Never seen Mike rockin' it like that. If he would have always put that kind of enthusiasm into playing with The Monkees they could have come off as even more powerful than they were. He usually takes a back seat, but he had both hands on the wheel right there. Very refreshing to see.
Omg. I am a bit older than you met them all. Mickey was the most vocal. Davy cute mike solid and peter super fun and whimsical. Look to old stuff all very different and to say Mickey stood back my love you need to really look at the dynamics of 4 strong different personalities. I am a young 54. Met them all on many occasions and Soo grateful for that but these guys were thrown together and made it work! Fan since reruns at age 8! Rodney from kroq knew for years and great friends with them do was fortunate. So heartbroken over this. Wish Mickey many more years!
Wow!!! Papa Nes still rocking it in his mid 70s. Circle Sky is one of his best! It’s amazing how some people are just gifted with writing songs and Mike Nesmith is one of them. Rock on! 👍
I can’t stop watching this, I have never seen Nez so happy and animated on stage! The power in his voice, this is pure joy! I love how tickled he is with what Circe and Coco are doing on backing vocals, he must have been unaware they changed what they were doing and by the end of Circle Sky he is unable to contain himself the way he strums the guitar the last seconds of the song is just magic!!!
The crowd was through the roof at Circle Sky-- second only of the shows I've been to besides Nashville- and it looks like the guys could feel it. Nez was off the chain. Makes my old fan's heart happy.
Why do you think that was? Watching it here, I saw the footage and heard that guitar intro - I felt it from here just now - just - felt it - but just wondering if you had another take? Seems like people were sat down before too? Their faces (especially Nez's) suggest that they didn't see that coming. Sorry for long message, just so wish I could have experienced seeing them!
Holy shit. Nez hit it out of the park starting Circle Sky like that. That hand pump says it all. He was really enjoying himself. I wish I had been there.
Hi🙂🌻🤞🖖✌️💪🤳 . . . .. . just my humble opinion ... .too bad Mr. Nesmith was such an 'anti - reunion ' stick - in - the - mud during the '80's .🤨🙄😒.. just wonderful that he changed his mind 🤔 and rejoined the guys... Great this 😀 thank you ..❤️ 😁☺️😊🙂 👍👍 ... . . .🌅🌅🌅⛱️🌴🌧️🌦️🌥️⛅🌬️🌤️☀️🌞🌝🌴🏖️🌴🌈🌐🌟🌟🌟🌟😎😎😎😎😁😊🙂☕☕☕☕🍵🍵🍵🍵🍀 💪🤳🤳🤳🤳... 🕊️ ☮️✝️☯️🛐☮️
Whatever the Monkees are ( or were ) and that definition differs from the boys themselves...there is no questioning these were four very talented individuals who's impact can not be overlooked....They should be in RRHOF
Mike and Peter were legit musicians and Mickey Dolenz did become a decent drummer! Both of these songs in this video were written by Mike Nesmith! The Monkees should've been been enshrined in the R&R HOF decades ago!
I've always wondered how Micky ended up playing on a lefthanded setup even though he's righthanded. Ordinarily the hi-hat would be on the drummer's left, but Micky has always put it on his right.
8avexp I'm just guessing but maybe it's because it looked better for the TV show and since that's how he learned to play he still plays like that today.
PlumbPitiful He has a bone disease called Perthes which made his right leg shorter and weaker than his left. When he was learning to play, he had complained that it hurt to play the kick drum. He was early into his learning, so his mentor told him to switch the drum to his left leg
Nesmith still has it! And he knows when to funkify it for Mick. Mick has some great vocal moments in the last few years, maybe this Mary Mary wasn't it.
He has a 'weird' drum set up. Bass on the Left Foot. High Hat on the Right Foot. But plays a right hand approach to the tom toms. I think he's the only guy with this set up. How did it happen? I'm sure there's a story behind it. Anybody know?
I always loved this song even as a kid watching Monkees reruns on tv. Before the Monkkees recorded it, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band did a version of it. Check it out czcams.com/video/RflG4g39amw/video.html Knowing that version is out there adds a little gravitas to a song I always thought of as buble gum rock. Opens up different angles in the song I hadn't expeted. Be warned, the Butterfield Blues Band version is a little more "60's trippy" than the Monkees despite it also having a harder blues edge with real blues harp and guitar solos
@@hopelessstrlstfan181 , I apologize, for not being clear. I see you love the song. You disrespect the band and their style. This is a Monkees video and thread --- one of the top reasons the song exists.
Too bad Mike waited until Davy died before rejoining the other Monkees in these concerts and other fan events. I know he would occassionally show up, but he usually kept his distance. I guess Davy's death shook him up.
3:05 Micky lost his way on drums. The other drummer behind Mike is the one really keeping the beat. No disrespect to Micky, but he's just not that great of a drummer.
@@anotheryoutubeaccount9852 I would agree if this were still 1966 but the man has been drumming for more than 50 years now. He's got an amazing voice, he got enough personality to fill a room, but he's just not a very good "real" drummer.
@@Mr.Dobalina_Mr.BobDobalina , that's cool, man. ✌️ I'm on the video, because I'm a fan and enjoy watching / listening to them perform. Your comments on Dolenz alone, show that you're here for other reasons. Stay safe.
Wow, I can't remember seeing him so joyful at performing. This is really special. Thanks so much!
I FELT THE SAME WAY
You are absolutely right..I never saw Nez so happy

Denny Dederick agreed.
I agree. Mike was killin' it that night. Wish I was there to see this live.

We had tix for the cancelled Savannah show. Bummer.

Wonderful concert. A blessing to be able to attend!

The fact that he can still hit those notes 48 years later is impressive, honestly
I love the fist pump!!! damn that is so cool!

Mike has suprisingly powerful voice for his age.
God bless the Monkees. Thank you for the great music and wonderful memories. Was very lucky to get to see them twice in the 80s.
Whoa, what a transition from one song to the other.
Not sure why they need the extra drummer on this. Micky is killing it!
Agreed!
On other videos of concerts Micky plays an acoustic guitar and singing part of the time. Though I agree he's killing it.
Whatever the Monkees are ( or were ) and that definition differs from the boys themselves...there is no questioning these were four very talented individuals who's impact can not be overlooked....They should be in RRHOF
RIP Peter :(
Happy Happy Joy Joy Nez
❤The Monkees 4ever magick!
They still got it
Mike and Peter were legit musicians and Mickey Dolenz did become a decent drummer! Both of these songs in this video were written by Mike Nesmith! The Monkees should've been been enshrined in the R&R HOF decades ago!
THE MONKEEYS ROCK!!
The best group ever ! Period ! Better than the Beatles !
love. the. song. circle. sky
Nez has still got it!

8avexp I'm just guessing but maybe it's because it looked better for the TV show and since that's how he learned to play he still plays like that today.
It's because of a medical problem he had as a child.
PlumbPitiful He has a bone disease called Perthes which made his right leg shorter and weaker than his left. When he was learning to play, he had complained that it hurt to play the kick drum. He was early into his learning, so his mentor told him to switch the drum to his left leg
Mickey’s legs are doing left handed drumming, but his arms are doing right handed drumming
I just noticed that he is going backwards. Thanks for the explanations.
Circle Sky is pure punk! Love this and Admiral Mike, which is a bit of grunge.
Great! :)
Nesmith still has it! And he knows when to funkify it for Mick. Mick has some great vocal moments in the last few years, maybe this Mary Mary wasn't it.
Gtfo! I love the transition from Mary Mary to Circle Sky!! The boys gotta open up for Dead&Co...
Wasn't that 9/16/16??
Love this song, they could have turned Peter's bass up, that bass line is incredible in this song.
Peter isn’t playing bass.
Peter is playing guitar. A hired hand playing the bass. Agree it's too quiet.
He has a 'weird' drum set up. Bass on the Left Foot. High Hat on the Right Foot. But plays a right hand approach to the tom toms. I think he's the only guy with this set up. How did it happen? I'm sure there's a story behind it. Anybody know?
He had a health problem as a child that left his right leg weak. That is why plays right handed and left footed.
Where was the diminuitive Englishman?
Up in heaven, watching live, rocking the golden maracas with a big ass grin on his face and saying "that's my boys!"
Michael Sheldon Reed That's the best answer ive ever heard. kudos. Rest in Peace Davy Thomas Jones
Off The Wall Productions, LTD : You WERE joking, right? If so, that was in poor taste. You must know that Davy passed away in 2012!

@@anotheryoutubeaccount9852 Because I wrote "buble gum," right?
Where’s the Bass !!?? That’s the most important part !!
IT'S THERE. HE'S OFF TO THE LEFT. IT'S JUST 3 NOTES BUT IT DRIVES THE SONG. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE LOUDER THOUGH
Too bad Mike waited until Davy died before rejoining the other Monkees in these concerts and other fan events. I know he would occassionally show up, but he usually kept his distance. I guess Davy's death shook him up.
He toured with them before Davy died and made some special appearances when he could.
Great songs. They are still a great band minus minus Peter and Davey. Good video.
Everytime I see Peter live I wish he’d play the bass instead of that guitar.
Apparently Mike was a better bass player and Peter the better guitarist. But the powers that be......
Wow mike is still fake guitar playing after 60 years
3:05 Micky lost his way on drums. The other drummer behind Mike is the one really keeping the beat. No disrespect to Micky, but he's just not that great of a drummer.
It’s fine and a brief lapse.. He’s also singing.. Np
For a sitcom character, turned real drummer, Micky does very well.
