Squeeze - 9/17/24 - Central Park NYC - Complete show (4K)

[@Splungeworthy]

One brilliant song after another, played by the best band from that era (yeah I said it). Difford and Tilbrook were truly the Lennon/McCartney of the 80's. And Glenn hasn't lost a step on guitar-very underrated in that area, that truly only comes out in a live setting.

So tight and these songs are not easy to play and sing properly. I'm very glad a couple comments recognize how fine a guitar player Glenn is. He's great. Band sounds amazing.

[@robertmcmanus9185]

What a guitar!!!!!!!

[@mikebears1850]

My first Squeeze gig was The Top Rank Southampton in 1978. We knew then that the songs would sound as fresh 45 years later. The world is a better place with the music of Squeeze.

[@kevinghawkins1840]

Snap!

[@damoa7596]

My first Squeeze gig at Lewisham Odeon 1979 when they supported the Police - amazing gig

[@Juanjo-oi2or]

Love Squeeze for more than forty years, what a talented musicians and writers Difford and Tilbrook, they are truly genius.

[@sianwarwick633]

You know, one cliché shakes the other's hand

[@larrymatarasso]

Squeeze (or at least Difford and Tilbrook) should have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame years ago. Their production from 1978 to 1982 (before the temporary to shift to Difford and Tilbrook as a duo) alone merits it. Other, less talented, artists from the New Wave era have already been inducted. The only problem is the size of the stage needed to hold all of present and former members of the band…aside from Chris and Glenn.😊

[@chrishyde1216]

Really enjoyed Glenn's guitar playing - hadn't realised he was so good.

[@stephenhawkingsfootballboo7885]

Glenn has been criminally overlooked in the pantheon of best lead guitarists.

[@80ssynthfan48]

Glenn is a fantastic guitarist.

[@tennwilcox8663]

I'm so in love with the one off octave lead vocal sound, so unique to the Squeeze signature . 😊

[@MrFrampo56]

Glenn Tilbrook - not only a great composer and singer but a blinding lead guitarist too! Chris Difford - kudos for the words and vocal harmonies. Truly fantastic band! I might yet catch them live. After over 40 years of being a fan!

[@seansmith6745]

Glenn still has his awesome guitar chops. Have loved these guys for years.

[@billserratore]

One of my favorite bands in High School in the 80's! "Pulling Mussels from a shell", "cool for cats", "tempted", "black coffee in bed" - The album Argybargy is one of my prize possessions - "If I didn't love you id hate you!"

[@millster9389]

They were my absolute favorites of that era.

What a great band. So glad I came across this video and it's only a week old. For me, they were right up there with their contemporaries, the Clash, Roxy Music, the Smiths, New Order, Depeche Mode and many others. I need to rebuy ArgyBargy.

Hey Rock and Roll Hall of Fame- What are you waiting for?

[@robertmcmanus9185]

It's not the Pop Hall of fame. If it was they'd have been in there right after Argy Bargy. But, seeing as they induct pop stars into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame??? It's a disgrace they aren't there already.

@@robertmcmanus9185 Pop was Rock and Rock was Pop. It used to be a big tent, but you've been naively segmented by marketing execs.

[@robertmcmanus9185]

@@PS987654321PS Hahahahaha. So, you think from a few comments you can segment me and put me into your library as "this". Or even "that"?? When I bought Rocket To Russia from the Ramones in 1978 I thought it was the finest pop record I'd ever heard. Sure, it was PUNK. But it was POP. As XTC once said... "Well, what do you call that noise? That you put on? This is pop, yeah, yeah This is pop, yeah, yeah This is pop, yeah, yeah This is - You telling me that I'm a sucker for marketing execs is nothing short of hilarious. Just how old are you? I'm in my 60's and I fought for The Raspberries to be recognized as one of the most influential rock bands of the early 70's. Oh, but, by the way... there were POP! Stop judging. Start enjoying, but in particular, stop thinking you can know anything about someone from a few UTube comments.

[@robertmcmanus9185]

​@@PS987654321PS Hmmm. I left a bit of an acerbic reply to this... it seems to be gone. (ah, I love modern censorship) I'll try to tone it down and try again. I did suggest that you shouldn't assume things about others based one a sliver of commentary. I love pop from The Raspberries to The Ramones . All rock to me. Telling me I'm naive and manipulated? Think what you'd like. The rest of us here probably aren't so judgmental.

[@MikesOrganicVideos]

I’ve been a fan of Squeeze ever since I first heard Cool For Cats, back when I was in high school. Saw them for six dollars on the pier at a WPLJ concert. I think it was 35 bucks to see their farewell concert at Madison Square Garden. Honestly, the six dollar concert was a better show. But it’s great to see and hear them playing together again. One of my favorite bands ever.

[@alandmcleod5988]

Glen and Chris. Way to go! You sound the same. Great band

[@AndrewLawsonjughead67]

This is what a reunited band should be I know they had their disagreements and took a break I saw them in early 1990's they sound great the voices and musicianship embrace the past and rock out ... and a new album too 😎

[@MitchellSmith-w4l]

Me too but loud music just makes the tinnitus disappear for a while.

[@AndyCooper761]

Have you tried something like Minuendo Lossless earplugs, rather than ‘normal’ foam plugs or similar? It’s like having control of the bands PA, you can decide how much to lower the volume but it doesn’t mess with the frequencies - everything stays balanced, just at a lower volume.
