Pleasant Surprise With Expected Greatness
by VegasJoe on 10/17/23Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort - Las VegasComing in to the show, we knew of Squeeze, the band. I thought I knew the ‘popular’ songs. But, Squeeze was seemingly relentless with one good song after the next. A few times, I said to myself, “I didn’t know they sand THIS song!” while other times I was saying, “I FORGOT they sang this song!” The sound was really good, the tempo was upbeat (mostly) and the band were just so much FUN to watch and enjoy! Of course, The Psychedelic Furs didn’t disappoint in ANY way. They played all of the greats and played them as I hoped they would; precise and with enthusiasm. Richard Butler is so incredibly animated during the show. The band mates all play ‘to the crowd’ by singing straight into the multiple cell phones being held up by concertgoers. All along, the entertainment they provided was passed only by how good they sounded together. Having Squeeze make impromptu appearances towards the end of The Psychedelic Furs’ set was really fun. Both bands came out on stage at the very, very end to share one big ovation … absolutely brilliant! Good venue … my first time at The Pearl in Las Vegas. Access to drinks/toilets was fast and simple from all levels of the theater (4 floors?).
