PINK FLOYD

But is Gaz going to be singing, "A gnome named Grimble Gromble"?

And then one day, hooray
another way for gnomes to say
Trueh..

"To cut a long story short
Syd lost his miiiind"

sad lols

Would be cool if Mason sang the songs he did vocals for on the originals e.g. One Of These Days, Corporal Clegg, Scream Thy Last Scream.

Putting "Nick Mason's" in front is a great way to make a band name more reasonable

Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets is the brainchild of former Blockheads guitarist Lee Harris

i just remembered that i have this (terrible) rave version of 'time' by lee harris - gotta be the same guy right?

Rodge let slip in a radio interview that there is a 5.1 of Animals on the way sometime soon, didn't say anything about an Immersion Box type of deal.

there was also a lee harris in talk talk, surely it's not him but who knows? xp

Dingwalls and 3 dates at the Half Moon, jfc couldn't they have aimed a little higher?

I mean that would probably just about accommodate Guy Pratt's fucking guest list.

― Scam jam, thank you ma’am (Sparkle Motion)

i can't ever consider "nick mason's fictitious sports" to be "reasonable". only "reasonamable".

Will Nick bust out 'The Grand Vizier's Garden Party'?

First encore.

5-1 odds that Robert Wyatt comes out for an "I'm A Believer" encore.

would rather hear "wervin'"

^Yes!

for a second mistook that for a Waters setlist and was like wtf rad

There's a clip of Bike out there too (with Pratt singing) but I'm not gonna link it because it sounds like a pub band.

Bunch of UK and European tour dates announced at http://www.thesaucerfulofsecrets.com/

This thing isn't coming anywhere near me which kind of solves my dilemma of whether I want to put myself through it or not

I will go for sure, perhaps I'm taking it a bit too seriously, but the youtube clips feel under-rehearsed and like a bit of a busman's holiday to me, I wish he hadn't just gone down the crony route with the band members.

yeah i love all these songs but i'm not really excited to hear these folks play them. if he'd gotten, you know, somebody like robyn hitchcock to go on tour with him i'd jump at the chance.

May have been Guy Pratt's idea

XP - my thoughts exactly, Hitchcock would be a perfect frontman.

There are Robyn Hitchcock And Heavy Friends Play Pink Floyd concerts on archive.org for any who doubt it

I'm just bummed he didn't name the band Set The Controls For The Heart Of Mason

I'm bummed it turned out to be pretty good so no-one got to use the headline, A Mason Disgrace.

i wish he would do electronic duo versions of the PF songbook and call it Mason-Jarre

^this RULES

i hope he brings this to the US, I would absolutely go and would probably prefer this over seeing gilmore at this point. or gilmour. or however he spells it.

dang i would totally go ... what size places is he playing?

dingwalls is fucking tiny

xxp surely Set the Controls for the Heart of the Drums

He’s playing the Olympia here (where Dylan played in 66 w the giant American flag), maybe 2000 people? saw Paramore there recently

let's see who the true heads are around here....quiz time chumps

https://s22.postimg.cc/qzte8qeip/ratmpinkfloyd.jpg

I took that quiz.

it was one of the low points of my life.

Enjoyed listening to that podcast of the concert. It all sounds just like the Pink Floyd, except for the drums.

dan....me too...and me too

it is really good. the "Interstellar Overdrive" is spot on. love how it goes into "Astronomy Domine" at the end.

The Mason bandwagon rolls on:

‘Unattended Luggage’

Nick Mason to release vinyl and cd box sets of his three solo albums

Including...

‘Fictitious Sports’

‘Profiles’

‘White of the Eye’

Released August 31, 2018

For the first time in over 20 years, Nick Mason’s solo albums, ‘Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports’, ‘Profiles’ and ‘White of the Eye’ will be available in both CD and vinyl three-disc boxsets. Released on 31 August through Warner Music, these limited edition box sets will be available shortly before Nick tours Europe with his acclaimed new band Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets.

Nick Mason is one of the biggest selling artists of all time. A co-founding member of Pink Floyd, he is the only constant member of the group, performing on all of their albums as well as all of their live shows. In May of this year, Nick debuted his new band Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets with four intimate shows in London (Camden Dingwalls 20 May and The Half Moon in Putney 21, 23 and 24 May) to an incredible reception.

Unattended Luggage is a further celebration of Nick Mason and his undeniably significant contribution to music. The set contains;

‘Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports’ - Nick’s debut solo album which was originally released in 1981 and saw him collaborate with a variety of different musicians including Robert Wyatt and Carla Bley.

‘Profiles’ - A collaboration with 10cc guitarist Rick Fenn, it was Nick’s second album outside of Pink Floyd and was released in 1985 as ‘Mason + Fenn’. This is a mainly instrumental album except for tracks ‘Lie for a Lie’, which features vocals from Maggie Reilly and former bandmate David Gilmour and ‘Israel’, sung by UFO keyboardist Danny Peyronel.

‘White of the Eye’ - A soundtrack for a British thriller movie of the same name, Nick once again collaborated with Rick Fenn. Originally released in 1987, in conjunction with the film's release, this is the first time the record has been made available for over 20 years, and the first time it will appear on CD.

Nick Mason says, "These recordings hold a very special place for me in my musical life. 'Fictitious Sports' developed initially from working with Mike Mantler, Carla Bley and Robert Wyatt on a couple of their projects, and benefited enormously from a whole crew of great musicians that I was introduced to by them at Grog Kill Studios in Woodstock.

“'Profiles' and 'White of the Eye' were an extension of working with Rick Fenn on some advertising and short documentary film soundtracks, which then developed into something more.

“Listening back after 30 odd years, I'm delighted they are getting the reissue treatment. I’m rather hoping that sales will be sufficient to damage the market in the original rare vinyl versions!”

Unattended Luggage will be available in both CD and vinyl three LP boxsets.

The individual albums ‘Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports’, ‘Profiles’ and ‘White of the Eye’ will all be available as a download and through streaming platforms.

Love "Fictitious Sports"!

Nick Mason is one of the biggest selling artists of all time

I know! One of, not "The"

Needs to have the CD of Mason’s racing car sounds.

Thematic cd, tracks with sounds of cars on them!

Kraftwerk, Autobahn.
Otway&Barrett, Jet Spotter of the track

and so on..

not sure anyone cares about these albums beyond fictitious sports but, ok

profiles is ok. i mean not great, but fairly unobjectionable.
