watch pink floyd live at pompeii too.
Yeah, this is stuff in their very early career. I do not think Money is trippy at all. It's about...money. Cash. The accumulation of crap. Wish You Were Here is an acoustic folk song about missing someone. I don't see what's trippy in either case.

Now Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine, Careful with that Axe Eugene - those are trippy, but they were also made in London in the Swingin' 60s.

Pink Floyd's most substantial output was in the 1970s, and those albums are bitterly serious, and I don't get what they have to do, at all, with drugs or being "trippy" or "psychedelic." In fact, the only overt drug references I can think of offhand are in The Wall, and they seem to be fairly negative.
