i was there! it was like fifty people there! i was on the last weekend of a seven week trip to london! and the only reason i could FACE going home to wash dc america was that i had squeeze tickets( to a stadium show) and we went to a little tiny festival in kent ! where my friend simon was playing with barry melton ! and i was so bummed i was leaving ! AND THEN.... SQUEEZE pulled up in a winnebago! lol glen and chris got up and did a gig for all forty of us there! BLEW MY MIND! best day ever!
Quite the pair ..hard to compare these guys. You cant put their music in a box or call it rock or nu wave or...anything else but great sounds. There's no missing the cutting edge lyrics and that razor edge voice. One of my favorite bands of all time.
Thanks for this upload! I was searching for this version for a very long time. Do you know where I can find the acoustic version that was aired on VH1 classic like five years ago? :-)
@Fogg1969 Lucky Dog. Ive never had the pleasure to hear this band live. But every time I hear one of their songs, it sticks in my head for days. Excellent talent..have you ever tried to write a song ? I can play harmonica well and am starting to write now. All that said makes me know how hard it is to write ..like this . These Guys are some of the top of their field..That shows and even say on the radio you can hear that.
@jimmyofaden I've tried to write songs, every now and again I have a momentary sense of success, but it'll only be a line, and then nothing that comes close to "the devil came and took me from bar to street to bookie." This duo have sustained their genius for over 30 years, and that's remarkable really.. There are very few writers with such a wealth of quality material.
This is so awesome! I finally got to meet my heros when I saw them play in Austin late last year. Chris is a really nice guy, and Glenn was kind of indifferent...which is fine because we were all a bunch of drunk fans! Greatest band EVER!!!!!
I like this, but not the squeezed (ha) look. I wish I had some advice for you Fogg1969, to get it so it looks right. Also, The TOTP debut of Take Me I'm Yours was just removed from the site. Now what do we do for fun?
Goddamn awesome!

I was convinced that they would be the next Lennon/Macartney, shame they split.

@SherryDarlingone Great clip, thanks for the pointer. They're having fun there, it's not as polished and 'safe' as this version.

Absolutely killer.
Saw Squeeze in 1987 at Colby College tripping balls on mushrooms. Best concert I ever saw.

No, sorry.
I recorded this as a favour to friend. I wasn't the biggest Squeeze fan in the world when I uploaded this, but have since been converted.
Have seen The Fluffers & Squeeze live since, and consider them both 2 of the best gigs I've ever been to. :)
