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
The Monkees feat. Richard Kiel – “Good Clean Fun” – ’67
The boys knock heads with “Jaws” – from the Bond movies.

MIchael Nesmith Cover “Different Drum” The Monkees Linda Ronstadt Stone Ponys

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.

Monkees Valleri Mono Version
A video I did up to the mono version of the Monkees song “Valleri” which is on their Birds, Bees And Monkees album. As you can see I used clips from the ep where Peter falls in love with a girl named Valleri who has an uppity boyfriend. This song would’ve been great in that ep but they hadn’t recorded it yet. Still, Forget That Girl was a nice song in that ep. This video is dedicated to the late Tommy Boyce, the late John Lennon and the lateGeorge Harrison. Amen. As always my videos are in tribute to my late husband Mike Harrell. I love you. Amen.
