On the Set with The Monkees

TIGER BEAT takes a trip back in time to 1966, when Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith first began bringing their wildly wacky show to the tube.

  • Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Peter Tork
    Info THE MAD HATTERS… The latest looks in headgear are modeled by Micky, Davy, and Peter.
  • Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork
    Info COWBOYS AND INDIANS… Micky and Peter put on a Wild West show for fans. Note the flower painted on Peter’s cheek. In the Sixties, that would have been called groovy!
  • Peter Tork, Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith, Micky Dolenz
    Info HAREM SCAREM… Though they fought tooth and nail, the band was forced to shoot this scene with about half a dozen pretty young women. They hated every minute of it (just kidding).
  • Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz
    Info SO SHEIK… The boys confer for a moment about whether or not they should be seen in public wearing towels on their heads.
  • Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Natasha Pavlova (Ondine Vaughn)
    Info LET’S DANCE… Davy and Micky try to figure out why a girl in a red leotard and white tutu is standing in the middle of their living room.
  • Micky Dolenz, Mike Nesmith
    Info SO VEDDY PROPER… Outlandish outfits are one of the hallmarks of Monkees humor.
  • Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith
    Info THE LAND DOWN UNDER… The boys don their best bush hats for an outdoor location shoot.
  • Davy Jones
    Info HOW NOW… Davy and his Indian pal make quite an interesting team, don’t you think?
  • Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith
    Info MUSIC MEN… Taking a break from their regular instruments, Davy, Micky, Peter and Mike play a rousing version of “Vallerie” on the harp.
