The Monkees - Nine Times Blue on the Johnny Cash Show

[PanterA1984]

p.s. I love the brief acoustic by Johnny and The Monkees.

[fmarine1]

I like The Monkees, but this will not get you in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

With all due respect to the late Johnny Cash and his legacy,he couldn't write or sing a song like Michael Nesmith can.

Love it!

[toodles908]

hey remember the tv series

[crowley24]

Does anyone have the nine times blue tabs for this version?

[wisesatyr72]

Mr Cash is such a cool dude

[shan128]

Anybody know which one it was that Carlene Carter had a crush on?

[Markkassel]

19th july 1969

[attilathehunz]

what year was this? I'm guessing 1969, cause Peter was gone,

[TheMonkeemen]

It was 1969. The group was trying to revive interest in their music by appearing on TV shows.

[TheMonkeesRock]

@TheMonkeemen Lol yeah i still like them

[liontone]

It's called flatpicking or hybrid picking. You pick the bass strings and use your middle and ring finger for the other strings.

[sunnygf]

i have never seen this!! love it, even if it's not perfect.

[forsythia77]

This is wonderful! They sing so beautifully together. Peter, where are you?

[pacatrue]

Any guitarists know how to do the right-hand technique that Mike does on this tune? It seems like you pluck some of the bass strings individually and strum it out on important beats?

[carlenecarter52]

carlene carter was talking about how they were on here she loved them and the one she liked kissed her on the check before they left she was so red carlene is june's daughter for thows how don't know

[monkeefan75]

Love this! Even though it's out of sync it is still awesome!

[MAMsMom97]

Other than the sync, this is great quality! I've loved this from the first time I saw this more than 15 years ago. The out-of-sync thing happens, that's OK. I'm just glad it's up! Thank you!

[sweetyoungthing91]

[sweetyoungthing91]

Day-amn, the Guys looks CUTE, don't they?

[RedheadNik]

You have specifically this version of nine times blue on CD? If so, I MUST have it! :-D

[GimmeKitty]

No, I have a copy of the Monkees on this show, on CD ... It's just the audio, with no vid, sorry. Someone from Monkeeland copied it for me, for which I am eternally greatful.

[RedheadNik]

Oh man, that's awesome.

This version is not available on CD. Nine Times Blue is available on the Missing Links Volume 1 set. It is on other compilations, too, but THIS version on Johnny Cash is the best. Wow!
