You can almost feel that live atmosphere, that's how good a band Squeeze were....one of the greatest bands ever!!

[@dethfilmsinc5047]

Nobody’s gonna talk about Gilson Lavis killing that complex drum beat through the whole song?

[@soulfight3349]

Thank you for naming him, I've listened to Squeeze for decades, but yes this drummer has always been a favorite!

[@Simon03011974]

Without doubt the finest Squeeze line up of them all. Got this on VHS when I was 16 and it blew me away. Awesome.....

[@slapiro]

I don't think most people realize what a fantastic guitarist Glenn tilbrook is. Just watch "another nail in my heart" among others. Of course let's no forget jools holland --amazing piano player. They all are amazing.

Brilliant band. Lucky enough to see them a few years ago in Camden Town. Glen T. is a massively underrated guitarist and singer.

[@wotsup9oo]

What a clean voice and beautiful live performance

[@nickhirst999]

Yes Glenn is one of the few vocalists who sound the same live and on record. I was astonished when I did the sound for him once and the first thing he did was asked if he could have one of my Silk Cuts! I'd never have thought that someone with a voice like that smoked! So did Freddie Mercury! Personally, I know that when I stopped smoking my voice was better but I liked smoking more than singing so I started again!

Awesome! Nice piano playing by Jools Holland!

[@2008alde]

the magic of a live performance is when the band just gets into that groove ... Squeeze does it every time

[@lotsofhats3224]

THAT HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS I HAVE EVER SEEN. Just perfect.....ahhhh. THAT FUCKING ROCKED!!!!

[@shortandstylish]

This was a great concert!! Taped it on VHS!

[@megac47]

Thanks man. I did a quick Google search after posting and did see that. I love the fretless jazz bass he's playing and his tone. Very cool. I was fortunate to see Squeeze this summer on Cape Cod; fantastic show.

[@fourtheye111]

Superb musicianship all around!

[@nickhirst999]

You're welcome! Happy New Year to you, too.

[@Guitar47c]

Two people have added a thumb down, are they deaf,or stupid? Difford and Tillbrook are one of our greatest song writing partnerships. As a guitarist I think Glenn is one of the most tasteful and skilful guitarists I know.

goosebumps! nuff said 💓

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

Seems like the melody of Footprints (1997) was borrowed from Prince from 1999 (1982).

[@Greenhornet204]

Not hardly

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

@Greenhornet204 Even though I edited that, it still has typos. Prince released the song 1999 in 1982. Squeeze released Footprints in 1987. Clearly, Glenn Tilbrook borrowed some of the melody. Relax, I love both artists!

[@wardiemusic]

I personally think this is there best concert my ears have ever heard. love this version of pulling mussels. black coffee was a highlight as was if its love. Ive done some squeeze covers on my page, check them out. :-)

[@ddill2000]

Gilson Lavis on drums, and how amazing is Glenn Tilbrook on lead guitar always? Quintessence.
