    • Trivia
      "T.A.M.I" stands for "Teenage Awards Music International". The idea of the film was to combine top American and British Invasion groups in one show.
    • Goofs
      The opening song makes two factual errors. First, its mentioned that Chuck Berry will perform "Memphis", which he does not do in this show. The second error refers to the Rolling Stones as being from Liverpool, when they are actually from London.

      [first lines]

      Announcer: And now, Electronovision presents your hosts for 'Command Performance'. Two of America's most exciting young stars - Jan and Dean!

      Dean Torrence: Hi.

      Jan Berry: We'd like to start it off tonight with a fantastic act. The guy who started it all back in 1958: Chuck Berry!

      Chuck Berry: [singing] Way down in Louisiana close to New Orleans, Way back up in the woods among the evergreeens, There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood, Where lives a country boy named Johnny B. Goode, Who never ever learned to read or write so well, But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell, Go-go! Go, Johnny, go! Go...

    Best rock and Roll show ever

    I saw this film in La Crosse, Wisconsin with my twin sister and best friend when we were 13/14 years old. We wore our Beatle hats and matching coats and screamed all the way through the movie which was filmed in black and white. For years I searched for the music for this show - found the theme for the show done on a CD by Jan and Dean called "Command Performance". One great memory but why isn't this available for purchase?
