[ATTENDED: September 23, 2022] Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets [rescheduled from January 25, 2021]
Back in 2019 I saw Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets play old, obscure and unpopular Pink Floyd songs. And it was awesome.
When he first came up with the idea:
Mason says he wished to revisit songs that were staples of early Pink Floyd shows from 1969–1972, as well as other songs that were never performed live by Pink Floyd during this era. Mason said the group was not a tribute band, but that they wanted to “capture the spirit” of the era. And they were going to play some of “Atom Heart Mother,” my personal favorite.
The band would consist of (and still does) Dom Beken on keys, Lee Harris and Gary Kemp on guitars and vocals, and long time Pink Floyd collaborator Guy Pratt (man, he has played with EVERYBODY) on bass and vocals.
I enjoyed the Met Philly’s experience. But this time the show was going to be at the Miller Theater, part of the Kimmel Music Center complex. Although I was quite far back and I said
I didn’t get a close seat because I didn’t really think it would be worthwhile. But if he tours this show again (maybe with one or two different songs?) I would see them again, but I’d be much closer.
But this time, I decided to get even further away (sort of). I grabbed a seat in the top tier (4th balcony), but in the front row. I had a GREAT view! Until I realized that the metal safety bar was EXACTLY at my eye line when I sat back. So I had to lean up or down to see the whole stage. (more…)
I saw the Saucerful of Secrets show back in 2019 and loved it. I had okay seats, so I wanted to get closer if they ever did another one (which I never imaged they would).
