Saw the guys last night – they were pretty damn good – great how the songs stay so fresh. We’ve seen Squeeze quite a few times over the years, mostly in Brighton. The very first time was at The Lyceum in the Aldwych; I swear they were supporting Lene Lovich – would I be right? This would have been about 1978. The other band was called The Yacvhets (I think).

  Thanks so much for your comment. Glad you had a great show!
  
  Squeeze played at The Lyceum twice in 1978 and twice in 1979. You can check out the gigs by using the search box and including ‘The Lyceum 1979’ as your search term. On 12 August 1979 they played there with The Yachts and Simple Minds as support acts. Does that sound right?

Well…bless my soul!!! THE gig of the year. I saw Heaven 17 down here in Brighton last week, and that was a really good night. Squeeze, however, not only topped it, but took playing live up a par or 6. Fifth time I’ve seen them. Komedia in 2007 was good, but this was exceptional. Not only did they play like no other band can play, but the fact that they looked like they thoroughly enjoyed themselves added to the great night it truly was. For me, an encore with Slap & Tickle is well worth the wait, but this was surpassed by the chaps doing that unexpected dance. Bizarre, but brilliant. And what a laugh. My emotions were running high, the cartoon of ‘Up The Junction’ added to the poignancy of the song, the audience lapping the vibe up. Such a great, great band. I went home, poured myself a drink, and put ‘Singles 45 and Under’ in the DVD player. Nice to go to bed with a smile on my face, and a song or two in my heart. My 45 minute walk to work was all Squeeze on the ipod. Words truly can’t express how much I love and admire Difford, Tilbrook, and the boys. Looking forward to the next gig down here.
