Squeeze review – slick pop perfection that refuses to show its age
The band’s 50th anniversary tour gets off to a shaky start when Glenn Tilbrook’s voice begins to go, but their well-oiled musicianship sees them through
It’s not a dream start for the opening night of their 50th anniversary UK tour, Tilbrook having to interrupt the show because he was struggling with his voice – not that you would have noticed – then having to change the set accordingly and cut it slightly short. The eight-piece band are a tight, slick operation who navigate Tilbrook’s vocal absence expertly, often pushing songs into extended grooves to produce a fine final run. Cool for Cats still purrs, with Chris Difford’s voice remaining in great form, while the bubbling synths, deft melodies and military-like drums that drive Take Me I’m Yours make it a potent closer.
