goodbye girl Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I don't think this has been posted yet but the Monkees are planning a fall tour. -With Mike Nesmith included and a tribute to Davy Jones. You can google it or check it out on pollstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Sort of ticks me off that all FOUR of them couldn't tour when they were all alive. I guess Davey's death got to Mike. He was always one of my favorites, and undoubtedly one of the most talented of the group, so will probably see the threesome when they hit my area. Still, makes you wonder what might have been...Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianchick Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 It doesn't 'tick' me off, but like you Bernie...it does make me wonder what 'might have been'.I love all the Monkees...but it just doesn't seem like the 'Monkees' without Davey...And I do beleive they are ending the tour in New York in December....

Tony Cartmill Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 If Mike is willing to join them NOW, WTF was he waiting for all these years? Did he and Davey have some kind of "GATW" riff-writing-dispute-personality-conflict that I didn't know about?Sheeeesh, Mike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy K. Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Actually, I was more concerned about Peter, having cancer and all.....and it was Davy that dies..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Saw this... and it was pretty good! Especially great was seeing Mike sing and play his tunes for the first time (for me, at least!)Davy was missed, of course, but they did pay a nice tribute to him during the show.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I saw the show when it came to Chicago a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, though the boys seemed to have a little tiff on stage when Mike was upset one of his guitars was out of tune and wanted to do "Papa Gene's Blues" a second time and actually left the stage for an uncomfortable few minutes when Micky and Peter said "no". Peter deflected it all when Mike returned with a "if we do the song list out of order, we may end up starting from the beginning again because of our advanced age", to the delight of the crowd.Initially, I said I wasn't going, because I was upset that they didn't do this with Davy while he was alive, but in the days before the show, I read several interviews with Micky that said they had planned on doing this tour with the four as a celebration of the 45th anniversary of "Headquarters", their first album without Don Kirshner and with them playing and writing songs on it. Then, I regretted not buying tickets to the sold out show, but oddly enough a day before the show, an old friend of mine dropped two tix into my lap that she couldn't use and refused to take money for them, so I went.Bernie, you, like me, had to have enjoyed all the deep cuts from the "Head" album.

Raspbernie Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Bernie, you, like me, had to have enjoyed all the deep cuts from the "Head" album. Ahhh, "The Porpoise Song"—always one of my favorites! And Mickey was in really fine voice for that one!Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
