“It became a matter of finding something else that engaged us…It’s material that hasn’t been heard that often, so there’s something a bit fresh about it.”
That material includes Syd Barrett-penned tunes like “Astronomy Domine” and “Arnold Layne,” songs from David Gilmour’s earliest days in the band like “Childhood’s End” and “Fearless,” and even the occasional classic rock radio favorite like “One of These Days.” One song from this time period they haven’t done so far is “Echoes.” “The problem with ‘Echoes’ is there was a feeling like it has so much to do with Rick [Wright] that we wanted to steer clear of it,” Mason said. “I think that in the long term, we might look at that because it’s a wonderful piece, an homage to Rick. It’s something that we’ve talked about, but not personally addressed.”
It seems like they might address “Echoes” this time considering they’re calling this run the Echoes Tour. Just don’t expect them to break the rule and start playing “”Wish You Were Here” or “Mother.” “I can’t get enormously enthusiastic about doing a definitive version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ or a definitive version of ‘Money’ or whatever,” Mason said in 2018. “I don’t want some grading system where someone goes ‘here are the five best versions of ‘Comfortably Numb’ and we don’t even make it onto the chart.
