"Leej twg nco qab qhov gig?" tso dag rau tus ntaus nruas ntawm theem ntawm Chicago Theatre.

Guy Pratt, uas, ua yeeb yam nrog Mason thaum Pink Floyd ncig saib hauv kev txhawb nqa Ib Momentary Lapse of Reason thiab Lub Taub Hau Tswb, nkag mus rau Roger Waters ntawm ntses bass thaj tsam thiab suab nrov, ua rau lub suab nrov thaum "Yog" thaum Kemp nthuav tawm ntawm "Cov Khoom Qab Zib thiab Currant Bun," hais txog lub sijhawm ze li ntawm ob thiab ib nrab teev ua haujlwm nrog cov npe tshiab uas tau ua dua tshiab.

"

Kuv tau tham nrog Nick Mason txog kev rov qab mus rau theem hauv Asmeskas kev ua yeeb yam, ib feem ntawm kev sib raug zoo Saucerful of Secrets North American ncig saib uas khiav mus rau lub Kaum Ib Hlis, ua kev zoo siab Syd Barrett thiab Pink Floyd ntau tiam neeg ncav cuag. Ib daim ntawv teev lus ntawm peb lub xov tooj sib tham, maj mam kho kom ntev thiab meej, raws li hauv qab no.

Kuv paub tias koj tau ua qee cov hnub European lub caij ntuj sov no. Nws zoo li thaum kawg tau rov qab los rau theem tom qab ob xyoos dhau los?

NICK MASON: Zoo siab heev. Nws yog ib qho khib heev ob xyoos. Kuv nyiam hais rau cov neeg tuaj saib, kuv tsis paub tseeb tias leej twg yog tus zoo siab tshaj plaws hmo no, peb lossis lawv.

Thaum kuv tau pom kev ua yeeb yam ntawm Tsaus Sab ntawm lub hli or Phab ntsa, pom tseeb tias nws yog hom kev tsim khoom uas tsuas yog tsis tso cai rau txhua qib ntawm kev sim lossis improvisation ntawm theem. Hauv qhov chaw no, nrog koj pab pawg, nws puas tso cai rau koj los sim me ntsis?

NM: Kuv xav tias nws yuav tsum yog qhov tseem ceeb heev. Peb tsis yog Pink Floyd tribute band lossis Roger Waters tribute band lossis David Gilmour tribute band. Yog li, kuv xav tias peb khaws peb tus kheej los ntawm kev ua haujlwm sib txawv heev.

Qhov zoo yog tias nws muaj ntau yam uas peb tau ua hauv xyoo 1967 - feem ntau cov nkauj yog lub sijhawm los xaiv cov nkauj thiab tom qab ntawd tshem tawm me ntsis.

Rau qee qhov, Kuv xav tias qee zaum qhov kev koom tes ntawm Syd Barrett tuaj yeem raug saib xyuas los ntawm ntu ntawm cov kiv cua tawm muaj kho ntawm ib lossis ob lub albums. Nws tseem ceeb npaum li cas rau koj los ua kev zoo siab rau Syd thaum cov yeeb yam no?

NM: Qhov tseem ceeb yog ib lo lus lom zem. Tab sis kuv xav tias nws yog qhov zoo rau kev ua koob tsheej, kuv xav tias, qhov pib ntawm Pink Floyd tiag tiag.

Kuv xav tias, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog, qhov tseem ceeb hauv Asmeskas. Vim kuv xav tias ntau tus neeg nyob ntawm no pom Pink Floyd ua ib yam dab tsi uas pib nrog Tsaus Sab ntawm lub hli. Tebchaws Europe txawv me ntsis ntawm qhov kev hwm vim tias peb tau ua haujlwm ntau dua. Yog li muaj kev paub ntau ntxiv kuv xav hais txog kev ua haujlwm thaum ntxov.

Tab sis nws yog inevitable uas nrog pab pawg neeg txoj kev vam meej uas ua tau ntau npaum li cas ntawm cov suab paj nruag thaum ntxov tau poob los hloov los ntawm tam sim no albums lossis suab paj nruag uas peb tau ua si.

Los rau hauv qhov chaw zoo li no, Asmeskas kev ua yeeb yam, koj tuaj yeem pom koj cov phooj ywg ntawm theem - lawv tsis thaiv los ntawm cov khoom siv. Koj tuaj yeem pom yuav luag txhua tus kiv cua. Qhov kev paub zoo li ntawd tom qab ntau xyoo hauv chaw ntau pob cuam tshuam li cas koj ua?

NM: Aw, zoo heev. Nws yuav zoo qee zaus los ua ib lub chaw ntau pob rau cov nyiaj tau los. (Luag) Tab sis, ntawm qhov tod tes, nws yog qhov zoo rau kev sib cuam tshuam nrog cov neeg tuaj saib. Raws li koj hais, nws tsis yog tsuas yog cov tswv cuab ntawm pawg uas kuv tuaj yeem pom, Kuv tuaj yeem pom sab xis mus rau sab nraum qab ntawm lub tsev hais plaub zoo nkauj. Thiab qhov ntawd txawv heev.

Cov chaw ncaws pob zoo heev thiab lawv muab sijhawm rau koj los ua txhua yam. Tab sis koj yeej tsis muaj tag nrho lub chaw ntau pob them mloog. Ib txwm muaj ob peb tus neeg ua yeeb tshuaj thiab ua si frisbee tom qab.

Thaum koj hais mav tsis tas yuav hloov pauv cov nkauj no, koj tab tom rov ua haujlwm me ntsis. Nws tseem ceeb npaum li cas los ua qhov ntawd thiab nrhiav txoj hauv kev tshiab los txuas ntxiv thawb lub suab paj nruag mus tom ntej?

NM: Kuv xav tias qhov no yog qhov sib npaug uas peb vam tias peb tau txais txoj cai, uas yog rau cov nkauj kom pom tau rau cov neeg uas paub tshwj xeeb ntawm lawv tab sis kuj rau cov neeg uas tsis tshua paub txog nws.

Tsis muaj ntau yam improvising thiab zoo li no tab sis muaj qee yam kev ywj pheej uas peb yeej yuav tsis muaj tam sim no thiab Pink Floyd tsis tau muaj ntau xyoo los ntawm kev ua cov gigs loj thiab lwm yam.

Cov kwv tij tau muaj ob peb xyoos tam sim no los ua haujlwm ua ke thiab ua kom zoo li koj nthuav tawm cov nkauj no. Nyob rau hauv tus txheej txheem, koj kuj yog ib qho kev nthuav tawm cov kiv cua mus rau sab tshiab ntawm ib tug neeg zoo li hais Gary Kemp piv txwv li, rau cov neeg tsuas yog paub nws rau nws txoj haujlwm hauv Spandau Ballet. Yuav ua li cas ua haujlwm nrog pawg no?

NM: Zoo heev. Gary yog qhov piv txwv zoo tshaj plaws. Tab sis thaum koj saib cov kev sib xyaw ntawm cov kev cuam tshuam peb muaj nyob rau theem nrog Lee los ntawm Ian Dury & The Blockheads thiab Dom Beken los ntawm Orb, kuv xav tias nws tsuas yog ua rau nws zoo kawg nkaus ntawm cov lauj kaub yaj rau kev ua si thaum ntxov Pink Floyd.

Yuav ua li cas koj hais mav mus txog hom reworking lub setlist me ntsis rau qhov ncig xyuas no?

NM: Peb tau rov ua haujlwm dua thaum lub sijhawm ncig European lub caij ntuj sov no. Tsis muaj ib qho kev hloov pauv rau koj qhov kev rov hais dua ntawm theem kuv ib txwm xav. Ntau lub tswv yim tau muab pov tseg tom qab ntawd. Tam sim no peb tau hloov cov npe teev tseg thiab peb tab tom ua qhov kev hloov kho tshiab. Qhov tseeb, qhov peb tab tom ua yog ncaws tawm nrog "Ib Hnub No." Qhov ntawd yog qhov peb siv los xaus. Yog li peb thiaj li tawm tswv yim rau cov neeg uas yuav tau pom peb ob lossis peb xyoos dhau los, tias peb tab tom pib qhov twg peb tawm mus.

Rau cov neeg uas tuaj rau qhov yeeb yam dhau los, peb tau hloov kho thiab nthuav dav nws - tshwj xeeb, kev ua haujlwm ntawm "Echoes," uas yog, rau kuv, hloov pauv ntawm Pink Floyd nrog Syd mus rau Pink Floyd nrog David, Roger , kuv tus kheej thiab Rick.

Pink Floyd tau muaj cov khoom kim heev uas tsis tshua muaj neeg mus txog ntau tiam neeg. Nws zoo li pom qhov ua si txhua hmo los ntawm koj lub perch ntawm theem?

NM: Zoo heev. Kuv xav tias, rau peb, qhov loj uas qee zaus cov niam txiv yuav coj cov menyuam tuaj yeem ua rau muaj kev txaus siab heev.

Qhov kev xav tias koj tsis yog ib pawg nostalgia nkaus xwb thiab cov suab paj nruag muaj qee qhov cuam tshuam hauv lub xyoo pua 21st yog ib qho zoo tshaj plaws txog kev tawm mus nrog pawg no thiab ncig xyuas.
