Last night, Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets began their ‘Set The Controls’ tour at Victoria Hall in Stoke-on-Trent. They seamlessly continued where they left off, delivering an electrifying performance. The crowd’s energy was awe-inspiring, and the intial reports are that the band were on fire! For those who want to be surprised, be cautious of spoilers as the newly revised setlist holds some surprises. Tomorrow night, the band will be heading to York.
