Oops–I may have mixed the dates up–but I was there both nights they played at the Pier–8/15 and 8/16…I already posted on the first night. They rocked the house (ok, pier) the second night, too…even sold out, I got a ticket from a guy on the street. Outdoors, hot summer night, New York, and a whole audience of true fans–singing along to full songs, not just popular choruses, a history of Squeeze shown throughout the crowd in years-gone-by tour shirts. It really was something quite amazing those two nights for a college kid on a summer trip. I’d taken a cab there but when the concert got out, a sea of people were walking, so I walked along with the crowd all the way to Broadway, and it was just as the theatres were getting out, so I walked all the way back to the ritzy Central Park South hotel my Mom had us booked in. It was a long, long walk, but I was so charged up from the incredible show that it felt like nothing traveling that far on foot. Whadda night…what two incredible nights. It was almost 25 years before I got to see ’em again, and they continued to play great…and I’ll be seeing ’em again this August–WOO-HOO!!
