Hello, friends, Luke here with a bonus interview I'm particularly excited to share. You might consider

this a supplement of sorts to my recent solo episode on Pink Floyd's Adam Hart Mother and the

conversation I had with Ron Gieson. Now, this one is with Nick Mason, Pink Floyd's drummer from

its very earliest incarnation way back in 1964, the Sigma 6, the T set, the Pink Floyd sound.

Nick was there through all of it going on to play the drums on every Pink Floyd album from

1967's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn through 2014's The Endless River.

You know, I'm curious what you think accounts for this moment we seem to be in right now

and, you know, what you think explains the, you know, enduring appeal of Pink Floyd,

particularly to younger audiences today.

Well, I don't really know.

I mean, it could just be four desperate elderly men trying one last gasp at being pop stars.

I think there's still, I think one thing that comes out towards the sort of end of one's

working life is what fun it is to play music and you end up just

thinking what would I really like to do and to some extent one of the reasons I'm out with a band

is because of the exhibition because I enjoyed working on the exhibition and I think it's a

great thing to do but the one thing that was missing was live exhibition and I think it's a great thing to do, but the one thing that was missing was live performance.

And I think it reminded me that the real, you know, the core of this whole thing is to be actually on stage playing with friends,

enjoying playing music. That's the great privilege.
