OMGoodness, I remember being so in love with Davy back then & I was just a kid not even in my teens yet!!!! Loved their show so much & their music! Such good memories.♥️😍
I love the backing on this take. One of my favorite Monkees recordings. One of my favorites of all time. Your guitar is perfect. Has that great wild mercury, sunlight sound. Thank you!
Remember when they used to have recordings on the back of cereal boxes- you physically cut a circle of cardboard out of the cereal box and played it on your turntable? I remember this song on a back of Alpha Bits.
Actress Robyn Milan (who was 16 when this was filmed) went on to mainly guest starring roles on several different shows during the sixties and seventies including a very funny appearance on the Partridge Family as a girl that Keith is enamoured with that cannot sing czcams.com/video/BmZnk9RFKm0/video.html Sadly she passed away on July 14th 2020 at the age of 71.
I thought they came up with the uptempo version putting together their live set (see tour episode). But since either Boyce or Hart said they were influenced by "Yesterday, (and they needed a ballad)." no way this was going to be on their debut. Still, this has more tang.

They had to reshoot the song videos later because in the original unaired pilot they were lip syncing to the Boyce & Hart demos which were quite different from the versions they did themselves later. In the reshoot Micky's hair is different and Mike is playing a different guitar
This version should been on the album back then
It is on the Missing Links Volume 2 album and they added it on the first album in the deluxe album released in 2006
the Hammond Organ solo in this arrangement is AMAZING!!!!
Thanks for watching and comment! Glad you like this version!
oh yeah, I love the original slow version which was one of their hits, but this faster version is wonderful as well!
More like I Wanna B-3
I prefer this version.
Me too

Such a great song so sad Nez is no longer with us he is now with Davey and Peter.😢
And Mike Nesmith
Wow, I've only ever heard the slower lp version. This one is pretty cool! RIP Davey.
I miss Davy and Peter and Michael 😭😭😭😭😭
This version has such a nostalgic vibe to me, even though I was nowhere near born yet when this episode first aired
same omg
Know the feeling! I was born that year!
All of age three myself. After school reruns helped me clue in.
LOVE this version- you can really hear that Boyce & Hart wrote it in this version! Kim
i played guitar on this song..also the "slow version.....gm miss yu davy!
So cool, good job!
Wow! That’s so cool!
Very cool!!!!

I first watched this episode in 1975 rerun , I was 7 years old , never forget them days

TnseWlms Wow, I'd forgotten about those. But sure, I do remember now. Thanks for sharing that memory.
Wow.. I remember that
I have one
OMG yes!!! I think I still have a couple of them in my box of childhood memories!! 🤔🥰
I had completely forgotten about those😁Thank You for sharing that happy memory🎵

This has been my anthem all my life.
Rip Davy Jones 1945-2012 😢😢
Obrigado Michael Nesmith....descance em paz!🙏
YES that is SO NICE, BLESS YOU!
I remember when this episode first aired
1966 is now yesteryear
Gosh I sure miss the Monkees... They were an amazing group and even tho people say the copy the beatles I didn't car. R.I.P Davy Jones
Davy looked so young then but this was shot in 1965.
Robert Pusateri 20 is pretty young plus his birthday was in December so he could have very well been 19 even
we all looked younger then. and ur point?
Well he was only 18 or 19 so yes of course
They were some incredibly handsome guys so sad they've been reduced to just one lone surviving member now really breaks my heart RIP fellas.
Even to this day I miss Davy
I love the look on her face
I love any of the versions with Davy on this song !
Belmont park is where they filmed the merry go roundpoor man's Disneyland back in the day in San Diego
Yes! Great song!
It looks so weird Davy playing a guitar and also the guitar is like a thousand times bigger than him😂
G V fr he’s supposed to be a front man haha
In the beginning as they say
I actually like the way that big guitar sits on his lap. Makes him a total lad to me 🎉
I love this version
Lyrics
I wanna be free
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea
If your love has to tie me
Don't try me, say good-bye
I wanna be free
Don't say you love me, say you like me
But when I need you beside me
Stay close enough to guide me
Confide in me, whoa-oh-oh
I wanna hold your hand
Walk along the sand
Laughing in the sun
Always having fun
Doing all those things
Without any strings to tie me down
I wanna be free
Like the warm September wind, babe
Say you'll always be my friend, babe
We can make it to the end, babe
Again, babe, I've gotta say
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free

May 17th 2020 and thinking of this song while sitting in my home during Chinavirus
I love how peter has to really hunch his back to get to the mic
Jacob Ramon Thanks for watching and comment
One of songwriter Jimmy Webb's favorite songs.
I prefer the slow version more, but this one is also very good
Rest in peace Davy forever in our hearts
I like this version better than Davy solo

Good innocence...
I love this version🥹
I love this better too monkeesgirl
did anyone else notice the huge mud smudge on her yellow slacks which magically disappears?
lualncol This was filmed in November 1965 so it probably had rained recently. She probably slipped and fell at some point.
The yellow slacks may have disappeared after the taping.
Davy Jones guitarra e voz solo
Micky dolenz bateria canhota e voz solo
Michael nesmith guitarra
Peter tork baixo
Thanks for watching and comment!

Also Robyn Milan who was the pretty young girl in this video. She died in 2020
That was some cute girl that they were playing for in this episode!

This is good, but I like the slow version better.
Def prefer the slow,gentle version.
Jennifer lawrence time travelling!!

Been so long since hearing this version, forgot how good it is, prefer it over the slow version (it's great itself, just not as).
1:46
Ésta versión suena mejor que la acompañada con orquesta
Perchance Al Kooper ("Like a Rolling Stone") played that session?
Can you add the squeaky mix of I Want to Be Free by The Monkees
Alguien sabe como se llama o llamaba ella? Esta bien hermosa 😍😍😍
I remember seeing this episode when it originally aired
Ella se llamaba Vanesa (en la serie)
Robyn Millan
母国からのコメばかり
訃報、お彼岸にヨーカドーでモンキーズ流れていて知らされた😭
Whatever became of young Vanessa??

@@PlumbPitiful Rest In Peace Robyn. You helped set The Monkees series off on the right foot.
why are so many teenage girls like davy it started in 1966 and i ended 2012
What's the name of the TV episode?
This was the pilot episode of the series. It was titled "Here Come The Monkees"
0:33 and 0:38 he looks different 🤔
Help me !
Who is that hot blonde?
Actress Robyn Milan who actually was 16 when this was filmed
@@PlumbPitiful WOW!
The continuity errors are hilarious. The producers didn't care to match instrument color or hairstyle or anything.
They had to reshoot the song videos later because in the original unaired pilot they were lip syncing to the Boyce & Hart demos which were quite different from the versions they did themselves later. In the reshoot Micky's hair is different and Mike is playing a different guitar
nice alt version, but not really the best for sure.
