*Gasp* Davy Jones . . . Maybe you don't think your show is missing anything from Mike, but I certainly think it is.

Micky looks great! :))))

@agapelloauthor I need to correct something here....Forgive me when I said that it was sad Mike wasn't there and that it was missing something...I think now the only thing that was missing is that Mike didn't appreciate the fact that he could of been there and wasn't..

Strange...all those screaming girls of the 60s are still there and still screaming but they are old ladies now! Weird to see older people screaming at a concert!

@wildcatter63 I was unaware that Davy was a drummer. That was something that I haven't uncovered in my readings. The tamborine statement was a joke because Davy always joked about it. Peter was an amazing talent and still is. I heard he mastered 9 instruments by the time he was 18. And I know Mike won. I was referring to the time of this recording. And Mike should've won the suit because PBS did him dirty.

@somethinsuavetheater Actually, Davy was a better DRUMMER than Micky, but he was hard to see when he was behind a kit, so Micky became the Drummer. Peter could probably taught either of them any instrument they chose.

Mike ended up winning the lawsuit to the reported tune of up to $500,000....

@FuzzballToday I mean, of course - I LOVE that they're on tour now, that they're still out there. I was at their show in Indianapolis the other weekend - best concert I've ever been to in my life. However, it's sad that Mike wasn't there. They're certainly missing something.

But the other guys were great - and Peter was amazing - I'm so impressed with how he sounds after his bat with cancer.

I think its great that they are still struting their stuff after 45 years...with or without Mike. Since the band wasn't a solo act for Mike...I think they are doing the best that CAN be done!...And it's great that the rest of the Monkees didn't drop the ball because of Mike...

@AndyBoy63 Mr. Jones is a good man. Just enjoy the music.

@Doogy17 You're forgetting that Davy and Mickey both played guitar. They didn't origanlly played the instruments they were assained but they learned them. (Okay. Mickey learned his. Davy banged the tamborine.) So they were all 4 honest musicians. And Mike was too busy getting sued by PBS to attend the tour.

And from here, the shows just got bigger and bigger...they needed bigger venues.

nesmith did appear with them at the Greek in LA a couple of months after this and then recorded Justus with them in '96, so I wouldn't say he wanted nothing to do with the Monkees.
