This release, the full show, includes the Beach Boys segment, which was edited from VHS versions.

Greatest live footage of the early Beach Boys I have ever seen. Dennis rocks !!

I'll be buying that, not for The Beach Boys though, already have that show it came with the Sounds Of Summer comp

By the way-I mentioned in an article I wrote for ESQ that not everyone got a chance to see- I found articles from the early 70s that show that was when the BBs footage was edited out.  The BBs footage was in there when the film was shown in the 60s but in 1973 D Clark bought the rights and he couldn't get the BBs to agree to his deal-so he excised their footage for the re-release.  I assume that he wanted them to take very little (considering there low commercial standing in 1973) and they balked.   I know that when the BBs filmed it in 1964 they recieved top billing and got paid about 50, 000- a lot more than the Stones-who were not as well known in the states (pre-Satisfaction).  The show was rehearsed on Oct 28 and filmed on Oct 29.

It's one of the top ten all time rock concerts period.

Wow, always wanted to see that. The line-up is like a hall of fame. I'm presuming this'll be released in the UK too?!

I have a boot version of this and am looking forward to a legitimate, *clean* release.  Not 14 versions down the trail.

After Jan & Deans' opening gambit you get the Barbarians.  Then, I think, it's Leslie Gore.  But the reason I sought out this concert is third.  James Brown.  Anyone over 30 has heard that he was "the hardest working man in Show Business".  by God, if you don't think the same after seeing this then...

I've seen 51 BB shows since July of 1964.  I've seen Brian 8 times.  I saw Al Jardine Family and Friends (when that was still their name) once.  But the two times I saw James Brown in the summers of 1967 and 1968 (at the Tulsa Civic Center) were the best two concerts I've ever seen in my Life.

In this 19 minute part of the show, and if you've never seen James (which is probably most of you, at least when he was in his peak) he will seem 'corny'.  But...

He won/wins you over in a live concert.  He JUST KEEPS DOING WHAT HE DOES!!  It's shortened in the T.A.M.I. Show (what he would do in concert) but after awhile, even if you thought he was just a...I dunno what; something, by the 17th time he would fall on his knees during "Prisoner Of Love" or "Please, Please, Please" (or whatever) he just foda won you over.

I had won tickets through a radio station in Tulsa (KAKC) for my first show in the summer of 1967.  I was in the second row.. Looking left and right to the people around me they were all white and, obviously also had a radio station connections or were given free tickets in some way, shape or form.  They were not JB fans, per se.
 
Essentially, they all had their arms folded, leaning back in their chairs trying to be cool, when James first came on stage.

By the (nearly) end of the show...3:45 mins later these same people were sitting on the edge of their seats totally enthralled with what they were seeing.  It was amazing to see!  All these rich white kids who were too 'hip' for James Brown & The Famous Flames being totally caught up in his performance.  Hardest working Man in Show Business?  Absolutely!!  

As stated, the best two concerts I've ever seen in my Life.  Get the T.A.M.I. show just to see James, if nothing else.  Most of us have the four songs by The Beach Boys on "Sounds and Sights of Summer".

BTW, reportedly, The Rolling Stones, who followed James and were the fourth act on the bill, were devastated by what they had just seen.  It was a case of "There's no way that anything we do will match up with what we just saw".  I don't know if THAT aspect of the concert is true but I've heard that.  More than twice.

Complete boot versions of this show have been around for years with everything unfolding just as above, including the BB's set, which was restored by using Sights and Sounds of Summer. MY best copy of TAMI which i acquired several years ago is real good quality. I'm hoping this new version being offered is from a recently discovered 1st gen. 35mm master that surfaced a couple years back...then we'd be getting the absolute pristine quality. But...I have a feeling its not if Shout Factory is not mentioning that in their promotions. Anyway, its one of the best shows ever and if you have a messed up copy like Greg's or don't have one at all you should buy this version.

Hello Jon -- Apparently I have a messed up copy because the order of the first four acts, on the DVD I have, is exactly as I stated.  Barbarians, Leslie Gore, James followed by the Rolling Stones. 

I'm looking forward to seeing the show as it was shown originally!

The Jan & Dean intro of James Brown and His Famous Flames is hilarious . . . Dean dowses Jan with a fire extinguisher.

Director Steve Binder sent me one of his copies a few years ago.

Yeah that is funny. I have a copy from a cable tv airing in the 80's. I think it was on the USA network
