JAMES BROWN in the Tami Show 1964, Santa Monica, CA - with the Famous Flames, and the James Brown Orchestra.

[williamg2552]

JAMES was better when he sang with the FAMOUS FLAMES, than as a solo act. MUCH BETTER. THIS CLIP PROVES IT !!!

[fred19992010]

@williamg2552

Now what you doing back on here, William? I put up another posting of this, with better sound, on my IkeDyson channel. I'll send you it.

Hey, they took down my post of "Please Please Please" on the Ed Sullivan Show, but I'll re-post it on another channel, ans send ya that too!

[williamg2552]

@fred19992010 Hey Ike !! Why did you leave out "PRISONER OF LOVE" from the T.A.M.I. Show performance ?

[mrshad544]

As a white kid in Australia I used to envy Americans who could go and see James Brown,Otis,Wilson Pickett etc.Soul and funk is still my favourite music.

Was this appearance on the Nipsey Russell show in whicht Marva Whitney sang "It's my thing?"-Great show

[BuzCzar]

@ViciousMader I believe this is from the T.A.M.I. show at Santa Monica in 1964, Later released as a concert film.

[Rosemobile1]

If you didn't live in the 60's you haven't lived.

[TBConl]

I saw him in 1966, and again in 1998, 32 years later and he was better then ever. I miss you James. (one old white guy with soul.)

[aeberly1]

Fabulous, I saw him about 15 times between 1961 and 1969. Thanks so much for posting this, what a treat!

[bokachikero]

[PASTORKable]

[BlackSunshine441]

Ther is no descrtion because it can't be described

[ebf1957]

The T.A.M.I show, Monterey Pop Festival, and Woodstock were the perfect musical storm that defined 60's music and have never been duplicated. Every performer gave their all.

[washboardblues]

This performance is from the famous T.A.M.I. show that Sting mentioned in the Police song "When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best of What's Still Around."

[sexsavannah43]

They throwing down!

[11Kralle]

There will never be a drum-computer or a sequencer/loop-station with `Beat´!

[tarbhjohnnydick]

[tarbhjohnnydick]

It's not the singin'. It's how he does it. The showmanship.

[Oliver3863]

[srercrcr]

I watched all 14 minutes. I feel so fortunate to have lived when he lived.

[Flexman10]

[Flexman10]

i wonder what kind of shoes he's wearing...i want a pair :]

[leslieq14]

Just the best feeling to see this again---no one even comes close!

Love JB and the Flames....the band is so great. He paved the way!

[cw605]

I don't remmber that.

I remmember when the police arrested the Jefferson Airplane in kansas city for smoking on the stage.

[DAVET0NE]

im sooooo glad im seeing this right now! thank you to all who made this viewing possible

[briananah291]

this shit go way to hard in real words damn!!!

[cw605]

I always wondered what happened to the flames, did they get to old or did they retire get fired or what?

[cw605]

I saw JB in Kansas City in 1962, 1963 1964 and 1965 every time the crowd was bigger and the music was always GREAT. He was here always on Sunday night except one time on Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the post brought back great feelings.

[templeman4]

@cw605 Although I lived here in Kansas City, I never attended his concerts.  Do you recall when our city council representatives outlawed James Brown from performing in the old Municipal Auditorium? But no small change bureaucrat could stop the music of James and his red hot Flames band. Their popularity in Kansas City was unquestioned, and James Brown himself was worshipped by our crowd in Brookside.

[fred19992010]

@templeman4

James should have gone down to City Hall and kicked their behinds.

[williamg2552]

@templeman4 The Famous Flames are a singing group. The band is called The James Brown Band.

[musictelevision]

JB For Prez

[JH16]

Classic performance. He tore it down!

[JH16]

[cannedheat13]

[pghpa611]

Blow me Away

A amazing performer who gave his very best in every performance

An energy and talent that was truly God given

He came up in turbulant times filled with hatred and bigotry

But

Never succumbed to the oppression of the times

Ladies and Gentleman

JAMES BROWM

RIP

JAMES

[IkeDyson71]

@dmils233

To be honest, YouTube invariably remove this clip - so I did not give it its full title - TAMI Show.
