Nick's wit is on full display and if I had a question to ask first I think it would be why no lyrics?? As ships cook Nick sure as heck could have interjected similar witty lines of commentary that Roger did especially like in echos.
God bless you Nick, David, Richard and yes Roger for providing a lifeline that kept and still keeps uncounted millions still trying to live in this world.

Highly recommended for Floyd fans or anyone interested in a balanced account of the creative and business sides a major band.

Highly recommended for Floyd fans or anyone interested in a balanced account of the creative and business sides a major band.
The main advantage of the book is that Nick Mason has been in the band throughout every incarnation. In addition, he has a witty, self deprecating, sense of humor that makes it an enjoyable read.
That said, there is very little detail about the music. While pages upon pages are dedicated to the light shows, there is very little information about the writing and recording of most of the albums. As I read in a review of the book awhile back, "was he even there?"
Nonetheless, there were some interesting things in the book that I had not seen or read before. Perhaps the most striking was the photo of Syd Barrett when he visited the Wish You Were Here sessions - while I had read various descriptions of how shocking the change was in his appearance over only a few years, the photo really drove that point home.
Net net - if you want to learn about the music, keep looking. If you want an enjoyable summary of the band's history, this might be a decent choice.
