The T.A.M.I. Show is a 1964 concert film. It includes performances by numerous popular rock and roll and R&B musicians from the United States and England. It was written and directed by Steve Binder.
The concert took place at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on October 28 and 29, 1964. Jan and Dean emceed the event and performed its theme song, "Here They Come (From All Over the World)." Jack Nitzsche was the show's music director. The T.A.M.I. Show was recorded on videotape and transferred to kinescope film for theatrical release.
The acronym "T.A.M.I." was used ambiguously in the show's publicity to mean both Teenage Awards Music International and Teen Age Music International.
