Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets and techniques are coming again to North America early subsequent 12 months for an encore run of exhibits they’re calling the Echoes Tour. It kicks off January 18th at Massey Corridor in Toronto, Ontario, and wraps up February twenty eighth on the Orpheum in Vancouver, British Columbia.

“We loved our 2019 tour in America a lot,” Mason says in an announcement. “We’re completely satisfied to be again at it and enjoying Pink Floyd music followers might have by no means had the possibility to expertise stay.”

The group was fashioned in 2018 by Mason, Spandau Ballet guitarist Gary Kemp, former Pink Floyd touring bassist Man Pratt, guitarist Lee Harris, and keyboardist Dom Beken. The plan from the very starting was to play solely songs Pink Floyd recorded earlier than Darkish Facet of the Moon turned the band into superstars.

“I knew I couldn’t play ‘Comfortably Numb’ higher than David or Roger, or certainly even the Australian Pink Floyd [tribute band],” Mason instructed Rolling Stone in 2018. “It turned a matter of discovering one thing else that engaged us…It’s materials that hasn’t been heard that always, so there’s one thing a bit contemporary about it.”

That materials contains Syd Barrett-penned tunes like “Astronomy Domine” and “Arnold Layne,” songs from David Gilmour’s earliest days within the band like “Childhood’s Finish” and “Fearless,” and even the occasional basic rock radio favourite like “One in every of These Days.”

One music from this time interval they haven’t completed thus far is “Echoes.” “The issue with ‘Echoes’ is there was a sense prefer it has a lot to do with Rick [Wright] that we wished to keep away from it,” Mason stated. “I believe that in the long run, we’d take a look at that as a result of it’s a beautiful piece, an homage to Rick. It’s one thing that we’ve talked about, however not personally addressed.”

It looks like they could deal with “Echoes” this time contemplating they’re calling this run the Echoes Tour. Simply don’t anticipate them to interrupt the rule and begin enjoying “”Want You Had been Right here” or “Mom.”

“I can’t get enormously obsessed with doing a definitive model of ‘Comfortably Numb’ or a definitive model of ‘Cash’ or no matter,” Mason stated in 2018. “I don’t need some grading system the place somebody goes ‘listed here are the 5 greatest variations of ‘Comfortably Numb’ and we don’t even make it onto the chart.”
