The Monkees' Peter Tork on Five All Night Live 1982

From 1982, Peter Tork of the Monkees is interviewed on Boston's "Five All Night Live" show in 1982. He talks about his then current band, The New Monks, who had just played at Somerville's Jumbo Lounge, as well as some Monkees reminiscing. R.I.P., Peter Tork

He still has that adorable smile. Seems so sweet and genuine.

Did you notice that Peter Tork was right on when he created this unreleased recording called Lady's Baby? Part of its lyrics says, chasing around isn't where its at. I name-called Peter Tork's band his torque wrench league. 🔧

Looks great, here! He didn't look too healthy when he was on Letterman around that time-- he got too thin or something and looked like he'd been on a "bender" but was supposedly sobering up by this point. Really missing Pete and Davy, and looking forward to Mike and Micky in Atlanta. Thanks for posting!

Happy heavenly birthday, Peter. Luv you always! 💓

I'm referring Peter Tork to Ringo Starr. When he name-called his group, the all-star band.

I would love to have Peter as my teacher mostly music teacher as a very big Monkees fan hope we could sing/play some Monkees songs that would be super cool even if most kids in my class would have no idea

[@lindas.5191]

I saw a comment on a different video saying Peter had been their teacher, and he was very good. He also coached baseball at a few different schools during the same time.

Peter I hope you no how much you was loved also. You help make the Monkeys also what a guy you were also “we miss you much”

[@lindas.5191]

So missed. Now only Micky is left. Very sad.

[@tuttt99]

He did look a lot like Stephen Stills.

[@scott7521]

Hey I live in Somerville! :)

[@dflf]

I didn’t know he lived in Marin County

[@davidsacco8521]

It was on WCVB-TV, Channel 5, which (I think) was the Boston affiliate for ABC.

[@Grogster2]

[@davidsacco8521]
