This highly anticipated concert found the original quartet playing their first full length show together since late 1968. Michael had joined the reunited trio once before, but only for the two song encore performance at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, California in 1986. This sold-out concert coincided with the dedication of the Monkees’ star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well with a Monkees convention that was being held in Los Angeles at the same time.
For this concert, the set list was slightly re-arranged to allow for Mike’s appearance in the second half of the show. Two of Mike’s solo hits, “Joanne” and “Cruisin,” were added to the set, as was “Papa Gene’s Blues.” During Mike’s appearance, Micky played the drums on “Cruisin.” Mike played the guitar for most of his time on stage.
