Negative Positive
Title: The T.A.M.I. Show
Review: This is a live show that was taped in 1964. When you think anout 1964, you know that was a pivotal year. The President of the U S was killed the year before, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which would escalate the Vietnam war, was just unfolding. We would lose Sam Cooke in 1964. With that historical context, you can enjoy this performance for its role in entertainment where race did not really matter. Even though this was taped during the height of the civil rights movement, the crowd was mixed and allowed to intermingle. The bands and recordings are tight and well preserved. No doubt James Brown is the hightlight, however, all entertainers were at the top of their game. Marvin Gaye is good to look at, being so young. Same is true for The Miracles and Smokey Robinson. This is a DVD you want to have in your collection. I am glad the wait is over!!
