Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford of Squeeze brought their acoustic Squeeze concert, The At Odds Couple, to the Count Basie Theatre on December 7.They performed many of their hits, several deep tracks and a few solo songs.
The show started with Glenn & Chris lying in their beds, waking up and having breakfast,with the song It's a Beautiful Day playing over the sound system. They then launched into the Squeeze classic Take Me I'm Yours.
Midway through both sets, the audience was given the chance to ask Glenn and Chris questions with the help of "The Man in the Golden Cape". Happily the questions asked were pretty good. One person asked what their writing collaboration was like. They were told that initially they wrote separately but for their new album they worked together.
Another person asked what Argy Bargy( the title of their third album, a classic) meant. Glenn explained it is a friendly sort of pushing and shoving.
Both had the chance to perform solo and dig into their solo work. Both are great individually, but together they have created some of the greatest songs of the past 30+ years.
