Have THE MONKEES come to your town yet?
This is what a visit by the fab four is like…
Here, Davy and Micky check out the auditorium where they’ll be performing that evening. Every stage has its own special problems, which The Monkees have to work out so that their spec sound doesn’t change from city to city. If this groovy tour didn’t convince everyone that each of The Monkees plays their own instruments, then nothing ever will! The biggest problem for the guys is coming and going—without getting hurt. In each city, at every show, The Monkees have to scramble for safety. Here, Davy and Micky get ready to rush backstage. Peter, traveling in a second car, can be seen in the background. Doing two things at once, Mike works on another mike while giving the crowd a quick once-over. Both the microphone and the crowd flipped for Mike! Breathless and sweating, Peter pauses for a second on-stage, ready to give the crowd even more madness and music! If you’ve been lucky enough to see it, you know what kind of a great and groovy show they put on! Responding to the crowd, Micky grabs the microphone off the stand and flips out with another song! Micky getting ready for the action! Tambourine in hand, Davy swings out… In a different get-up, Davy keeps go-go-going! Which is really what Davy, Mike, Micky and Peter have been doing all summer! Micky gets carried away and gives it everything he’s got! This is what it would look like if you were on stage with The Monkees!
