Micky Dolenz LIVE -singing Mary Mary

[richroach1]

Great drumming. Go, Mickey!

[mikeknight4u]

I just think of "Mary Mary why you buggin...Mary Mary I need your lovin..." by Run DMC when I hear Micky's version.

[Kenman22]

If there's any doubt left that they couldn't play, this should end that. Not only is he drumming great, but he's singing flawlessly as well. It's tough to imagine top session drummers being able to pull off drumming and singing as well as Micky does.

it was great to be a kid in the 80's & witness the second wave of monkee mania, the memories & music lives forever:)

[sshelget]

@robeast9009 I so totally agree!! I was 19 during their 20th Anniversary tour and it was so exciting!! Nothing compares to the excitement of those days!

great drummer mickey, saw the four monkees in the uk in manchester 97, brilliant concert.

[cheufell0]

Micky is my favorite monkee. He is a good singer.

[LargoSlade1]

The Monkees had talent, just not given credit.

He was almost able to add Frank Zappa collaborator to the list. Zappa, who was once an Inland resident, as well as a fan of "The Monkees" and had appeared on the show, called up Dolenz and asked him to be the drummer for Zappa's band The Mothers of Invention after The Monkees' ended.

Dolenz called his record company and was unable to get out of his contract to join the band, he said.

Excellent post thank you

[cjolsen]

You are welcome

[posthumanhero]

very impressed by mickey these days.....he's like fine wine!

[liontone]

I love how he drops a stick @ 1:45. The look on his face is funny.

[cjolsen]

That is so funny. I have watched this over and over and never noticed it. He is really quick.

[dadadruma]

@cjolsen totally kept time and all. he really became a good solid drummer

[MQS02]

That was hilarious but he made a great comeback!

[autocrow]

@liontone I subconsciously saw that. I thought, what if he dropped a stick. You were right. He did. He grabs another fast! The ride cymbal kinda hides it. He's really quite good IMO.

[dahur]

@autocrow

Drummers almost always have a couple spares around. I even saw Buddy Rich lose one on Johnny Carson.  While doing a one handed left hand roll, he calmly reached around and got his spare.

we need more cowbell

[tomarkenfan83]

I love this guy.. I met him in 2001 and I was crying like an idiot and he stopped for a photo op and he touched my hair and said "Thanks for Coming Hon.." I sat in my wheelchair feeling happy and sad at the same time... Pete was just as nice too.... Awesome...

[superbraciola]

michy is my uncle.... hi from italia, civitavecchia

[SueWNY]

Great vid! It's hard to believe he had to be taught how to play when he was cast for the Monkees..he's terrific!

[Circle289]

Nice! :)

[hugabaloou]

I'm really impressed with the quality of this clip. I searched high and low for one that's actually clear enough to enjoy, and this was the first one I found! Thanks for sharing it:)

[cjolsen]

Thank you. I appreciate the nice comment.

[bobbyjodymac]

It needs more cowbell!

[klwewf]
