Road. If you look on Google maps streetview & stand outside the Holiday Inn, looking slightly to the left, the road layout seems to match.. obviously alot of the cityscape has changed since 1967, new buildings erected, old victorian ones demolished etc.. but the restaurant on the corner is still there, 2 branches of the railway meet up here & go under the A4/ Crmwell rd..Great vid BTW!

@kolubukola -- Dude, it's just Super 8 footage. There is no 'why it was shot the way it was' or anything to do with acid.

does anybody know the title of this Song, or the Artist ?? it's amazing :)

You could say his story is sad but Syd found another mountain to climb.The mind is so little understood. Would we have done it better,differently or worse than Syd....who knows.Drugs are really no good either.....unless medical.Give him some credit for being so clever once and surviving so long in a changing world.

I'm pretty sure this isn't Syd's first trip. I heard he did it way before

@kolubukola it was his first experience on shrooms not acid

its not him on the balcony. It is a friend who was also on acid. the footage is from syds first experience with acid. It was documented by the band and friends of the band. That's why the footage is shot like it is.
