Cover art for Any Colour You Like lyrics by Pink Floyd

Actually Roger did Psychadelics a few times, I think 3 to be exact. Rick was bigger into drugs than the others and would often experiment with Syd. So it was Rick and Syd, and then Roger and Nick would often drink (not excessively or anything). David smoked weed but I don't know what else he did. Haha in the Live at Pompeii, during Mademoissle Nobs (Seamus) look at David's eyes...There red as shit...anywho Rick started doing cocaine later in the 70's and that was one of the reasons Roger booted him. Now I don't like it how any sort of different/mildly avant-garde band is deemed a drug centered band, it is more often than not the case. It really is much better to listen to Dark Side of the Moon under the influence; The Floyd are famous for creating (In there early years at least) a wall of sound. Their instruments blend like an orchestra its amazing... When u are stoned however you can single out any instrument and notice backround sounds you would have never noticed before.

Anyways this song is AMAZING, one of my favorite on DSOTM. I think a lot of us kids who listen to Dark Side today, just skip over this track along with Great Gig and On the Run, because its instrumental...that is doing a disjustice to themselves. A lot of Pink Floyd's instrumentals are amazing..like most of Ummagumma, the title track from More, a few from Obscured by Clouds, One of these Days and so on...The Pink Floyd started out as a jam band. Just take a look at early jams like Interstellar Overdrive or Nick's Boogie. Theres a great bootlegged jam called Sunshine, I do believe it was during Syd's era...hard to tell though cause of no singing (I found it on Winmx) a while ago.
