While he does seem to have lost a good deal of upper range & also appears to be an off-night, there is another factor at play here, IMO. The person who recorded this was right on top of Micky's vocal monitor. It never sounds as good/the same as the full range of speakers that all the music/vocals are going out into the audience. I know this from past experience when I used to record a DOORS tribute band. You can hear this same song recorded from further back & sounds totally different/better. I also compared it to some concerts of his from a few weeks earlier. MUCH better vocals, albeit not that of a younger Micky. At nearly 80 years of age, I think he sounds pretty darn good.
@@tvtonite79 true, and as recently as 2 or 3 years ago, he was still hitting incredibly high notes at the end of I’m a Believer, so it could be an off night.
Always love to see Mickey.
Time to put you feet up Mickey.
Good fun. No Auto-tune here 🙂
omg Mickey,call it a career
I count 13 wives and 15 children for the Monkees......Micky might be the only one to make it to 80.
Was this just an off night or is he finally losing upper vocal range and accuracy?
