In 1983 I went to see Shakatak in concert at the King's Theatre in Southsea during the 'Invitations' tour. After the show I waited outside to get my programme signed by all the band. I remember Bill Sharpe saying to me that they would be on TV in a few days time on a programme called Off The Record. I videotaped the programme and fortunately kept hold of the tape. I've not seen this (41 year old!) recording anywhere else so I thought I'd upload it here. Enjoy!
Hermosa música, hermosas mujeres y la cerveza que estoy tomando 😮
What a great and unique upload and amazing quality too for something videotaped 40 plus years ago! 'Still going strong ' is their motto. Over the years I've seen them a number of times but over the last few years they've been playing at the Concorde Club at Eastleigh which isn't far as I live in Portsmouth. Amazing that this was at the king's in Southsea!
Many thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Just to clarify this wasn't recorded at the King's. Must check out the Concorde Club sometime. They really are superb live aren't they!
@@Pianokeys88 yeh, I don't know why I wrote that. Of course it wasn't! Shakatak are really good live and I thought the last one I went to at the Concorde was one of the best.
They have some good stuff there but they also have a lot of tribute acts that I'm not so keen on. It's interesting how musical tastes overlap. I'm also a big fan of Billy Mayerl and have many of the newer recordings from Eric Parkin and others. I also have a lot of his sheet music and used to play some of his music but over the last few years I developed Dupuytren's contracture so can't play anything now! Good job I wasn't playing for a living!
Best Performance I’ve ever seen from the Skaks, highlight Bill on the flute at 5:00 and steppin out live for the first time, thank you for this Gem
Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great live recording, thank you so much for sharing, one of the few live recordings before Jackie Rawe left the band - a shame night birds is cut short !
Great video - Never Seen this - Thank you for sharing. Good quality for a 41 year old video too!
Thanks very much!
Great Video of the Shaks and wonderful story of you. Thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
