Lehet, hogy hihetetlen és életszerűtlen, de ez a szám, a Time Is Tight, ötven évig masszívan bujkált zenei tudatomban. 1963 vagy 1964 évben, kisiskolásként néztem a falum kultúrházában rendezett, akkortájt divatos „Ki Mit Tud”-ot, melyre a környező falukból is jöttek aspiránsok. Érkezett egy szimpatikus, jól fésült fiatalokból álló zenekar, (a hosszú haj még rendőrileg üldözendő és társadalmilag elítélt volt) akik nagyon jól játszották a Time Is Tight -t. Olyan volt ez nekem, mintha ablak nyílt volna nagyvilágra. Továbbjutottak a döntőbe, így többször hallhattam ezt a zenét. Szerintem az első közéleti csalódásom volt, mikor nem ők nyerték a Ki Mit Tud-ot, hanem egy népi tánc együttes, gondolom magasabb kulturális és politikai szempontok miatt. Bár, nagy rádióhallgató voltam, (a ’60-as években ott és nekem, nem volt sok választásom) lehet, hogy tízszer sem hallottam ötven év alatt, mégis sokszor bujkált bennem néhány motívuma a Time Is Tight-nek. De szerencsére eljött TH-cam korszak és szerencsésen rábukkantam a számra. Ritka, hogy a valóság ugyanolyan szép, mint az emlék, de minden hangja ismerős és bennem élő, ennek a nagyszerű zenének. Köszönöm The Shadows !
I agree - I had an original red Strat back in the 1960s...it was a wonderful guitar to play. I've tried several since but somehow they don't compare.....
Aww the Dear Liverpool Empire,I haven't seen a gig there since 'Slade' in 1976' the loudest band I've ever seen it was terrifylingly loud.My Dad worked one of the spotlights way back in early 60s and loved it there!
Who can't agree with ahpollyolly? Not many realize that Hank Marvin, even with his lead tone that is coined as BASIC, has made a GREAT TRAIL BLAZE for many other aspiring guitarists to rise to their own outright fame like Brian May, Jan Akkerman, Pete Townshend, Mark Knopfler, Ritchie Blackmore, Tommy & Phil Emmanuel, and so many more to name......yeah dig into that SOULFUL INTRO that the band had rearranged!
These guys influenced so many players over the decades.... Hank is sometimes crtiticised for being 'basic' - but he has such feel and touch and of course brought us in the UK the first Fender Strat (through Cliff) .... Love the end sequence with Hank & Bruce side by side - red Strats ......pure rock n roll ....
The Shadows were the ultimate in electric guitar music elevating the electric guitar to greater heights. Unique. A tribute to Booker T and the MG's, with a superior intro, which Booker T and the MG's have adopted in live gigs. The Shadows made the record into a semi-comedy routine - unusual for them. Not called for. Time Is Tight - a slower later version of of Otis Redding's I Can't Turn You Loose.
absolutely great performance, harmonically, as point/counterpoint compositional contruction, last but not least, as acting show!; plus the bonus of some ironical nonverbals that reminds of the so much interesting and almost forgoten today shortfilm «Rythms and Greens».
Love this version. Hank is the best guitarist around. You could also check out The Marvingers here on YT - they are a very good Shadows tribute band from Sweden. Thanks for posting, Sirpeter1946! Annie :D
true but its hard to choose only 42 songs out of more then 700 played songs and a 45 year long career but time is tight is also one of my favorites and i truly too would have had it at final tour seen
True enough that there's no doubt about Booker T & the MGs' cover (WITH THE REAL B3 ORGAN SOUND man!) but the Shads did an obviously better justice to the song by throwing in a jazz blues intro - KUDOS to Hank and the Boys indeed :D
Where are Booker T and the Mg's now Copewood? Still touring to packed houses, and living off the royalties from bands that perform their songs, without nearly the feeling, because, well , they didnt have the talent or soul to WRITE them. Somehow, I cant see Boooker T covering "Dont Cry for me Argentina" in concert.
sorry lads - i've always loved the shads and always will, but this is just a fill tune, maybe they were short on songs to do! What happened to the Cminor and key change to F?
WOW
Wonderful version of a great tune by one of the finest instrumental groups of all time.
From a 72yo Aussie fan
Superb performance with the pianist - CLIFF HALL
yes,absolute funtastic

That intro - magnificent!
That sense of touch, unique.
Ich kenne diesen Song von Booker T & the MG`s seit langem. Diese Version von den Shadows ist absolut der Knaller! Hammer !!!!
I thank it,s the best of all their songs
You've Got Lov The Shadows I Just Wish I Was Old Enough To Go And See Them I Was Only 3 When This Show Was Done Back In 1989
I love this.It has more get up and go then the 1986 version and i love Hank's little boogie with Mark near the end.It is a great performance
simply great !! i was at Forest National concert , never never forget !! simply great
Willy
I saw them do this song live on stage in Oxford with Cliff Hall on keyboards
brilliant song, magnificent interpretation!.. evidently the shadows were and still are the best!!!
Love it, remember seeing this live in Manchester in 1990 at the tender age of 7!
tanks for these amazing videos
Aaaahahahaha! Love to see Hank, always playing about and having such fun!
This one is really funny! Thanks! And thanks Ernst for the tips!
For years I've been trying to find out the title of this piece. Thank you for uploading. Shadows are fantastic!!
Un esibizione perfetto , per un show , anche se la melodia meno si sente, ma molto divertente.
Bravo , Hank Marvin con quei passetti da pinguino.!!!
Brian May, Eric Clapton Joe Walsh etc were some of the many guitar heroes that Hank and Bruce have played a huge part in their lives
I agree - I had an original red Strat back in the 1960s...it was a wonderful guitar to play. I've tried several since but somehow they don't compare.....

Man they were one of the all time best instramentalist, 4 stars for uploading
i love the way Hank and Mark have a little boogie between 3.59-4.02.A great performance as usual by the shads
Love this song and the way the Shads perform is great

I personally own an identical version of his guitar, from the period. There is nothing in the world like that to play on.
the best instro group of all time
Genius
The best cover version ever it rocks.
Its very good
When I hear this I think 'Blues Brothers'!
Love this version. Hank is the best guitarist around. You could also check out The Marvingers here on YT - they are a very good Shadows tribute band from Sweden.

Annie :D
Hank Marvin is God!
Yes, funny, and (for me) one of the best moments on that tour. They should play this on Final Tour
true but its hard to choose only 42 songs out of more then 700 played songs and a 45 year long career
but time is tight is also one of my favorites
and i truly too would have had it at final tour seen
I think it was on their 25th Aniversary Album, I saw them at a club in Winsor and they said it would only be on there
@mickjamm
This version is made for fan. This is for comedy moment on tours (but they made great intro to compensate)
Does anyone know the DVD that this clip came from,as I've seen other clips on TH-cam that appear to be from the same one and I'd like to buy it.
True enough that there's no doubt about Booker T & the MGs' cover (WITH THE REAL B3 ORGAN SOUND man!) but the Shads did an obviously better justice to the song by throwing in a jazz blues intro - KUDOS to Hank and the Boys indeed :D
Booker T. Would be proud of.them playing this
great job, like the comady parts
@foesracing39
I think you mean on The Shads live'86
Right behind The Ventures as the BEST !
Very Funny -- Long time Favorite.....
I wish they had kept the Hammond B3 .... the tone is just so much better ...

nagyon jo még akkor is ha csak feldolgozás
You can tell who influenced Mark Knopfler right here :-)
was first covered by booker t and the mgs in 1969.
Where are Booker T and the Mg's now Copewood? Still touring to packed houses, and living off the royalties from bands that perform their songs, without nearly the feeling, because, well , they didnt have the talent or soul to WRITE them. Somehow, I cant see Boooker T covering "Dont Cry for me Argentina" in concert.
Does anyone know if there's a TABS to play that solo from about 2:50 to about 3:30
Fairly serious and then starts to get fun XD
i only see this because of that intro
sorry lads - i've always loved the shads and always will, but this is just a fill tune, maybe they were short on songs to do! What happened to the Cminor and key change to F?
The Shadows can play any style, i mean blues they hardly play and it is like they have always played.
What about the size of his talent?..
Gurdian angle plus
Do not make fun of Booker T & the MG:s
