[Music] Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets

Anyone else off to see this lot at the Dome, tomorrow? Saw them pre-Covid at the Roundhouse and at the Albert Hall last Saturday. Fabulous band playing early Pink Floyd stuff and includes a terrific version of Echoes, on this tour.
The fun they're having on stage is infectious, and the musicianship is quality throughout.

I have a photo of me on TV singing Little White Bull at the Dome circa 7 yrs of age.

I am the drummer!

Yes, and Guy recently met up with Mark Cope (Kenneth 'Marty Hopkirk' Cope's son) - perhaps a new series? :lolol:

Yes, and really looking forward to it.

Not live but on Sky arts. Seeing Gary Kemp was a bit of a shock but he came over very well. Wife and I are big fans of Pink Floyd and love the Dome for concerts so it should be a good night.

Do they do Interstellar Overdrive & if so is it the full on 1967 version i.e. about 20 minutes of noodling?

Most people watching this time around won't have dropped acid so it may not be the same... :lolol:

You're in for a treat.

I'd be surprised if anyone has, this time, but I'd love to be proven wrong. :lolol:

My first ever concert was at the Marlowe Theatre Canterbury on the Saucerful of Secrets tour just after Dave Gilmour replaced Syd. Gutted I won’t be going :down:

If anyone has a spare ticket let me know, it’s sold out

I bought a ticket two years ago when they were playing The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, when I got the new ticket last week it’s billed as the Echoes tour. Possibly disappointing as I was looking forward to my favourite of their albums.
Anyway, I’m still going, I’ll be the one with grey hair wearing a mask.

It's a great set:

I wonder, what are the chances of Dave Gilmour dropping by? &#55357;&#56841;

Is that a sarcastic 'fantastic' or is the sad face because you're not going?
