What are the earliest examples of psychedelic video? For music everyone seems to agree that the first psychedelic song was 8 miles high, but I can't find an answer for film. The movies from 1966 and 1967 seem to just portray people tripping by projecting multicolored lights onto their mostly naked bodies. But then by 1969(?), you have this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxzFUX5a3xg

Which is basically the same as Altered States, and everything after up until the era of computer graphics. But is there anything in between, before that spirit in the sky video?
