Thank you Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford for a lifetime of beautifully crafted songs that I've carried with me, always. Please try and come down to Aotearoa New Zealand, you'll be welcomed with open arms.
I saw Squeeze on Wednesday night playing a warmup gig at Deal for their latest Uk tour and they played hit after hit after hit for 1 hour 40 minutes and were really fantastic . Thanks Glenn and Chris for signing my Squeeze Cd sleeves 👍 You really are a class act and I most certainly will see you again and hopefully playing in Kent again
I love the way they always looked really cheekily into the camera as they sang. I play their tracks over & over on a regular basis - such great lyrics.
Before Covid-19, Glenn Tilbrook came to Japan for several times. I have longed to see his show again. Of course, next time with Chris Difford, please !
Caught the first Liverpool Philharmonic show on 7th November 2022 and they remain a superb live band. It's not always easy to perform songs of such delicate crafting and structure live but they out-Squeeze themselves every time we get to see them. I first saw the original line-up at a Charity Benefit Show in March 1978 at the old Oxford Polytechnic and Chris and Glenn still have that strong social conscience that is sadly still badly needed. I admire them for enduring the endless Meet & Greets which nobody (punters and band) particularly enjoyed but which hopefully have raised a tidy sum for The Trussell Trust, the worthiest of worthy causes. More power to your collective elbows, lads. And Thank You.
At least one of the interviewers would have Squeeze songs as part of their life growing up. The other, possibly just introduced to them in more than one way. These two are royalty in our books.
Ya the second interviewer, she had no idea and was just faking it. 'Let's talk about the NEW stuff.... Up the Junction....' . I spat my coffee out over that one.
These two were compared to Lennon-McCartney as songwriters back in the record-press in 1979-80. Everything exciting about the new wave was summed up in Squeeze, the British sound was so wild to hear when all we heard in the US was the usual AOR. Let's not forget, the radio stations DID NOT play these guys, did not play the new wave till around Sept.1980. Today we think they were always popular, but NOT true. The avantguard became guard, but it took time.
Come on, she's a very talented journalist and presenter. She will have known all about the band. The job of the interviewers is to ask questions that get across to the viewers things about the band that they might now know; and bear in mind, A LOT of viewers will never have heard of Squeeze - sadly You chat to any youngster these days and they won't have heard of half the bands you grew up with and vice versa. Tell you what, if you asked me to name any band or musician in the top 20 these days, I wouldn't have a clue.
So great that they mentioned Up The Junction-i will never forget talking with Chris after a show in Troy, NY about the lyrics being a summarized novella or a treatment for a movie, the latter of which was, according to Chris, discussed but never realized. Come back for another U.S. tour, lads!
Saw them last week in Birmingham at The Symphony Hall and musically they were excellent, playing all the hits, a really great band. However they would have been even better if they had stopped and paused now and again to tell a few stories about the songs, they didn't really interact with the crowd.
Naga , youre a bit too young for these boys , The squeeze are Charlie’s era , and mine . Such a great band , lyrics are superb and they have stood the test of time .

Arise sir Glen and sir Chris!!!
I’ve been following them for years, since 1979. Not seen them very often but they always deliver.

I saw Squeeze at Maryland Live Casino two years ago. The Best concert I've ever been to. I've also seen Gel Tilbrook Live. These guys are Incredible.

I saw them two weeks ago in Bath, absolutely mind blowingly brilliant, 40 years just melted away. Thank you Squeeze. Xxxx

@@IRgEEK 6:04 Did you hear her call them "The Squeeze"? 🥴
Chris difford is the voice of cool for cats
Glen tilbrook is the voice of up the junction ive been listening to them for 50 years still love them
Squeeze are amazing
They were the 80's answer to Lennon & McCartney. They were that good. Great songwriters in their own right.
Seen them in leads live not long ago and they were absolutely amazing and that man can sing and play guitar. Best live band I've ever seen.
Love their music. Great guys, playing great gigs, for a great cause. 👏🏻 I wish them well.
Love Squeeze - amazing - so many great memories
Such great music. Hopefully they'll come to Canada soon.
Saw them tonight in Torquay..they were amazing even though I wasnt born when they were around

"Have you ever fallen out"! She hadn't got a clue who they were!
Calls them "The Squeeze" too 🤭

@@andrewmurray5542 I'm 25 and saw Squeeze a couple of years ago.
Watching them in Llandudno tmoz can't wait!
Fantastic band.

can't believe it's over 40 years ago
Still sound amazing.
Love you guys ❤
I love squeeze hello from norway
49 years, wow. I hope you make 50 👏👏👏👏
Glenn ate all the proceeds
Yes sure looks like it!!!
never forget where they come from..sarrf east london
Completely unknows in France. We are maybe 12 who know this fantastic band.
See you in Torquay !
Good grief how they both have changed with the year's.
49 year's together? Wow! Shame the year's have gone by too fast.
Great band. Why go on Big Brother Corp today?
Saw them last week in Birmingham at The Symphony Hall and musically they were excellent, playing all the hits, a really great band. However they would have been even better if they had stopped and paused now and again to tell a few stories about the songs, they didn't really interact with the crowd.
Cool for cats; heat for humans.

Glenn Tilbrook in Weeks with Chris Difford. A Baloon in an unpenetrated night.
AND gLENS A MULTI MILLIONERE
hOW dO yOU kNOW ?
I doubt that. They both got ripped off by dodgy record companies, agents etc
@@stevencornfield6631 . I don’t see why not. The Ramones achieved multi millionaire status from gigging and T shirts without sod all music sales.
So?
Naga , youre a bit too young for these boys , The squeeze are Charlie’s era , and mine . Such a great band , lyrics are superb and they have stood the test of time .
Squeeze made some great songs. I wish the hosts would stop talking over their guests and let them finish answering.
No wonder Glen wants fans to bring food!
I'm from New York I can't understand a word this chick is saying
