During the VHS era, there was never an authorized home video release of "T.A.M.I. Show" in its full, original cut, although bootlegs abounded. Most of the bootlegs were missing the Beach Boys' performance. The Beach Boys had been deleted from all prints made after the movie's initial theatrical run because of a copyright dispute. Selected numbers from the "T.A.M.I. Show" were edited together with performances from another concert film by the same producers, "The Big T.N.T. Show", to create a hybrid work called "That Was Rock". This film did receive a home video release from Media Home Entertainment's music division, Music Media, in 1984. It was felt that the film was unlikely to be released due to the cost of obtaining the publishing and performance rights to the extensive lineup of artists. (All of the four Beach Boys songs from the show eventually surfaced on DVD in "Sights and Sounds of Summer", a special CD/DVD edition of "".)
