Loading ...The hardest working man in show business, for your viewing and listening pleasure. From the 1964 T.A.M.I. show.
Sorry, the LTE form is closed at this time.
 | Happy Birthday, Uncle Sam! My Dad used to say that the summer was "half shot" on the 4th of July. I never could figure that out -- we had only been out of school a month and had two months of summer vacation left. I notice, though, that the Twins have played 81 games. Maybe that's what he was talking about. As I have documented several times before, I went to my first professional baseball game on July 4, 1973. It was a glorious night with 49,000 people crammed into the ballpark and fireworks afterward. Do you remember your first game? What's on your mind today? 2 LTEs Horrified that the Best GM in all of Sports is your avatar? Go here to set up an account and right the wrong that has been done unto you!

This may be a silly question, but what is or was the T.A.M.I. show?

A 1964 concert film featuring: Marvin Gaye, Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson, The Rolling Stones, and The Beach Boys, among others.

Keef acts like that's the only time they ever got blown off the stage. Anyone who has seen Rock and Roll Circus knows otherwise. I'd say the biggest mistake of Richards' career was getting caught with 22 grams of heroin at his Toronto hotel in '77.

Yep, Jethro Tull positively owned that show.
