The bassline on this tune is just so swoopy and sexy. I wish more people paid attention to basslines these days.

I love seeing them actually rocking out on their own instruments. Man, they rock!

@trinketbox1 His backup vocals were pretty bodgy too

@trinketbox1 Oh, yes, I know that Mike didn't tour with the guys in the 80s, except he joined them in L.A. for one show in at the Greek. Then I knew all 4 got together for a short tour (in England I think??) and I thought this concert was the one with all 4. But I wasn't sure. I knew that Mike was instrumental in the creation of video music with his company Pacific Arts. :)

@sshelget Nesmith basically vacated performing with this group. He went on to do other things, like starting MTV.

@trinketbox1 I didn't look at it that way - I thought it was nice that he went up to Join Micky. :) It's nice to see all of the guys in one shot. Of course, isn't Mike in this concert too? Wish they showed him playing it too.

Note that Davey Jones just can't let Micky Dolenz have the spotlight; he has to go up by him to sing. What a twirk.

They definitely got it together, this is a treat to watch thanks!

[cyberpsych1]

I just now realized that Mickey Dolenz was an "open hand" drummer like Carter Beauford of the "Dave Mathews" band. You can pull of some "wicked" fills drumming like this that you couldn't with the traditional overhand style, I've heard...

Mary Mary, why ya bugging, LOL, even Run DMC had to appreciate the boys!

@bc191: Right. He learned to play drums I think after the Monkees series started, or had a little drumming experience but not much at all. Imagine that, and then played on the records when they were on the recordings for real. Man that could not have been easy.

the monkees,,,now that i think of it,,could easily be considered the first "super group."

i know they werent the greatest musicans..i believe the first so-called super group of my day... was...not THE Cream..but just plain.....Cream.

but if you know how many number one hits the Monkees had..and that they were put together to form a group for purely commercial reasons.. i say they fit that name nicely.
