Squeeze Live at The Newcastle City Hall in Newcastle, England 01/11/90 “A Round & A Bout” (1.5 Hrs.) Video Archives Volume II

Description

I must admit that my familiarity with these versions of the songs on “A Round and A Bout” has ruined the originals for me because I believe the live versions are much improved over the originals. They actually sound BETTER live both due to the line-up and the faster tempos of each song contrasted with some of the dated and poppier original recordings. “A Round and A Bout” led me to buy all, of their subsequent albums and then go backwards to gobble up most of the remaining ones. Standouts on this release include the stellar “Footprints” and the sublime “Annie Get Your Gun”. Underrated drummer Gilson Lavis infuses these versions with the speed and punch to become utterly unforgettable numbers and Glenn Tilbrook has a tremendous vocal delivery and is a special guitarist, the kind whose solos and riffs cannot be forgotten once heard.
