Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets Nick Mason/WA,USA 2019

NICK MASON’S SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS is an early FLOYD reprint project that crossed the ocean and fascinated the North American continent. The final piece of the North American tour collection is here. This work contains the final performance of the North American tour, “April 22, 2019, Washington DC”. This is the best audience recording. We have been reporting on the tour in real time with many live albums, but this is finally the final episode. The next stage, the report on the UK, will also begin. First of all, let’s organize the North American collection with the meaning of a break.・March 12th “VANCOUVER 2019″・March 13th “SEATTLE 2019” *Equipment trouble・March 15th “SAN FRANCISCO 2019” *Set completed・March 16th “LOS ANGELES 2019 1ST NIGHT”・March 17th “LOS ANGELES 2019 2ND NIGHT”・March 19th + 21st (2 shows)・March 24th “IRVING 2019″・March 25th “HOUSTON 2019″・March 27th: Miami Beach show・March 29th “ATLANTA 2019″・March 31st: St. Louis show・April 1st “MILWAUKEE 2019″・April 3rd + 4th (2 shows)・April 5th “INDIANAPOLIS 2019′, April 7th ‘COLUMBUS 2019’, April 8th + 9th (2 performances), April 11th ‘BUFFALO 2019’, April 12th: Wallingford performance, April 13th ‘BOSTON 2019’, April 15th + 16th (2 performances), April 18th ‘BEACON THEATRE 2019 1ST NIGHT’, April 19th: New York City performance, April 20th ‘PHILADELPHIA 2019′, April 22nd: Washington DC performance [This work] 16 titles in total for 28 performances. Although it is not all performances, I think you can understand that I have been reporting on the tour without opening it three times. Currently, collectors around the world are in the record summary stage, and there is no guarantee that there will be masterpieces that will appear later, but this is the last time we will proceed simultaneously. Well, the final performance in North America was in the capital Washington. This is also the best audience recording. All of the works we have delivered so far are masterpieces, but there are three main types. The first is the “clear type” which aims for a super vivid and super clear sound with zero airiness, and “PHILADELPHIA 2019” is a representative example. The second is the “dynamic type” which creates a sense of airiness to the point of thickness, and “LOS ANGELES 2019 2ND NIGHT” is a good example. The third is the “mood type” which enjoys the realism and illusion created by the sound and airiness unique to audience recording rather than the awesomeness of the sound board-like performance sound. In this classification, this work is the second “dynamic type”. While boasting a sense of closeness and detail worthy of being called “just like a sound board,” the faint hall sound that is barely noticeable with headphones creates a spectacle. In other words, the “clear type” feels like a sound board directly connected to the table, but the “dynamic type” is more like an official work style. It’s a more gorgeous sound. In particular, the bass is amazing in this work. It is so delicate that you can feel the walls and floors shaking, but it is a powerful sound that shakes the entire venue. Of course, this power is born because the core is extremely thick and direct. The sound of the scene does not lose clarity, and does not hide the subtleties. It is a rare recording in which the core and sound do not kill each other but enhance each other. Moreover, the sense of stability is excellent. It is not surprising that the peak will break if it is so powerful, but no matter how powerful this work is, the lustrous beauty is not lost, and there is no shaking that makes you lose track of the direction of the microphone. Until now, the highest peak of the “dynamic type” was “LOS ANGELES 2019 2ND NIGHT”, but this work is not inferior. No, this work is superior in terms of power and vividness of the rise. It is truly a new masterpiece. SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS’ many live albums are not just a collection, but also entertain with their “recording individuality” and “the latest technology of the audience”. This is because FLOYD’s early songs bring out the flavor of the sound, and the performance is also great. This is the latest work that has jumped to the top of the top race. The clear “PHILADELPHIA 2019” and this dynamic work. Two masterpieces of a different system that were piled up at the end of the North American tour.
