Squeeze concert—Eagles Ballroom, Milwaukee, Wisconsin—November 24, 1987
This was a really good show. It was in a fairly small place, this old ballroom. Glenn Tilbrook played some really great guitar solos. Jools Holland sang this one really good slow song that I didn’t know. I know it’s not on any Squeeze album, so maybe it’s on one of his solo albums. Chris’ voice sounded really hoarse and he only sang lead on a couple of songs (I know he doesn’t sing lead very much anyway, but still.)
Next Sunday, I’m seeing Hüsker Dü here in Madison.
