The T.A.M.I Show

The Big T.N.T. Show is a 1965 concert film featuring performances by numerous popular rock and roll and R&B musicians from the United States and the United Kingdom. [1]

Contents

A sequel to the T.A.M.I. Show (1964), the film was directed by Larry Peerce and produced by Phil Spector. It was distributed by American International Pictures. [2]

Filming

The film was shot before a live audience at the Moulin Rouge club at 6230 Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles on November 29 and November 30, 1965. [1]

The Big T.N.T. Show was aimed at the teenage demographic and featured 3,000 teenagers in the audience. [3] "T.N.T." was an acronym for Tune 'n' Talent. [2] The film was a follow-up to the T.A.M.I. Show, which was released a year prior. "T.A.M.I." was an acronym for "Teenage Awards Music International." [2]

The concert was shot on videotape and transferred to 35-millimeter film. [4] [5] Director Larry Peerce used four television cameras to record the performances. Record producer Phil Spector was the producer and musical director. [1]

According to executive producer Henry G. Saperstein, 140 minutes of footage was shot, [1] but the film was cut down to 90 minutes for the theatrical release. [6] Each of the acts performed their set three times. [1]

Its pre-release title was This Could Be the Night—The Big T.N.T Show. [7] The film's theme song, "This Could Be the Night", was written by Harry Nilsson, produced by Phil Spector, and performed by the Modern Folk Quartet. [8]

Notable appearances

During the opening sequence of audience shots, Ron Mael and Russell Mael, who would later form the band Sparks can be seen at 4:44 and Sky Saxon, singer and frontman for The Seeds can be seen at 5:21. Frank Zappa appears very briefly in the movie at 6:30 as an audience member and can also be seen in the movie's trailer. Marilyn McCoo of the Fifth Dimension also appears as one of the backing singers during Ray Charles' performance. [9]

Release and reception

The Big T.N.T Show premiered in theaters in late December 1965. [10] [11] [12] [13] A general release date was initially planned for January 26, 1966. [1]

UPI Hollywood columnist Vernon Scott wrote that the "film is aimed solely at kids who buy recoding of the performers in the cast. It's a musical orgy for pubescent swingers." [2]
