I'm sorry but this is the kind of thing considered profound by 1972 tic sniffers and qualuude gobblers.

Ahhhh, the good old days.

[Jack Lord]

I may do it with my kids soon since they are familiar with both the album and the movie. I doubt that I will be opening up my doors of perception other than with a hearty stout.

Careful dude. You may be setting up the new Haight-Ashbury over there in NOVA.

that' not 'noodling'! that's called [I]jamming[I]!
even as a sober nut, that era of music is some of the most endearing

Judy was fond of large doses of Seconal and may well have enjoyed such noodling.

Oh, I know what it was Alaric. The stumblebums who used it liked to think it was THC but it was some kind of downer, PCP perhaps but who knows? But you could smoke all the pot in the world and not get as messed up as a tic user.

I used to work as a bouncer for Jam Productions, a rock show promoter in Chicago. One rainy day we were watching the crowd lined up in the alley outside the Aragon Ballroom prior to a Scorpions show. Anyway this one kid was barefooted, barechested and covered in mud and we watched him drain a bottle of bumwine in a couple of swallows. So my buddy approaches him and says "You on drugs?"

The kid pounds his chest and replies "Me no drugs, me tic!".

[Alaric]

Yeah , PCP was sold as THC for quite a few years. Real THC vanished many years before crap stopped being marketed as such. When pot became very good , there was no real market for "T" . Waitaminnit-are we discussing this in PUBLIC??? Holy Shit! Prank caller-prank caller-I'm hanging up now!
There is a lot of music I liked from the 70s that , shall we say , lost it's charm whilst sober. The era and the music will never translate well. If you did it first , everything else is a pale copy.

[Alaric]

P.S. Did you see the Scorpions first U.S. tour? I saw them open for Uncle Ted at the Miami-Hollywood Sportatorium during the 'Zoo Tour'. Wow. There was a big riot outside , but what a concert.

Yeah, I know what you mean, same goes for lots of late 60s "hippy" music. I can still listen to Sam and Dave but not Jefferson Airplane.

I don't think that was the Scorpions first American tour, not sure. I saw Foghat their first American tour, they opened for the Kinks at the Aragon and blew the Kinks right out of town. Man, what a show Foghat put on.

[Alaric]

I loved Foghat! The best concert I ever saw had a local band open , then Motorhead , Foghat , Blue Oyster Cult , and Heart as the headliner. BOC wouldn't be the same without the independent salesmen wandering around with 'Red Dragon-Orange Sunshine-Blue Dolphin" , but Ann Wilson sounded better live than any Heart album I've ever heard. I think it was 1984. The Miami Baseball Stadium was a terrible venue , but it was a fantastic show. I saw Uncle Ted 10 or 12 years in a row in S. FL , and always enjoyed it. Also saw Floyd , ZZ Topp , Bad Co. , etc. I had tickets to see Led Zep in Miami when it got rained out , and got the replacement tix to see them in Gainesville. Heard John Bohnam died and flushed the tickets. AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH!

Used to roadie for a local Chicago band by the name of The Odd. They were a Jam Productions group.

Im sorry as well, but you really should know what your talking about before making such bold claims.

What, you mean spinning Pink Floyd while watching The Wizard of Oz ISN"T the kind of thing downer users think profound?

Oh, I don't think that <everyone> who spins Pink Floyd while watching The Wizard of Oz is a qualuude or tic user. Though I suspect they have much in common.

As for Pink Floyd's penchant for drug induced noodling, well I was trying to put a good face on it; God forbid such aimless musical blather has another cause.

Here's the NFO from the original Usenet (newsgroups) post back in 2003.
This was a public domain release 4 years ago and the author never sold these on eBay for obvious reasons.

The Dark Side Of The Rainbow
aka
The Dark Side Of Oz

This disc contains the movie "The Wizard Of Oz" (1939) synced up with audio
from the album "Dark Side Of The Moon" by Pink Floyd (1973).

http://members.cox.net/stegokitty/dsotr_pages/dsotr.htm

This is a custom made, high quality production. I did a lot of research and
work to make sure everything syncs up properly throughout the whole movie.

Getting this synced by hand is extremely difficult. Normally the method people
use is to start playing the CD about 3rd lion roar after the start of the movie.
This is difficult to do, and does not help with re-syncing after the first
playing of the album. Some of the best coolest syncs are during 2nd playing
of the album.

You will notice a three second pause in the audio about 32 minutes into the
movie, during the scene change from Munchkin land to the scarecrow. This is
because the Wizard of Oz copies released after 1989 had restored footage, 1
/2 second before the munchkin scene and 3 seconds after, which would
messes up the sync (Dark Side of the Moon was released in 1973, and
thus the 1973 version of the movie would have been what was used if the bad
did this match on purpose. ) I added a break in the album at this point (during
the first playing of the album only) to allow the album to resync to the movie.

While working with the audio streams from the Movie and Pink Floyd CD, the sound
was never compressed. I only worked with the audio data in .wav format, to
preserve the highest sound quality.

This disc includes several audio tracks. The first is just the Pink Floyd album
playing by itself. The second is both the original movie soundtrack and the
Pink Floyd album playing at the same time. The third is the english sound track
by itself. The Fourth audio track is the French dubbed movie soundtrack,
and the Fifth audio track is the Spanish dubbed movie soundtrack.

English, French, and Spanish subtitles are also included.

I hope you have as much fun watching this as I did making it.

[Rex Everything]

This is absolute B.S. I've been hearing people claim this for decades and have even been forced to try and see it myself but it just does not work. I guess if you look for anything hard enough you'll find it.

Even the Floyd has denounced this crap.
