I was there! October 1964 - this film version was released in December 1964. I was really disappointed that they didn't film it in color. I was 17 then, a senior at Artesia High School. It was awesome!
Wow how did they do this? I understand it was filmed at SMCC. How did they advertise this? How did the kids hear about it? How long was the filming? Just in one day?
@@johnned4848 I heard about it on KFWB and KRLA Radio in September 1964, and I went to Wallich's Music City in Lakewood and bought my $5.00 ticket at their ticket office there, which became known as Ticketron in the late 1960s. I met my friend Mark Groseclose there in the will-call ticket line for prepaid ticket holders. He was the substitute drummer for the Beach Boys, and a friend of Dennis Wilson at Hawthorne High. Mark got me a backstage pass and I got to meet the BBs backstage and Jan & Dean. They were all hanging out back there with other artists going in and out. It was magical. I hope someday they can colorize this film so it looks the way I remember it. I was in the front on the right side of the rollout stage.
If I had a time machine, first up on my agenda would be these five musical events: Vienna, 1824, a nearly deaf Beethoven premiering his 9th symphony; Paris, 1913, the premiere of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring with Debussy and Ravel in attendance, and the hoity toity of Paris rioting over the pagan cacophony (as they saw it); Toronto (my hometown, but before I was born), 1953, Parker, Dizzy, Mingus, Powell, Roach - Jazz at Massey Hall; Santa Monica, 1964, T.A.M.I. (I envy you!); and finally, Monterey Pop Festival, 1967, for all the obvious reasons. Any other historical event I would want to witness with my time machine, and there are plenty, takes a back seat to these live musical milestones.
This show has so many giant stars from the 60s doing all live performances. I've done professional video production for 27 years.The TV production of this show is so cutting edge for 1964. This show was way ahead of its time.
@@kentayers4578 It is amazing the results they got with primitive audio and video equipment. Of course, in their day, the equipment was state of the art.
I love the way they held the cameras on the people or a shot for a long time so I could study the faces and the instruments as well as the dancers. Today they jump around so quick all it is a blur with no time to look at things for a while. Great close ups on faces and expressions too!
@@CHRnorton Years ago before the "MTV style" became the norm, they would hold shots longer and give you a chance to really enjoy the content.

Just found out about this gem today, reading about it in Robby Krieger’s 2021 book, Set the Night on Fire. He did say that James Brown outshined everyone.
This James performance was true THEATER. I don't think he ever had a show that was this multifaceted and stunning. I think the time limit made everything more focused and concentrated, unlike regular concerts. It's truly phenomenal.
What a fantastic show! This concert had such an abundance of great acts, Rock & Roll, Soul, Motown. The historical significance of this show can’t be overstated. The Rolling Stones, Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, Chuck Berry, and on and on! So much talent on one show! It’s also sad, I’m sure Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens would’ve been there had they lived. The Big Bopper probably would’ve moved strictly to radio by that point. Any fan of good music should see this, it’s pretty epic.
Yes, she was perfect in her performance and also in record sessions she got a good timing too. m.ruclips.net/video/1NJkZc9UV5g/видео.html&pp=ygUTTGVzbGV5IEdvcmUgZGV1dHNjaA%3D%3D
Yeah. The talent, the bands, the dancing, the production are ALL just very well done. The nostalgia component also adds to it. I doubt that today's scene could bring everyone together as this extraordinary show did.
Right before James Brown's epic performance, is another significant moment in rock history: The Barbarians playing "Hey Little Bird" which represents the earliest example of what later became known as "garage" or punk rock. This pre-dates better known examples like ? and the Mysterions, the Seeds, and the Count Five, and influenced thousands of local garage bands around the country.
Actually, the song was garbage, there group had no hit records at this point and and was a quartet of incompetents who had no business being on the same stage with all those professional performers. According to the text provided with the DVD, their appearance was the result of some political maneuvering by someone in the production management who was associated with the group.
Never heard of the Barbarians .One hit wonders that really didn't belong on this show. Probably a fill in time group. I was 15 in 1964 and listened to radio alot daily. I don't think The Barbarians ever made it on Top 40 AM radiio in midwest/Indiana/Chicago.
@@onestepbeyond7240 Forward I imagine . That’s where the time goes . But a show like this winds the clock backwards so the contrast in time is startling .

Thank You Brandon.Nichols for this breakdown of performances chart ! It makes things so much easier to find my favorite acts !! You should have got thousands of thank you's as it is a nice thing to do for everyone !!
Love the stones, the Beatles, the beach boys e.t.c., Motown, Orbison, e.t.c., I was born in 1968, but love the people of 1964, the t.a.m.i program, just blew me away. Also love elvis, holly, and Perkins from the fiftees
I saw that too! Classic! I absolutely love The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Pet Sounds, etc., however they really should’ve ditched the striped shirts, I believe that really affected their image, even in 1964, and why they continued to wear them into 1966 I don’t know. Also you’ll notice at the end of the show, all the stars have changed into their street clothes, but yet The Beach Boys are still wearing the striped shirts. I love all of them but ugh! JMO
It's as if I had died, gone to heaven, and St. Peter says, "hey, if you hurry, there is a groovy shindig happening on Cloud 9.....". Seriously, a dream lineup - and preserved so well in Electronovision.
There will never be another exciting time for Rock and Roll as it was in the early 1960s. It was truly an amazing Era to have witnessed such great music. This audience says it all.
I saw this at my local movie theater. I was 14. Had the album to this magnificent show. I believe its packed up somewhere ! Great memories great music my generation had the best music !
Unbelievable nostalgic gem!!!! Thanks RUclips for putting this on my sign in page today. I never knew this series existed even though I was 13 years old at the time. All the groups were young, fresh, and energetic. Check Berry was already a legend. And the Stones were total energetic rock and roll. James Brown was crazy
@@timtonner946 There's quite a mistake in the introsong of the show (sung by Jan and Dean). They are singing that the Stones are from "Liverpool"😱 (somewhere between 3:30 - 3:50)
I read your comment before the second act was over and by the time the Beach Boys, Leslie Gore, the Miracles, the Supremes, James Brown and the Rolling Stones finished my mind was blown! You are correct that sadly this could never happen today. What a great time capsule.
@@rayjr62 I don't think it was about money. Had the Beatles been in the lineup, none of the other artists would have mattered, not one including James Brown, Beach Boys, Wrecking Crew. The Beatles wouldn't have needed the WC to back them at all. They had been honing their sound 7 years prior to 1964. And of course, no one would have heard a thing. Remember Ii was in Feb 64 the Beatles were seen on the Ed Sullivan show for the first time and mania just kept increasing. Even James Brown would have become insignificant. That is just how it was in 1964. I am not trying to diminish the groups that played, I loved them all. I just know they would not have gotten seen and remembered sharing a stage with The Beatles. BTW did anyone hear the great guitar tones no mattered who was playing. Pedals and effects outside of reverb and tremolo were not close to mainstream then. Also, If anyone knows who was playing guitar during the finale please let me know who that was. It was not the performers and probably someone in the Crew. All I can say is what they were doing was way ahead of anything heard at the time. Also wonder if Carol Kaye was playing bass. If you've not heard of her, look her up. Peace all.
I used to play "How Do You Do It?" by Jerry and the Pacemakers on my neighbor's little portable record player, among lots of other 45's when I was a child. My siblings and some of my neighbors would all gather together just to enjoy the beautiful, fun music. We were all just little kids way back then. Time surely flies, and all that's left is memories!!! 🎶♥️🎶
A LITTLE KNOWN FACT ON CHUCK BERRY WAS THAT RIGHT BEFORE START TIME HE HELD OUT TGE PRODUCERS FOR 10,000 DOLLARS OR WOULD NOT GO ON. HE DID GET THE MONEY AND WENT ON BUT THAT HOLD UP PRODUCERS NON SENSE KILLED HIM FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND EVEN ED SULLIVAN WOULD NOT BOOK HIM.
I remember reading an interview Mick Jagger did years ago where he talked about this show- Mick said that both he and his bandmates were scared shitless about having to go on after James Brown. "How do we follow that?" Mick said to Keith as they were standing back stage.
Note The Barbarians and the guitarist's Gretsch Corvette. I had one until Richard Manual of The Band accidentally broke it. I hear my buddy Ollie Mitchell playing background tracks for this TAMI Show. RIP, Ollie. James Brown's 'Please, Please, Please' is the pop song performance masterpiece of all time.
This is REALLY something ... what a magnificent piece of pop culture and musical history ! Captured forever for all to enjoy again and again ! This is one to show your children and Grandchildren.
Teri Garr is one of the dancers. At 1:10:14 she's standing directly behind Diana Ross wearing a sweater with concentric circles. As the song progresses she moves closer to the camera to where she's recognizable.
This is utterly fantastic. What makes it really outstanding (apart from the brilliant performances) is the sound. Really 'full' and 'rocking'. The only slight disappointment is that I suspect the original show was filmed in 4:3, and that they've cut off the tops and bottom of the screen image to make it widescreen. But I'd say this may be the best concert ever recorded. Astonishingly good. Thrilled to have discovered this.
When you have a production involving Dave Hassinger, Jack Nitsche, and music by Phil Sloan you have great combination of behind the scenes talent.. Jan and Dean Perfect. The first 4 plus minutes are classic and perfect. It's just hard growing up in the creative 60's to not be unimpressed and bored with todays generation of music. Thanks very much for sharing.
Probably everybody already knows this, but Keith Richards is reported to have said that the worst mistake the Stones ever made was following James Brown at this concert.
According to Bill Wyman, before the show James Brown told the Stones he was going to make them wish they had never, ever come to America. But after the show Brown congratulated them and they got along after that.
But the Rolling Stones were sort of at a different angle to Rhythm & Blues! Yes, JB & Flames burned it down, then the Stones tore the place up in their own way... & still do the same in 2024. Stones were Dangerous then & Dangerous now! Just check out Keith & Charlie workin' on it!
B Nurr. That's why you shouldn't drink when you watch TV cuz you forget what you saw and drinking any kind of liquor will kill your liver even beer and wine will kill it it's all the same crap! Now what I drink is a fruit and vegetable drink has over 80 fruits and vegetables in it and it makes you healthy and gives you a natural high that's very good for you keeps you in good spirits keeps you from getting depressed it makes you feel good inside! Almost maybe even better than shot of dope!
Showmanship at its finest! Such wonderful music,must have been an amazing time to be young. Artists today, could never compare with the likes of ALL these legends. Absolutely amazing piece of music history.
I grew up on all of this music. When I was in prep school, 19 1964, all this music "The British Invasion ." Mowtown. The Beach Boys, I heard all of this groundbreaking music for te very first time. So not did I only get and education?? ad school; I got an education in music, that I have use for over 50 years.
i believed were two mixers one for the PA system for the fans inside the venue ,and other one to the TV console, the EQ sound was perfect, the TV resolution perfect, the music ,the choreography, the scenery design perfect...what a Gem of show of the shows with famous recording artists
I remember going to see this at atheatre in my home town... St Louis . When I was 14. I'm now 74. What memories! Greatest music ever. Loved that ti.e in my life.
That's a good song. Freddy the drummer (Gerry's brother) became a driving instructor when he was older and gave me lessons. He had some great stories about the old days. He said the band played an all-dayer at the Harlem Apollo on the same bill as James Brown, The Supremes etc, several sets throughout the day/night. I'm guessing it was the same tour as this TAMI Show. He said the early sets went well with a college audience but as the sun went down and the crowd got blacker everyone got impatient for James Brown and there was little appetite for Merseybeat! He knew it was time to leave the stage when as the bottles rained down one hit him directly between the snare and hi-hat so to speak. I understand he passed away a few years back but he was a lovely fella, good story-teller and I did pass my driving test!
What if this awesome show had also included Jackie Wilson, Rick Nelson, Brook Benton, Ben E. King, The Drifters, The Temptations, The Everly Brothers, Little Richard, Connie Francis, Jimmy Clanton, Sam Cooke, Paul Anka, Carla Thomas, Del Shannon, Frank Ifield, Tony Hill and The Platters, Johnny Tillotson, Sam and Dave, Bobby Vee, Bobby Rydell, Gene Pitney, "Fats" Domino, Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, The Beatles, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley? 💥😮🥵🤠😃🤩 🤪🫡😍🤑😺💥 From a 78 year old who got chills when James Brown did all of those jaw-dropping splits!🙏👍🙏 Jan Berry was probably the most drop-dead, gorgeous looking "teen idol" of that era. I lived through all of it.💎🎶💎
Fantastic film and performances!! Such a rich sound of American and UK legends. The Miracles are ultra-cool, The Supremes gorgeous, the Beach Boys showcase thier classic sound and James Brown gives 500%, capped off with The Rolling Stones!!!! The final shot with all of them on stage dancing and having fun is perfect!!
ZIALANDER63. Did you see the funny black guy fall on the ground and have a fit when he was dancing to Smokey Robinson over here I mean that was ridiculous I never seen something so stupid in my whole life! He's falling down like he was going through withdrawals on drugs and dancing to a song!
@@imanshumpert2724 What about the beach for a number where the female dancer is on top of the guys shoulders, (53:27) they are on the top support. Think about that, if she would've slipped, it would not have been pretty.
I'm a older DOO-WOP and Soul fan, but the 1960's was maybe the most wonderful time for choices of music during my lifetime. Radio stations that once played only certain genre's of music had to make changes to their programming style as newer stations were popping up everywhere. Hand held transistor radios hit most markets by the mid to late 50's, and everybody seemed to have one to welcome into the 60's. And almost all of this was mostly on AM broadcasts...few people even knew what FM was. You could clearly hear the words to the songs without wondering it's true meaning. Teens didn't classify any of this music as black or white...nobody cared, it was all just good. By the later 60's and into the 70's, we had another "change of the guard" in music, so to speak, and suddenly the simplicity was over. I wish my kids and grandkids had a chance to experience those early times of 1960's music. I've done my best to expose them to it, but I guess if you weren't around then you'll never fully appreciate how magical it was for all of us lucky ones !
Its actually nice to hear talent,no auto tune,no midi,no drum machines,no computers sequencers,No FX,no tablets,no fruit phones just raw sound of talented musiciations something I think this generation's need to look back at and see how its done. I missed the the early sixties,i'm from late sixties and Im 5o this week and great to be able to see all this stuff I missed great stuff thanks for posting up here! Looks like some of the fashion styles are back in again! Top Vid! Rob
~ Mick Jagger (NOT from Liverpool), was dispirited as he had to follow James Brown (omg). This show was featured in the 2014 James Brown biopic, Get On Up. High school David Cassidy in the audience? Toni Basil & Teri Garr as go-go dancers! What a classic film that came waaaayyyy before MTV! R.I.P., Chuck Berry, James Brown, Wm. JAN Berry, Marvin Gaye, Lesley Gore, Dennis Wilson, Brian Jones, Florence Ballard. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
Funny thing is that I saw a you tube video last night on Teri Garr’s life. One scene was of her dancing past the Supremes. I noticed how hard she was trying; putting everything into her performance. I didn’t realize this was the show she was in. However, it was her totally committed performance that made me immediately pick her out in this video. A truly dedicated artist. R.I.P. Teri.
An insanely great show at an insanely great moment in American popular music. Makes you wonder if something like this could ever come back. I guess not. What a shame. Everyone experiencing this moment in time was lucky.
Out of all the performers who gave a great show...James Brown & The Famous Flames..best of all. Smokey & The Miracles with Bobby Rogers shaking that conk comes in second.
This show must be unique - it is the greatest parade of big names singing live I have ever seen! Just you when think it can’t get any better - along comes the Supremes to blow your mind with their sheer perfection! But it could be the last act which most sends the girls in the audience into wild frenzied hysterics from which some of them may never have recovered, a performance which, even today, if you’re a lover of 60s music, is guaranteed to send shivers down your spine!
hello. i took guitar lessons for several years from a man named horace hatchett in long beach; he briefly taught carol kay, who became the bass player in the wrecking crew. long long time ago.
This was a two-night event, October 28 and 29, 1964, and according to Wikipedia, "The best footage from the two concert dates was combined into the film."
Any one who says Brian Wilson wasn't a musical genius just watch their set!!! These guys were just kids and the songs and arrangements are incredible!!!
I was a freshman at school in Boston. It was released to theatre's that late fall I enjoyed it so much I saw it twice. I now have the expanded DVD in 5.1 "surround sound". As an ex lead guitar player in a HS band, I was especially impressed with all the talent playing live and without gimmicks.
This show truly amazed me... mainly Lesley Gore...she could sing and I noticed all her songs had a edgy, almost bitter story line....for a lack of better words... she's singing about equality, and the freedom to do as she pleases to her Man in 1963 ....way ahead of the women's fight for equal rights!!! I found tht very interesting and enlightening. Also the the Beach Boys ....Killed‼️‼️‼️‼️ Very Impressed by their overall performance....I was surprised that Smokey's voice didn't hold up well at the end... but they blew the roof off the building....The entire show was phenomenal....and I ESPECIALLY appreciate how they introduce CHUCK BERRY.... 🗣️"WE'RE IT AT ALL STARTED" ‼️‼️‼️‼️

It’s also sad, I’m sure Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens would’ve been there had they lived. The Big Bopper probably would’ve moved strictly to radio by that point. Any fan of good music should see this, it’s pretty epic.
Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Dave Clark Five, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, the Herman's Hermits, the Left Bank, Nancy Sinatra, etc
I can’t believe I have not run across this until now . Incredible. I tell everyone 63-64 was the pinnacle, the absolute limit.
I was only 5 but had a crush on these” girls”
Leslie Gore gets top honors her live vocals are untouchable
She was so young! she have that impact and glow, outstanding ❤. What a legacy.
@@MaybeIKnow80 Gore had six songs in this show, more than anyone except the Stones (also six).
@@robmclean4352 justice for Lesley! she should have more recognition. She is just great!
Yes, she was perfect in her performance and also in record sessions she got a good timing too.

Amazing
One of the greatest concert films ever. Maybe the best.
Yeah. The talent, the bands, the dancing, the production are ALL just very well done. The nostalgia component also adds to it. I doubt that today's scene could bring everyone together as this extraordinary show did.
James brown alone was just incredible. Your totally right one of the best concerts of all time.😊
Lipsync
@@nathandodge665 nope
@@mtmadigan82 yes Jan & dean and the supremes were lip syncing.
Right before James Brown's epic performance, is another significant moment in rock history: The Barbarians playing "Hey Little Bird" which represents the earliest example of what later became known as "garage" or punk rock. This pre-dates better known examples like ? and the Mysterions, the Seeds, and the Count Five, and influenced thousands of local garage bands around the country.
Moulty could drum better with one hand than most could with both!
Actually, the song was garbage, there group had no hit records at this point and and was a quartet of incompetents who had no business being on the same stage with all those professional performers. According to the text provided with the DVD, their appearance was the result of some political maneuvering by someone in the production management who was associated with the group.
@@allenkracalik7662 ...so all the qualities that make garage so great! 😅
@@allenkracalik7662 Oooh . . . let's hear YOUR song from 1964. I'm sure it was AWESOME . . .
Never heard of the Barbarians .One hit wonders that really didn't belong on this show. Probably a fill in time group. I was 15 in 1964 and listened to radio alot daily. I don't think The Barbarians ever made it on Top 40 AM radiio in midwest/Indiana/Chicago.
I thank God that is the era I grew up in.
It's unbelievable now that most everyone are gone and we're old now..... Where does the time go ?

This comment should get pinned
Love the stones, the Beatles, the beach boys e.t.c., Motown, Orbison, e.t.c., I was born in 1968, but love the people of 1964, the t.a.m.i program, just blew me away. Also love elvis, holly, and Perkins from the fiftees
Check out Leon Russell on piano and Teri Garr dancing!
And Hal Blaine on drums.
29:34 Oh Man. Darlene Love and the Blossoms backing up Marvin Gaye. Amazing.
Who wants to go back in a “time machine” ??? WONDERFUL DAYS
If you’re white 😅
Absolutely! Please Lord send me back in time. ( I was 5) but even at that young age I knew it was a special time.
And the dancers , oh my
There are those times in history when all the tumblers click into place. This is one of those times
Dennis Wilson flying through the scene during the Stones live just made my day!!
I saw that too! Classic! I absolutely love The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Pet Sounds, etc., however they really should’ve ditched the striped shirts, I believe that really affected their image, even in 1964, and why they continued to wear them into 1966 I don’t know. Also you’ll notice at the end of the show, all the stars have changed into their street clothes, but yet The Beach Boys are still wearing the striped shirts. I love all of them but ugh! JMO
@@Johnny7051MCTheir 1st band name was Pendletones, and they wore Pendleton wool shirts, the finest shirt made IMO.
When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around...
Right? Doesn’t quite feel right watching it here on RUclips, I should be popping into the VCR, same tape I’ve had for years.
It's as if I had died, gone to heaven, and St. Peter says, "hey, if you hurry, there is a groovy shindig happening on Cloud 9.....". Seriously, a dream lineup - and preserved so well in Electronovision.
British Invasion! 1964, so many great groups, these guys were up there for sure, RIP Gerry Marsden
You couldn't get that many legendary acts on the same program today...almost all are rock and roll hall of famers!!!
Alex Rhem 7 of the 12 acts that appeared in this movie, are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Nigdy nie widziałem tego koncertu. Wspaniały.
Wykonawcy jeszcze tacy młodzi.
I wonder if those kids knew how lucky they were. All these performers are legendary. And Leslie Gore had an AMAZING voice.
Yeah outstanding performance by her 👏👏👏
And a great and persistently rising message.
There will never be another exciting time for Rock and Roll as it was in the early 1960s. It was truly an amazing Era to have witnessed such great music. This audience says it all.
What about rock and roll in the 50s?
wow what a voice Gerry has, he's also very funny when he chats to the audience, great talent
I saw this at my local movie theater. I was 14. Had the album to this magnificent show. I believe its packed up somewhere ! Great memories great music my generation had the best music !
The BeachBoys always a favorite. Saw them live in 1968 on the STEEL Pier in Atlantic City
Unbelievable nostalgic gem!!!! Thanks RUclips for putting this on my sign in page today. I never knew this series existed even though I was 13 years old at the time. All the groups were young, fresh, and energetic. Check Berry was already a legend. And the Stones were total energetic rock and roll. James Brown was crazy
That fog when Leslis walks out makes the whole live production that much more wonderful.
James Brown KILLED it ... what a showman ... man oh man .. did he own that stage !!!!
...and stole the whole show! The Stones were reportedly trying to beg off following him while he created such pandemonium!
@@allenkracalik7662 the Stones legend🤟🤟🤟
@@allenkracalik7662 I don't blame them, James was fire 🔥
Is there a Set list of James songs they played that night ? ?
Looks like j brown hurt himself during the flopping around splits etc, but kept going
I was 14 years old when I saw the show.I'm from santa monica california and I got to see the show. Had a great time.With a great memory.
Were you there?
When I think about The Rolling Stones throughout their never-ending career, this is my favorite period. The early Stones are just SO great to watch...
@@timtonner946 There's quite a mistake in the introsong of the show (sung by Jan and Dean). They are singing that the Stones are from "Liverpool"😱 (somewhere between 3:30 - 3:50)
The Beach Boys' set drove the studio audience crazy!
Still watching them sing Surfer Girl brings tears to my eyes. Youth, love, and the beach. It was my wedding song.
This could never happen with today's musicians. Too many egos. Look at their faces. They love what they are doing.......This is GREAT!!
I read your comment before the second act was over and by the time the Beach Boys, Leslie Gore, the Miracles, the Supremes, James Brown and the Rolling Stones finished my mind was blown! You are correct that sadly this could never happen today. What a great time capsule.
The Beatles wouldn't do this show even though they had been asked to perform. I guess there was an issue of money.
they actually had talent
Aristocob Same!
@@rayjr62 I don't think it was about money. Had the Beatles been in the lineup, none of the other artists would have mattered, not one including James Brown, Beach Boys, Wrecking Crew. The Beatles wouldn't have needed the WC to back them at all. They had been honing their sound 7 years prior to 1964. And of course, no one would have heard a thing. Remember Ii was in Feb 64 the Beatles were seen on the Ed Sullivan show for the first time and mania just kept increasing. Even James Brown would have become insignificant. That is just how it was in 1964. I am not trying to diminish the groups that played, I loved them all. I just know they would not have gotten seen and remembered sharing a stage with The Beatles. BTW did anyone hear the great guitar tones no mattered who was playing. Pedals and effects outside of reverb and tremolo were not close to mainstream then. Also, If anyone knows who was playing guitar during the finale please let me know who that was. It was not the performers and probably someone in the Crew. All I can say is what they were doing was way ahead of anything heard at the time. Also wonder if Carol Kaye was playing bass. If you've not heard of her, look her up. Peace all.
What a blast that must have been to live there at that time! The girls, the beach scene, custom cars and bikes, concerts. Wow!
Ever since I was aware that Terri Garr was one of the dancers. You can't not see her. My God she on that stage alot. Wow!!! She probably got paid $10.
I used to play "How Do You Do It?" by Jerry and the Pacemakers on my neighbor's little portable record player, among lots of other 45's when I was a child. My siblings and some of my neighbors would all gather together just to enjoy the beautiful, fun music. We were all just little kids way back then. Time surely flies, and all that's left is memories!!! 🎶♥️🎶
I find it funny that Chuck Berry and The Beach Boys are in the same show together because of Surfin USA and Sweet Little 16
A LITTLE KNOWN FACT ON CHUCK BERRY WAS THAT RIGHT BEFORE START TIME HE HELD OUT TGE PRODUCERS FOR 10,000 DOLLARS OR WOULD NOT GO ON. HE DID GET THE MONEY AND WENT ON BUT THAT HOLD UP PRODUCERS NON SENSE KILLED HIM FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND EVEN ED SULLIVAN WOULD NOT BOOK HIM.
james brown and the famous flames tore that house down!!! The G.O.A.T.
marcus rodgers Yes yes YES!
I remember reading an interview Mick Jagger did years ago where he talked about this show- Mick said that both he and his bandmates were scared shitless about having to go on after James Brown. "How do we follow that?" Mick said to Keith as they were standing back stage.
THATS A FACT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
James Brown and Beach Boys single handily responsible for all the wet panties that night
@@sr0242 G.O.A.T. = Greatest Of All Time. good grief.
Note The Barbarians and the guitarist's Gretsch Corvette. I had one until Richard Manual of The Band accidentally broke it. I hear my buddy Ollie Mitchell playing background tracks for this TAMI Show. RIP, Ollie. James Brown's 'Please, Please, Please' is the pop song performance masterpiece of all time.
This is REALLY something ... what a magnificent piece of pop culture and musical history ! Captured forever for all to enjoy again and again ! This is one to show your children and Grandchildren.
Teri Garr is one of the dancers. At 1:10:14 she's standing directly behind Diana Ross wearing a sweater with concentric circles. As the song progresses she moves closer to the camera to where she's recognizable.
This is utterly fantastic. What makes it really outstanding (apart from the brilliant performances) is the sound. Really 'full' and 'rocking'. The only slight disappointment is that I suspect the original show was filmed in 4:3, and that they've cut off the tops and bottom of the screen image to make it widescreen. But I'd say this may be the best concert ever recorded. Astonishingly good. Thrilled to have discovered this.
When you have a production involving Dave Hassinger, Jack Nitsche, and music by Phil Sloan you have great combination of behind the scenes talent.. Jan and Dean Perfect. The first 4 plus minutes are classic and perfect. It's just hard growing up in the creative 60's to not be unimpressed and bored with todays generation of music. Thanks very much for sharing.
No lip syncing in that concert, true talent each & everyone of them. Just loved seeing The Supremes so young
Alot of lipsync
@@nathandodge665 - These were live performances in a concert format.
Probably everybody already knows this, but Keith Richards is reported to have said that the worst mistake the Stones ever made was following James Brown at this concert.
Yes, they felt that no matter how well they performed, they wouldn't be able to top him.
According to Bill Wyman, before the show James Brown told the Stones he was going to make them wish they had never, ever come to America. But after the show Brown congratulated them and they got along after that.
But the Rolling Stones were sort of at a different angle to Rhythm & Blues! Yes, JB & Flames burned it down, then the Stones tore the place up in their own way... & still do the same in 2024. Stones were Dangerous then & Dangerous now! Just check out Keith & Charlie workin' on it!
They were junior then. Still second bananas at best. This is where they started to rule the planet.
Yes.Its so obvious. Everybody left the shwo and the Rolling Stones broke up shortly after, never to heard from again.
What a show, lightning caught in bottle. Amazing talent, NEVER could have something that fresh today.
B Nurr. That's why you shouldn't drink when you watch TV cuz you forget what you saw and drinking any kind of liquor will kill your liver even beer and wine will kill it it's all the same crap! Now what I drink is a fruit and vegetable drink has over 80 fruits and vegetables in it and it makes you healthy and gives you a natural high that's very good for you keeps you in good spirits keeps you from getting depressed it makes you feel good inside! Almost maybe even better than shot of dope!

Happy and sad watching this. So happy to see it. To hear it. So sad its gone.
I grew up on all of this music. When I was in prep school, 19 1964, all this music "The British Invasion ." Mowtown. The Beach Boys, I heard all of this groundbreaking music for te very first time. So not did I only get and education?? ad school; I got an education in music, that I have use for over 50 years.

i believed were two mixers one for the PA system for the fans inside the venue ,and other one to the TV console, the EQ sound was perfect, the TV resolution perfect, the music ,the choreography, the scenery design perfect...what a Gem of show of the shows with famous recording artists
I remember going to see this at atheatre in my home town... St Louis . When I was 14. I'm now 74. What memories! Greatest music ever. Loved that ti.e in my life.
Jerry and the Pacemakers, excellent especially 'Don't let the Sun catch you crying' 🙂
That's a good song. Freddy the drummer (Gerry's brother) became a driving instructor when he was older and gave me lessons. He had some great stories about the old days.
He said the band played an all-dayer at the Harlem Apollo on the same bill as James Brown, The Supremes etc, several sets throughout the day/night. I'm guessing it was the same tour as this TAMI Show.
He said the early sets went well with a college audience but as the sun went down and the crowd got blacker everyone got impatient for James Brown and there was little appetite for Merseybeat!
He knew it was time to leave the stage when as the bottles rained down one hit him directly between the snare and hi-hat so to speak.
I understand he passed away a few years back but he was a lovely fella, good story-teller and I did pass my driving test!
@@heyasasha omg. what a trip! It was gold, my friend. I would pay for some extra driving lessons. hahahaha
Gerry and the Pacemakers did an excellent job on this.
Great performers. Really tight.

Toni Basil with the choreography and the Barbarians! The Barbarians = The Ramones. All live music, no lip synching. What a great time in Rock history.
I'm a older DOO-WOP and Soul fan, but the 1960's was maybe the most wonderful time for choices of music during my lifetime. Radio stations that once played only certain genre's of music had to make changes to their programming style as newer stations were popping up everywhere. Hand held transistor radios hit most markets by the mid to late 50's, and everybody seemed to have one to welcome into the 60's. And almost all of this was mostly on AM broadcasts...few people even knew what FM was. You could clearly hear the words to the songs without wondering it's true meaning. Teens didn't classify any of this music as black or white...nobody cared, it was all just good. By the later 60's and into the 70's, we had another "change of the guard" in music, so to speak, and suddenly the simplicity was over. I wish my kids and grandkids had a chance to experience those early times of 1960's music. I've done my best to expose them to it, but I guess if you weren't around then you'll never fully appreciate how magical it was for all of us lucky ones !
3:13 Toni Basil ("Hey Mickey") merely assisting the choreographer...!
美しいハーモニー❤
She is one of the featured dancers as well.
Its actually nice to hear talent,no auto tune,no midi,no drum machines,no computers sequencers,No FX,no tablets,no fruit phones just raw sound of talented musiciations something I think this generation's need to look back at and see how its done.
I missed the the early sixties,i'm from late sixties and Im 5o this week and great to be able to see all this stuff I missed great stuff thanks for posting up here!

~ Mick Jagger (NOT from Liverpool), was dispirited as he had to follow James Brown (omg). This show was featured in the 2014 James Brown biopic, Get On Up. High school David Cassidy in the audience?

JAN Berry, Marvin Gaye, Lesley Gore, Dennis Wilson, Brian Jones, Florence Ballard. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
John Lennon thought that he and Paul spurred Jagger and Richards to write; I think following JB also had something to do with it.

Just saw the bass to the left, but mostly off the screen.
This is the greatest R&R concert in history.

TAMI was incredible. I do not think anyone could pull this off today. Glad it lives on in reruns here.
It lives on DVD too.
Ah, back in the day when you could have Lesley Gore and The Rolling Stones on the same billing...
Funny thing is that I saw a you tube video last night on Teri Garr’s life. One scene was of her dancing past the Supremes. I noticed how hard she was trying; putting everything into her performance. I didn’t realize this was the show she was in. However, it was her totally committed performance that made me immediately pick her out in this video. A truly dedicated artist. R.I.P. Teri.
An insanely great show at an insanely great moment in American popular music. Makes you wonder if something like this could ever come back. I guess not. What a shame. Everyone experiencing this moment in time was lucky.
Out of all the performers who gave a great show...James Brown & The Famous Flames..best of all. Smokey & The Miracles with Bobby Rogers shaking that conk comes in second.
The drummer is mind blowing
Gerry and the Pacemakers were great !
So many great artists all at once. We loved it. The 60s had so much. That darn Vietnam War spoiled everything.
I would pay a Million dollars to have had one of those seats! Historic Concert with all that Hall of Fame talent.

This show must be unique - it is the greatest parade of big names singing live I have ever seen!
Just you when think it can’t get any better - along comes the Supremes to blow your mind with their sheer perfection!
But it could be the last act which most sends the girls in the audience into wild frenzied hysterics from which some of them may never have recovered, a performance which, even today, if you’re a lover of 60s music, is guaranteed to send shivers down your spine!

This was a two-night event, October 28 and 29, 1964, and according to Wikipedia, "The best footage from the two concert dates was combined into the film."

Right you are. This is rivaled only by Monterey Pop. And both the bill of performers and the audience are integrated.
This show truly amazed me... mainly Lesley Gore...she could sing and I noticed all her songs had a edgy, almost bitter story line....for a lack of better words... she's singing about equality, and the freedom to do as she pleases to her Man in 1963 ....way ahead of the women's fight for equal rights!!! I found tht very interesting and enlightening. Also the the Beach Boys ....Killed‼️‼️‼️‼️ Very Impressed by their overall performance....I was surprised that Smokey's voice didn't hold up well at the end... but they blew the roof off the building....The entire show was phenomenal....and I ESPECIALLY appreciate how they introduce CHUCK BERRY.... 🗣️"WE'RE IT AT ALL STARTED" ‼️‼️‼️‼️
