Behind the Music
The Monkees
60 min.
This profile of The Monkees features interviews with band members and
insiders and clips and stills from their heyday. The Monkees were never
supposed to be a band. They were hired to play a pop group on TV. Critics
dismissed them as the “Pre-Fab Four,” but the Monkees had the last laugh,
as they turned out a string of hits like “Daydream Believer” and “Last
Train to Clarksville” and sold 35 million records in 1967—more than the
Beatles and the Stones combined. Mike Nesmith says, “One day a friend of
mine came to me and said, ‘Do you know how many covers of teen magazines
you were on?’ I said, ‘No,’ and he said, ‘Every single one.’ “

Sarasota, FL Concert
Just a note to say the Sarasota, FL concert on 7/28 was great. A lot of
energy (2 hours+) during the last show before the band prepares for a small=
break. Looked like the hall was sold out. It was the last night with
Natural. We saw them at the first show 3/1 in Clearwater, FL. They are much=
more polished and the crowd gave them a great response. I echo others- buy=
the live CD – It’s great!!

When I saw The Monkees at the Taj Mahal on March 17 I was so surprise=
d
when Davy started singing I Wanna Be free. Knowing that they weren’t playi=
ng
it a lot I was very happy to hear it. The part that I think you may find
interesting is that he sang it a bit differently. Davy sang it a lot slowe=
r
than the album version. Sort of like he was talking to the audience and
saying, with a semi tune, “I wanna be free…” But it was still great.
