Rock News Story Of The Year No. 10: PINK FLOYD


In early March, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets streamed video of a 2019 performance of the legendary UK band’s 1968 classic, “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun”, as a preview to their then-forthcoming package “Live At The Roundhouse.”

Originally recorded during Pink Floyd’s transition from the Syd Barrett-era to the David Gilmour lineup, the track from the group’s second album, “A Saucerful Of Secrets”, has the distinction of being the only song in their catalog to feature all five band members.

“Live At The Roundhouse” presents Mason’s outfit in concert at the legendary London venue in the spring of 2019 during the group’s first tour as they delivered music that had rarely been featured in Pink Floyd’s live shows since their early days.
