The Monkees Christmas Medley '86 Featuring Mike Nesmith

Here's the Monkees doing a medley of Christmas songs along with some familiar faces from MTV. Nesmith makes a surprise appearance in this rare video from 1986. My apologies for the dialog at the beginning of the song. I couldn't locate a more complete copy at this time.

I remembered them showing this video on MTV during Christmas 1986. I loved this video but, they should put the whole video including the beginning where they showed "We wish you a Merry Christmas". I taped this song as well.

This is a Nickelodeon airing of the video. They cut it off unfortunately. I do have the full video on tape, but haven't located it yet.

I don't know if I'd agree that Mike didn't look happy, I think he just felt akward. Just before the clip ends, you can see a quick, sincere smile he flashes to Peter.

Wow! I remember this video completely, including Downtown Julie' Brown's "solo"

As I watched this, for a brief second I was 12 years old again. Happy Holidays!!

At least he did, god damn it, at least he did it.

The greatest pop group of all time wasn't the Beatles, it was the Monkees! Surprise. They don't want you to know that, the powers that be.

Never seen that before!

Nesmith looks very uncomfortable. Wonder why he did the show.

I forgot to say that Kmart was across our backyard.

I taped this whole marathon. I kept going across our back yard and buying kodak vhs tapes to record on my vcr. I threw them away years ago. Now they are probably are in a land fill in new hampshire in a garbage bag. boo hoo!

Ami Dolenz was so dang cute.

I think Michael Nesmith changed so much after the Monkees - when he grew his beard I've never really been able to see it's the same person and he looks SO different nowadays - you can barely tell it's him, but just for a few split seconds between 3.35 and 3.37 in this vid as he takes the glasses and hat off you get a glimpse of the old Michael Nesmith just by seeing the top half of his face - it's wierd - then he takes the Santa beard off and you can't see it's him again!
