The T.A.M.I. show with special guest, director Steve Binder

Veteran film and television producer, Steve Binder, will be at the Museum of Ventura County, June 3, to introduce a special showing of the legendary 1964 “T.A.M.I. Show,” the first concert movie in the rock era. The event takes place 7–9 p.m. in the Museum Pavilion, 100 Main Street, Ventura. Admission is $10 for members, $15 for non-members. A no host bar is available. Doors open at 6:00 pm.

The T.A.M.I Show, formally known as “Teenage Awards Music International,” was released in 1964 and contains the best footage from two days of concerts at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, featuring sets by James Brown and the Famous Flames, the Rolling Stones, the Supremes, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Jan & Dean, Marvin Gaye (backed by the Blossoms), Gerry & the Pacemakers, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Lesley Gore, the Barbarians, and Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas. The studio band is the Wrecking Crew.

The film’s director, Ventura County resident Steve Binder, will introduce his film and answer questions after the screening of the “T.A.M.I Show.” Binder also produced the shows “Hullabaloo,” “Elvis Presley’s 68 Comeback Special,” “Diana Ross in Central Park” and specials including those for Steve Allen, Chevy Chase, Barry Manilow, Mac Davis, Liza Minnelli, and Patti LaBelle.

Binder will also introduce and sign his newest book, “Fade Up: 26 The Movers and Shakers of Variety Television.”
