Glenn Tilbrook is the most underrated British songwriter (with Diffords lyrics) of the last 30 years. And he's an unbelievable guitarist... check out him playing Voodoo chile
Agreed! It was hard for that next generation of songwriters to get their recognition in the same way. Paul Heaton is another guy who was massively underrated.
No doubt. I never realized just how good Sqweeze is until hearing this whole thing out. I was just showing one of my online flirts "Black Coffee in Bed".
Blimey. Feeling my age watching this. What a wonderful British band Squeeze are. Deserve to be up there with the Beatles, the Stones and the Kinks. I first saw them live, on the "argy bargy" tour in 1980, at the Liverpool students union, Mountford Hall. I stood really close to the front, and was astonished at how great a guitarist Glen Tilbrook was/is. He simply didn't look wt what his fretting hand was doing during solo's. Even Hendrix couldn't do that! He inspired me to buy my first guitar and learn. I now have 4 guitars, and a bass, and I'm still crap. Love Squeeze.
@@hoover2501 I said he's good, just that it may be a bit much (and misguided; they're playing different types of music after all) to say he's better than Jimi.
What can you say about these wonderful people who have given so much pleasure to millions over the years with their superb musicianship and fantastic songs. Wasted on a wooden audience who remained mostly static throughout. Difford and Tillbrook are Lennon and McCartney Mark 2. Totally original and nobody has their song writing ability. Brilliant, just brilliant. Thanks for perfection.
They toured Australia in around 79 or 80. They were known here as UK SQUEEZE. I went to see them at a pub venue, sticky carpet, a few hundred people, purely on the back of Cool for Cats. I was blown away by them. It’s a rare band that you see knowing only 1 song and love the entire gig which makes you desperate to buy their record. 🎸❣️🎼

Watching on Big TV - Sound great over Hifi - Next best thing to being there - Stood in middle of my living room watching the Squeeze with a Pint of Ice cold beer in hand my hand No queeues - No elbow jogging - No Rain - No big guy coming and standing right in front of you ! -Just The Best bits and no long travel home ! - Who could ask for more ! Thankyou for Sharing ! S.B. British Isles !
Underated is an overused term on RUclips but Glen Tilbrook is one fine guitarist and his lead breaks always do the songs justice. Squeeze aren't underated, we all know how excellent they are.
Exactly, those who know Squeeze know how talented they are. I do feel, however, Squeeze is under appreciated. That’s why they aren’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when they truly deserve to be.
They don't come much better than Glenn Tilbrook. Towering talent, and just an overall superb fantastic band! One of the all time greats in my opinion!! This was awesome to watch.
I always knew GT was a masterful guitar player and singer (and songwriter) - but as a guitar player I nearly fell out of my chair to see him play AND sing Goodbye Girl - that’s a hell of a trick!
I had the special treat of seeing Squeeze perform live in Boston on Tues PM. Fantastic sample of 16 songs - still exceptional! Run don’t walk to see them while they are touring
Seen them many times over the years and lve never seen them do a bad gig but my best was in Blackheath south London when they played an intimate venue prior to going on tour they were rocking and the audience knew all the words ? Some Fantastic Place that night , Cheers 🍻 to Squeeze
Dear Mr. Tilbrook, Time only comes back round if, you were of any repute in the beginning. Really lovely and heartwarming to see Mr. D & yourself happily comfortable on stage together. Thank You.
I saw squeeze in a free gig on BlackHeath in the 70s when I was a kid growing up in Lewisham SE London I was hooked and seen them a few times since over the years. I saw them again recently in the corn exchange in Cambridge and nearly cried at how good they still are and the brilliant SE London memories all came flooding back! Thanks guys for the great memories of great nights and great music!
I first watched this concert around 12 years ago and it was and still is one of the best arrangements I've ever seen. Tilbrook has to be one of the best front men guitarists in the world.
MY YOUTH AND BEYOND - Growing up in London. Also as changing Squeeze line ups go over the years, this is up there as one of the best. Christal clear and tight live sound.
These guys still have all the energy you could ask for and then some!! Imagine closing your eyes and hearing this and you would think the gig was circa 1982!!
I can’t believe I found this! I was at this show; just happened to be walking by the park and heard them playing. I thought it might be a cover band, not many free shows pop up, and was I surprised! Good show, but it sounds better taped. The speakers and sound were crap.
Great gig. We were so fortunate to have some great songwriters active on the 70/80s UK music scene. With Difford and Tillbrook, Elvis Costello and Graham Parker being the first to come to mind.
Outstanding, simply outstanding 👏👏👏👏, one is old and not up to date with technology, one has an old gas and steam phone, 😩😩 ones love got one a new phone with a thing called Spotify for Xmas. . . . . Been squeezing ever since . . 😁😁 nail in thy heart on constant replay 🍺🍺🍺 cheers from new🥝🥝🥝Zealand, cmon arsenal 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you so much for posting this. This show rekindled my love for Squeeze. I hope you will check out my favorite version of Goodbye Girl : "Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze): Goodbye Girl live in Edinburgh Scotland 2018"
I seriously dont understand how under appreciated Squeeze are. One of the best and uniquely British bands ever . Up the Junction, pulling muscles from a shell, Labelled with love and even Cool for cats. Steve and Glenn fucking amazing talents and Jools Holland too. Obviously not in this beautifully poignant song.
Damn fine band ! Now as in the 80's when I heard them and was knocked out, they are vocally and instrumentally as sharp and crisp as any great English Band, - better than most, I would say better than all because Squeeze doesn't posture, they just play.
Saw them in the Fox in Atlanta. Radio was saying the concert list. I yelled at the radio... Where is Squeeze???? Next announcement was Squeeze, all the original guys!!! YES!!!!!
@@geo386 this virus is so depressing. They were actually touring with Hall and Oates this fall. Which probably won't happen now. I saw them last September with X. Hopefully this will all taper off soon.
Some fantastic place is a great underrated album Babylon and on ,East side story , Frank , Argybargy , cool for cats even Play The knowledge has a few great songs 2017
Squeeze has always been criminally under-rated as a band and as musicians!
there have always been wankers going around saying everything is underrated.
I couldn't agree with you more!
Only to the criminally underrated.
Age seems to have missed Glenn's voice. He sounds exactly as he did 40 years ago. Top bloke and top band.
Yes, that's what I say to my wife, Glenn sounds the same as decades ago.
Tilbrook is also one of the most under rated lead guitar players in the history of pop music.
agree
👎🏻
I was thinking the same thing!
Glenn Tilbrook is the most underrated British songwriter (with Diffords lyrics) of the last 30 years.
And he's an unbelievable guitarist... check out him playing Voodoo chile

Totally agree…saw them Monday…jaw dropping ❤️❤️❤️
No doubt. I never realized just how good Sqweeze is until hearing this whole thing out. I was just showing one of my online flirts "Black Coffee in Bed".
Just watched. Excellent
I agree and I was about to say the same thing thanks for posting that!
What an incredibly special band they are. This would've been fantastic to see live.
Love the audience being attentive and respectful to a great band
Squeeze's songs tell all our stories: our loves, our losses, our regrets, our dreams...loved their music then, love them more today
And that folks, is how it's done!
K R ....amazing band and performance....like nothing has changed since 1980’s
K R. Very true! 👌😊
Damn these guys just keep getting better and better every one of them outstanding musicians and off the charts vocals. Brilliant!!!!

It's super crisp, clean playing
Tilbrook IS a great guitarist, no doubt....but no way you can put him above Hendrix, that's going a bit too far.
Ooh the memories, 90’s were iconic
@@bloomintokyoseoul
If you've never really seen this guy play all out, I wouldn't discount him being just as good as Hendricks. He's that good
@@hoover2501 I said he's good, just that it may be a bit much (and misguided; they're playing different types of music after all) to say he's better than Jimi.
Tempted is one of the greatest songs ever...
Yes it is.
I don’t think many Americans realize how great great great songwriters they are you can name like 25 songs right off the bat not exaggerating
What can you say about these wonderful people who have given so much pleasure to millions over the years with their superb musicianship and fantastic songs. Wasted on a wooden audience who remained mostly static throughout.
Difford and Tillbrook are Lennon and McCartney Mark 2.
Totally original and nobody has their song writing ability.
Brilliant, just brilliant. Thanks for perfection.
Great performance. Tillbrooks voice is still awesome. Great lineup.
They toured Australia in around 79 or 80. They were known here as UK SQUEEZE. I went to see them at a pub venue, sticky carpet, a few hundred people, purely on the back of Cool for Cats. I was blown away by them. It’s a rare band that you see knowing only 1 song and love the entire gig which makes you desperate to buy their record. 🎸❣️🎼
Same. Convinced my mates to come along. Fantastic memory 😎
Oh the gorgeousness...Glenns Voice still so perfect
All these years later and the lyrics are still there in my head and Tillbrook and Difford are as fresh as ever,
A fantastic British Band. Loved them when the first came out, still loving their music today.

So happy i found this. Love Squeeze. Wish they did Labelled With Love too.
@@JWCFB That was the 1 song I wanted to hear
August Nashville 2021
one of the best lines ever in a rock song. my assets froze while yours have dropped. great educated songwriters these guys are.
Stunning performance by one of the very greats- give me chills every time.

finally, someone who understands that it's a physical impossibility for everythng to be underrated while nothing is seemingly overrated.
Tillbrooks voice is spot on....even after all these years...Difford as well! Bands latest iteration also very tight...especially the drummer.
Yeah, I don't know who this drummer is, but he's absorbed all of the original album drum parts and he's nailing it.
@@pambloom_white2050 His name is Simon Hanson. He's a mate of mine.
@Coogan Lots. He's a season drummer. He played with Glenn for years before Squeeze
@Coogan That's it!
@Coogan pleasure, mate
They don't come much better than Glenn Tilbrook. Towering talent, and just an overall superb fantastic band! One of the all time greats in my opinion!! This was awesome to watch.
14ys old in Scotland, Squeeze and Queen. 35yrs later I had to buy the album. These guys told stories with every song. Brilliance!
In Cayman. Had to get it!
I always knew GT was a masterful guitar player and singer (and songwriter) - but as a guitar player I nearly fell out of my chair to see him play AND sing Goodbye Girl - that’s a hell of a trick!
Absolutely Amazing! Tilbrook's voice as good as ever. One of the most underrated bands all time. What an amazing catalog of hit songs.
another 'underrated' wan****

What great lyrics and what a great voice. Timeless!

Keyboard work on Slap & Tickle is bloody incredible!
I’ve watched so many live videos of Squeeze and this has got to be the best one
Great great band! So nice to hear “is this love” again! Their music is awesome
one of my favorite bands growing up
Thanks for uploading this, I've been trying to find it for about five years!
Lovely. I've seen Squeeze here in Pittsburgh 5 times. Love to see them in Blighty.
I'd have given anything to be there. So fantastic.
Octave harmonies are so simple but perfect for Squeeze!
Love Glen and Squeeze.
Dear Mr. Tilbrook,
Time only comes back round if, you were of any repute in the beginning.
Really lovely and heartwarming to see Mr. D & yourself happily comfortable on stage together.
Thank You.
Would have liked to have been there, looks like a great place for a concert. Squeeze are as good as ever.
Oh my Gosh - I was just so in love with Glenn Tillbrook in the 80's 💗👌👌👌💋& just have Always loved "Squeeze"
Oh man, the harmonies!!!!!
I saw them at Hammersmith Odeon in the early 80s.....
Great Gig.
Great band.
Real musicians.
Why has it taken me 40 years or more to discover Squeeze? Where have I been all these years? This is brilliant stuff! Wunderbar!
There`s Lennon & McCartney, but there also is Difford & Tilbrook. I rest my case.
Lennon & McCartney wrote both music and lyrics. Plus they had Harrison writing even more classics. Case closed.
@@scottandrewbrass er nope

Proper musicians. Loved to have been there for this. Do it again guys
I have loved this band forever! Loving this!
One of my all-time favorite bands. ❤️❤️
Superb band and always on top form when live on stage
I like the crowd getting bigger and bigger as the songs go on.
I can’t believe I found this! I was at this show; just happened to be walking by the park and heard them playing. I thought it might be a cover band, not many free shows pop up, and was I surprised! Good show, but it sounds better taped. The speakers and sound were crap.
Great show! Can't stop listening. These guys sound so good live! Great songs and lots of fun listening to them. Awesome crew!
Takes you right back to your youth, Bruce Willis on drums is a nice touch 😎👍🤣
Wow! What a great concert. An excellent band rockin well. And 10/10 four the video and sound Artists Den!
Unbelievable concert and band!
Thank heavens for the you tube archive. Growing up in South London in the 70/80s Squeeze were emblematic. Still quality,not that the crowd got it. ❤
Absolutely amazing, loved listening to it. Thank you for sharing.
omg this was fantastic. miss those days..............
Great gig. We were so fortunate to have some great songwriters active on the 70/80s UK music scene. With Difford and Tillbrook, Elvis Costello and Graham Parker being the first to come to mind.
1986 at the Greek in Berkeley, CA. The concert of the decade.
Absoulety brilliant concert...well done Squeeze Dougie Dowerin town Western Australia

Amazing how Glenn's voice is exactly the same as all those years ago. Fantastic!
Is that Bruce Willis from Fifth Element playing the drums??? Wonderful concert, his voice is still great after all these years✌️😎
Thank you so much for posting this. This show rekindled my love for Squeeze. I hope you will check out my favorite version of Goodbye Girl : "Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze): Goodbye Girl live in Edinburgh Scotland 2018"
Worst audience ever. Here they were watching rock/pop royalty in squeeze and they might as well have been in the queue to return their library books.
Yeah, it's hard to dance and hold up an iPhone. Zombies.
Well said mate very disappointing bunch 💤💤💤
they're Brits - they'd rather be in some dismal dark pub drinking warm 6% lager, smoking cigarettes and bitching about their retched existence
@@richardchmiel3074 actually the audience (if u can call them that) are American I believe.
Thats at 42nd street in NYC most prob didn’t know them. Cant believe I didn’t know about it. Would have been there.
One of the great bands.
PBS broadcast this, the home of Sesame Street. I’m awfully glad they did but at the same time I am sort of feeling my age at this moment (lol).😁
I seriously dont understand how under appreciated Squeeze are. One of the best and uniquely British bands ever . Up the Junction, pulling muscles from a shell, Labelled with love and even Cool for cats. Steve and Glenn fucking amazing talents and Jools Holland too.

Missing Jools and Gilson (and Cool For Cats and Black Coffee In Bed ) but apart from that, excellent!
First band I ever saw live at the Hammersmith Odeon...loved them ever since
What a performance. Pure musicianship. Great songs and lyrics. This is how it should be done 👍🍷
Love these guys. Best British Band since The Beatles!
Damn fine band ! Now as in the 80's when I heard them and was knocked out, they are vocally and instrumentally as sharp and crisp as any great English Band, - better than most, I would say better than all because Squeeze doesn't posture, they just play.
From bar, to street, to bookie..damn
Saw them in the Fox in Atlanta. Radio was saying the concert list. I yelled at the radio... Where is Squeeze???? Next announcement was Squeeze, all the original guys!!! YES!!!!!
I’m seeing them in Sept and cannot wait. They sound phenomenal and look fantastic!♥️
"I'm an egg, in the teeth of a shark"....
To be able to perform like that after almost 4 decades is, to put it mildly, unfathomable!
Spot on musicians
the Karte chop keyboard!!!! Hey Now, Lovin' it!!!
Labelled with Love is in my top 2 favorites
Nice to see Squeeze again.
I never saw them live, but love their early work.
They tour too much, not to be seeing them, worth the price of admission, for sure.
@@soysaucefool I am sure about the touring, but with this virus will it change their schedules?
@@geo386 this virus is so depressing. They were actually touring with Hall and Oates this fall. Which probably won't happen now. I saw them last September with X. Hopefully this will all taper off soon.

This is awesome!
And introducing on drums....Bruce Willis!
Glenn Tilbrook...What a great songwriter
What energy, Awesome.
Great stuff !!!
Brilliant performance 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Tillbrook's gotta be one of the best pop guitarists ever
Wow Glenn, that voice of yours .... L O V E
The best neigbourhood concert EVER !
Ii saw squeeze in 1985 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. 2nd row right in front of Joel’s Holland. He was so funny 😂.
Great band. And to have Bruce Willis as the drummer is a bonus.
it's not bruce...
andrew Brown Damn, ruin my dreams why don’t you. And there was me really, really believing Bruce Willis was a drummer for Squeeze.
Forest Ntt : and Elvis Costello on keyboards....
Lol
Exactly what I was thinking
Just gorgeous!
That's a terrific version of Tempted!
First, Lennon/McCartney...then, Difford/Tilbrook. Class dismissed!
