Nick Mason In Concert

As Pink Floyd's original drummer and co-founder of one of the most iconic acts in music history, Nick Mason was on the scene when psychedelic rock first took shape in the late 1960s in London. While his band ventured in many other directions over the following decades, the paths they blazed in their early years remain some of the most thrilling. That's why there's so much excitement around the drummer's latest venture.

Named after the second of Pink Floyd's albums, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets revisits the songs that helped forge this trippy new sound. According to Mason, it's not a cover or tribute act. It's an effort to "capture the spirit" of the psychedelic era, which reached its first peaks of intensity and imagination in the music the band created with its first singer, Syd Barrett.

Mason renewed his connection to those times when he curated the Pink Floyd box set ‘The Early Works: 1965-1972' in 2016. No wonder he was so receptive when former Ian Dury and the Blockheads guitarist Lee Harris suggested he return to the stage with a new band to perform these songs. The prospect was all the more enticing because much of this material was never played live by Pink Floyd at the time, due to their troubled frontman's forced departure before the second album's release in 1968.

Teaming Mason and Harris with ex-Spandau Ballet singer Gary Kemp, longtime Pink Floyd touring bassist Guy Pratt, and keyboardist Dom Beken, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets made their live debut in London in May of 2018. The rapturous reception led to a new series of performances, marking Mason's first concert tour since his final shows in support of Pink Floyd's ‘The Division Bell' in 1994.

Mason and his collaborators are equally adept at performing hypnotic rockers — like "Astronomy Domine" and "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" — and the sunny-yet-sinister psych-pop of "See Emily Play" and "Arnold Layne." They make Pink Floyd's psychedelic breakthroughs feel just as vital and revelatory to audiences now as they did a half-century ago.

    Great show!

    by K. K. on 5/18/19Beacon Theatre - New York

    This was a really great show! Nick and the Saucerful of secrets played a lot of early Pink Floyd stuff which I haven't heard live in years. Also, Roger Waters showed up as a surprise guest and performed "Set the Controls ..." together with the band. Other highlights were "One of these Days", "Saucerful of Secrets", "Interstellar Overdrive".

    What a Trip thru the Time Machine

    by Mitro on 5/6/19DAR Constitution Hall - Washington

    It was an intimate venue to hear early Pink Floyd tunes (all pre-Dark Side of the Moon). The show was clearly low-budget. But the band were terrific and clearly loved being able to play these classic songs for us. They were not hawking any album or merchandise. Many other fans said exactly what I felt : I never thought I'd get to hear these tunes played live. Last time I heard Pink Floyd live was in 1970 at the Boston Tea Party. If anything, the musicianship at this concert was better than in 1970. Astronomy Domine, Interstellar Overdrive, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, One of These Days, and other great compositions that have gotten over-shadowed by later compositions. Only the parking arrangement sucked. Parking has always been a problem for this venue tucked in downtown D.C. I am so glad that I went and took my wife along.

    A Saucerful of Secrets Indeed

    by J. R. on 4/30/19DAR Constitution Hall - Washington

    Great venue. Fantastic show. Nick Mason's band really brought me back to the old days of Pink Floyd, staying true to the old songs, but not replicating them note for note. Beyond the songs I expected to hear, they played many unexpected/rare gems. I couldn't hide the joy this show gave me. I had a big stupid grin attached to my face the entire night.

    all the songs you never heard at a David or Roger show. Shea's theatre is a spectacularly beautiful venue. Thank you Nick for an exciting wonderful show!

    Smashing Performance!

    by RP on 4/29/19DAR Constitution Hall - Washington

    20+ songs all from the early days, nothing post Obscured by Clouds. A special shout out to Syd Barrett with Vegetable Man, and many kind words. Fantastic! A+++ I'd go see this show 10 more times if I could, it was that good! Nick hasn't lost a beat, and his band was just fantastic, that is really what I think! Not to be missed!

    Early Pink Floyd music

    by Zman on 4/27/19Beacon Theatre - New York

    I loved the concert because it gave me a chance to see and hear some of my favorite early Pink Floyd songs played by one of its original members. Nick Mason does a fantastic job of covering songs from obscured by clouds, ummagumma, atom heart mother and other early albums. If you are a fan of the bands earlier music I highly recommend seeing Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets.

    Vintage Floyd, performed perfectly!

    by Beerking1 on 4/25/19DAR Constitution Hall - Washington

    What a delightful rendition of Pink Floyd "oldies." Nothing performed was released after "Obscured by Clouds" (an album from which they played 3 songs). Featuring such relics as "Interstellar Overdrive", segued into "Astronomy Domine", and the delightful "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun." All songs played accurately to the original, but with some exciting jamming as well. The primary set ended with "One of the Days" which was performed to the crowds glee. Of course, the first encore song was "A Saucerful of Secrets," followed by the rare outtake "Point Me at the Sky."

    The true soul of Pink Floyd

    by Jorgitok on 4/25/19DAR Constitution Hall - Washington

    Highly recommended. Who needs the hits when the music is profound and played by a great group of musicians. You will realize how the Mason drumming is the sound of Floyd.

    Awesome show

    by Tizod on 4/25/19DAR Constitution Hall - Washington

    Show was excellent my only complaint is I paid $75 per ticket in November and you were selling them for$35 weeks before the show. I would understand that from scalpers but not Ticketmaster. If face value was $75 it should stay that or refund my cost. Why get penalized for buying early.
