The hosts of this massive show are the clown princes of rock n roll, Jan & Dean. We can forgive them (or rather songwriters PF Sloan and Steve Barri) their geographic slip as to The Stones hometown ("Those bad lookin' guys with the moppy long hair, The Rollin' Stones from Liverpool have gotta be there"). In '64 everyone English except Bonnie Prince Charlie seemed to be from the Merseyside.
In the early 80's I was listening to The Police sing "Turn on my VCR, same one I've had for years, James Brown The TAMI Show...When the world is runnin' down, you make the best of what's still around). I was thus inspired to follow Mr. Sumner's advice and seek electronovision illumination. How frustrated I was to discover that red tape had kept the film out of circulation for years. As a substitute "That Was Rock" hosted by Chuck Berry used some TAMI footage, but was missing most of the heart and soul of this teen classic. Director Steve Binder later directed Elvis Presley's NBC Singer Special (more commonly known as the 1968 comeback special). Find "The TAMI Show" if you can. Copies in circulation seem to omit The Beach Boys who apparently requested that they not be included in future editions in hopeful anticipation of their post-Smile non-candy stripe shirt persona.
