In October 1964, the place to be if you were a teenager living in
Southern California, was the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium; if you were a
teenager from anywhere, in that heady year with the British invasion of
America in full swing, then it was still the place to be, if only you
could have somehow got there. On October 28, filming began on what has become known as the T.A.M.I. Show,
even the organizers couldn’t quite agree what it meant, their publicity
handouts had it as both the “Teenage Awards Music International” and
“Teen Age Music International”. No matter, T.A.M.I. will do and
for that Wednesday and Thursday in the autumn of ‘64, it was the hottest
ticket in town, although no one actually paid for one as they were
distributed to local high school students, for free. A
packed house of teenagers goes wild for Chuck Berry, who opens the show
with one of his best-known songs, "Maybelline." From there, the Beach
Boys, the Rolling Stones, Marvin Gaye and
many others perform their hits from the era. This concert is especially
notable for including the first televised performance by James Brown. Many soul artists featured alongside Mainstream legends.
