- Say goodbye to Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork playing altogether for the very last time as The Monkees. Per Nesmith declaration, Hollywood Pantages Theater in Los Angeles, CA on September 16, 2016 is his final performance with the two other surviving members on the same stage. Davy Jones died in February 2012.
The Monkees 50th Anniversary Tour encore is two of the sensational Sixties pop group's best known, beloved hits. The most famous version of "Pleasant Valley Sunday" by Gerry Goffin and Carole King was recorded by The Monkees in 1967 with lead vocals by Micky Dolenz. The same for Neil Diamond on I'm A Believer in 1966. Micky continues to tour, mostly as a solo artist.
Unusual to see Micky playing guitar & not drums. Good to see them here but alas without Davy, then Peter left us in 2019 & now dear Mike 24 hours ago. Sorry Micky, all your friends & band members departed. I do believe the soul lives on & of course the music will for generations to come. We will never forget the memorable songs The Monkees gave to us.
None of them ever lost their vocal or musicsl abilities! Mickey is an innate showman?
They still sounded great that night! R.I.P. Michael Nesmith
THEY SOUND GREAT!!!!

Well said Tyler I couldn't agree more so true they were apart of my childhood also
Still happening! Just saw them in Medford, Huntington, NYC and Albany! Four shows in ten days, the last three on the 8th, 9th and tenth!
Ok (´；ω；`)ｳｩｩ
Tyler Smith
The Wisdom of Dr. Suess! How smart was he? Brilliant man! I’ll remember that quote whenever something good ends!
In humble memory of my friend Peter Tork 1942-2019
I meet peter tork at the Albany plaza egg
We will never see this again. Thankfully we have video. RIP: Davy, Peter & Mike!
Good luck in all you do Micky!
Micky Dolenz has a good singing voice. He always did.
The best
Mickey's voice is still so powerful. Mike has said it was very early on that is was obvious Mickey would be the lead singer of The Monkees....he had such amazing pipes.
Rest in peace. Davy Jones, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith. I emailed Micky Dolenz in December and told him that I really enjoyed getting to see him and Mike Nesmith at the Texas Trust CU theater in October.
Just paying my respects here to Peter. Watching the Monkees after school when I was a kid was a ritual. All such good people. I'm glad the guys were filmed here, I especially love how Peter and Michael close off Pleasant Valley Sunday. Real class and real talent. RIP Peter and Davy.
Alset Wheats Well put, same memories! I loved these guys & unlike most singers, never heard or saw any bad news about them. They were great band & great guys. Davy & Peter are loved & missed. Mickey & Mike keep on singing as long as you can we’re still listening, carry on!!!!
Best part of the day... coming home from school ..grabbing a bowl of cereal and watching the monkees. Great memories.
@@Johnwillbegone me too!
I can't believe I'm watching them play on UA-cam recording in 2020 and I still remember when they made their first TV appearance ! It sure has been a long road . God bless them .
And my tears fell like rain . I cried for my lost innocence of back then, for Davy not being there to shake his tambourine, and for saying good-bye to one of the greatest bands in history ! Thanks for the bitter sweet memories boys.
Exactly. When Davy died, I had his young boy image in my head. We all grow older if we are lucky but he left too soon. Youth and innocence are so fleeting. And honestly, all of us who loved them then, we still do. My first love at 13. Just as strong and lasting as love at any age.
Nice words mate
The voice on Mickey…hasn’t lost an of its timber.
Surprised at how well Mickey's voice has held up!
TRUE
Yeah, it is a decent voice-tenor!
likely from not singing heavy rock for decades and shredding his voice like a lot of them did.
I sure loved their music...
vidstar1 sadly Davy Jones "the cute one" died in February 2012 I'm very sorry to say 😢
I got to see Davy and Micky in concert for several shows at Disneyland Resort back in 2001. Wish I could have also seen Michael and Peter join them. Rest in peace, Michael. Glad he was touring with Micky almost to the very end.
Awesome, awesome and more awesome to see Mike Nesmith performing with the much loved Monkees!!!
I personally think the individual and combined talents of this quartet were vastly underrated and underappreciated by the powers-that-be at Raybert Productions and Screen Gems. Dolenz and Nesmith certainly proved their credentials with the songs they've written.
"The last surviving Monkee will sing one day:
'Hey Hey I'm the Monkee' "
-Peter Tork
RIP
@@kevinbutler8824 I think he means to say that Peter was the one that said that.
@@kevinbutler8824 is spelling ”Monkees" incorrectly on purpose your way of seeking attention?
@@raymondfrye5017 The cool part about your comment is that it Won't be remembered, like The Monkees or The Beatles will always be. You do realize it was a sitcom in the beginning. Let alone the fact The Monkees or Beatles wouldn't give a shit about what you think. Lol.
@@raymondfrye5017 The Beatles were friends of The Monkees!
John Hud007 Sadly, I think it will be Micky.😥
Listen to Micky giving it his all!!
Thanks guys for all the wonderful memories I had as teen watching the show and listening to my many records. I always loved Mickey and his drums. RIP Davie and Peter, rock on in heaven guys!! When I get there I'll dance with you.
Peter rips that guitar riff on Pleasant Valley Sunday!
Mike did that with him!
Still love these guys 50 years later.
these guys and their awesome songs will live in our hearts forever
Mike Nesmith is a very talented & versatile musician & innovator.
I am saddened by the death of Peter Tork today. I'm glad he was at least able to perform on this last Monkees tour. Farewell RIP.
I went from this video to 'listen to the Band' . You'll always have a place in my heart Mike, peter and mickey. You guys were something!
Great to see Mike Nesmith and the 12 string Gretsch on stage again, I loved to see him play on the original shows from the TV series.
I really wish he would have showed up when Davy was alive. I really feel he was on a Guilt tour but still good to see him on stage.
You probably knew this but that was custom made for him by Gretsch. Only 3 were made. The other two were given to a couple of other guitarists. Can't think of them at the moment... Oh right - Carl Perkins and George Harrison. :)
This one looks a bit more modern than that given that George died in around 2000, K'd love one but with 14 Gretsches I don't think I can justify it!
Ed Van Meyer george?
George Harrison I meant. Loved Mike Nesmith's playing on those old Monkees TV shows.
Mike is so under rated by music buffs and historians.
When I was thirteen I was so in love with all of you❤️I am 61 now and still love you all❤️
I saw The Monkees on my 19 th birthday in 1969 ,it was a birthday present from my parents , wonderful memories!
It's heartwarming to see Michael found his way back. Too bad Davy didn't see it.
I love them all ,wanted to marry Michael when I got older. I'm 57 now he still looks good. They all do. Micky has so much energy good lord
You Monkees basically raised me from reruns on Nickelodeon in the 80s. Me and my sister love you. And we saw you play live twice!
Use to run home from school to watch the Monkees TV show,,loved it,, as a 60yr old man now i miss those dream days,,😍😍🙂🙂🎶🎵🎶🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧
The Monkees were my very favorite Group since I was in kindergarten. And they still are. Davy Jones was my first Celebrity Crush. I was very sad when I heard on ET that he had died. But now I'm just enjoying the Memories by watching all these wonderful ❤️ U Tube Videos of The Monkees.
Glad I got a chance to see Mike do a full Monkees concert a few years back.
Im proud to say they can really play those songs close to the record...all great guys very talented to say the least... wow good job guys from the lead guitarist of the Sundowners monkee tour 1967 with Jimi Hendrix ... love you all thanks for the great ride
And now.....our beloved Peter Tork is gone too! See you on the other side dear friends and thx for the best childhood memories EVER!😂😁
Wow! The three of you still sound really good. I'm very pleasantly supprised. Incredible but it still burns that Davy is gone.
100%!!!
And now Peter.....
Davy's presence in the Monkees was a gimmick by Hollywood to ride the Beatlemania tsunami.
Regards
@@raymondfrye5017 Davy was the first one hired. The whole group was formed as as take off of the Beatles.
This band deserves to be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame ....if anyone does ...can you tell the story of Rock N Roll with out the Monkees ??...the whole MTV thing was just an off shoot of the Monkees !
Greg Henderson long time fan, but HOF? umm no. think with your head not your heart. a good fun band, with an interesting journey. But not one of the all time greats, which the HOF should be
Fuck the RARHOF.
Should be but not holding my breath.
Well , it finally happened.
Last heard, Mickey was inducted!!
It's about time!! How could they let it slide all that time? One can't even think of the 60's without the Monkees, for crying out loud.
Again, it's about time, even just Mickey.
Most definitely should be in hall of fame have proven they can play live, had 2 great albums consecutively Headquarters & Pisces Jones Capricorn etc. Nesmith wrote great songs for them &Mickys Alternate Title was a brilliant track for 1967 any way the key is can play and have been influential forever and so much of their material is still relevant.
It was like watching my childhood wave goodbye to me 😢
Me, too!
Mesmerized, I vividly remember the first musical video on tv by !Michael Nesmith, RIO.. Before MTV
THE most underrated band of the 1960's. The producers of the show had NO IDEA what they'd created!!!
Loved them 50 years ago and still alive to do so today.
guys thanks for all the Saturday mornings I got to watch your tv show... wish there were shows on tv like I had growing up in the 60,s and early 70,s
Love you guys!! Great childhood memories. What good musician they are and Mickey always being a good representation to carry it forward.
What's amazing is Micky sings this in the original key with no real strain. Fanfreakin'tastic.
Mickys voice has only gotten better through the years. One of the very best singers ever!
The Real Music Observer Mickey so freaking good.keep it up
He must truly be one of the most underrated vocalists.
M.A.Torkee............an underrecognised voice in the world history of popular music........good wine.
A lot of power there.
Makes me tear up. They were so much a part of my youth. Always a smile when I hear or see anything about them.
Yep me too. They still do the songs and do them well after so many years, even without Davy.
Maybe so but they weren't auditioning for a band just a TV series, however they did persevere and learned how to play their popular tunes.

I love these guys, they made part of my childhood. Regards from Brazil. ❤🇧🇷

Need to update my iPod,have most of the Monkees on vinyl and CD. So much happy memories of watching them on TV,glad I got to see them live 4 times,three with the four of them. Great upload,thanks. Two of my favourite songs here.
So great to see them perform those old songs that I grew up with. So sad that Davy Jones could not be with them. I'm sure he was present in their thoughts and in their hearts.
Robert Laboub I hope Peter and Davy resolved their differences before Davy passed.
Robert LaBoube he would be there in spirit also
That was excellent
Rip Peter Tork 🙏🤙🏻
You are now with Davey
They are awesome!
Glad to see that Peter got to be an accomplished guitar player...R.I.P. Peter ! ! !
R.I.P. Michael Nesmith
These 3 are so good together and put out a great "Good Times" album last year's. Thanks M,M, and P!
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! As another part of my childhood fades away . I'm so happy my 19 year old son ( now ) wanted to go with me a few years ago to see DAVEY before he died at the Mohegan Sun Casino here in CT ..
Jesus Christ Almighty!! How did I get this OLD!!????
I know, right?
Just lucky, I guess.
lucky
You aren't- they are!
It's a muhh fuchhah, isn't it? The worst part of being old isn't being old. That's only just like being mildly sick. The horror is that you can never be 22 again and do it the hell right this time.
This is heart and soul of the Monkees playing their beautiful music as it should have been.
They sound great. Brings me back to the mid/late 60s. Loved their show. We miss ya Davy.
Thanks Michael...in case you happen to see this. (I also think of you when I listen to L. Rhonstadts cover 'different drum').
I loved the monkees! I would watch reruns of their show back in the 80s when I was a teenager. I had hoped to meet them all one day. 😔 I still like watching reruns of their show now. It makes me feel better. I hope Peter, Mike and Micky are all doing well. R. I. P. Davy! 😔 P. S. They still play and sound awesome! Even at their age.
RIP wonderful Peter Tork🙏♥️
Mickey never changes! The others I may or may not know if I met them on the street. But Mickey Dolenz I would always recognize!😊
Lots of memories from this band, farewell Peter.
Micky's vocals are still the same. AMAZING.
Great to see and hear
My favorite Monkees tune, and Micky can still hit those high notes rich and full - amazing! These guys created their own category of music, still not shared with anyone else.
Boz Fone (Barry) it's your old friend from St.Louis, Mike Colvin. I'm not sure how this works but if you read this give me a call sometime area code 314-603-7111 or email me at mcolvin73@yahoo.com. Thanks. MIKE...
it is always so great to see them together..I saw Peter, Micky and Davey back in the mid 80's then saw Peter , Micky and Mike in 2014 ..both shows were amazing and to be honest Micky's voice really didn't seem to change over the years..Pete actually was better and Mike was amazing also. So Now I can say I have seen all the Monkees may not have been at one time..but I can't complain.
almost makes me wanna cry......... I had such a happy child hood with these guys.
Still beautiful humbling spirits. Even better with time.
It's like the Monkees are a part of my DNA. Always loved them. RIP sweet Davy Jones♥️
:' ( awww... they were so wonderful. Shame life changes so much.
They were are still are fantastic!!!! A great part of my younger years.
Thanks Monkees; you are the best.............
God bless them all. Very happy memories. Thank you Monkees ♥️
Thanks Cal-vid for making me so happy and preserving a piece of live music history 😎
love that Nez is wearing the videoranch t shirt!
But where is the beanie
Some of my best childhood memories are watching their shows. I almost played the records smooth...listening to them so much. My children watched their shows on MTV when the shows were played on that channel. We shared that love together....
This was great! Memories! I was crazy about the Monkees back in the 60's. Memories! Thank you!
Well done gentlemen!!! Rock on!!!
I heard Peter on radio just a few weeks ago and remembered how young he made us all feel. Now just a short time later I feel so awfully old and alone.
HAVE to hand it to these guys. REAL troupers.
I still watch the monkees today in 2019. Love you guys.
we could be young forever if we believe it!
Thx SO much for sharing this! :)
Now that ride was worth the ticket. Thanks for posting it here!
I always was a believer :-) Word / Truth!
These guys and so many more were playing on my AM only transistor radio that was glued to my ear with a single ear bud all day long. The 60s transformed modern music. It was just a amazing time period to listen and grow up in. I endulged for much of the time while experiencing some of the free love hippy culture life style. I eventually grew up and put that all behind me. However, in never grew out of the music. I still hear a song from that period and can remeber the exact emotion i felt when i first heard these songs. I no longer have my vast 45 collection i gave it all to my younger brother. I believe he still has them. I loved to go into to the record store and buy them for a buck a pop. Two sides to. What a bargin. I loved playing them as much as i could on my little plastic RCA turn table. It drove my mother nuts.
If it weren't for the Monkees I don't know what my life would have been like. My parents raised us to think Rock 'n' Roll was not real music so my brother and I didn't listen to popular music on the radio. One night I had a lot of homework to do and I wanted to stall, so I tuned in to the Monkees first episode. The show was funny and I liked the music. Didn't miss an episode for two years. But I didn't know they were on the radio. I was coming home from school on a city bus and someone was playing a transistor radio and it was "I'm a Believer" (with Cousin Brucie). Couldn't believe it! My brother and I started listening to the radio just to hear "I'm a Believer" but wound up really liking so many other songs. Within a month we went out and bought ten singles. Within ay year I was playiing guitar.
Listening to them now they sound a bit amateurish to me...their voices and their songs...except for a few. There were just so many better artists making music. But if it weren't for the Monkees I would never have gotten into Rock 'n' Roll and I owe them quite a debt. Rock 'n' Roll became a major part of my life.
this makes my heart smile
RIP - Peter Tork, 1942-2019
Im 62 now, the perfect target age for them They filled the void left by The Beatles when they stopped being the loveable moptops. Every penny i could get my hands on went for Monkees merch. in 66 and 67. I hung on as a fan until 69. Last lp of theirs i bought was Instant Replay. Moved on to underground FM stuff, but always had a soft spot for The Monkees. Peter was my favorite. I liked how he acted dumb, but once in a while he would say something profound that showed he was very intelligent. R.I.P. David and Peter. Thanks for the good times we had!
Mickey Dolenz has a great voice. Hit all the notes.
It was a great ride for me , these guys were part of my youth, I really enjoyed their music.
They sound great!
wow surprised n happy to c and hear this after all this time .now I'm a beliver .....yep!!! :) hey thx for sharing this :)
Thank you Monkees for adding music and life for me so many years, you are still on my I Pod to play when driving..always loved you guys before the Beatles, well and then parallel. Missing Davy and Peter...so sorry and sad for losses... you are all wondeful and I am sorry I never saw you in concert....
I'm not afraid or ashamed to say it, I like them and their music much better than the Beatles.
Loved them, I think I have everyone of their records
The monkees will never end at all
They will always be remembered as Fun loving muscians. People have questioned their muscianship. Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork Are AWESOME muscians. Mickey Dolenz could sing very well. He was no real drummer BUT learned and kept the time well. Davey Jones could also sing very well. Headquaters is an AWESOME album. If Sgt Peppers did not come out at the same time It would of been a HUGE seller and in many peoples record collections. Headquaters was all of them writing and playing. Check it out
Micky's drumming on Circle Sky (live in their movie Head) is awesome!
I used to have a well known rock band when I was younger, and I didn't like the Monkees because I knew they were a manufactured band. But in the ensuing years, I've come to love their music, even if it wasn't their own. Later, I had the pleasure of spending an evening with Mickey in New York, and he was a helluva nice guy. I wish him a long and happy life.
Man I was such a little kid watching these guys...getting old ain't so bad sometimes with good memories and seeing these guys way older still jamming it out.
I saw them in UK in 90s (as loved them as a teenager watching their tv shows in 60s and 70s and I'd remained a big fan of Mike Nesmith solo)..it was a fascinating gig as Davey lead it for the most part with Mike standing way to the side of the rest of them as I believe he was being grumpy again..and Peter adding great off cuff comments..but the real surprise was when Mikey Dolenz jumped out from behind his drums and came to the front of stage..he just held the audience with his charm and humour and of course his singing..I came to really respect him..and now he is the sole survivor I would definitely go and see him if ever he tours UK again
This was fun to watch! I saw them when I was a kid. I remember everyone didn't think they could play their own instruments, but they sounded great. I'm sure they had backup musicians like in this concert, but so what. What nice memories!!!!!
Now Michael takes his hat off? ;o They all look and sound great, love this!
