Tripping with Light Shows

So in October, I went to a Phish show at Rochester's Blue Cross Arena. Phish played incredibly, and the light show was unbelievably colorful, intense, and merciless. Tripping on 2 tabs of LSD, the light show seemed to rip me a new one, and it helped Phish blow my brains all over the walls of the arena.
Does anyone else really love the light shows at certain concerts while tripping? Do some of you find t too intense to handle?
Also, I was on LSD at Phish, but feel free to add comments about mushrooms or whatever other psychedelics in relation to your anecdotes!

He really does, I have seen a lot of cool light shows and that definitely topped them all. He did a phenomenal job! Most of the concert I was either dancing or gazing endlessly at the lights and the band haha

I used to be employed by my high school's district to run our auditorium's lighting, sound & video systems for everything from our school plays, variety shows, & battles of bands's to town meetings, school assemblies, and a church group for 2 years every Sunday. We spent a lot of time there, but some organizations had bigger budgets than others. Because I, my brother, and a few of our other buddies were the guys and they didn't know where to start, we got to order whatever we wanted in budget. We experimented with everything from rigging up truss configurations, strobes, movers, 400W blacklights, colorblaze's, and had a blast working there til 11pm chilling, blasting music, shenanigans around the school, etc. We hung 5 disco balls on multiple battens around the house seats and things could get so trippy in there real fast. Oh, there was a rule scratched into the concrete attic wall: "Thou shalt always have at any venue, a fog machine, well lubricated and forever filled with fluid."
I've always thought about the crazy shit I'd try if I ever sat behind a board again, its been a while and I'm sure technology has advanced in 5 years. Haven't been to see Phish yet, but Tool's and Phish's lighting designer's are equally creative, and that Tool show was spectacular.

Sometimes I think so too!! It energizes me, makes me dance, and turns light shows into incredible displays of art and color. (Although they already are, especially when done with great skill) At Phish I remember telling my friend that "Phish is like another whole tab of acid on top of the two I already took!" haha

One of my buddys ate some shrooms at a show in 98. He passed out during Piper. And right before he knocked out, he was sort of mumbling about the lights. I think it all just sort of overwhelmed him.

Yes. String Cheese shows greatly enhanced by their lights. Just look at the YouTube vids of NYE 2012 to see what I mean. Crazy!!

If I missed Piper I would've been so upset.
That sucks, I hope he was okay and all! A buddy of mine who went to Phish with us also had a hard time... it must've been overwhelming, definitely. I also didn't know that he had PTSD, which caught me off guard... I wouldn't have recommended he take a dose if I knew he had PTSD! Poor guy looked pale as a ghost most of the show. (No pun intended)

I know what you mean, Piper is one of my favorite songs. My friend was alright. He came to right away, and then chilled in the grass for a bit.
We laugh about it now, because when it happened, his brother started laughing at him, until we told him it was his brother. At which point he immediately stopped laughing and dropped to his knees to check on him.
