MUSIC NEWS - Long in our vhs library, one of the rarest / coolest rock events ever captured on film, the 1964 concert known as The T.A.M.I. Show, that featuring 
performances by the Rolling Stones, James Brown, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, the Supremes, among others, will be released for the first time on dvd on March 23, 2010 (via Shout! Factory). The T.A.M.I. Show: Collector’s Edition will include new bonus features including new commentary by director Steve Binder, original T.A.M.I Show radio spots, and a 20-page booklet with liner notes and rare photos and memorabilia.
The T.A.M.I. Show was filmed live in 1964 at the Santa Monica Auditorium, a mere seven months after the Beatles appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and introduced the Swinging ’60s to the USA. The film has never been out on DVD, long discontinued on vhs, and hasn’t been seen in its entirety since it originally appeared in theaters, including its "world premiere" at 33 Los Angeles area theaters on November 14, 1964. This new video release has been mastered from a new High-Definition transfer and restored to its original length, this complete version features the Beach Boys performances that were removed shortly after the film’s initial theatrical run due to contractual issues.
The T.A.M.I. Show (added to the
Library of Congress's National Film Registry in 2006 )
is the first concert movie of the rock era, capturing such superstars as the Rolling Stones (with the late Brian Jones), James Brown, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Miracles (featuring Smokey Robinson), and many other Motown and British Invasion acts in their early prime. In addition to the five rock groups, all artists were backed by a band that we've now come to know as “the Wrecking Crew,” famed for playing on all the Phil Spector-produced hits, and included future stars Glen Campbell and Leon Russell among others. Fanita James, Jean King, and future solo star Darlene Love, billed as The Blossoms, provide backing vocals.
