Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets "Set The Controls" Beacon Theater, NY w/Roger Waters (4-18-2019)

Two bass player replaced Rogers, Pratt, live, and Tony Levine in the studios!

@@danlevy8134 wait when was Tony Levin working with them????

@@Gumbo72203 Momentary Lapse Of Reason, Session bass. When Endless River came out I read that both that album and the Division Bell had bass collaboration in the studio by Levin, uncredited! Levin is huge! And Guy Pratt is as huge!

sometimes I have the impression that Roger moved on with his life and resentment, meanwhile Gilmour still has a grudge against him

@@igoralencar2494 yes of course, he moved on with his life after being the biggest Ass**le and a musical genius of the group! But without PF he is nothing! On the other hand Gilmour, Mason, and at the time Wright, they continued creating beautiful music!

That´s right, he was the neutral pol of Pink Floyd together with Richard Wright!!!! Bernhard from Germany

@@Bernhardist Well at the risk of starting a flame war, probably less so Richard Wright. It was after all at the behest of Roger that Rick was fired.

@@Bernhardist Stimmt genau, die beiden waren immer die Schlichter

@@tieukhavu8832 Das wae schon so, als sie anfingen...trotzdem eine Band, die wirklich Musikgeschichte geschrieben hat.... Roger macht ja jetzt, während Corona, ein remake zu einer seiner Platten in sw/ws ...einfach nur geil Bernhard

He was the only member to appear on all of their albums, after all.

SAME !!!

Absolutely! It's the same Roger, chills ....

Same.

When it broke, I laughed my ass off lol

@ Trannon Goble "YES! Pompeii is still a favourite!!!"

That was awesome, he lets out an angry "Fu@k!!"

A perfect reprise of what happened during Pink Floyd’s live performance for KQED nearly 50 years apart!

Reminds me of Nick losing a stick during Live at Pompeii and not missing a fucking BEAT! Legend.

A true professional!

@@camillazapolsky8940 : unlike Roger

I’m so jealous!

Jeaulous😡😏👍

A Roma si dice: buciodeculo😁

Que envidia!!!

Yeah, he wasn't flashy or fast, but he had perfect tempo and was very creative, that's why he's so great

@@fernandomaron87 His tempo is all over the place. Even on the albums there are sudden tempo shifts.

@@redrick8900 I definitely notice this too, but I find the tempo shifts add to the song in a sort of way.

@@joshuas8779 A enjoyed it too but it's very blatantly not perfect tempo.

@@redrick8900 I completely agree in the sense that it is not perfectly in time, but to me perfect tempo means his tempo is perfect for the song. Just my take.

You should see a band called hyryder out of Indianapolis Indiana

Ditto MAN

According to Nick, David’s given him the same warm blessings as Roger.

The god has retired, but i know he supports Nick.

@@elecmaster6 Sorry what retirement?

@@spitfireaace I suspect David is completely done with anything to do with Pink Floyd. The only reason this latest single was released under the name Pink Floyd was to generate attention and donation revenue. I don't think there will be any more Pink Floyd tours or concerts, let alone new music (unless David finds some other worthy cause, which is not likely to happen). But it does look like he's not completely retired from music, as there are some rumours that he is working on a new solo album. We might hear one or two Pink Floyd songs in concert, if he decides to have a concert, but it will the same mellow classics written by him, like Fat Old Sun and the like.

The moment Nick and David do something together, legally it is Pink Floyd and that brings with it a whole host of contractual matters - so it is just not as easy for David to do this as Roger.

Very good . (cycadelic )

DanOfTheNorthEast, I’m fairly sure it was all carefully rehearsed spontaneity.

I certainly did. And Roger wasn't touring with them so how would they rehearse?

Richard Grace, he would have been there at the soundcheck.

@@mine7292 you so fucking negative...True Floyd fans aren't negative.

@@mine7292 Being in this biz I've seen dozens of these 'surprise guest' appearances, and yes they are rehearsed soundck'ed to a large degree. But something as little as Roger going up on the riser to hug Nick is just spur of the moment spontaneity on Roger's part. And Roger knows how to treat his friends and fans.

Cool moment. Happened once before when David and Roger played that set for the Hoping Foundation. Guy played bass for the parts of the set in which Roger played acoustic guitar.

Exact thing I instantly thought :)

Very cool to see Roger and Guy on stage. Wonder if Guy was a little nervous playing this particular song with Roger.

@@xtrict yes :) maybe Roger was a bit frustrated to not playing bass knowing his ego

@@ToniMtl78 I guess if Roger only hinted at wanting to play the bass Guy would have borrowed it to him in a flash.

I had tickets for Memphis, TN and was going to take my daughter there for her first concert and it got cancelled during Covid and never resheduled. Huge bummer for us.

This aint PF b a long shot

Great comment Mark

@@michaelsalisbury1477 So?

I’ve got an idea. Invent a time machine so we can all experience those early PF concerts. Well... what are you waiting for then?

@@jongallardo8006I’m game!

Really? Was Syd part of this?

@@caioramalho22 Yes, there are Syd's guitar recordings in the studio version

@@caioramalho22 Yes, Syd and David. The only song studio official in five

Doesn't Jugband Blues feature all 5?

This was also the 1st song they played together since Roger left. In 2002, Roger invited Nick to perform Set The Controls on one of his solo shows.

I wonder what Roger thought of sharing a stage with his replacement lol

I guess having a huge ego doesn’t necessarily mean retaining a reliable memory 🤣

I wrote that somewhere else but this post is more lively i see :D I actually think that Roger was well awared that there is a second part as he wrote that song. but later i can see Roger's showing that Gary is still playing so he had time to rest and drink out of the stage and quite frankly, i can see him little bit frustrated. that's my guess :D

@@aarongonzales1350 Roger ignored Guy when he walked on, but hugged Gary Kemp.

@@JamesSmith-qy3eu that's hilarious

rythm section

The bassist and the drummer is always going to have that special thing

Then why did Roger all but kick Nick out of the band during the 1980-1985 period. He treated Nick badly, and he treated Rick even worse. There should never be any drummer recording Pink Floyd albums other than Nick Mason.

This is great!I sayjust fuckin' stupendous!Too bad dg won't stop being weird and play these songs whilst he can.

@@beatlesrgear That's Richard you're thinking of, Nick was still on good terms with Roger before the lawsuit. In the early 2000s before Live 8, Nick and Roger reconciled and are still great friends to this date. And they both meet in their first term of architecture school back in 62'.

Funny fact, Pink Floyd became boring when Roger took control, and there was barely no more instrumental music because he always has crap to say

​@@harounel-poussah6936 That's hardly a fact, it's just your personal opinion. But you're funny to be considering The Wall boring.

@@melinda82 : Well, it's more DSOTM, WYWH and Animals that are boring and often depressing, AMLOR+TDB too... The Wall and the Final Cut are different, these are LETHAL !!! I knew several persons who did suicide attempts, thanks to these (as well as Alan Parker's movie)... Some were... "successful"... The Wall is even more effective than Gloomy Sunday when it comes to entering the Darwin Awards

@@melinda82 I like all periods of PF but recently I hear a lot of crap coming from RW.

Roger was great at lyrics. David was better at music. And Roger is anything but a humanitarian.

I took some good LSD to see Pink Floyd back in the 70s. So amazing, it felt natural.

@@richf8972 It's not the reason why I listen to it. There's more to it than an altered state of consciousness. PF is more about philosophy than chemically induced happiness.

@@Jduos333 Rogers Waters said that he once took LSD, and after that he he would never do that again. Most people don't take hallucinogenic drugs for any other reason than recreation. 😜

@@Jduos333 The experience isn't worth the price you must pay. There are ways to alter consciousness that do not involve chemicals that damage your health and rob your money. Roger got it right.

@@Jduos333 I question their safety. They may very well be carcinogenic and cause other problems. They also pose a safety hazard to people who are tripping and don't see reality as it is and could harm themselves. They're not for Roger Waters and they're not for me. We don't need drugs to solve our problems. We need a sober and educated mind.

Yes, you hit it perfectly.

Set the controls is also the song Nick prefers...

Memories of 60s Life LONDON,Roundhouse,HydePark,was there 🙀🙀

Not Lyrics.

same here

I actually think that Roger was well awared that there is a second part as he wrote that song. but later i can see Roger's showing that Gary is still playing so he had time to rest and drink out of the stage and quite frankly, i can see him little bit frustrated. that's my guess :D

me 2. they dont seem to care too much...

I was in the first row. It's why I flew to NYC to see the show hoping Roger would show up. The video is deceiving. Roger was well received.

yes, they did. The Night of the prog Festival includes alwaysl the best progressive Musik in the world, and thats ,why the people are coming from all over the world to this festival. I am there since 2010 every year, but not 2020, because of this shit virus

That is one of the greatest moment, I´ve seen with Pink Floyd in the last time and that´s why You must cry😂😂😂😂😂😂😂....Bernhard from Germany

@@Bernhardist Ja Ja Ja Congratulations. I would like to share that I also had the opportunity to cry (ja ja) with Nick in Augusta Raurica, with Roger in Houston and with David in Vienna. They are magical and unforgettable moments for which we are fans of Pink Floyd.

DORA MARIA BENJUMEA GUTIERREZ Guy’s married to Rick Wrights daughter.

@@ricklewis5804 Hi Rick, I didn´t know it. It´s fantastic.

A lot of emotion in this reunion, that hug was too much, we are human beings we have feelings, a beautiful gesture from Roger.

It was a four-part chemistry not easily defined. I dislike Roger's solo efforts, but like the rest of the member's; and as with the Beatles, PF was truly a product of all five, then four. This particular song is an all time favorite, and influences me to this day. Before I would go out playing live in the last few years, the two live acts I would listen to for inspiration were Type O Negative and early PF, especially Floyd pre-72.. I found both impressive. To be fair, Roger can be brilliant, wrote my favorite song of all, Set the Controls.. which done live back then was an ultimate classic for me...iconic. But Roger is acerbic and satirical, bitter, wounded, and channels these into his work. All perfectly valid. But for me the music must speak louder than words. Cheers

🎸👍 kzhead.info/sun/oaman7FwsZWoh68/bejne.html

Don't fall into that trap. It wasn't any one man that made it happen.

Roger was crap without the rest of Floyd and the rest of Floyd was crap without Roger. Such a shame when egos take control.

Roger Really only wrote the lyrics and then most of The Wall. Richard and Dave Wrote most of the music

Their controls are set for No Fun.

@@fabrikk60 Great parody

AMEN! Most people do not realize how hard it actually is to play with tasteful restraint AND power simultaneously.

~ Vibraphone, not xylophone.

WHAT?!?!....... You also??? Great moment in modern Pop history we´ve seen there. Nick and Roger are best friend´s....Bernhard from Germany😢😢😢😢😢

Me too!
