Live trips...their name may be taken from Hesse but I like to think it was an amalgam of Siddhartha, Syd Barrett and Arthur Lee. Syd Arthur...Syd would be proud.
Blues MaGoos, Psychedelic Lollypop Appearing with that great psychedelic hippie freak Jack Benny...excellent live (not lip-synched). I loved Jack so much...what a great show. MTV & VH1 eat your heart out. Tobacco Road..such a great psych treatment of this classic that everyone seemed to cover in the 60's.
Pretty much the whole “Surrealistic Pillow” by Jefferson Airplane or “In Search of a Lost Chord” by Moody Blues.
Wanna have fun? Spin "Ummagumma" or Naked City's "Absinthe" for the unwashed and watch their reactions. Lulz

Manufactured drugs were never my thing recreationally, but religious customs introduced me to the consciousness-altering effects of a naturally occurring psychedelic botanical. And no I am not referring to marijuana, which is psychotropic but not psychedelic. About the only types of music I did not find particularly enjoyable during the effects of the experience were baroque period classical, operatic, European Folk, Oriental, Raga, and some forms of Russian dance music. Particularly enthralling were some pieces I listened to in the forms of Arabic maqam; Anatolian popular folk and rock; West-central African Highlife; 60s North American psychedelic rock; Native American traditional; a few particular South American folk genres including Bolivian Morenada, Brazilian Bossa Nova, and Andean folk.
Lots of experiences. Went to over 100 Grateful Dead shows. Ingested many psychedelic substances. Live Dead was great for having a great trip but recordings of them leave me feeling cold. I like to listen to all types of music depending on what substances I've taken (fyi it's been years since I did any of this aside from the occasional toke). I usually liked acoustic music that wasn't too far out while tripping. It just put me in a good place. But that's just me. YRMV
< hold on there I thought I knew, until. Turns out there isn't just one single definitive "psychedelic experience."
Interesting. I’ll have to check those out when and if I ever have the opportunity. I had my suspicions about the Seal - it’s a great album, and there are some really trippy mixes on the ‘Crazy’ maxi-single. Another one along these lines (not overtly psychedelic on the surface, but once you’ve heard it there won’t be any doubt about the intentions) is ‘Songs From The Big Chair’ by Tears For Fears. After hearing this in a psychedelic state, there will be no doubt what they meant by “Big Chair”.
