Well, it's 2021, and I just saw Squeeze last night, so I think they got back together at some point. At least Glen and Chris did. Great show!

I saw Squeeze last summer in 2019 and they were amazing. I will always love this band.

Tempted is, IMHO, one of those songs that rank as an all-time great and deserves a place in everyone's music stash.

Very cool when the bass player said his son realized his dad played Madison Square Garden and he might be a very cool father to have !! So neat to jam with guys who have reached the pinnacle of music venues.

Saw them several times between 1974 and 1980. They were a local pub band playing around Deptford & Greenwich and at local festivals. Always top notch music. Met Glen and lived opposite Jools. They were old school friends of a friend of mine.

Although this episode sure ends depressingly, the good news is that by 2007, they were together, even with Jools on keyboards, and they just fucking crushed it that summer. Front row of the Greek Theatre in LA/Hollywood.

It means nothing really, but I can tell you I have met Glenn Tilbrook a couple of times. And you will not find a nicer, more down to earth, very gifted entertainer.

I always thought this was one of the most underrated and talented bands in rock n roll. If you're young and don't know much about Squeeze, get their best hits album. Every song is brilliant and the lyrics are every bit as good as any you'll hear.

Another nail in for my heart is pop perfection.

These guys are the Beatles of my time. I love them!!

Funny that Chris made that comment about The Waltons - I saw Difford & Tilbrook together few years ago (2015) and the show opened with them 'waking up' in a bed together and then starting the show. Very funny and an excellent show. It's good that they put their differences aside, such great songwriters.

I have been a Squeeze fan my whole life. I saw Difford and Tillbrook perform together in the summer of 1984 at the Stone in San Francisco.

The first band on MTV Unplugged. They showed up at the studio with all their standard equipment. Had to scour NYC to find guitars for the show!!

Saw Squeeze last night in Torquay, brilliant amazing vocals & they have found a fantastic keyboard player👏👏 👏

If you ever get a chance to see Glen Tillbrook solo, do not hesitate and buy the ticket. His voice has not changed at all.

I don't believe the members will ever realize the impact they had on generations of music listeners. The songs were absolutely brilliant. These guys didn't have the drug problem but they had the individual ego problem. Talented group to say the least.

So glad to know that all's well, ends well. Squeeze has reformed with Difford and Tilbrook. They have a a new line up with a bad-ass lady bassist, a fun loving keyboardist, and a delghtfully whimsical drummer. I saw them in Scottsdale, Arizona last month and they sounded AMAZING Their new C.D. is called, "Cradle To The Grave" and it's AMAZING. Chris and Glenn have mautured and they all seem to be having a wonderful time touring. Time certainly can and in the case of this band, heal.

Just saw them last week here in DC (Wolf Trap) W/ Psychodelic Furs. Great Show!!! Glenn is an underrated guitar player!!!

I have nothing but fond memories in 82? when they played The Ritz on E. 15th in NYC- promoting. Well the single at the time was "Tempted". We were packed in WAY over capacity crushing/leaning/ dancing/bopping up and down with strangers. It was like everyone on the floor was one unit. A complete nightmare if it were now, but age 20, those things don't matter. Life is forever, etc.etc. ...but thank you SQUEEZE for an incredible night, such a happy memory.

I saw Squeeze twice on the same tour with Hall and Oates frontrunning. They are probably the most underrated band of all time and I'm so glad they got back together and are becoming ever more popular on both sides of the pond

I saw Squeeze in November 2021. They’re just incredible

Saw them on Tuesday in edinburgh….shit shit hot …..band is tight and Glenn tilbrooks voice is unreal….10/10…

Thank you for sharing these. I never thought I'd see these "REUNITED" episodes again. I loved the episode featuring "Haircut". Nick Heyward looks better today in 2024 than when these were aired in 2005. SQUEEZE is/was brilliant. I saw them at The Ritz in NYC . We were packed like sardines. And "Tempted" was the song of the day😊

"Cool for Cats" was the first Squeeze song I ever saw or heard. Have all their albums (on vinyl).

My memory fooled me. I would have never guessed they formed in the 70's, because they are so fresh in my mind.

Glen dont know just how much people loved squeeze wake up Glen I play your stuff every day for years and it is still great love it and you are very handsome

Love SQUEEZE and 70's / 80"s Music!

Paul Carrack sang lead on the original "Tempted." Carrack also sang with "Mike and the Mechanics." (Living Years) and "Ace" (How Long) and by himself (Don't Shed a Tear.") Elvis Costello produced "Tempted" and can be heard singing on the 2nd verse.

Chris and Glenn apart write really good songs, but together, they make something special. Those two together harmonize so so so well, and chris words compliment glens music so god damn well

with main stream media (movies, news, etc) sucking so much these day, watching this was a breath of fresh air

Saw them in concert a couple days ago in NYC.... they're still awesome!

Great band seriously underrated always puts a smile 😀 on my face

Squeeze was one of the best bands ever :) In the very first days of MTV, 'Black Coffe in Bed' and 'Tempted' ruled. Great stuff. Sorry I missed them in Colorado when they came through.

"I keep thinking the doors are gonna spring open behind me and, people are gonna run in but... They're not." Chris Difford. How sad.

Thank goodness they came to their senses and are now back out touring. A new version but still the essence of Squeeze.

Chris looked so sad. The way he keeps glancing around waiting for people at the end is absolutely heartbreaking. He was genuinely sad 😢

One of my favorite bands of all time.I wore their record "sweets" out. Happy to find this video. Thank you

Extremely talented lyricists and amazing vocal collaboration! Miss Diff &Till and the band! They shaped the 80s music !

My first concert. 1982, Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, Long Island, NY. Squeeze was the headliner. I was 14 and thought they were absolutely the best band ever. I wore out three different cassettes of East Side Story and prided myself on knowing all the words to Piccadilly (or at least thought I did! Try figuring out the line of "adult films and Trini Lopez" without Google-doh!). They headlined and the opening acts were a little known band out of Athens, GA called REM who you couldn't understand and bounced around on stage like some kind of weird mop tied to a pogo stick. The next act was far superior and still gets my blood pumping-The English Beat! Ranking Roger OWNED the stage! So good, so cool, so fun. Makes me want to go back but then I think about my bad skin, dorky haircut, and braces and think better of it. Thanks for the memories!

Jools a bit douchy here with his response to doing a one off for the fans. You're welcome Jools!!!

I spent a bit of my pocket money on Squeeze singles trying to get as many of the coloured vinyls as they put out. A great era for buying singles over here.

I saw them a couple of times in the early 80s. Great band.

Nothing but admiration and respect for Glenn Tilbrook.

Watched them at Daytona Beach Florida spring break 30 years ago, it was brilliant.

I’ve never had a problem with Jools Holland. He’s an incredibly talented and funny man. His A-Z album in particular is excellent.

Me and my son are going see this band in Dublin in Aug as well as Madness glad to see both bands that broke up and back together i feel young again thanks guys .

I absolutely love squeeze . They were the soundtrack of my teenage years. Chris Difford is one sexy guy x

I must have seen them a dozen times. Absolute professionals in every respect.

I hope those men reunite and find love for each other again

What a bloody shame. That would have been an incredible thing to see. Such a lot of talent in one space. Love those songs. Cool for cats always makes me smile. I'm a londoner so i love the sound. Its sadly missed living in melbourne. Lets get The Jam back together :-)

Saw squeeze last night, absolutely amazing gig

Seen Squeeze many times & they are true gentleman. Great musicians & songwriters. Think covid has scuppered some of their resent plans but you can be sure you will see & hear them soon. 👍🇬🇧🎼🎼🎸🎤

I just saw a spot about Tears for Fears reunion so I was wondering about Squeeze. Glad to hear it mate. Cheers!

I've seen Squeeze Live in Hollywood in 1978 & 1979 with The Buzzcocks & 999! @ The Palace or Hollywood Palladium? I forget? It was a very long time ago! I think I've seen them with The Motors Also!

my favourite band ever saw them again 2 weeks ago when they supported Madness... Love them forever.

I saw Squeeze at the Nassau County Coliseum, with the Beat, and REM. You Americans know the The Beat as the English Beat. We trained out from Manhattan. Such an amazing show. Worst part we missed REM. I remember being told about REM six months later and it turns out that I could have heard and known them before.

Fame is a crushing thing. Great band, great music.

Squeeze, one of the best of their style of music.

Amazing. I saw them at City Hall Newcastle, I was hooked.

I love this band. My high school life

sad egoes for those who said no..they never grew up. i saw that they finally picked up...

I didn't watch Bands Reunited much at the time. It was shunted 'round the schedules and I thought that my next favourite band would be along any minute so I didn't need those that have gone to reform. Well now it's several years since I've had a new favourite band because the industry find it easier to promote a single person be it reality star, rapper or sportsperson. What they should have had was someone like McCartney or Wilco Johnson to remind people that sooner or later they won't be able to reform. Can you imagine them trying to make this show now. Reform S Club or Girls Aloud....and of course so many more people have died.

Great band. Need to hear them radio more.

Seeing them in concert soon, glad they sorted their differences out

Absolutely fantastic band. 😊

Come on guys just do it, what a great band, what a great it was for music. ( magic)

For all of the comments about it being a shame and name calling, you do realize that they have played together in recent years. The videos are on here.

Amazing band wrote so many classics

wow glen tillbrook drinks magic hat #9 just like me. ITS LIKE IM ONE OF THE STARS

Saw them last Saturday at Sign of The Times Festival .....they were absolutely brilliant

I saw them last night at Newcastle at maddness gig the moment they started i was hooked and they were fantastic

I saw Squeeze over the summer of 2021. Jools, Keith and Gilson weren't a part of the band, but that's fine. The guy who was playing the keyboards absolutely killed it for Slap and Tickle. I will say if they are capable of being a part of the band, I don't know what would hold them back since I'll say it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. The only ones missing out would be them.

The guys are absolutely brilliant

Saw them two nights ago, great show!

In their very early days I went to watch Squeeze at Dingwalls at Camden Lock, circa 1977, when they were still playing pubs. There were not many people in a fairly unresponsive audience - maybe 50. As Squeeze were finishing their set, a few people finally decided to show a bit of appreciation with a few whoops, claps and whistles. The band were not impressed. 'Yeah, whoo, whoo, you c***s. I've had more fun p***ing on people down the Kings Road,' was how Tillbrook put it, as they stormed off. They created some brilliant songs.

Took my wife to see squeeze last year, she is a lot younger than me and didn’t know the band, they was unbelievable…she said

For my money they were the #1 best band of the 1980's. On any shore.

They were, in fact, great!

The Prospect of Whitby in Wapping, east London. I think it used to be called The Town of Ramsgate and is reputed to be haunted by a Judge Jeffries. Last time I went there in 1991 I saw Suzi Quatro drinking in there with a friend. She looked at me and my ex and smiled as we were wearing leather jackets.

Good to see most of the bands featured in this series get back together for just one more gig. Sad that it was not to happen with Squeeze, obviously some of those old wounds run deep. Not surprising it was Holland, as he always was an odd duck ... like the time he got a colonoscopy on live UK Friday night TV.

I never thought it would happen ...

😥 Would have LOVED to have seen them back together!

Knew Jools would ruin it and he did.

Difford and Tillbrook were the Lennon and McCartney of the 80's!

Saw Squeeze last week. Fucking fantastic! No sir, we got you humor. We always got your humor! Better than ever!

Difford and Tilbrook formed a new version of Squeeze in 2007.

I’m sure Paul Carrack would have done it if they’d asked. It would have been nice to hear “Tempted” done properly.

Jools will regret his decision ....life is very short .....and cruel sometimes....this would have made a lot of people remember what is was to be like 20 something again.....which is what all us 50 year olds want more than cash money or gold.....how much would you pay to relive just one day 30 years ago ????? Yes life moves on very very quickly nowadays......grey hairs......wrinkles grow bigger....as do waistlines....friends are lost and gone forever.......squeeze were shit hot with tunes that stood the test of time.....defo goes into the ‘ it’s a crying shame’ folder of life......so many people loved squeeze.....a tour would have been sold out in minutes........there are a lot of older people with money to spend but it’s memories that last forever......written by a fat balding 50 year old who yearns for days gone by........even just one day.....peace and love to all.....

BR is a great concept but as you hear in most episodes, and if you've ever been in a serious band that's had some degree of success then broke up, it really is like a marriage or relationship. Multiple personalities, egos, clashes, and grievances come into play. It's not as simple as getting everyone onstage to jam. These band members have history with each other that isn't all peaches and cream. A lot of bruiser egos, slights, jealousies, and resentments. And that's just among the band's that do agree to reunite. Others have put their past behind them and moved onto bigger things and just won't do it.

And tonight.....Squeeze play The Subscription Rooms in Stroud UK - can't wait!

Chris D has a lovely voice.

Great band with a ton of great songs. 'Goodbye Girl' being different class.

forget jules then ....get paul carrack back in !

I miss shows like this

Poor Gilson, looks like he wanted to do it but he wouldn't without Jools. You really can't blame him, he was unceremoniously fired after a tour. Strange that Chris talked about Gil but Glenn did not.

Felt sorry for difford here. He's made mistakes in the past,and never had the opportunity to put them right. I thought Jools was too far up his own a--e.

Well said Jools some people are stuck in the past

Reunite without Jools

Squeeze the first cd I brought

Loved this band. Only saw them play live once at Blackheath at an anti-poll tax demonstration. Good times
