Monkees Cover “What Am I Doing Hangin’ Round” Michael Nesmith Michael Martin Murphey
Here’s a version of “Hangin’ Round” that we did a month ago or so. I’m not much for playing this song, but Joe loves it so I suffered through it. Personnel: Geoff Lucas: guitar, reluctant vocals Joe Alterio: enthusiastic pedal steel
Michael Nesmith “Tantamount To Treason” Medley Monkees
Here’s a medley we did of the songs from Michael Nesmith’s classic album “Tantamount To Treason Vol 1”. As you can see, we know some of the songs here better than others. We only recorded one take. Personnel: Geoff Lucas – guitar/vocals Joe Alterio – guitar/backing vocals
Monkees Cover The Crippled Lion Michael Nesmith
Here we are again with our first “full band” performance on Youtube. We hastily threw this together (as always) so it’s far from perfect. Just wanted to do a little experiement. BTW, I can’t find our original video of “The Crippled Lion” that some of you have re-requested. So we made this one. Personnel: Geoff Lucas – acoustic guitar, drums, vocals. Joe Alterio – bass, pedal steel guitar.
Monkees “Tapioca Tundra” Cover Song Mike Nesmith
Here’s a version of Tapioca Tundra that we did. It’s a little on the slow side and we screwed up the middle part, but who’s keeping track? 🙂 Personnel: Geoff Lucas – Acoustic Guitar, Vocals Joe Alterio – Electric Guitar, Backing Vocals
Monkees Cover “Naked Persimmon” Mike Nesmith
Here we are again, this time recreating that great scene from 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee, with the dual action Nesmiths. Personnel: Geoff Lucas – electric guitar, vocals Joe Alterio – electric guitar, vocals
MIchael Nesmith Cover “Different Drum” The Monkees Linda Ronstadt Stone Ponys
Yep, we’re finally back again. Here’s an unrehearsed version of “Different Drum” that we threw together. We’ve had several requests for this one. Personnel: Geoff Lucas – guitar, vocals Joe Alterio – pedal steel guitar
Monkees “Sunny Girlfriend” Cover Mike Nesmith
Here’s us trying our hand at the Nesmith Classic “Sunny Girlfriend”. Personnel: Geoff Lucas – 12 String Guitar, Vocals Joe Alterio – Bass Guitar, Backing Vocals
Monkees “Auntie’s Municipal Court” Cover Mike Nesmith
Here’s our take on “Auntie’s Municipal Court”, warts and all. It’s hard to pull off all those great guitar parts with only two people, but we tried to add bits of as many of them as we could. Personnel: Geoff Lucas – Acoustic Guitar, Vocals Joe Alterio – Electric Guitar, Backing Vocals
Monkees “Magnolia Simms” Cover Mike Nesmith
Okay, things got a bit outta hand and this happened. An off the cuff cover of one of the strangest, most obscure Monkees/Nesmith tunes. What can I say? We were bored! Personnel: Geoff Lucas – Guitar, Vocals Joe Alterio – Pedal Steel Guitar
Michael Nesmith Cover “Joanne” Monkees
Well, we’re back again. This time, it’s Nez’s most famous solo recording, “Joanne”. We botched up the first few attempts, but I thought it was kind of amusing, so I left that part in. A special dedication to Eric Lefcowitz, the author of the book “The Monkees Tale” is also included. Personnel: Geoff Lucas – vocals, acoustic guitar Joe Alterio – pedal steel guitar
Monkees Cover ‘Propinquity” Michael Nesmith
We’re back!
Little Darlin’- The Monkees
Another clip from 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee. I would just like to clear something up for the record. From things I have read online, there has been a lot of disregard for this 50’s part of the film and how it was thought as disrespect for the 50’s. Well in the commentary, Micky Dolenz was saying how much respect he had for the 50’s and how much it was a treat for him to be filming this part with all these legends and classic songs. So yeah. Btw i have no idea what davy is doing with his arms or who he’s trying to impersonate.

Dick Van Patten hosts this rare clip about the Monkees and what they were up to circa 1982. I don’t recognize the non-concert footage of Peter. Nice haircut Davy! Sorry about the quality.

The Monkees – “Different Drum” from “Too Many Girls”
Michael Nesmith gets his song “Different Drum” on the Monkees! To keep Davy and new stars in his eyes girl Fern from winning the contest and helping Fern’s manipulating mother, Micky, Peter and Mike enter the contest to give each other time to sabotage Fern and Davy’s act. Michael Nesmith gives another hilarious performance. The Monkees belong to Raybert Productions and Columbia Records.

Here’s another Nesmith cover that my friend Joe and I did. It breaks down in the middle, but I thought it was kinda funny, so I decided to post it anyway. Check out our page at www.myspace.com Geoff Lucas – acoustic guitar, vocals Joe Alterio – electric guitar, backing vocals.
The Monkees Letter Campaign
Please print out, sign and send the following letter. Pass this around to other people while you’re at it. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation 1290 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10104 To Whom It May Concern, I am contacting you on the grave matter of the Monkees’ induction into the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, or rather, the lack thereof. It has always been of my understanding that an artist can be inducted into the Hall of Fame twenty-five years after the release of a debut album, and for outstanding contributions to the musical genre rock n’ roll. My question is, then; where are the Monkees? Many artists, too many to name here, have been inducted having fewer accolades than the Monkees. How many outsold Elvis and the Beatles in their debut year? How many had simultaneous number one chart-toppers in the US and the UK? Only five others have ever achieved the task….and all the ones who have had albums out for twenty-five years are inductees into the Hall of Fame. They were one of the first groups to use a Moog Synthesizer on an album, achieving the task a full two years before the Beatles did it on Abbey Road and a few months before The Notorious Byrd Brothers album by the Byrds. They had the top grossing tour of 1986 for their twenty year reunion tour. Their album More of The Monkees is the twelfth biggest selling album of all time, and they released four number one albums in a one year span. To use a New York Post article from 2007 which quoted Peter Tork, some …
