Love the Monkees. They were the first band that got me interested in music as a toddler. Paul Westerberg used to perform a great cover Daydream Believer in his live shows. This version is a bit rusty but the crowd is raucous and having a good time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFHghaktIno |
bummer. I did get to see Peter, Mickey, and Davey at a ’60s & ’70s show with the Grass rootds, herman Hermnits, and some other groups. not many if at all had ALL of the orig members. the back stories on the monkeys is rife with troubles. peter was the only one going in with any degree of musicianship.

Darn Childhood tv...for how short of a run it had, it sure played for many years as syndicated reruns. Interesting quote: "This is not a band," Tork once told the UK's Telegraph in 2016.. "It's an entertainment operation whose function is Monkee music," he told Britain's Telegraph newspaper during a Monkees' tour in 2016. "It took me a while to get to grips with that but what great music it turned out to be! And what a wild and wonderful trip it has taken us on! |
