I actually remember that song; it was banned from radio, which, of course, made it a prime "get" for the young guys at the time...


I found this YT posting of the entire T.A.M.I. Show of 1964, T.A.M.I. standing for "Teen Age Music International"; the show was put together by a couple of guys, B-movie and TV producers, to cash in on the new music scene in the early to mid-190s; they also invented a new form of HD television that was years ahead of its time in the process, resulting in the very clear images of the performances...

This was Rock, Soul, and Pop, in its rawest form, just sort of 'plug it in and play', with none of the highly produced presentation seen on conventional mainstream TV shows; the show was shot at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, a place I've been to many times over the decades, and the audience was all teenagers and college kids; the performers seemed to feed off the energy of the crowd and really gave them a show...

A an interesting note: when Chuck Berry opens the show, on the right hand side of the screen, just above Chuck's left shoulder, is a blonde dancer in a sweatshirt and bikini bottoms; later in her her career, she would be a famous, Oscar-nominated actress; her name: Teri Garr...


About 30 years later, parts of the film were once used in a compilation film, hosted by Chuck Berry called "This Was Rock & Roll"; I saw the compilation in a theater when it first came out; at about 15:57 into the film, a very blessed dancer literally came bouncing into the frame (and, remember, the scene was being shown on a great big wide theater screen, so she was a very large presence) and there was an audible gasp for just about every male in the audience followed by the sound of them being punched in the arm or slapped by their female companions...

You all need a good movie for the weekend.

You want punk.....here you go

There's a film doing the rounds shot at the time by an ageing unemployed art student who got a government grant of a few grand to document "Urban Evolution" Nice money if you can get it , which has a bit of the Sydney punk scene from '79.

This clip, to "Who wants to march" by Rejex, was shown at the Civic hotel, I was there. I think Kaos/chaos were playing??? Great band they were.

If you point a camera at a bunch of guys/girls they're gonna act up and be stupid. Human nature. But it's good to see some familiar faces.
