Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets

Toronto show was awesome. Perfect setlist. "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" blew my mind. That was just epic. They were damn loud. My ears are still ringing.

 

He would need to get the permission of the composers to put any songs on a video release, so what it would include would be to the other 4 and/or their estates.

 

Agreed, Dom Beken's parts were too low in the mix.

 

I was there. We were blown away.

 

So.... is today a rehearsal day with Roger ?
"Cirrus Minor" perhaps ? "Free Four" ?

 

The former was originally sung by David, though written by Roger.

That said, “Free Four” with very special guest would be awesome.

 

Set the Controls, One of These Days would be easy calls.....but gimme Saucerful of Secrets! Bang a gong one more time before it's too late!

 

I don't think they'd rehearse a new song for Roger. Set the Controls seems obvious. Would love to see them fight it out for the gong!

 

Nick is not going to let Rog near that gong. It's all his now!

 

I’m going on Thursday, so Roger will definitely make an appearance on Friday!

 

Has Guy Pratt ever actually met Roger before ?

 

I’m going to both, so Roger won’t show up at all.

 

I’ll be at the show tomorrow

 

Or "Careful With That Axe Eugene"...

 

Saturday's show in Boston was amazing. It's the Pink Floyd I've always wanted to see as the pre-Dark Side era is my favorite. I was very surprised that Boston wasn't sold out but don't think that would be the case if they come around again, and I certainly hope they do! Knowing what I know now I would have headed down to CT as well.

 

They must’ve met, guy has been part of the family for 30 years and was married to Wright’s daughter I think so it’s hard to imagine they haven’t crossed paths...: altho I Suppose anything's possible with these guys

 

Atom Heart Mother

 

Nick confirmed a live album from the tour.

“ I thought Brad Pitt could play me and Danny DeVito can play David, and maybe Bette Midler would play Roger,” he says

Lolol

 

Yes, but I think that song is very well suited for Roger's voice and range, and the song never had any live history as far as I know.

 

Where does it say this?

 

Glad to hear all the positive reviews for this show!

I can't believe how dirt cheap (relatively speaking, of course) tickets were for this concert!

I'm very much looking forward to it!

 

Here’s hoping that David turns up and plays at the Cambridge gig, his birthplace and where it all kicked off.

Ticket prices have been cut for tonight and Friday night's show.....out there on TM.
59 for orchestra seats in the outside 2 sections of the orchestra (orch 3) and 89 for the next 2 orch sections closer to the middle (orch 2)
I think theres a lone pair in the center (orch 1) about 15 rows back for 89.

Take a lot of pride in the neverending battle to get good seats for as little as possible, if anything, but Ticketmaster definitely won this round.....
Still looking very much forward to tonight, I never thought in a million years we would get to see something as unique as this.

 

Mason says fans can expect a live Saucerful album, and while he has given up on a full-blown Floyd reunion, the band still remains a working entity in some ways.

“The funny thing is once you reach a certain point it sort of continues under its own steam, so there are things like the V&A exhibition in London, and that’s now traveling and that was great fun to do,” Mason says of 2017’s “Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains.” He says he “was very involved” in the exhibit, which he says “we’re planning to open again in Europe in Spain in the next few months and the big thing will be to then bring it to America.”
