Written by admin on April 23, 2010 – 9:33 pm -| Harley Payette reviews the long awaited T.A.M.I. Show DVD, which is one of the “must have” music DVDs of 2010. |
| When I bought Shout Factory’s first ever issue of the legendary lost concert film The TAMI Show, my night was shot. I spent two hours watching the movie. Then there were another two plus hours soaking up the special features and replaying favorite moments. Then there was the trip to my CD collection to revisit the original recordings of all the great hits I had heard in the show. |
