COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Before Woodstock and Monterey Pop, there was the T.A.M.I. Show submitted by amy on January 3, 2011, 9:18pm If you're a fan of 1960s music, pop/rock history, and concert footage in particular, you definitely don't want to miss this one. Recorded in October 1964, the T.A.M.I. show includes 50 performances (edited to two hours) that encapsulated the effervescent mix of early 1960s pop and rock music, from west coast surfer to southern soul to east coast Brill Building and Motown. A dozen acts--blacks and whites; girl groups; jazz and funk; London Mod; and proto-garage rock bands--took the stage, including Lesley Gore, future rock-n-roll Hall-of-Famers Chuck Berry, Marvin Gaye, the Beach Boys, the Supremes, and Smokey Robinson. James Brown brought down the house with an electrifying performance and the Rolling Stones finish the show. The concert was mixed live, so there are no master tracks, no alternate takes, no overdubs, and no unused musical footage; what you hear is what the audience of 3,000 screaming teens heard. After a theatrical release at the end of 1964, the film got tied up in law suits and disappeared, becoming one of the most rare performance films of all time, showing up in edited bootleg versions, but unavailable in its remastered entirety--until now.
