The Big T.N.T. Show is a 1966 concert film. Directed by Larry Peerce and distributed by American International Pictures, it includes performances by numerous popular rock and roll and R&B musicians from the United States and England.
A sequel to 1964's The T.A.M.I. Show,[1] and like it executive produced by Henry G. Saperstein,[2] The Big T.N.T. Show was likewise shot on videotape and transferred to 35-millimeter film.[1][3] Some footage from it was reused in the film That Was Rock[3] a.k.a. The T.A.M.I. / T.N.T. Show (1984).[4]
The concert was shot before a live audience at the Moulin Rouge club[5] in Los Angeles, California on November 29, 1965.[6] Its pre-release title was This Could Be the Night.[6] The film's theme song was called "This Could Be the Night", and was written by Harry Nilsson, produced by Phil Spector, and performed by The Modern Folk Quartet.[7]

Bruce Eder in Allmovie said, "The picture is a '60s pop-culture maven's dream -- but nowhere near as musically revelatory as the list of talent would lead one to expect".[8]
