Phenomenal
by Peejhey on 2024-09-14Massey Hall - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5Haven’t heard anything new from Squeeze in years. This was a bit of a nostalgia show so I didn’t expect much. 40 years on they weren’t going to be as great as back in the day. How wrong could I be? The band was tight and energetic. Tilbrook’s voice was great and his guitar playing just amazing. So many great tunes that I didn’t remember until they played them. This show blew me away. Openers The English Beat suffered from sub par sound and some lightning issues that caused a bit of a diva moment for the lead singer where he stopped a song, complained about the lights, gave the finger to the lighting guy and started the song again with his back to the audience. Eventually turning around and trying to make “light” of the situation.
