Davy Jones - Daydream Believer-Epcot 2004

[saunders49]

still brings back some of the happiest memories of my life. Where did all those years go??

[flygirl0692]

I was at EPCOT April 2004 after returning from my honeymoon and I saw Davy performing in the American Pavilion. What a wonderful surprise! Great show!!!

[sazzal14]

I still think he's hot!! :-)

[bradybunchgirl1]

We're getting old:(

[MsAnnie1955]

remember Davy Jones in coronation street

[QueenofCredits]

Oh dear, what 40 years does to a man. Scary because I have likewise aged in those past 40 years!

[TheMonkeesfan]

The first syllable of "alarm" in the second line should be one tone higher. But I guess that takes a better voice than Davy's...

[steve7138]

Women really rerspond well to this song!!!!!

[hundqvist]

The Monkees was a very popular group also here in Finland, far away (where the bears tend to walk on streets...). I personally liked - and still like - this very song, sung by Davy Jones. I am also very pleased to hear that he is originally an Englisman - I like England!

[pbcwerner]

Davey Jones is the best! His signature song!

[theagelesswonder]

I saw him back in 05 at EPCOT. Loved it

[guitarbrian46]

Ahh the Day Dance at 1:18! I never get tired of this song and apparently neither does the audience. A classic song and performance in every sense of the word.

[grdnzrnic]

like the schmaltz too!

[fadabel]

I still keep daydreaming that one day I will meet you....you're adorable David!

[monkeefan75]

The best entertainer around ... he should win an award for it! I love listening to him sing and this song rocks -- always!!!! Love you Davy!!!

[steverayrapp]

Get back in your seats! LOL

[VidSurfinger]

he was best on spongbob!

[Smithfilmproductions]

Always a good show when he plays at Epcot.

[mkl62]

12-30-2010. Sake's alive, sake's alive, Davy's 65. Happy Birthday, DJ. You and the Monkees were the best. Show these wanna-be's of today how it's done.

[MultiDKenny]

The Monkees were a much better group

than given credit for. They had a song called

Tapioca Tundra on their Birds Bees album

which was a terrific song, as was this one.

[lancetop]

What fun! thanks so much for posting:)

[AnD082292]

Aww...Love you Davy!!!

[jerseyman34]

i didn't know dudly moore could sing lol !

[luvdavy]

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter who wrote it...if the ones that do the song make it memorable, that counts more than anything.

I don't know what YouTube has done, but the quality of this video has changed. It's awful...and wasn't like that at all before now. WTF?

[4fergr8ful]

@luvdavy You're right luvdavy, it doesn't matter who wrote the song.  Mike Nesmith (of The Monkees) wrote the song "Different Drum" for Linda Ronstadt. Neil Diamond wrote a couple songs for The Monkees, but he also wrote songs for other singers as well.

[cmsandusky]

@luvdavy

"As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter who wrote it...if the ones that do the song make it memorable, that counts more than anything"

Amen to that!!

MONKEES ROCK!!

[luvdavy]

No, Neil Diamond wrote I'm a Believer. DDB was written by John Stewart from the Kingston Trio.

[TechnoPath99]

@luvdavy They might have wrote them, but the Monkees performed them. I'm always gonna think that The Monkees wrote the songs

[4fergr8ful]

@TechnoPath99 As far as the songwriting goes, Mike Nesmith, of The Monkees, did write quite a few songs for them. The Girl I Knew Somewhere, You Just May Be the One, and Listen to the Band, to name a few. Other members of the group also wrote a couple songs. So you see, they did do some song writing themselves.

[Terrapin7171]

Nei Diamond wrote this song...

[retroalex1]

He still has it

[burnley5960]

@retroalex1 Yes in big spadefulls they had a great sound in the mid 1960s

[retroalex1]

@burnley5960 I know! I have almost all the Monkees songs on my ipod. I lovee 60s music so much better then todays music. But I still listen to todays music b/c Im still a teen and I dont want to fall to far behind you know what i mean lol

[polarisathena]

When I get old I like to look and be like Davy. Long live the Monkees and the 60's.

[JClctigers]

thank you i've been wanting to hear him sing this song

[dunbunter]

I like his shirt.

[metalslut1]

Davy Jones is awesome! Metal slut likey you VERY much! ;)

[deltorso]

Classic !

[movi3srock]

LOLZ I LOVE WHEN HE YELLS AT THE TWO PPL WHO WANT TO LEAVE! haha i love him! how could anyone walk out on DAVY JONES! WTF? :s

[pervious1]

He's still got it.

[peterzang]

@SaltyPeppr Is there a reason morons like you have to come on a site and curse? Do you feel better now? zzhow's tjhat forklift operator's gig working out for you?

[suelysamantha55]

Eu sempre amei essa Banda, e o Davy Jones é muito lindo, sempre foi meu ídolo. Graças a Internet eu consegui rever esse cara,é demais!!!

[luvdavy]

I remember the first several times I saw him, and situations just like that. You leave floating on a cloud. He really is something.

[zippywoo2]

I waited 44 years to see him and got my chance Feb 12th, in North Bend, Oregon. He put on an awesome show, leaving in a blizzard, flight delays, being driven down from Portland and arriving with enough time to chance his clothes - forget the sound check. After all this it was absolutely evident he LOVES what he is going. I nearly bawled when I saw we got third row seats. Karma paid off for me that night.

[urchin76]

go dave

[Wiley84]

Davy Jones was and still is a class act!

[leftchicago]

Always a pro. Check out the Ed Sullivan Show DVD's with the Beatles. On the 1st DVD, which has the Beatles US debut, you'll see a young Davy performing with the Broadway cast of "Oliver" . He's featured in a song called "I'll Do Anything For You".

[m1vgp21]

i have that dvd and davy was pretty good way back then..... it looks like he is realy enjoying himself in this one and not just going through the motions as some preformers do

[birdie399]

His voice sounds ok but the accompanient sounds too loud.

Thanks for sharing.

[Pacisdiligo]

I'd swear his singing has actually improved! He is quite the entertaininer. Long live DJ and the Monkees!

[adamkincaid1234]

Then I saw my waist

Now I'm a Bulemic

Not a trace

Of food in my mouth

Don't eat stuff

I'm a Bulemic I couldn't eat it if I treid

[suunlit]

Eu fui apaixonada por ele. He is my eternal love!

[wormri]

Where's the Octopus like beard? :/

[ddtpfri]

This is the Monkee, not the Pirate LOL

[atp1962]

Davey still got the voice. I am so glad we still got them. All 4 still can sing and play. We need more like this in 2010. Rap and etc is just to much, we need to bring bubble gum back

[chuckbuckbobuck]

Hey, don't knock it---Davy still has a lot of pluck for a guy pushing 70!!!

[TheGoogleface]

my god, hes never nearly 70 !!! i remember watching the monkees as a kid, loved it

[bbr25]

He's 64 - don't push it! LOL He did a pratfall at Epcot last March when it got a little windy during Valleri so think he's holding up just fine as I'd be sick if I did that and I'm 20 years younger!

[genatzvalee]

It was cool how he started making THOSE movements at "And our good times start & end" :)

[monkeefan75]

He's still got it!!!!

[ROCKINDJ007]

Thank you, I think he is great thats way I sing oldies.

[DeniseRigolon]

Como sempre, maravilhoso

[WaddeDarinDarin]

Today He can still sing like davy in the 70's

[WaddeDarinDarin]

"a stardust solo that pathed davy"s popularity in 73..

[ROCKINDJ007]

Great song and a great guy.

[DontClickOurURL]

he was on spongebob

[fivestring]

Still a great entertainer. The way he engages with the audience is pure Manchester Working Mens Club, his roots.

[Stupidwikipedia]

I almost had a chance to go to this!! I got sick in my motel room at last minute

[kithy2]

M MO MON MONK MONKE MONKEE MONKEES MONKEE MONKE MONK MON MO M Copy & Paste!! ♥Long Live MONKEES♥

[jig678]

still a cute little bugger

[ryuzakikun96]

He was on spongebob

[sparksguitar]

4 like 5 seconds

[LYNXVAL]

Love this song!! He did a good job here. Wish I could have seen then before they all went there way!

[Pusher307]

Hallo Davy, I've see all Your TV-shows in Germany in the 60's, Wolfgang from Germany

[leechaolan26]

Going to Epcot in a week and a half, woo!!

[TruthorIllusion]

Still love this one ahhh! 5*

[koolkid778]

he WAS cuter back then but he is still cool todayXP

[patri776]

he did a great job at wifes class reunion in mahanoy city pa

[Smithfilmproductions]

I just saw him there today. He was great as usual.

[GaGeGiGoGuHa]

how could you see him today if that was in 2004

[ozphil]

not bad for a guy well into his 60's...theres hope for all of us from the 60's!! Think this is the biggest song the Monkees had.

[platinumonetv]

My twin and I had a crush on davy when we were little. He is still cute!!!

[kalaki1997]

Does Davy have a chubby???????

Great vidio

Kalaki1997

[Clairewiggins]

I was at this show with my daughter who is 28 I am 49 my sister who is 55 and my niece who is 14, It was awesome and we all had a great time. We love Davy

[catheyeluvsmusic]

Gee- he's STILL so cute!!

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Love it!

Thanks!!

George Vreeland Hill

[NewLogicEnt]

Joey McIntyre reminds me of Davy Jones so much.

[litlandi]

oh my golly i was just sitting here thinking that...going to see NKOTB this month!

[tnman39]

Still such a great entertainer. Davey is awesome.

[54spiritedwill54]

great song

[BoilThatCabbageDown]

nice vid!

[Skinnyjoeymerlino]

I wonder how many times Davey's had to perform this song.

[FanDavyJonesBrazil]

I love, love, loveeeee Davy....

I love the show too...

I love the music Daydream Believer...

[CPWebCamBrodcasts]

il ike the oriignal one better hes old :-(and hes made more present if you know what i maen

[tombkreeper3]

i wish more music was like that now.

harmless no profanity just peacful nice music.

these guys are so inspiring

[yngwiefreak]

Davey has one of the most recognizable voices from the 60's. Personality, poise and great pipes. Rock on D.J.

[dirtycavemen]

it's cool how he still has as much fun singing this as he did so many years ago:)

[geekorama]

I saw another live performance at epcot.. though he was more animated in this one, I liked the other one more. He threw a little too much vibrato on this one. He sounds more elite without it.

[pegnitzer88]

GREAT!!!!!!

[loyerd6]

He still sounds and looks amazing. And although the accent may have faded a little, it's still very much there. He still acts like a kid, which is great, since he turned 62 in Dec 2007. Way to go, Davy!

[Ktturdsniffer]

Davy is such a freakin superstar. haha

I love him.

It's weird, when I look at him, I still see him

the way he was in the 60's and 70's, although now he's 62. He still acts like a younger man, which is terrific. Bravo, Davy! haha

and that accent.....enough said. I think I'm in love. <33

[hazeltail]

I think he's like 5'3" and he's 62 now, so in 2004 he would've been 58.

[newsboysfan2]

Does anyone know how tall he is? or how old?

[FoxmanFord]

This is truly an all time classic!

[tomsseries]

It's funny. When you hear a musican sing a song even 7 years later, it sounds different. Jones here, ABOSOLUTELY NO different. He cranks it out just like if it was back in the 1960's!!! Good for him.

[santnicola]

He's still cool ... the best guy in the Monkees... still in touch with the spirit of song and stage.... met him in Miami Beach 2 years ago as he stared in a British Panto show... great English artist...carries with him a whole life of show business. I wish the media would give him more exposure.... he's quite an entertainer in every sense of the word !!

[NANNYGRIZZLY]

There's NO WAY he's lost his spark. He still does the same partial dance in this that he did in his Monkees Video "Daydream Believer." (Not bad for a man his age!) Check it out. Not to mention he can still make women swoon!!!!!!!

[jarasitis]

love this, we just saw him at epcot and he was great. Very entertaining. love the song. (and the Monkees)

[monkeefan75]

My dear this is awesome! What a great show this must have been!

[BELTED007]

Oh He is still cute!

[Beatlegirl611]

"I'm working myself down to me knees-CHEER UP SLEEPY JEAN...."

That part was so funny

Davy still has it

[cuhrayzee1]

"hey where you two going?"

[Kammler03]

Thanx for sharing !! Tears in my eyes ...

Best Regards

Kammler03

[Lovebug5860]

i was there that year, he is so good, awesome

[ejnerhestetand]

love that song

[luvdavy]

Ha! Micky didn't write Daydream Believer! I think the only song Micky ever wrote was Randy Scouse Git.

It was written by Jon Stewart.

PS...Davy's voice isn't wavery. It's just the quality of the video. Check out some of the other ones.

Jan

[musicaldolphin1]

It was actually John Stewart of the Kingston Trio who wrote the song, not the comedian. He passed away last month. RIP

[geordie212]

great song

[girl920]

Micky actually wrote quite a number of songs. Thanks again for posting this.

[AcousticRain1]

Think its a really good song written by i think micky dolenz but my god what a prat davy jones is acting really uncool almost begging for appreciation, he could have sat on a stool singing that song and the audience would have loved it

[waltere200]

His voice seems a little shaky or a little labored unlike other singers in his era who have maintained at least close to their original voices. Peter Noonan, Lulu, Olivia Newton-John, Tom Jones to name a few have done an incredible job of keeping up! I love the Monkees in their old days!

[nbtsb]

that was teh pwn!

[kjkojak]

I luv Davy!

[AestheticGenocide]

Oddly enough I met him tonight. Apparently he owns a place in the area (Indiantown, FL). He was probably the nicest celebrity I've ever met.

[SCE2AUX]

Wonder if he's friends with Burt Reynolds.

[tickkledpinkk]

I'd marry him today if he asked!!

[pupulehapa]

My absolute first crush....................12 years old

[HDMBS]

Davy's still looking hot!

[binkle1]

My name is JEAN, and Davy lives less than 30 miles away from me! I have met him on many occasions (interviews I did on him) and he is a real sweetheart. His band is very close-knit and devoted to him. Davy's mode of transport is a cream-colored limo that goes up and down PA 522/22 (no other road you can travel). His driver nearly ran me off the road once!

[seagravefan]

You must live somewhere Mt. Union and Lewistown, PA because that's the only stretch that 522 and 22 are the same road. I traveled that road many times and it's very scenic through there.

[seagravefan]

I see his Cockney smoothed out with age. His sense of humor is still intact, too. In fact his voice smoothed out to the point where he actually sounds like Rex Harrison at times. Just my opinion.

[luvdavy]

Hey,

Davy was from Manchester. He never had a cockney accent. He had to work very hard to develop one to play in Oliver! when he was young. He has more of a royal family accent. If you've ever heard Peter Noone, he also is from Manchester.

John Lennon had more of a Cockney/Liverpool accent.

Things like, "I've got an 'Ol in me pawket" is that kind. Davy says, "You've broken my "Haht". :-)

Jan

[seagravefan]

I see. Thanks. :>)

[samauld]

i was at this show i was the security for his family, i worked at epcot and was given that job because i used to be his paper boy in uk and got invited backstage after to his dressing room

[kellyHatesBananas]

wow he is still sexy

[kellyHatesBananas]

lol

[Enid1958]

ahhh he's lovely

[srebrenika]

yes, this guy was a huge part of my childhood and i am so glad he is still alive, so that i could hear him sing again. You never realise how precious your memories are, until you hear a song or see a person that you havent seen in years. If you check out his video when he was younger, he was quite a dish. And today, he still has that youthful exuberance. Thank you davey jones for the memories/

[girl920]

Hi Jan! I am soo delighted to see this video on here!! EPCOT 2004 is my happiest/sweetest memory ever, and this video brought back lots of fuzzies. Thank you!! :-) (Mary L.)

[inwoodliver]

COOL!

[freedombird]

He's adorable!

[dixiecat44]

he is my fav now and when i was 12. marry me

[julmo1]

He is a huge part of my childhood, I love this guy and I'm so glad to see that he keeps running the ball!!!

[luvdavy]

He's not only in the running...he may be better than ever. A little grey, a little bit slower, but even sweeter than he was as a young man, and he recognizes our love and loves us all in return. :-)

Truly the All Time Teen Idol.

Jan
