Squeeze- "Pulling Mussels (From The Shell)/Tempted"- LIVE 1989 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]

[@oscarschoenmaker931]

Way ahead of their time.

[@alexday5892]

No one can take this from Glen ! A superb moment and a great song. Prime in it’s time !!

[@planetmoon5817]

The Beatles had George Martin and Ringo Starr. Is there more to add ?

[@martinfitzgerald1605]

Difford, Tillbrook, Jools magnificent. Love Squeeze🍻

[@garethhughes6739]

Keith Wilkinson - but most importantly, Gilson.

[@jasonsmith9598]

one of the most underrated British bands ever .Seen them live 4 times and always class .

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

I saw them at the Liverpool empire I’m pretty sure it was 1981 not long after seeing genesis duke tour there and Kate Bush just before them, I’m a lucky man.

[@myheartisaspinningdisc7766]

Just sensational. Glenn’s vocal in Tempted is outrageously good

[@mrCUTNPASTE]

Other +-50 year olds finding this today still know every word in Tempted? One might say it's a Gen X Catechism

[@shellyr104]

This convinces me that Ours was the last cool generation. ⏰ I’m instantly 17, beautiful and fearless.

[@tacob69]

I agree I was a freshman in college.I'm a musician and my roomate was floored because I had this album but also Voivod,Slayer,then also Steve Miller.He couldnt believe I like alot of different music.This is such a sing along album.

[@exlibrisross]

Thank you. And now I have tears in my eyes, the best music & the best of times. Blessings ever to you and all those you love, from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

[@benefactorx4192]

So am i

[@colingeddes2172]

Amen to that. Late 70s early 80s great time to be a young teenager with great music.

[@angelarorrer8055]

I’m so with you. I still listen to my 80’s music religiously. I had tickets to see Squeeze in my town yesterday and wasn’t able to go. I am going to sad about this for a good while🥲

[@Benjo-qd1dv]

WOW. Amazing version of Pulling Mussels. The vocals are perfect and both solos rip.

[@Naefukabootio]

Fantastic, thank you so much for sharing. That's one of the best versions of Pulling Mussels (From the Shell) I've ever heard. When this lineup plays together, magic happens.

[@tomgutierrez]

Glenn Tilbrook is one of the most underrated pop musicians ever. What a talent!

[@oskarvikstrom229]

Yes

[@trishden]

It took me many years, but I'm a big fan now! Grew up in the 80's with these songs, but now finally finding a big appreciation for them.

[@arissongsmusic]

Glenn Tillbrook kills it 🎤 💯 🎸

[@boohoo2948]

His voice sounded so clear

[@TimSchmidt_art]

this song never gets old!

[@thursfield3107]

Wow. During '80s i began life with Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden....dipping back to those times I missed a lot of quality stuff - bloody good stuff like this

[@501sqn3]

Fabulous band Squeeze, really, really seriously good band !. 👏👏👏👍👌

[@augsdoggs]

Just a really good, solid band. Two great classic tracks with a very good performance. Tempted was so good! As a drummer myself, I appreciate this guys chops.

[@bosco3131]

Gilson Lavis… fantastic

[@seanm6311]

He's tight as... a drum. ! . 👌🏻

[@timontide6404]

Boiling hot day, Jools is wearing a jacket and a turtleneck.

[@phatbackbeat6553]

I was never much of an ‘80’s fan, but saw these guys open for Hall n Oates in 2021. They stole the show. They were way more “rock n roll” than just this pop stuff. I really enjoyed them.

[@ThomasPBlack-es6wi]

I have to say.. I just really enjoyed this two song performance. He sounds just like the studio version. Real talented.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@ThomasPBlack-es6wihe won’t sound like the studio version of tempted because Paul Carrick did the vocals on it. I agree Glen always sounds great though.

[@501sqn3]

@@Eleventhearlofmars what a load of random crap!!. Paul Carrick does not sing on any squeeze recordings! Wtf 🤷🤦

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@501sqn3 Random crap? I think you need to go and check out what you’re saying, Paul Carrack does the lead vocals on this squeeze hit, I was 16 when the song came out and bought the album. The original video for tempted is actually on KZbin go check it out and then come back and tell me I’m still talking random crap. What an annoying thing to say to someone when you don’t know 💩yourself. By the way it was the idea of elvis Costello to use carrick as he was producing their album at the time.

[@501sqn3]

@@Eleventhearlofmars Oh yes, I haven't had a chance to do some research!, but fair enough,.... I shall do it now.

Like I’d died and gone to heaven: Squeeze’s Gilson Lavis and Elvis Costello’s Pete Thomas on the same bill - both in their fighting prime. Like Ali / Frazier! Atlanta Georgia. Fox Theater. 1981.

[@ZigbertD]

You know, I've heard people say they were mediocre live. I've never seen them, but every recorded live performance I've seen is great, this one included.

40 some frickin years and to this day I can't be on vacation somewhere and not just break into "you wish you had a motor boat,..." or some line from Misadventure "stole my wallet with a picture of my missus,...." Dudes could write.

[@michaelpeters1517]

Saw them at the Masonic temple in Toronto in 1980 and as a musician, they were absolutlely spot on and if I closed my eyes I felt I was listening to the East Side Story Record!

[@river4462]

There's another version of this concert on KZbin where there's more visuals of Jools.

[@ianmarsden8568]

NIce version - Check out "Live At The Regal Theatre, Hitchin / 1982" on KZbin - has the additonal backing vocals; "Seaside, Seaside!" , "Deckchair, Deckchair!" & "Starfish, Starfish!" - Smile, go on I dare you :)

[@beachcomberbob3496]

What always pi$$es me off about these live videos is that the movie makers cut away to crowd scenes instead of concentrating on close-ups of the actual musicians and their skills. As a musician, I'd be showing camera views of guitar necks, drums, bass, keyboards and the band members performing. Bad dancers and people clapping add nothing to the performance.

[@thestormforce5]

Paul's version is great but there is nothing like hearing it from the guy who wrote it!

[@jamienieradka2018]

Chris wrote the words, Glen, the music. But Paul just borrowed it. Maybe they thought he was more soulful. Fine with Glen...perfectly fine.

[@andybanjo7530]

Massive squeeze fan but did laugh at 7:40 when I heard jools BV’s haha a little flat and sounds just like his speaking voice
