are launching their 2020 tour on April 3rd at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, the same day that their new live albumThe set was recorded on the duo’s 2019 tour and features big hits like “Pleasant Valley Sunday” and “I’m a Believer” mixed in with fan favorites like “You Told Me,” “Circle Sky” and “As We Go Along.”
The set was assembled by the Monkees’ manager/music historian Andrew Sandoval. “I set upon hours and hours of listening and critiquing every performance we captured, making a spreadsheet, breaking down the best versions of each song — in some cases in the best verses, choruses, solos,”“I then handed off my research to Christian Nesmith who worked tirelessly to create mixes of the best material.”
“My instruction to him was maybe different than what most fans would imagine,” he continued. “I didn’t want to just make akeepsake. I wanted to make a live Monkees album that would stand out from the archival and bootleggy soundboard CDs that had come before.” The Monkees hit the road last year just weeks after the death of Peter Tork, who they honored every night of the tour. As the U.S. tour wound down, Michael Nesmith took to Facebook and expressed misgivings about future shows beyond a series of upcoming dates that were coming up in Australia.
This is so pointless with Peter Tork gone... No Peter, No Monkees...
We are ALL on THAT train, and it's the LAST One ! !
Wow!!! The memories.
Aren't half of them dead
Nah
I'm confused... Mike Nesmith is 'starting to become curmudgeonly'? He was the original curmudgeon, wasn't he?
do I have to?
STFU!! 1st, that was great! 2nd, I just loved them when I was growing up & my 2 neighbor friends would come over every Saturday am to watch the show. Finally saw them in concert when in college in Chapel Hill, NC! I'll be digging this album for sure!
Oh no no no!!! ❤️ 🎸
The Monkees?
Impressive!
The Monkees are still pleasing to listen to. A lot of fun and positive energy. Glad to hear they are going on tour soon.
