In 1964, the biggest names in rock 'n' roll, pop and soul gather at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium for a concert. A packed house of teenagers goes wild for Chuck Berry, who opens the show with one of his best-known songs, "Maybelline." From there, the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, Marvin Gaye and many others perform their hits from the era. This concert is especially notable for including the first televised performance by James Brown.

The T.A.M.I. Show turns fifty this year, though its unsurpassed exuberance, not just onstage but also off it, assures that it will remain forever young.

This is the very first rock and roll concert. Lesley Gore had just had five top ten smashes in the U.S. and was on her way to her 6th ("Maybe I Know") and was the hottest property on the billing and was given the most songs. Her performance was outstanding, especially with the dominant "You Don't Own Me" which had topped the charts for a month earlier that year. Most all performances were good, though, although the Rolling Stones, Smokey Robinson, Chuck Berry, and Lesley Gore were the highlights.
