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.

Cool

That sounds great! One of the finest early Stones live examples. Wish they could get their hands on the original board tapes and give it a remix without so much of the crowd screaming.(although I dont blame them!)

I've been hearing this has been coming out for years
I'll believe it when I see it

Great performance, 'audience control' by Mick etc - show it to somebody who doesn't like the Stones. He/she will be impressed at least.

great news, can't wait!

Whoopee! I have one of the unofficial DVD versions but a proper one would be wonderful.

If you look at the guitar work in these old videos, Keith is doing all the little blues licks and all the solos, while Brian´s playing simple barre chords through all the songs. I haven´t really thought about that before, it´s sort of strange. Was Brian such a limited guitarist, or was there some other reason for this?

this is playback of the show..(recorded the day before)

sorry !

Maybe I am getting old, but whatever you want to call "I'm Alright", it certainly doesn't qualify as music.

The T.A.M.I.-show is rocking!

>> this is playback of the show..(recorded the day before) <<

i don't think it is, actually - i know nzentgraf has it that way, but he's the only source i've seen who does.

Part of it, including the full Stones performance exists on this (region 2) DVD [www.play.com] . Don't know if it is available now, I got this 5 years ago

I wanted to check before posting, but I also own this DVD

Thank you for these great great clips..YES ---I'm Alright is music and its GREAT MUSIC.
Fun to see and hear why they were and still are the best of all time!

I guess it depends what your definition of "music" is.

Most of the parts of the TAMI show (including The Rolling Stones) were released on this DVD 5 years ago :

Watching those clips once again, I need to say that perhaps those are the best captured Rolling Stones live moments ever. The essential Stones.

First of all, the camera-work is so beautiful - the way they go around the guys - especially behind them and show how they work and communicate with the crowd - that's incredible. Compared to great footage in the late-60's-early 70's they usually just concentrate on Mick's face and movements; now all of them - at least three on the front - get quite big share of it - which doesn't make the charisma and role of Jagger any smaller - quite contrary. It might took until Scorcese's movie that the band is treated with such a private contact.

Secondly, the way the band plays! Oh my god what an energy and vitality. It's us 'the five of us against the rest of teh world' -attitude. They work together so well. What a unit! None of them plays with any technical excellence, but everyone does exactly the right thing what is needed to make the whole thing swing! The most naked moment of that unique Rolling Stones philosophy is "I'm Allright"; just listening the beginning of it; Bill and Charlie lay the foundation and the groove, Keith plays the few-note theme, and Brian hits funky nasty barre chords to make funkier.. then Mick screams "Aaaammallrighht"... The whole song is an attack to audience, rawest rock'n'roll ever done ("we just make noise but I'm glad if you call it music" or how Mick once described it). They might have found some artistic heights in the years to go by, and maestros like M. Taylor onboard, but shit, THIS is the Stones as what is truely is all about. Even today, when they try to reduce the band into five-piece-unit, and play like they used to be, this is the actual reference what they think of how they are like, and what makes them unique.

Thirdly, Jagger... this gives an explanation why Mick Jagger was the most charismatic rock star of the 60's. His act hasn't dated one inch... the attitude, the charisma, the arrogance, rawness, naturalness, sexiness... what a performer! (even in the context of his own band: Keith is just an enthuastic boy rocking wild, and Brian tries a bit too much to look cool...). Jagger might have learned some few more tricks along the years to go by, but he never turned out to be more convincing then he is there... in fact, the years seem to treat very tenderly Jagger's early filmed moments (contra some of his later doings).

I could go on, but I shut up instead and watch those clips one more time!!!

How much?

Doxa really well put...I agree 100% with you.. Looking at Mick back then makes me think how he has really just stayed the same..
And i also agree that it has to be one of the very best clips of the entire band..They just did the best job ever capturing the sprite of each band member and not just Mick...
This is why i love the Stones so much and why this has to be the best line up...Young and raw and exciting. Just before they became the Gods of Rock!

A better title for "I'm Alright" would have been "Let's Just Jump Up and Down and Go Crazy".

The Rolling Stones very rarely played live for filmed performances . . mainly lip synching after Aftermath.

The TAMI Show was the most exciting performance (and my own personal favorite) of the original lineup. The whole band was 'on' for this show. Not just musically, but performance wise. What a show! And I agree, the camera work was outstanding throughout the show. The shot from behing during "It's All Over Now" and the way the camera follows Mick along the edge of the stage during "I'm Allright" were great. I thought Mick, Keith and Brian put on a great show. I never get sick of watching this footage.

I've heard someone say this was a playback once before. I completely disagree. This is 100% live.
