The Monkees may have taken the last train to splitsville, since Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Davy Jones are touring separately in 2004 and have no immediate plans to reunite. (Mike Nesmith remains off the road.) This 2001 live CD provides a good representation of the latter day Monkees. Davy Jones is outstanding on "Daydream Believer," while Micky Dolenz especially shines on "I'm A Believer." Peter Tork takes the lead vocal on the song "Can You Dig It?" He also shares lead vocals with Micky Dolenz on "For Pete's Sake." The backing band provides solid support throughout the concert, especially on the jazzy song "Goin' Down." While not an essential purchase for the casual Monkees' fan, this concert is enjoyable to listen to, and brings back pleasant memories of the Monkees in their heyday.
The Monkees hated each other by the time they filmed/recorded this tour. Don't believe me? WATCH THE DVD! Davy is obviously drunk during the concert but pulls off a magnificent performance. Maybe it was better that he was in a happy mood? Peter looks pissed off which oddly makes him seem cool and collected. Micky is flying as always but the thing that really struck me was the amazing sound quality of this CD coupled with a ballsy choice in song selection. Why didn't I give this 5 stars? There is a Live: Extended Versions album of this concert that features a mellowed out version of Torks' "Do I Have To Do This All Over Again" that has been left out of this album. On my IPOD, I include it! Highlights of this CD/TOUR = Micky on drums and lead vocals singing "Mary, Mary", Peter Tork's chops on "Long Title" and "Can You Dig It", and Davy's crooning on "It's Nice To Be With You."
I had owned the DVD from this concert for quite a while and now with the CD version can listen to it on the go. I really enjoy the version of Mary Mary on this cd.
