Rehearsal: Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets proben für Tour 2022

NICK MASON: All being well, we’re going to start rehearsing the end of next week, in fact, with the idea of hopefully being in America the beginning of next year and UK and Europe after that. We don’t do new songs. It’s like going into an antique shop and saying, “I want something contemporary.” No, we’d definitely like to increase the repertoire, though, for sure. There’s a surprising amount of material there. The cut off is, up to, but not including Dark Side. And so with film tracks and early records and all the rest of it and singles, there’s still quite a way to go.

It’s interesting as well, I think, that there is a difference between the USA and Europe, for sure. In that the Americans, I think because we were more successful in Europe, early on, and less so in the USA, so people are less familiar with the early records in America. And so you get people saying, “I’ve never heard this song. What is it?” And so on. Whereas in Europe, you’re more likely to have people going, “Oh yeah, I remember that.”

Großartig, dass sie derzeit an der Art und Weise ihres Spiels arbeiten und ziemlich sicher Echoes in die Setlist 2022 einpflegen. Ich hoffe auf einen weiteren Konzertfilm und Tour-Dokumentation der Saucers 2022. Eine spätere Veröffentlichung von z. B. „Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets – Live at the Royal Albert Hall“, das wäre was, oder?

So lautete Mason′s Antwort auf die Frage, wie es sein konnte, dass Roger Waters sich innerhalb von Pink Floyd gemobbt fühlte.
