Local Pink Floyd fans just had the chance last month to see
Roger Waters, who performed a goodly number of the band’s biggest tunes during a two-night stand at Chase Center in San FranciscoNow, fans have the chance to take in a decidedly different Pink Floyd music experience when Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets lands at the Fox Theater in Oakland on Oct. 28.
Instead of following in Waters’ footsteps and focusing on Floyd’s platinum-plus-selling later albums, Mason and company concentrates on the lesser-known pre-“Dark Side of the Moon” material from the late ’60s and early ’70s. Saucerful of Secrets made its Bay Area debut in 2019 at the Masonic in San Francisco and the show was nothing short of amazing
, as Mason — a founding member of Pink Floyd and an absolutely sensational drummer — powered the band through such numbers as “Interstellar Overdrive” and “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun” .
