James Brown Concert Movies There are tons of concert film things available on amazon etc.., but does anyone want to know what the best one out there is? I really would like to see something that captures how amazing a live performer James was in his prime if such a thing exists. | |

James Brown's performance set in the first rock concert movie "The T.A.M.I. Show" has to be a consideration.
(Out Of Sight, Prisoner Of Love, Please Please Please, Night Train) 
The T.A.M.I. Show - (Teen-Age Music International Show) http://www.thevideobeat.c...ow_dvd.htm But don't take my word for it... Legends are made of this! The TAMI Show is a legendary contribution to the early madness that was the British Invasion and the legendary Soul movement led by James Brown and the Motown stars The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. James Brown's upstaging of the Rolling Stones in this film is the stuff of legends (indeed, no man could take him off that stage alive), not to mention Marvin Gaye bringing down the house. http://www.loc.gov/rr/mop...rrent.html In 1965, during THE T.A.M.I. SHOW in Santa Monica, James Brown performed before the Rolling Stones. Of their respective performances, music historian Nelson George, observed:"Mick Jagger jiggled across the stage doing his lame funky chicken after James Brown's incredible camel-walking, proto-moon-walking, athletically daring performance." http://www.pbs.org/wnet/a...own_j.html Closing the show is a veritable "Battle of the Bands" between two of the most exciting stage acts in rock history, James Brown and his Famous Flames (Brown's dancing still inspires awe nearly 40 years later), and The Rolling Stones (who look young and green, but are already blessed with a near-deadly charisma). Regarded by many aficionados as one of the very best rock and roll movies ever made (despite a video transfer that's not quite up contemporary technical standards)... http://movies2.nytimes.co...v_id=48291 Such eminence allowed Brown a new manoeuvrability. Dissatisfied with his record label King, he ignored contractual niceties and signed with Smash Records. By the time his former outlet had secured an injunction, 'Out Of Sight' had become another national hit. More importantly, however, the single marked the beginning of a leaner, tighter sound that would ultimately discard accepted western notions of harmony and structure. This innovative mid-60s period is captured on film in his electrifying performance on the TAMI Show. http://members.tripod.com...Brown.html In fact, his now famous performance at the TAMI Show was enough to make the act on after him--the Rolling Stones--shake in their boots. http://www.eonline.com/Ce...tar/Brown/ But the real reason to watch T.A.M.I. is the show-stopping James Brown. Accompanied by the Famous Flames, Brown gives a performance that proves once and for all he was the greatest showman in the history of modern music. And in what may be the biggest faux pas in rock history, the Rolling Stones attempt to follow Brown's performance. For all their dynamic presence, in Brown's make the Stones look like pathetic wannabes. Guitarist Keith Richards has said that the biggest mistake of their career was following James Brown at the concert. http://www.wweek.com/stor...story=3137 A film of the event, known as The T.A.M.I. Show, became a teen sensation in worldwide movie theaters with Mr. Brown, by all accounts, stealing the film and permanently cementing his nickname as "the hardest working man in show business." http://augustachronicle.c...odes.shtml “The T.A.M.I. Show” was filmed at the 1964 Teenage Awards Music International and features vintage footage of the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Chuck Berry and more. The highlight is the obvious nervousness of the young Rolling Stones when they realize they have to go on after James Brown’s showstopping performance. http://www.portlandtribun...i?id=13801 James Brown. His slot in 1964 concert film The TAMI Show "may be the single greatest rock 'n' roll performance ever captured on film." (American Records' Rick Rubin) http://www.usatoday.com/l...tals_x.htm This performance has even been immortalized in song: Turn on my V.C.R. Same one I've had for years James Brown on the T.A.M.I. show Same tape I've had for years When The World Is Running Down - The Police Btw, there's a Washington D.C. showing of this film at the Mary Pickford Theatre at 7pm on Friday Oct. 1st. http://www.loc.gov/rr/mop...kford.html For commentary on other available James Brown videos: http://members.aol.com/st...ideos3.htm tA  Tribal Disorder
