It was still more than we wanted to pay, but we just paid $80 apiece to see Squeeze on their 50th anniversary tour and it was worth every penny. Squeeze is one of my all-time favorite bands and I have never seen them live before. They were close to as good as they were originally.

Boy George opened for them with no introduction and no name on the marquee. I had to look up who it was. Suddenly it made sense why there was this guy who alternated between bitching about the sound mix and talking about how amazing the 1980s was in between reggae songs opening for Squeeze. I could have lived without that. His hype man was good though. No idea why neither of them bothered to say who the front man for their band was though.

Anyway, Boy George aside, it was a great show and I do not regret it at all.
