In 2014 the former president of The Monkees Unofficial Fan Club (published in the early 1980s), Michael Luciano, passed along images and newspaper articles to the Live Almanac from his private collection that documented The Monkees' appearance at Curtis Hixon Hall on August 1, 1969. Yesterday, in honor of the 50th anniversary of that particular concert, I shared the post from 2014 on the Live Almanac's Facebook page, which generated considerable attention.

And now, Michael has been kind enough to provide the Live Almanac with more exclusive coverage of this show, starting with this piece originally published on August 7, 1969 in the St. Petersburg Times:

Also from the August 7, 1969 issue of the St. Petersburg Times is a photo of Micky Dolenz performing in Tampa:

And thanks to Michael, we can enjoy this wonderful photo of Davy Jones onstage with the band that supported The Monkees in 1969, Sam & The Goodtimers:

Finally, here's a photo of fans and the crowd assembled at Curtis Hixon Hall:

Thank you very much to Michael Luciano for sharing these fantastic pieces from his collection with The Monkees Live Almanac!!

Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith continue their current tour of Australia tomorrow with a show at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, Australia. Micky and Peter Tork performed at the Palais in late 2016, and the venue was also the source of Michael's 1978 album, Live at The Palais.

And for those inquiring, the set lists for all shows Down Under after opening night in Christchurch, New Zealand on June 8 have remained the same. (Check out the Christchurch set list here.) Thanks to Andrew Sandoval for confirming these details!

Hey hey we're the Monkees: 'champagne is as rock and rolly as we get now':

"With Micky and me, it was love at first sight," says Nez. "We just clicked and we'd always be making silly jokes. We'd joke that one day we'd do the Mike and Micky Show – and here we are."
