Has anyone seen this amateur video? I imagine many of you have. I was overcome with sadness watching it. Almost like he was my friend, who was starting a decline through drug use. I practically cried- well maybe I'm just a mental case. They way he looked at all the things around him in nature reminded me of past experiences, but I'm fortunate enough not to be an acid using schizophrenic.
- HeyBurningGuy - 12-29-2005 12:35 PM
Aheh... that's why I don't really want to watch it, even though I know where to find it. :(
- palmbayguitarist11 - 12-29-2005 02:48 PM
Where do you find it?
- HeyBurningGuy - 12-29-2005 02:51 PM
HERE along with some other Syd videos. You can also search for 'pink floyd' on there and get tons of results.

There was a lot of mind altering drugs, natural & chemical, in the 60's

Huh...I'd love to see Syd on drugs, I've seen one picture where he looks really high, and he looks pretty happy. But, you guys are saying that in this movie clip he is sad...why?
- grimp - 01-06-2006 09:49 AM
I hate to double post here, but, where the hell is the movie? I really want to see it! If you don't want a bunch if people seeing it, then could you just PM the site to me, please?
- FigureOut - 01-06-2006 11:27 AM
i want to see it too. why is it sad??
- somekid - 01-06-2006 03:25 PM
he looks so out of it. like he is not even there! and that if that hadent happend mabey just mabey! we would still have a syd in pink floyd.
- Metabog - 01-08-2006 12:52 AM
I have it, but you should see the one where they are playing Jugband Blues, Syd looks destroyed, he doesen't even move his eyes, he just flails his arms around playing the guitar.
- palmbayguitarist11 - 01-08-2006 07:47 AM
The "Syd's First Trip" video is actually quite boring I must say and I couldn't get through the whole thing. Nothing too awful special.

I see an abstarct artist under the influence of an abstract drug. He may not have been the Syd you know had he not dosed on LSD many times beforehand... What you know of him - his lyrics, his ideas, his life - may not be what is was if he hadn't taken acid. The way I see it, there would be no Piper at the Gate of Dawn if there was no combination of Barrett + Acid. Therefore, there would be no Pink Floyd. (at least, the one we know and love)

I agree wholeheartedly.
- benerack - 05-18-2006 06:11 PM
i finally saw this video. i think the reason why its making all of you so sad is that its sad/scary/spacy music playing overtop of it. honestly, put some really cool psychadelick music on there and i can guarantee you that you wont feel sorry for him. i bet he had an awesome trip too, but i for some reason doubt its his first trip. if it is, i've never seen anyone take their first trip of lsd so calmly. haha
- floydian72 - 05-18-2006 06:20 PM
well where do you find it?
- benerack - 05-18-2006 06:24 PM
just go to youtube.com and type in syd's first trip.
it probably wont be the first video so just scroll down a bit and if its not on the main page, just click to the second page of results matching you search.
- floydian72 - 05-18-2006 06:31 PM
is it the one where hes running around in a field?
- benerack - 05-18-2006 06:34 PM
i think. he's like climbing rocks and clearly tripping out. and he puts mushrooms (possibly, not sure if they are rocks or muchrooms) over his eyes and mouth and ****. he looks at a leaf for a bit and **** and then takes off his coat and whatnot.
- Pinks Pig - 05-24-2006 10:13 AM
The video that everyone's seen called Syd's first trip,wasn't really Syd's first ever trip.

Waving my arms in the air
love, my love, got no care
no care, no, no, pressing my feet to the ground
stand up right where you stand
call to you and what do you do
laying back in a chair?
she's so high on the air
she's so high on the air
half and half, half and half
all you have to do to call
is hold her hand, stand a while
and then smile and we'll understand
yes we do - yes, yes we do!
Oh what a girl I got too!
Oh what a girl I got too!
with her slinky look she held her tie to her hair
(and I) could see everywhere
no-one in the land, no-one
no-one in the land, no-one
but it rains on Saturday - cats and dogs in the hay
stormy day, hey, hey
and you shouldn't try to be
what you can't be
and you shouldn't try to be
what you can't be
call to you and what do you do
There will be shoulders pressing in the hall
and I won't know if you're here at all
there will be wine and drinking in the yard
there won't be anybody very hard
there will be lots of things that we can do
and all and more will be for you
everything I knew I tried with you
but everything to you was never easy
so I went ahead around my world
I saw the things you do arriving by your side
to see you looking too
but I know this. I know, I never lied to you
it's been just like you're gone
for just one day for so long!
It's been so hard to bear with you not there
but though I think of you, the things you do
when I'm with you, to be with you,
to be alone...can only think:
"Why I am here? What's meant to be?"

- mabewa - 05-24-2006 11:41 PM
I wouldn't recommend those kind of drugs to anyone. But, I was raised by hippies, and I can say that there is a right and wrong way to have trips. A first trip SHOULD be very calm--it should be in a place like a remote, beautiful, safe beach far from authority figures, surrounded by trusted friends, including at least someone who has experience with the drug, and someone who isn't tripping. (that person can be the same person, or two different people). In that circumstance, the chance of a bad trip would be much lower than one taken in the wrong circumstances.
What do I mean by the wrong circumstances? Well, I remember kids who used to trip AT SCHOOL. I just can't believe that. I mean, if I had ever done that, I would have been convinced that the teachers knew I was tripping, and I would have acted so weird as a result that the probably would have figured out that I was high on something... and then I would have been sent to the principals office--and by the time THAT happened, it would have definitely turned into a bad trip.
Actually, my brother had a nice trip on a beach once--the only problem was, it was a beach IN SEATTLE, and he innocently took off his clothes, and then the cops got him and put him in a straightjacket... well, you can imagine what kind of trip THAT turned out to be.
Speaking of PF, Piper, Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, OBC, Relics and are appropriate soundtracks for tripping. MAYBE DSotM and WYWH as well. But, I remember kids at my school telling me that they listened to Animals and The Wall while tripping! WTF??? Yeah, I'm sure that Animals sounds really weird while tripping, and while I love the album, listening to depressing music while tripping is a very good way to get very weirded-out indeed. Echoes is perfect, Dogs is a bad trip embodied in music.
Meditate, travel, learn a foreign languages. These are much safer and healthier ways of expanding your mind.
- grimp - 05-25-2006 05:13 AM
I don't know, I'd love to listen to Animals while tripping, that albums is about as cynical and angry as I am. Also, It has Dave rocking out, and for some reason, I don't hear that enough.

I'm not sure it was taken in a field...I mean I did it in a park once...
Also, it lasts for about 12 hours so...it could have been taken anywhere.

A field is not a bad place to take LSD. A lot of very mundane thing s suddenly seem very interesting.
- Madcap17 - 05-26-2006 06:40 PM
Yeah out in a field or somewhere in nature is much more rewarding than taking a psychedelic in a room inside.
- floydian72 - 05-26-2006 07:02 PM
i could see a forrest being more interesting than a field on a trip.

Meditate, travel, learn a foreign languages. These are much safer and healthier ways of expanding your mind.
and then, theres spirituality drug users. i am this kind of drug user. instead of getting as ****** up as possible, i take the right amount of the drug so i can still think. coming up with silly or serious theories is my idea of a fun night instead of getting totally ****** up.
i've tripped tons of times on lsd, shrooms, salvia and hash/weed. and i like it alot. i've never done heroin or coke, but i have done extacy. i dont like e at all. its too much of a hastle and just a waste of time. not even that fun really.
people just need to take these drugs seriously because, they can **** up your life. they can take control of your life, or they can benefit you, it all depends on what you want to get out of it. lsd, for me, is like the ultimate drug. you are the driver when it comes to lsd. you run the trip you want and you get what you want out of it. if you want to just trip out and laugh for 8+ hours. then do it. if you want to search through your mind for answers to life. then do it. there are so many possibilities with lsd. but, then again, its a very risky drug at the same time.
hahahha. and by far, dark side of the moon is my favorite album to listen to when under the influence.

^^^- ha ah ha ah. are you implying that i'm attempting to convince myself that the drugs i do aren't bad?
i could be. its more so about me convincing people who are against drugs or hear crazy rumors. i remember the first time i smoked weed, rumors began around school that i was hard into meth and **** and it ended up me being banned from my friends house cuz a teacher told a rumor to my friends mom that i was hard into meth and ****.
