stands for "Teenage Awards Music International" and that was one of my favorite parts. I have seen the whole show a few times, a true time capsule full of diversity. To me Jaggers point's are valid: it wasn't a one act after the other show and the theatre was cleared between most but not all acts. I don't think his ego was too bruised after all the early British bands were just copying black American Blues and R&B bands. Jagger even tries to dance like James.
All that said one of the totally coolest ever things seen live on a stage in the second half of the 20th century is James Brown's stage entrance on the T.A.M.I. show. He is a one of a kind American icon. He was the best act to me in terms of stage presence, individual talent and overcoming things to get there but you can't discount the several other great acts in the show,which I don't think you did.

Sorry for the misspelling. I saw the movie once decades ago but have seen the JB clip and the Stones clip many times and no I would never discount any of the other acts on the show. The great thing about the T.A.M.I. show was the diversity as you mentioned and I didn't know it was shot the way Jagger describes. I sure wouldn't have wanted the task of telling Mr. Brown that he was not closing the show. One clip in the documentary I don't believe I have seen was JB's appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show and Ed's look of disbelief as he told him what a great star he was.
