In 1987, Squeeze had a peak of popularity, thanks mainly to their song "Hourglass," which was their first hit in a few years. That came from their album "Babylon and On," released just five days prior to this concert.
Not surprisingly, the band played a few songs from that album, plus some of their earlier hits. They also did the cover song "Such a Night," which they never officially released in any form.
This concert is completely unreleased, as far as I know. The sound quality is pretty good, but not outstanding.
This album is 59 minutes long.

If the cover photo looks like the band is playing inside a giant mouth, that's because the band is playing inside a giant mouth! For instance, that's a row of teeth at the bottom. I put this album together ages ago, so I've long since forgotten why they were playing inside a giant mouth. I only know this happened during a TV show appearance in 1987.
I'm always happy when you manage to squeeze in a little Squeeze. Thank you!
ReplyDeletePaul, I wanted to let you know that I saw Squeeze last night here in Las Vegas (first time finally for me). I brought my pocket recorder and had great seats with almost no one around us. The recording needs a little tweaking, as usual, but its very good. They played a solid 90 minute show filled with hits and rarities. Once I've finished the mastering, would you be interested in it? Thanks again for all your great boots, G.
ReplyDeleteI have pretty high sound quality standards, as you probably know. So sure, send me the file and I can see if it sounds good enough to post here. My email address is thompson22 at runbox.com (remove the spaces and use the @ symbol). Thanks.
DeleteThanks Paul, I completely understand. At the very least, the recording may be interesting enough to you personally. And I like to share...
DeleteDefinitely please pass it on so I can give it a listen.
