Ray Charles, the Ronettes and Ike and Tina, although the Lovin' Spoonful put on a good show and Roger Miller was pretty entertaining, despite being a novelty act, the oddity in the mix. Phil Spector makes a cameo as piano player for Joan Baez's execrable version of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." I think the night belonged to the R&B acts on the bill. Visible in the audience are apparently several current and future rock personalities, including Sky Saxon of the Seeds, Frank Zappa, and the two brothers who formed Sparks in the '80s.
On the other hand, you do get to see some people showing their boredom, some little kid plugging his ears, an elderly couple wondering "why are we here" and teenage boys getting annoyed at the overzealousness of girls behind them. At one point, the Lovin' Spoonful make a false start on "Do You Believe In Magic?" and the girls they show start laughing louder when the camera hits them. As for the screaming teenagers, some of the screaming and laughter seems to be rather forced.
I watched the "Big TNT Show" on AMC the other night and Joan Baez, Pet Clark and even Donovan were pretty much slow points in an otherwise great rock flick. Besides the TV episode in video form, there is also reported a two minute B&W promo reel which shows FZ in the crowd. Patrick Neveįilmed at The Moulin Rouge club in Los Angeles, sometime in 1966. Shot on tape, transferred to film footage reused in THAT WAS ROCK. SHOW casts a wider musical net, with lesser results, but Diddley, Tina Turner, and Ronnie Spector keep it pumping.
