laughably bad

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2000

Verified Purchase

The CD starts off promisingly enough with a decent run-through of "...Clarksville", but unfortunately, it heads straight into the pits shortly thereafter. The album sounds sloppy & uninspired. Yeah, there is a "hard to come by" Dolenz/ Jones penned song, "Savin' My Love For You", but, with the group indulging in such a "we couldn't care less at this point" performance, it's basically irrelevant what song they are playing. And Davy's singing performance throughout is disastrous--his voice sounds shot--especially on "I Wanna Be Free" which at least has definite camp value. The condition of Davy's voice may very well explain why the Davy-sung Monkees staples "Valleri", "Daydream Believer", and "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" get stuffed together into a let's-get-them-out-of-the-way-quickly medley form. But the biggest abomination is the slaughtering of "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" which gets reduced from a kickass garage rock classic to pure Vegas-worthy schmaltz thanks to Dolenz's pathetically mindless, tuneless vocal antics. Those who are diehard Monkee/ Boyce & Hart fans through & through might be curious to hear it at least once to see for themselves the quality (or lack thereof) of it, but this can pretty safely go in the "trash it" pile, since there's barely any reason to even listen to it other than as a historical curiosity.

Much better than studio album

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2015

Well, I will say that this album is much better that their studio album. It's got a bunch of Monkees hits plus more. It's also much jazzier, if that's even a word, and much more enjoyable. I think this one is more towards what I thought their music was going to be. Much better!

Dolenz, Jones Boyce & Hart

Great sounding album 1/2 of the monkeys live singing there hit I Remember The Feeling. A must for all Monkey fans and about the only way to hear them as Dolenz, Jones Boyce and Hart as their studio album is nearly impossible to get.

For completists only

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2014

On the surface it looks like this should be at least a good album. It's not. To begin with the sound quality is awful & no amount of fiddling with the sound improves it. It almost sounds like this was recorded on a hand held cassette recorder. In places you can hear talking in the audience as loudly as the music. Then there is the performance itself. Davey voice is especially bad & he can barely hit the notes. In places he's hardly recognizable. All the harmonies are really off almost like they didn't have monitors. Dolenz, Jones Boyce & Hart are the front men only & Mickey doesn't play any drums & the band is a simple guitar, bass, drums & keyboard backup so the music sounds a bit thin, unlike the backup bands for later official Monkees tours which performs the music spot on. Only 1/2 the album contains any Monkees songs & half of them are part of a medley. The rest is one very good song that was a hit for Boyce & Hart ( I Wonder What She's Doin' Tonight), song written for others by B&H and a medley of oldies.The only real high point here is Keith Allison's guitar which is very good. All in all I can only recommend this album to completests & then only if you can find it for a reasonable price as it isn't really worth what a lot of people are asking these days.

Best Of All

Trying to Get Things Going

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2008

Though the band name was not (could not) be used, The Monkees are essentially brought back as former band members Mickey Dolenz - who spearheaded the comeback - and Davy Jones team with chief songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, producing a studio album and this 1976 live set from Japan.

Perhaps with a lot to prove to an entertainment industry that used the group like a concert ticket - toss it in the trash after the show is over - Dolenz and Jones solidly deliver the goods. While there is more pop in the pop rock, the timing may have been off; a few years later The Monkees had a revival during a new wave that swept pop culture, as the song, (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone, became a concert standard for any number of punk bands, including the Sex Pistols.

This band was through within a year, but briefly showed the potential of trying to get back into the music game, minus the sugary bubblegum.

Didn't live up to legend

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2006

Back when this originally was issued, it was an expensive and rare album to come by. I'd never heard it, but being quite the Monkees fan, I was anxious to hear it, and felt sorry I didn't go see them when the toured the US. Once the CD finally came out 20 years later, I realized (as happens more often than not) I didn't miss a thing. As has been stated, the album is horribly recorded - I've heard better audience tapes! The performance is pathetic. These guys should have been ASHAMED at their performance. It's no wonder the project didn't continue. It was an abomination, and an insult to the great original work they did together. A lot of times, the legend of a recording is more exciting than the recording itself. This is a prime example. Unless you can get it for free, don't bother with this one.

The first Monkees reunion

Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2004

Two of the Monkees join with their 2 former writers and producers to form a new and maybe better group. About 10 years after the show ended the public wanted the Monkees back. They toured, of all places, dinner theaters in America and stadiums in Japan. This CD was recorded in Japan. They sing many of the popular tunes they preformed and wrote in the 60's. This is a very good CD for being done live. If sales go up on this CD maybe it will convince Capitol to re-release the only album on CD this group ever did. A very fine album called...what else "Dolenz, Jones, Boyce and Hart" So please buy this cd. If you work for Capitol then please re-release the above mentioned album.
