Psychedelic Rock

[casperwraith]

I'm looking to go on a trip soon and I want to stock up on a playlist. I'm looking for psychedelic videos set to 'old school' 60s and 70s style psychedelic rock. I don't really have anything against post-rock or electronic, but I think everyone has a preferred means of travelling, and this is mine. I'm posting two examples here:

1. Sunset Rubdown - Black Swan -

2. Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive (set to video from 2001) -

Note that when I say 'rock' I don't mean loud music or even aggressive music or even music from the 60s or 70s. I'm looking for music which sounds like it could have been timestamped from back then. Any other good videos from this genre?

Oh man, you would love gwar, and lamb of god man.. Cannibal corpse man.. You would love it man I swear!!!!! ;p Haha just kidding dude.. Here check out jefferson airplane, red hot chilli peppers, THE VERVE (If you check out any of these, make sure this one is seen. Listen to the song "Gravity Grave" it is really good, and I will give you a torrent download link for the cd, extremely pyschedelic and rocky, it is magnificent), Hendrix, Floyd, you know all of those. But I highly suggest getting a Hendrix live cd, and listening to it.. It seriously makes you see and feel a concert around you. It is beautiful. Well on shrooms, I listened to this cd straight with 2 friends in the woods. I guess the "Woods" Somehow correlated my tripping mind to "wood"Stock ;p

Also, check out this band called MGMt. now I wouldn't say they are 60's stlye.. Well, maybe a little like Bowie(Check him out too! If you haven't heard of David Bowie, which I find very improbable) But they seriously will blow your brain if you listen to them while trippin.. Just the repetition.. Here hang on, I will post videos of all the bands.. Its a mixture of trying to help you out on your first post, and boredom..

This is a good psychedelic rock atmosphere, it is MGMT, listen all the way through, the last few minuted of guitar solo is repetitive and beautiful!

The verve, gravity grave.

jefferson airplane, white rabbit.

red hot chilli peppers, otherside. (Lyrics are powerful, when tripping)

ALSO, check out the bands animal collective, deerhunter, atlas sound, grizzly bear, Balkan beat box (Haha this will give you a GIANT mind FUCK if you are trippin dude.. Weird..) Dead can dance, Neon Indian. Those are some very trippy bands... Like not classic rock AT all, but make sure and cjeck them out, if you wanna hear some wierd shit.. Here I will post videos of my favorite songs by them.. Hang on..

Animal collective - street flash (Not my favorite song, but the lyrics are powerful, and it is just a good song.. Don't listen to the famous ones.. Just get a cd or something, I suggest "Sung Tongs")

Deerhunter - Little kids (Awesome, great band, I suggest Microcastle for an indie rock feel, and cryptograms for weirdness..)

Atlas sound - walkabout (same guy as deerhunter, GREAT!)

Grizzly bear - Ready, able (Best video EVER! And great song too!!!)

Balkan Beat Box (MIND FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Dead can dance - saltrello (GREAT SONG!!! VERY MAGICAL! Also all their stuff kinda sounds like this, not really though.. Check out other songs.. I had a breakthrough experience with this song once though, that is why I posted it.)

Ozric Tentacles play a modern version of psychedelic rock /krautrock. Sometimes you might as well call them post rock, sometimes they are almost electronic ambient. Good psychedelic live-band stuff in any case!

you really gotta listen to this one, it starts relatively mild, but becomes intensely trippy at around 3:30:

^Ozrics aren't toally my style, but they have some good stuff. I like the song "Erpland". They do have some great album art.

Well, I have 2 suggestions right off the bat. I'm surprised they haven't been mentioned yet.

The first, as cliché as it seems, is Grateful Dead. They have a nice, mellow, soft rock sound, but with a certain psychadelic air about it. Their music has a very good vibe to it, whenever I'm high (or in general) and start to feel anxious or paranoid, I just play some Grateful Dead, and I feel fine.

try to hear the studio version of Casey Jones. I couldn't find it on youtube and it's better than any live version I've heard

The other,

I LOVE Yes. I mean, it seriously might be an addiction. I'd reccomend everything from Time and a Word (1968) through Relayer (1974), and beyond that, depends on your taste. Corresponding to several of their numerous lineup changes, after they split up and reformed at the end of the 70's their sound got a bit more pop, but they still had some good stuff. As I understand their sound changed again going into the 90's. I read an interview with Steve Howe recently saying that they have some new material, and if all goes well and they see it through they're looking to have a new album out around the start of next summer. Here's a few of my favorites:

check out the 3rd movement and giotar solo, it will blow you away. You can't hear it on this video, but it's actually two solos, one left channel and one right channel, and it fades back and forth between the two.

Chris Squier TEARING IT UP on bass, he's amazing, and also the only person to play on every Yes album.

Here's Close To The Edge, when they started doing some more experimental stuff...a 3 song LP I'd call experimental, with the title track at almost 19 minutes.

check out Tales From Topographic Oceans. Jon Anderson had the idea for the work, a 4-part piece based on the Shastic Scriptures. It spans an entire double-LP, and contains some of the greatest prog-rockery Yes has ever produced (ok, that bit's strictly opinion ).

last one, I promise. secong song on Relayer, which is structured like Close To The Edge; one full side track followed by two 9-10 miute tracks. Great sound quality on this vid.

I haven't gotten into much of their later stuff, 80's and 90's, just yet, but there's still plenty of Yes music I've never heard, so if you like what you hear, go searching.
