The Rock Hall of Famer is now touring with his band Saucerful of Secrets, which salutes Pink Floyd's early work
Pink Floyd fans were more than a little surprised when the long-defunct band’s drummer, Nick Mason, began performing four years ago in Saucerful Of Secrets, a group devoted to showcasing the music Pink Floyd made between 1967 and 1972. But not nearly as surprised as Mason, whose debut gig with Saucerful was in London in May 2018.
Nick Mason is shown in 2017 with an Abbey Road EMI TG12345 MKIV recording console that was auctioned at Bonhams in London. The console was used to record Pink Floyd’s album “Dark Side of the Moon,” which was released in 1973.According to Mason, the idea for Saucerful was covertly hatched by guitarist Lee Harris. A lifelong Pink Floyd fan, Harris enlisted the help of former Pink Floyd touring member Guy Pratt, who has also been featured on Gilmour’s subsequent solo tours and albums.
“The fact Guy approved of the idea and thought it would be nice to get involved made me feel like: ‘Well, if he’s up for it, we can make it work in some way, shape or form.’ As soon as we took a few days to play together and see how we felt about it, l came away thinking: ‘That worked really well.’ And we all got along well, which is important.
Waters was responsible for forcing Wright to resign from Pink Floyd and instead work as a hired hand during the group’s 1980 and ’81 “The Wall” concert tour.Pink Floy is shown here about 50 years ago, shortly before the band ascended to worldwide stardom with its 1973 album, “The Dark Side of the Moon.”
Or, as Mason — who somehow still gets along with both — noted in a September Union-Tribune interview: “I think because of musical differences between Roger and David. They argued about the sleeve notes for two years. ... I feel like Neville Chamberlain in 1939, ‘Peace in our time’ and waving a white flag!”Comfortably mum: None of the legendary English band’s three members have commented on the possible sale. Until now.
