As a German on vacation in the US, I didn’t notice the downfall of the Berlin wall the night before. One of the reasons: I was looking forward to watching the Squeeze convert at MSG. I lived in a hotel on 34th street, just round the corner of MSG and couldn’t believe they were playing it. Also a big surprise was the fact that they could sell out a 20 000-seater, while in Germany hardly anyone knew more than two songs by them. Unfortunately I hadn’t got a camera with me, because I loved the looks of the stage, all coloured in red and black. I don’t remember the support act, maybe it was Kathrina & The Waves..??
But what I remeber best is the great show of Squeeze, a dream which I never thought would come true. They are my all-time favourites of the Eighties, together with XTC and Cure, which I had already seen ten years earlier. And now Squeeze, the boys from South London, where I bought their very first vinyl-singles a few years ago. I remeber the great singing of Glen & Chris, who were accompanied by thousands of fans. I managed to conquer the arena-floor in the second part and anjoyed every second of the gig, though I don’t know the exact play-list anymore. Some fantastic place !! I’ll never forget it and nobody believes me over here in Germany, when I tell them that I saw Squeeze in front of a crowd of 20 000 in The Eighties :-O
