They should have a hologram of Davy Jones just like they did with Tupac Shakur!
Really?!?!?!
I guess in the computer age those “Liquid Paper” royalties ain't exactly booming.
I’m a Nez fan too however he is a flaming, leftist elitist. Very active in....ummm ...Santa Fe , hoetey toetey scociety.
And how nice of him to join now that Davey is dead.
Maybe he has some regrets for not performing earlier.
That said Nez was incredible, way ahead of his time. His Video Ranch started out as a great idea but has fallen into self promotion.
Agreed. I see the show just to see Nesmith. I loved “Infinite Rider on the Big Dogma.”
One of the first groups that turned out to be media creations and frauds. Never liked them even after they finally learned how to play their instruments.
I don't know. I think that maybe before February might have been a better time.

I’d have to agree. A favorite from my youth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_pu6V6_BEA
A friend of mine dated Mickey and worked as a dancer on the TV show. She still sees these guys all the time and is really into that whole thing.
I suppose they’ll have a Hendrix reunion opening act...
A nationwide tv show.....millions of people listening to them on the radio.....selling records like crazy......
“We’re the young generation, and we’ve got something to say!”
This is it! The truth in a statement that will speak about our generation throughout eternity!
“Hey! Hey! We’re the monkeys!”
Yep, they nailed it with that one.....guess I’ll go eat a banana and swing in the trees.
I remember as a kid, running around the neighborhood on Halloween and trying to fill up my bag with candy as fast as I could so I could get back home in time to watch ‘The Monkees’. I still have my ‘Last Train to Clarksville’ 45.
Of course there was a Car.
I’d really like to see this. I was sorry I missed the last tour. I thought I’d seen them enough times (mostly with Nesmith), but when I realized how deep into their catalogue they were going for the sets, I regretted not having gone. This would be cool because no album or prior tour featured this configuration. There were two albums without Tork, one with just Dolenz and Jones, and one reunion album without Nesmith, but Dolenz-Tork-Nesmith will be a first.
You can call the Monkees a contrived, made for TV, Beatles rip off/spin off, designed to sponge off the suddenly materialized teeny-bopper crowd....and you would be pretty much right. But the songwriting was solid and for what they were, bubble-gum finger snappers, the songs hold up surprisingly well. I liked the days when good harmony, arrangement and background vocals were considered important.
Is this really necessary?
He took over for Jello Biafra when the Dead Kennedys reformed.
A few years ago, when the Herman's Hermits were going on tour without Peter Noone, there was discussion of using Davey Jones for vocals. It never happened but the idea was great. Maybe the three remaining Monkees should see if Peter Noone is available. (Guess not - I see that Peter Noone and the Herman's Hermits are on tour next month in Canada.)
