The T.A.M.I. Show: Collector's Edition - DVD Trailer

[jdd47]

New Year's Eve of my senior year, December 31, 1964. It was the midnight show at the Salem Theater in Salem, IL, and a group of 8-10 of us went to see it. It Blew me away!

[IndianaParkWars]

I like the bouncing at 1:50

[elamite66]

I remember watching it on TV when I was I guess 14 or 15 It was great for the time that for sure although living in NY I saw James Brown at the Apollo and I saw the Who as second billing for Wislon Pickett and Cream unknown to me at the time as 3rd or 4th billing also Mitch Ryder shared the top star with Wilson Picked This was a Murray the K show in and old huge 1930 move theatre on the east side around 47th st The Who were already breaking guitars

[narta11]

TAMI is a real gem of rock n' roll history. It almost seems surreal at the end when all the performers are on stage together

[2SugarsPleeze]

Even back then American knowledge was VERY poor!

The Rolling Stones are NOT "Mersey Beat"!

That groan out the way, it do look a GREAT collection.

[stevemichaels2020]

Lesley Gore was TOPS in the TAMI Show! Even the commentary in the DVD states this.

[Khultan]

John Lennon?

[pvtpstr]

Chuck Berry is a god.

[breezeAngwin]

You can get this DVD on Netflix......digging it!

[elamite66]

what year was T.A.M.I. 1965? anyone know?

[rgarcia77]

@elamite66 I think it was 1964, but not sure, at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

[sunspot42]

@elamite66 It was recorded in October, 1964 and released in late December of that year.

[UNIVERSITYHI]

This looks pretty good. It was shot on some very high tech equipment for its day. There is a Wiki entry you can check out. Out of curiosity, I wonder why the Rolling Stones were attributed as a "Mersey Beat" group?

[tunanorth]

I was a kid working at my dad's store in Santa Monica when this happened, only about a 5 minute walk to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

My dad wouldn't let me go, and I'm still mad about it!

[williamg2552]

JAMES BROWN & THE FAMOUS FLAMES were the UNDISPUTED STARS of the TAMI SHOW !! they BLEW AWAY EVERYONE ELSE !!!

[FutureFrontLA]

this crowd was insane!

[Becky123190]

whats the name of the song in the trailler it sonds like beach boys

[mdumas43073]

@Becky123190 - The song is called "Here They Come (from All Over the World)", written especially for the film and performed by Jan & Dean.

[sydferret]

James was so damn exciting then, you see where Prince got his moves.

[mcwolf27]

I am old enough to have seen the TAMI movie at a Drive-In in 1965...in those days it took several months for movies to get to the drive-in. I had a new 1965 Mustang Convertable...and to make everyone really crazy, the sticker price (which I still have was $2,918.00

[harp1925]

During the intro song they sing the stones are comin from liverpool! LOL!

[Airsoftcleaner]

This was the forerunner to Monterey,Woodstock,Isle of Wight,Big Sur,Live Aid and every other big concert that came after it.

[shearn666]

that dancer at the end seems to have forgotten her dress.... lol

1964!! - they certainly were swinging times. Pity I was only 4...

[cocaac]

Woow... wanna see it ASAP

[BeachBoysGuy1]

This is the best. One thing : Why does the announcer say The Beach Boys sing "Surfin'USA, "I Get Around" and "Surfer Girl" ?  They also do " Dance, Dance, Dance" This ad says restored to full length. So are there all 4 BB songs or not on this DVD ? thanks

[allaboard70]

T.A.M.I. SHOW is finally out on DVD :-)

[isleyohio]

Just got mine today! Thank you, SHOUT! Factory - I'm just not worthy!

[arickett68]

I know they only show a condensed version on TV but the full show will be on the DVD I ordered - it was just the fact that I paid $90 (I know some of it is a subscription to the channel) but usually it means that the DVD is unavailable to the general public so was a little surprised to see it was on general sale already for a lot less!!

[rottenbuffalo]

I saw this during the summer of 1965 when it was released as a movie.

[ampaholics]

Don't know bout' you, but I was diggin the amps and the bikini. Especially the AC30's.

[jandean61]

JAN AND DEAN!

[bchbys]

They should be in the R/R hall of fame!

[yourtubesteak]

After having to live with bootlegs of this for 35 years, it will be great to have an official release of this. Much Music showed a real good quality letterboxed copy of this in the 80s, but this looks fantastic.

[conductorinblack]

@yourtubesteak I taped the version that appeared on Much Music (on Beta, @*#&!). That version ended with James Brown's godhead set. Sherman's burning down Atlanta was nuthin' compared to JB's scorching of the Santa Monica Civic. I'm amazed that the Stones' had the guts to go out and do their set, but they went out and did alright. This flick is the only thing on earth that ever convinced me I was born twenty years too late.

[NEXTGENSKYN]

omg lesley gore what a beauty ! :)

[stevemichaels2020]

The representative from New York City, is Lesley Gore now she sure looks pretty!

[elsaidst]

Aaaaah my youth.. lol

[koolbossjock]

It will be released the 23rd of this month.Amazon is taking pre orders at just 14 bux. I was heavy Metal before it was cool,I saw this movie at the Granada Theatre in Kansas City back in 64.James Brown still leaves me breathless today with this performance.Talk about entertainment.This is a Must have video.

[arickett68]

@koolbossjock I didn't realise that it was being released for sale - it was just shown on WNED-TV last night in their fundraising week and I ordered it for $90!!! thinking that would be the only way to get a copy !

[stevemichaels2020]

@arickett68 The PBS version shown on tv is not the complete TAMI Show. Most of the acts' performances were edited (cut out). The Collector's Edition being released today has the complete performances by the artists.

[wausauman]

the gogo dancers at 1:55 are knockouts, I like the one on the left, nice bounce

[NJHater]

@wausauman boing

[bjbhappy]

Sooooo Awesome!

James Brown reigns supreme :-)

[Hyemoonie]

I was there!!!

[motownmaniax]

You caught that ref about Lennon, too, jfab...lol. I bet the producers of the show would've killed to get the Beatles, but then again the venue would have been demolished by screaming fans before the concert even started. Still an amazing document of a seminal time in rock-pop history.

[aztiff]

My brother talked about this film all his life. He saw it in a movie theatre in Mississippi in 1964 or 5. Now it's back!!

[mcredbug]

FINALLY! Saw this the first time on Closed Circuit at the local the local theater. And "Mersey Beat" was a magazine in Liverpool.

[groovygirl23]

This is one of the best rock shows EVER!

(Hey, Mr. Announcer? The Stones aren't from anywhere NEAR the Mersey River! Just sayin'...)

[arickett68]

@groovygirl23 That's true - they're Londoners!!

[mdumas43073]

@groovygirl23 No kidding. It's also pronounced MERSEY beat, not "mercy" beat. Sheesh!

[musicofourheart]

The best concert evah! Finally available. Thank you Jesus

[revmonobrow]

@musicofourheart

Jesus hates rock'n'roll.

[Celamim]

Damn. The full concert, and in high enough resolution that I can actually see who's performing. Enough to retire my VHS copy. Even the James Brown cape stuff (cut from VHS version)!

[67kneil]

quite a swingin show daddyo
