Last week on Thursday, I got to see Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets in front row with my dad! We were on Lee Harris's and Guy Pratt's side. Nick and his band mainly played the early Pink Floyd songs (pre-Dark Side), which was quite refreshing after watching Roger and David play the typical "greatest hits" multiple times. Here's the setlist:
1. Interstellar Overdrive
2. Astronomy Domine
3. Lucifer Sam
4. Fearless
5. Obscured by Clouds
6. When You’re In
7. Remember a Day
8. Arnold Layne
9. Vegetable Man
10. If / Atom Heart Mother (combined)
11. The Nile Song
12. Green is the Color
13. Let There Be More Light
14. Childhood’s End
15. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
16. See Emily Play
17. Bike
18. One of These Days
ENCORE:
19. Saucerful of Secrets
20. Point Me at the Sky

The gig was at the Chicago Theatre. After taking one art history course, I've come to further appreciate historical architecture. With that said, I could say that I really loved how it accurately designed it was to being inspired by the Renaissance. Watching Saucerful of Secrets in there made me feel like I was watching early Pink Floyd in Florence, Italy. 
Some pictures of the venue and the show:
We also caught Guy's bass pick!
Additionally, me and my dad got some front-row exclusive goodies in the mail 2 days before the show, which include some lanyards, drink bottles, stickers, and a couple tiles:
