LISTEN TO BOOMTOWN RADIO! “ALL the Music That Matters for the Generation That Created Rock 'n' Roll”

This Day in Rock History - Oct. 28th

1964: One of the legendary concerts in rock history took place on this day. Dubbed the Teen Age Music International or T.A.M.I. Show, the concert featured Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, James Brown, Lesley Gore, the Rolling Stones, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Supremes, Jan and Dean and Billy J. Kramer.

Tickets were given away for free (!) and the entire event was filmed. Stunningly, the film was an initial box office flop. Then, legal wrangling (mainly with the Beach Boys) kept the complete concert film from getting a decent home video release.

The complete film was finally released on home video in 2010 and is a “must-have” for any fan of the early days of rock music. Many consider James Brown’s performance to be amongst the best ever recorded. Also, if you watch the film closely, you will see a very young Teri Garr and Toni Basil shaking it up as background go-go dancers.
