tears of utter joy.....

It will be played at my funeral

Booker T. Jones: genius.

I inherited the vinyl of this from my dad, who was a huge fan. He even bought an organ so he could learn to play it just like Booker T.

Not forgetting the great Al Jackson!

To this day I love that album from the movie " Uptight". Every song on the album was all that. Thank you Booker T.

Oh im listening on a phone. Hey it sounds good, thank you for posting and sharing![

Love Booker but this makes you realize and appreciate how essential Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn were.

And dont forget Al Jackson on drums. The entire band was world-class!

I miss Time is tight 1970

One of my all time favorites!

Bravo!!

Too bad that Steve "The Colonel" Cropper and Donald "Duck" Dunn are missing. Great band. Loved them all! Rip Duck Dunn.

And Al Jackson Jr.!

Buy Booker T and the MG's boxed set, folks. It has the best live version of this ever recorded. This is NOTHING compared to what they did on the boxed set.

Nancy Faughnan I think he’s referring to the version on the box set called, actually, Time is Tight (www.amazon.com/dp/B00000C2PD/). But don’t be misled... that version is a 10 minute jam from the early ‘90s with Anton Fig on drums in place of the by-then deceased Al Jackson. It has nothing of the super tight, sparse feel of the original. It’s kind of like saying the version of “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” with Neil Young (!) on vocal that follows is better than the Otis Redding version... The set is also available on Spotify if you want to stream it.

Gold..

Love booker t & mgs grew up on them.

" The Good shit is the good shit, , No lumps on a dump. Pure natural process, Pull together when the time is tight. Tomorrow , will be, alright. God never lied to you when the truth is right.Shape up and do right. Bless you all. My friends

They never miss a beat! Right up there with the best!!

Time is Tight was always one of my favorite jams. Man I would of loved to be there for this jam session!! I would of paid the concert fare. Booker T. was tight....The Man was a genius. Hip-Hug-her , Melting Pot, Green Onions, Hang em High, Groovin were just some of his all time hits..Thanks for the post. I loved it .

awesome love it one of my instrumental I used to play at school and still play today :-):-):-):-):-)

this warms my soul

Tengo 56 años y llevo escuchando este tema desde que tenía 10. Groovy

since nearly fifty years my favorite title in my ears...

I saw him perform a couple months ago with the same guitarist. OMG best performance I've ever seen.

Great version. Timeless instrumental. Brilliant.

Great video. Thanks a lot.

That ending was the original ending. The shortened version was for radio play - only 2 minute radio plays in those days.

always worth listening to, very good, i like it!!

The drummer is great. Setting the groove.

Respect everyone or you prize will just fly away.

Love it love it love it.

That Was Whicked !!! Great Sound !! Yeahh!

Respect Everyone.

Do you know you talk in your sleep?

stumbled across this and though, my that guy's well rehearsed, he plays it just like Booker-T himself. Then realised.

BadBad Bad to the Bone!!!!

kick ass

The song ending as recorded was enough; didn't need th extended amendment.

Hot!

way cool

Where is the bloke with the Telecaster, you know, whatsisname, Steve Cropper…

Same bassline from Otis cant turn you loose,😎

Veron Ice Black is the man!

Miss Steve Cropper & Donald Dunn on this version.

Or your true prize will fly away. Correcting my mistake on fools corruptions

Most definitely is "Time Is Tight"! That dude is right its not time is thight.

Bring the Keys forward???? Too low after the intro. Oh well. Great Band!!!!

lead guitar player is playing 08 strings.. tinny and soft. Not a good choice to replace Steve Cropper.

+David Zimmerman For the un-initiated what are 08 strings and what do you think that he should have been using?

They are a light gauge set of strings on the Stratocaster he's playing, (myself I'd put nothing lighter than a set of 9's on a Strat but that's my preference) To try and get closer to Steve's sound I would use a Telecaster.
