Nick Mason Saucerful of Secrets coming to North America in 2019

[Trane]

I got the vinyl copy in the mail pretty recently. I should put it on the ol' turntable this weekend.

Does the vinyl issue have the film on DVD or BR inside?

Cos IMHO, that is the main attraction, the visuals such the Roundhouse... Not sure I will ever spin the CDs.
I mean the early Floyd tracks version are nice, but they're definitely not the definitive versions.
IMHO again, without the film, the live albums (CD or vinyl) are not essential. FTM, if the DVD existed as a stand-alone (probably less expensive without the CDs or vinyls tagged in), I would've gone for that

It's like the DSOT reissue thing, I went for the stand-alone DVD, cos I saw no point in getting the non-visual discs, despite a few (often unessential) extra tracks.

Saw it on TV a while back (though it was sped up...Guy Pratt commented on this on his Twitter account as well). Really enjoyed it...IMHO it was far better than Gilmour or Waters' most recent tour films, which I've also watched on TV. TBH I wasn't over-enamoured with the vocals but they don't play that big a role.

There is a stand-alone blu-ray edition, but the price is only a little less than the CD+DVD. I don't have the vinyl to confirm, but I don't think it comes with a video disc.

My vinyl copy did not come with any video discs, so I don’t think they’re packaged together. It doesn’t bother me really, as I rarely watch concert videos at home.

Just bought the download

Is it a pain in the arse flipping so many times on vinyl?

I dunno... It depends on my mood.

I bought the CD/DVD package of this and it's absolutely brilliant. To see/hear this music played with such enthusiasm, love and enjoyment brings a big smile to my face.
I made a decision to forgo seeing this band in Malta while I was working/living there - an old friend was visiting from Australia. I should have gone - my friend would have understood.

Gary and Guy have an interesting Podcast series out now called Rockenteurs, where they take a music biz mate aside and chat over their career in music. The first episode fittingly was with Nick Mason, but there have been a whole load of very informative chats with some really big names in music.

Nick's tour of the US in the spring of 2022 has postponed until later in the year. Not surprising in Covid world.

Not surprising at all.


I was hoping to get tickets for the Pittsburgh show, but never did. I can't imagine it didn't sell out.

I have a front row seat at The Fox Theater in Oakland and will happily wait until it comes around.

Personally, I'd rather be further back to take in the entire stage.

I understand. To each his own. I always like to be as close as possible.

I found the 2CD & DVD set on promo and loved the show. It's kind of a sophisticated "cover" band who takes an obvious pleasure to play and perform these tracks live. I like it when they jump around like teenagers ( sorry but a bit the opposite of the actual Genesis tour)the music gains a freshness and the choice to play the Roundhouse (and smaller venues in general) is perfect. Nick Mason is / was a bit the underrated Floyd guy in terms of taste, for me the fact that he produced Robert Wyatt and Carla Bley puts him in a special league. I missed them in Paris , hope to see them at another occasion

Went to the concert in Bath on Saturday, fantastic show and now Echoes is in the setlist.

Nice!

[Geoff O'Donoghue]

The band are currently in Australia and I went to the Brisbane concert last night. It's a great show and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who's a fan of PF's 67-72 material.

Top tracks for me were Remember a Day, Astronomy Domine, The Nile Song, Childhood's End and, of course, Echoes.
