ROLLING STONE magazine called this, "The most significant rock film ever made", and I have to say that I completely agree with them.

I won't be redundant and reiterate what the esteemed reviewer has said. It's all that and better. And when you stop to consider this was originally done in 1964 - that just proves right there that the Sixties were the best, most musically prolific decade of the last millenium.

Boy oh boy, do I remember this one. We didn't know what we were about to see when we went to the movie theater to see the T.A.M.I. show. There was Marvin, there were the Supremes, there was Smokey and the Miracles doing that crazy monkey routine and then there was James Brown. And then, we saw the beginning of a phenomenon the Rolling Stones. We didn't know. But, there was something about these guys. All we could say is 'Not Bad'.
