    I currently have only two songs that i think will be awesome songs to drop some acid to, fire on the mountain and touch of grey.

    any suggestions? looking for happy upbeat songs :)

    This song was pretty great on my first acid trip.

    Foolish Heart
    Dark Star (if you really wanna space out)
    Moring Dew
    The Wheel


    any of them really, that band rules.

    Edit: St. Stephen is a must

    Admittedly it's not the 'trippiest' Grateful Dead Song I've heard, this is the most memorable GD song I've had on a trip.

    'Crazy Fingers'
    I finally heard a good version on Sirius. Most of mine are old taped ones. Theres a lot going on in that song.

    Good one!

    "Dark Star" is the thing for you. When you're ready for more, "Terrapin Station" is a good second choice.

    Ripple -
    I was tripping the first time I heard Ripple, and it blew my mind. My friend I were having a conversation about our experience, during the experience, (always entertaining) and then Ripple came on, it just hit so perfectly, and carried us through the rest of the night.

    Anthem is good but it's cobbled stuff from early 68 which is killer. Do yourself a favor and go buy the boys at the Carousel Ballroom from 02-14-68 and listen to that instead. Also make sure you have some stuff around from November or December of 73 for starters.
