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!

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 !
