Squeeze - BBC Sessions, Volume 10: Quay Sessions, Kelvingrove Bandstand, Glasgow, Britain, 8-1-2024

Here's a concert by the band Squeeze, from 2024.

It's pretty amazing to consider that this band was formed in 1974, which means they've been together off and on for fifty years. Frankly, this concert mostly consists of their hits, with only three relatively new songs sprinkled in. So there isn't a big need for me to post this. However, this has been unavailable on the Internet, as far as I could tell. But an anonymous musical friend taped it off the radio when it was broadcast, and sent it to me. So by posting it here, I believe I'm making it available for anyone for the first time. So thanks to that person for their help.

One can find the full set list of this concert here:

That shows five songs were performed that didn't make it to the BBC broadcast, including the final encore, "Black Coffee in Bed." 

I do have to say that although the band members are getting up there in age, you wouldn't be able to tell just from listening to it. They still sound very good.

This album is 53 minutes long.

    1. Did I never post Volume 9? Yikes? It looks like I didn't. I totally thought I did. I have that one all ready to go. I'll try to post it in the next few days.

  2. Thank you, I've always loved Squeeze. I finally got to see them in March of this year, here in Vegas. I recorded the show and also found another audience recording on top of that; just in case you're interested... BTW, they were great!

    1. Thanks, but I'm trying to stay free of audience boots, to share only the highest sound quality.
