The Monkees Daily Nightly

[littleblackneko1]

I love micky's moog playing on this! I wonder where that instrument is now?

[ptoriginal6]

@littleblackneko1

From an online chat/interview in '96 - Bobby Sherman mentions it:

Bobby- I heard you bought Mickey Dolenz' Moog Synthesizer back in the early Seventies. Do you still have it?

Bobby Sherman:

Yes, I did buy it, but no, I don't have it anymore. He bought it when it was considered

state-of-the-art, and I bought it from him for a song! They were very difficult to work, so I gave it to someone who had more time to try to make it work! (He doesn't say who it went to.)

[MattHatter]

What I would do just to be able to TOUCH that original Moog synthesizer right there at Mickey's fingertips! The original analogue Moog synths are the BEST when it comes to creating the most whacked out sounds.

[imbueto]

@Katylife57, we all miss LSD-25 and gettin' high.. :)>

[Premier67]

I'm going to guess Nesmith didn't make a move so as to appear to be trippin'.

(maybe he was...)

But, he had a good grasp of visual concepts - as his later production work illustrates - and really, this song lends itself to just...listening...introspecti­vely, doesn't it?

[TopazStar67]

The 8 who "disliked" because they are sadly uncool. :)

[rochebraziliano]

its sounds more actual than ever

[MattMoon100]

psychedelic

[boneerooo]

Mikes a ball of fire in this video

[Katylife57]

I'd like to know what phantasmagoric splendor is!!



[kenc1161]

@Katylife57 A brilliant optical illusion with many changing colors and paterns.. During the LA curfew (hippy) riots the in thing to do was to drop acid, get high, light a candle and march in a peacful protest, but what started peaceful turned violent as the crowds got larger and larger. Many people including Papa Nez believed that the news stations covering the initial marches caused the violence, Many 60s icons like Sonny & Cher, Jack Nicholsen, Peter Fonda were arrested.

Hope this helped.

[badcoairsoft11]

im only 13 O.o

[theMonkeeslover]

They look soo freakin cool

[LadyBowie30]

Micky Is so HOT!

[BeatleMonkeegirl15]

@LadyBowie30 i proudly second that <3

[aschoch0226]

The video on the show ended with that overhead shot of Micky saying "psychedelic!"

[KathyReedTheOriginal]

Is Mike stoned?

[Duchesssammi1]

@KathyReedTheOriginal

[Duchesssammi1]

@KathyReedTheOriginal

NO Mike is NOT Stoned that is Just typical Mike being Mike!

[jeffrefrig]

@KathyReedTheOriginal I doubt he's stoned, but I'm pretty sure I am! This is such a cool song. Especially for some pop group. They were pretty f'ing good. Made some nice music. If ANYone's stoned here it's Peter. Take a look at him now...talk about rode hard & put away wet!!!! Peace. JLT

[MeTaLcOrE1616]

"but you don't love me and you never love me at all" i'm not sure with the lyrics but this song i'm talking about is maybe from the 50's or 60's but this is an old song.

[nilifur]

hooray! love the monkees! still trying to figure out how this is called daily nightly.... its confused me forever.

[Didac1111]

The first band in history using a synthesizer!

[MaskedMarvyl]

You missed the part at the very end where Mickey looks up at the camera and says "psychedelic!"

Thanks for the memories. I would put the Monkees here up against many of the so-called bands today....

[almodovar251]

Brilliant ! This song again proves that the Monkees deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The use of the moog synthesizer and Michael Nesmith''s lyrics// poetry desereve much praise and recognition. It is very original and ahead of its time. Thanks Monkees!

[retrotape99]

the first use of analog synths..i think we re luckier than the people living at the past but in future another one will tell the same for us..

[utubesux691]

great!!!!!!!!!!!! thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[efleck999]

why did you upload video footage from a video on your computer, and not the original video on your computer???

[ilovyasha13]

@efleck999 Obviously they didnt have the video on their hardrive.

[12161euclid]

songs like this prove the monkees were more than a manufactured pop group. they evolved into a truly classic rock band. they should be in the rock and roll hall of fame.

[jeffrefrig]

Yeah, psychedelic! Go Mickey.

[mickindanny]

I thought Micky wrote this song.

[Muffett53]

I was a young teen then. LOL But...the 'entertainers' today just don't have it. So few are true artists. Most are showy. That's a joke...not art. A live performance tells all. I know of one 'band' that is supposedly popular and I say...they only know 4 notes, they sing terribly and their live performances are not worth a cent. Lip-singing is ok for vids...but if you can't do it great live...quit. Thanks go to the artists I grew up on!!

[sortabli]

The vocalist loks like Susan Boyle.

[gregcervantez]

Saw this clip on MeTV and had to dig up this clip! Wow, very cool. Important info, BTW!

[cjjaxxon]

@gregcervantez I did too Friday night on Antennae and I remember this from reruns in the mid 1970s and I had to get this. Love it.

[sortabli]

was the monkee´s the first band to use a synth?

[crazygirl8343]

Yup. First band.

[6547811]

@sortabli they where the first to use it on a pop record then the beatles followed a year later when they recorded the white album.

[RnbwSpice]

One of my favs by one of the best groups!!!!

[kurtb8474]

In the 60s, the Monkees were about the COOLEST thing on TV, at least to a 9 year old.

[onepoet63]

Peace and Love to the Psychedelic era, best era there ever was!

[trevor40]

This is better than anything from 2010!!

[OurGangFan]

@trevor40 Even better than Justin Beaver, Miley Virus, and The Jonas Assholes!

[ac30165]

Moog's are awesome Paul Beaver had one and Micky had the second one....Nesmith was impressed with how Micky played it with all the beeps and boops lol

[timbodude2009]

love this........

[edwardelricfangirl1]

this is far out :)

[juanjunior13]

DE K EPOCA SON LOS MONKIES

[paulag16]

@juanjunior13

1960s

[MrsVil]

Very cool....

[mistysnowe9]

I liked these guys when I was a kid!!

[gatika1997]

¬¬ q tendra q ver esto cn mcfly jdr

[TTTrixie]

When I was growing up, this song was "totally far out!"

[Beagslie76]

I love this song, but Nesmith was my fav monkee

[Monkofmagnesia]

I love Nesmith's lyrics. Lines such as "pirouette down palsied paths," and "a world that glitters glibly."

[beatlesrock777]

love the youtube mixes

[RADRONWHIT]

The person who posted this was using a camcorder and recording off the tv set, you can see the scan lines on the tv that camcorders pick up!

[gaatooor]

I think it was by this point Mike was long sick of being a Monkee. I love Mikes solo work. Very brilliant. Thanks for the upload :)

[mshecket]

This clip is missing a bit at the end from the original TV episode in which Micky turns to the camera and cheekily declares: "Psychedelic!"

[skibbyskibinski]

Im sorry but i never liked this song.

[coloradoryan1]

monkees go psych

[13lostlove13]

you say justin beaver-I SCREAM BEATLES

you say miley cyrus-i say led zepplin

you say t-pain I say Kiss

you say flowers-I say Deep Purple

you say pink-I say Pink Floyd

you say hip hop-i say shut the fuck up

you say pop-I scream ROCK

you say hannah montanna-i hit you in the face

92% of teens have turnedto hip hop if you are part of the awsome 8% this still listen to real music then:

DON'T LET REAL MUSIC DIE!!!

[crazygirl8343]

@13lostlove13 its kinda funny how you said pop....when this is pop music!

[13lostlove13]

@crazygirl834 well, i think the orignal person who wrote this (because it is surely not mine) meant the pop you hear on the radio these days, like rihanna or miley crus-they meant radio pop, not just pop in general.

[crazygirl8343]

@13lostlove13 Ohhhh, okay.

Haha

[richiebear1969]

They probably got to do LSD with Jack Nicholson.

[hubbaman9885]

Released in 1967 on Pices, Aquarious, Capricorn, & Jones, this song marks the first time ever a synthesizer keyboard was used in a pop record. Mickey Dolenz bought the third MOOG Syntheszier built by Robert Moog, Who ever thought the Monkees would be the first to do so. It was Analogue, Digital Synthesizers didn't evolve until about '74, '75.

[decemberschild1217]

@hubbaman9885 ...very cool but the moody blues had already cut a couple albums with the mellotron by the time PAC&J came out...no?

[lowaces]

the monkees in their time were way more popular than todays crap like beiber and ga ga

[losescarabajoss]

The 60's had the best bands, I'm not from the era, But I liked everything about the 60's. I think that I was born in the wrong era.

[knavel1]

No you weren't. There is a lot to be said about just being able to appreciate something as well. I agree that the music from the 60s is untouchable. But glad I am from my own time as well.

[ModGirl1967]

Peter makes a big show of sticking that hookah in his mouth at the end.

[ModGirl1967]

Psychedelic!

[hitohane]

Who ever has this on tape, please get a video capture device and properly encode this video to digital, and then upload it. Please.

[liverpool1ist]

class

[mrhyde63]

thank you

[ClassicRocknRoller17]

micky lookin up at the camera... ahh his eyes make me melt. <3

[ModGirl1967]

@ClassicRocknRoller17 Yeah I remember feeling that way. I was going to run away to Hollywood and marry him.

[rickb89]

I used to love this song as a kid. It's great to hear it again! Sounds great even today.

[spikeboogey123]

"PSYCHEDELIC" :-)

Mickey says that right at the end...but it got cut off...

[Ari721]

This is the kind of song you don't know exists but should know exists! AMAZING

[R0BIMUSPRIME]

Wow! Is Peter hitting a hookah pipe at the very end?

[R0BIMUSPRIME]

Wow! Is Peter hitting a hookah pipe at the very end! Hey Hey we're The Monkees! The money's in, we're made of tin, we're here to give you more! Head trippy video before Head!

[trevor40]

LL Cool J gets into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame before The Monkees WTF??????

[bkthin]

i still shake my head about that

[Spada56]

there's politics in music too

[nizzystar]

really! ughh!

[caljoni]

Trevor40 I agree..what can we do??? 

[Screengems1]

I love this song. Micky is so adorable too! :)

[ponfarr69]

And realize the one whose found tthe questions but no answeres

[ozzyscruggs1]

Saw this when it came out. Seemed like magic.

[andrewandzack]

I think the wildest thing about this song is that it makes the Monkees one of if not the first rock band to use a synth. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure they released this song before the Beatles first synth recordings which I believe were on Abbey Road. Probably one of the few if not the only progressive thing the Monkees would have done first.

[julyman08]

no the beatles and the monkees used 'em bout the same time the weird thing is buck owens was said to have had one too but i don't know what buck ever did with his i got this info off of one of the monkees albums i bought when rhino records reissued their stuff in the 1980's

[Poochyenagirl]

Actually from what I understand the Monkees used the Moog Synthesizer two years before the Beatles did. Micky purchased one of the first ones.

[julyman08]

i'm just qouting form off the back of one of their albums

[sas147741]

The third one that Robert Moog sold

[bkthin]

the monkees used the moog 1st in daily nightly. the beatles used later in maxwell's silver hammer & here comes the sun.

[Kohntarkosz]

Buck Owens made a record called Switched On Buck (the title being a take off on the legendary Switched On Bach album by Wendy Carlos) which came out in 1971. Apparently, it's an entire album of Buck Owens songs played on synthesizer! No, I've never heard it. I'm just quoting what it says on Wikipedia.

[Kohntarkosz]

Well, depending on how you define the word "synthesizer", you could argue that synths were used on songs like Good Vibrations and Runaway. But The Monkees were definitely one of the first rock groups to use a Moog synth. I think only The Doors may possibly be able to lay claim to having used one first.

[sassyeve2003]

@Kohntarkos

it is written in both Mickys autobiography and Andrew Sandovals book the Monkees Day to Day History, that Micky did not wish to wait after he saw a demo and purchaased one of the original prototypes from Paul Beavers in 1967. and according to Micky he was the 2nd owner, he sold the unit to Bobby Sherman in the 70s and it was last used on Eddie Grants Killer on The Rampage album in the 80s. the unit you see in this video is Mickys actual moog.

[sassyeve2003]

@sassyeve2003

The song written by Mike is actually a prose he wrote about the Los Angeles Curfew Riots on Sunset Blvd and the burning down of the nightclub Pandoras Box, and the inability of the news to understand what was going on. The song was originally written without the Moog, but Micky added it to the track and Mike loved it...Hope you enjoy this useless information

[wkndsquire]

@sassyeve2003 To be honest, I love finding out ''useless'' info on songs that I've listened to for so long. The writers, the inspirations; anything explaining the who's and why's. Thank you for your post.

[Kohntarkosz]

Yeah, I know that Mickey had one of the first Moog units, but The Doors released Waiting For The Sun, where they also used a Moog, just ahead of Daily Nightly, so who knows which recording session occurred first? And as I said, there's lots of records with electronic instruments that predate both albums, going all the way back to the 40's.

[plymouthbelvedere]

I'm pretty sure that the instrument Mickey is playing here was the second Moog synth ever made...

[fonna]

Peter is so cute!!

[bottibabe222]

ah yes..one of my faves!...sooo groovy man....doing it mickey style..:)

[mobyboy]

Monkees - not Just Humor !

also a serious psychedelic

[LiveCrueltyFreeNow]

Love the video of this song from the tv series. Truly one of the best Monkees' songs.

[etowmom]

@LiveCrueltyFreeNow , along with Going down.

[LiveCrueltyFreeNow]

Yeah, Goin' Down is awesome too ! :)

[CaptGage]

Pleasantly surprised there's a vid of this trippy song!

[trevor40]

If The Beatles did this song--it would have been universally revered

[thankGodforDavidG]

Monkees Brit band from a happy music era, and this a great one. loved it, thanks Melanie !

[Screengems1]

omg Micky is beautiful so beautiful.. I get lost in those beautiful eyes. lost in scenes of smoke filled dreams ..I just love this sound of the Moog and I love Micky!. very groovy!!!

[wronitz]

I wrote a paper on this song in college. When I played it for the class no one identified it as a Monkees song.

[rustino08]

what's up with Mike in this Vid? He's like a statue!

[RaeIzGr8]

I saw a commentary. Micky said Mike was inanimate because he wrote the song and felt like he didn't need to do much more

[zukosan1313]

yeah that summer that this song was hot they would play it twice on the radio because the radio version was so short////.goodtimes!

[rotes1968]

Great!!!!++++++++++++++++

[slras]

Does anyone have the full video for this song where at the end Mickey says "Psychedelic"? This video cuts that part off. Thanks

[captgoonsquad]

this is my favorite tune, i like the alternet version on the cd, it has no micky noises, just jam! how many out there like this version? thanks

[mkmfilms2009]

This is my favouritist??? song of all time-

brilliant lyrics and spaced out music...perfect mix of pop & psych!

[vanessapetey]

Mickey was the sexiest of the Monkees.

[8CaptainJackSparrow8]

Bad quality of video... but the greatness of the song makes me not care fo much... at least it still has the music fine. So thank you.

[eightday]

i cant believe i found this! great post!

[Khultan]

They sure ain't playing their instruments.

[8CaptainJackSparrow8]

Well duh, not right here but they played. Micky the Moog, Mike the guitar and Peter the piano for this particular peice.

[scs3000]

Jesus, what happened to the good version of this???

[0786386791]

Tu peux me le dire en français s.t.p ?

[alsox666]

i like it so much

[95bombers1]

Dat bass is so smoothed out

[mandysue74]

at the end it looks like Peter puts a dog whistle in his mouth........LOL

[mrhyde63]

i wonder if u could help me please what is the song davey jones sings in a top hat in this movie?

[Gowansgroupie]

I believe it was Cuddly Toy.

[jimbailey69]

"Daddy's Song"

[DMMP28]

No it was Cuddly toy. He sang Daddy's song in the movie Head.

[8CaptainJackSparrow8]

What movie? This is an episode deary.

[justinplank]

@mrhyde63 isn't it Daddy's Song by Harry Nilsson? (same writer as Cuddly Toy)

[tedm1975]

@mrhyde63 No I think the song that your thinking of is" Daddy's Song" from the movie Head.

[wallofvideo]

@mrhyde63 in the movie "head," davy sings "daddy's song."

[hitohane]

Instead of a camera, get a video capture card so it looks good.

[ponfarr69]

Uh OK, not to get involved with dictionary? The MONKEES ROCK

[Choogler1]

from the album "Pisces,Aquarious Capricorn and Jones,ltd..One of my fav's,for sure !!

[trevor40]

Good Song!!!

[MarsFilth]

When you learn about the real story behind this song, its amazing.

Apart from being the first song to feature the moog, Mike Nesmith wrote it as a protest song...the pandoras box incident. Check it out. Same with Buffalo Springfield - For what its worth.

[8CaptainJackSparrow8]

I know... this is a song in my top 3 favorite monkee songs. Mike's amazing and Mickys the best moog player ever lol

[95Bomber]

i cn hear Gnarls Barkley coverin' all of da Monkees songs. Mof, I wuld like 2 dem do Nights in white satin by The Moody bules ova.

[95Bomber]

luv dis song

[Mechanicalporcupine]

evelroy. you are an ass.

[Volbeat1010]

PSYHCIDELIC!

[tkslan00]

double super cool tune, so funny to see Mike doing nothing. At the end of the tv show video, Mickey says "psychedelic".

[stingray1964]

Mike is doing something...posing.

lol... Really cool song off of a really good album!!

[carliecurtis]

There used to be a rumor circulating in the eighties that Mike wasn't actually here during the filming of this--- that this was a cardboard cutout of him.. But I watched it closely and he DOES move. LOL!

[txpipedad]

Mike wrote the song...maybe he figured that was enough! lol

[MadisonBlythe]

I heard once this song was about people marching in a demonstration (at night?).

[evelroy]

you are correct MadisonBlythe....per Wikipedia...the song is a political commentary that was inspired by a curfew imposed after the "Hippie Riot" which took place in Hollywood on Sunset Blvd in 1966.

I'm woundering why some ignorant moron would give your comment a thumbs down????.

*insignificant footnote* I attended H.S. with Mickey's younger sister.

[Gimic300]

You're right! That is insignificant!

[evelroy]

Gimic300....did you stay up late to come up with that master piece of a retort or did your Mommy help you?

[Gimic300]

Come on, I'm no troll. I was just kidding.

Stop taking things so seriously, like I really go onto Monkees videos to make fun of people.

[evelroy]

Gimic300......Oh really?

I too have a suggestion for you; stop being a little smart ass to begin with because it causes people to think you're serious as well as ignorant. Maybe had you not dropped out of high school you would have learned the definition of 'making fun of people'.

Now grab your favorite little dixie cup and bottle of hand lotion and crawl back into your plastic sheet lined closet before your mommy catches you on furniture.

[evelroy]

Gimic300......on top of being ignorant you've also shown us you're stupid to boot.

You aren't qualified to judge anyone as you lack both an education and experience.....

What kind of a loser can't even graduate high school...never mind, I already know

you're the answer to that question.

Now crawl back into your closet and finish your midnight snack....

[Gimic300]

I won't agrue about my lack of experience, but what is written on your channel is a testament to your idiocy and your ignorance. As a human being I have as much right to judge you as you do to judge me, which you have done with blind insults and moronic blathering. Very becoming of you, I must admit.

And this whole thing we've got going here, it's done. I think you should just try to enjoy the few years you have left.

*insignifcant sidenote* George Carlin was a high school drop-out.

[evelroy]

Gimic300.....gosh! You win! I can't compete with George Carlin being an important high school drop out. Just think where our society would be today without his contribution.......

[evelroy]
