well folks stay tuned for this is the beginning of something bigger.. I just had a conversation with my friend Pat a fellow Monkees maniac who said... it's hard to imagine with Andrew on board and whole new set list.. a new multimedia show, that this tour is going to only be a couple shows.

Agreed, Tiffany! They need to come back to Salt Lake! Micky was here with the Happy Together tour, but I want to see both of them and Mike as well if that's possible! The Monkees have a lot of Salt Lake fans!

I wish you could come to Nashville!!! Love the two of you; will always, always miss Davy, but perhaps he is onstage in spirit. I do remember a specific part of a show after he passed where Mike's guitar suddenly went out of tune, and he couldn't fix it--hand to give to someone offstage to fix it. I immediately thought, and still do, that Davy did that--still playing pranks. I always wondered if anyone else thought of this.

When will Mickey Dolenz and Peter Tork will be in Parkersburg WV? Or Charleston WV? I would love to meet them in person. I have been their biggest fan since I was in dypers. Davy Jones was my favorite Monkee. He was my dream man. He was and always be my hunk. He always look very handsome. In whatever he wore. Mickey was my 2nd favorite. Besides he was handsome. He was funny also. Then there is Mike Nesmith. He reminded me as a leader of the pack. He was very smart,funny, and very handsome.Peter Tork was a very handsome man,funny, and shy.In a way I love them all. I really wish that I could of met Davy Jones. I wouldn't know what to do. So if you could. Could you make arangments for a tour in Parkersburg WV? That would really make my day. We do have a Smoot Theater in Parkersburg. Its a very old building It was built in the early 1800's. But it is open still..

No offense, but how is this a "monkees" show. For those in Canada, or is worth seeing for sure. However, without nez or Davy, it's just not the same monkees. I love Peter, but musically, he was not an integral part of the monkees. Yes, I would still see the show.

Not musically integral? He had more to do with the musical output of the monkees than the rest of them

Peter not only played several instruments for the band; he also wrote several of their songs, including the one used at the ends of all the second season's shows----"In This Generation." Micky would tell people how Peter could take an instrument into a room and, an hour later, come out knowingnhow to play it. Peter's musical abilities donated a lot to the band's success.

It's no less a Monkees show than Changes was a Monkees album.

Joe, I think you're right that it won't be the same, just like Changes (Micky/Davy) wasn't the same, or the recent tours (Micky/Peter/Nez) weren't the same. With Davy gone, nothing will ever be the same.

Melanie that is a wonderfully worded post regarding Peter and the ever changing state of the Monkees. I totally agree with your statements..I was lucky and fortunate enough to be a first generation fan and I had a chance to rediscover my childhood band..only to realize that they could be the best band I've ever loved.I got to see the 2011 tour with Davy and subsequently every tour with Nez.. and actually all four individually in that span.. at this point I think we have to take what we can get..personally I thought the 2014 was a little bit of a letdown because the set list did not change much at all..that being said I'm so glad that at least Micky and Peter are touring for this year.. it would be hard to imagine that Mike is going to not come back for the 2016 50th anniversary...but as we all know, time is not on everybody side...that's why we have to embrace this tour.. imho..

I totally agree with Melanie and Rob here! I am a "first generation" Monkee fan also (from the age of 8 - I'm now 56)! No, it will never, ever, be the same without Davy!!! And yes, I agree - at this point, we have to take what we can get - and be glad (and grateful) that the other three are still here on this earth, and still willing and able to perform for us - (they are, after all, in their 70's)!!! And yes, Peter was very much an "integral" part of the Monkees music - absolutely!!! Long live The Monkees!!!

O could have been exactly the samthangror oa decade if nesmith didnt have his head planted firmly up his ass. always the odd one out. This and the undue praise by his diciples ...whew boy. Then to say there wss never any discontent between them was an insult to the fans. YeAh I blame nesmith for the monkees being one man short of how things use to be the last decade of Jones life since the 3 Gave it a go numerous times since the chage of the century. That and s pathetic tour manager and leeches who directed them. Lets be honest they didn't need some idiot to put together shows and play venues that alienated a huge percentage of fans *Sodival*..they've been in the business long enough to by pass these control freaks imo..and if not that tells me how dumb they are. Get on the phone contact dome oldies stations who can in turn point you to the petfect venue with local promoters. And there you have it. Look at 2012-2014...mostly the same areas toured. .the same set list...who's the idiots that scripted that? Plus fans were paying out the ass for this. Which led to the convention and another clusterbang with tork being the one to act up on this. I heard nesmith was paid north if 400k to be there. Nice reason to be a part of it mike and piss off others that probably didn't get or were worth 1/2 that..none were worth more than half of that to begin with. The all got paid handsomely for the tour I'm sure and any ckaimsit was for anything other than money is pure BS to me. It's a shame money still controls people.

I don't agree with it being billed as "The Monkees" since,I'm assuming" Mike is still a part of the band. It was different during the Changes era because Mike & Peter had left at that point.But if Mike is still a part of the band,then i feel that they should be billed as "Micky & Peter of The Monkees.

Actually, the tour in 2001/2002 that Mickey and Davy did was billed as "MonkeeMania - Starring Davy Jones and Mickey Dolenz of The Monkees" so it should be billed kind of in the same way for the new Peter/Mickey shows/tour. Only if Mike is present should they bill themselves as The Monkees IMHO.

Sure I remember you, Randi, and the Monkees Press Club. You may or may not remember me, Teresa of the Southwest Beechwood Drive Irregulars. We may have met at the numerous Monkees events during that time, but it has been a while and the past grows fuzzy. I'm also now in SF and have seen Mike and Peter (separately) at the Great American Music Hall. Would love to see Micky there with Peter as well if the venue is big enough.

Why even advertise? The venues are probably 200-300 seats with a mostly built in audience. Not real huge news and they and the monkees continue to ignore the lower midwest. Kinda pathetic. Dontwknow about you but a tork/dolenz gig isn't a huge deal even jones and dolenz didn't do well in the late 70s I believe. But again some pretty obscure venues and doesn't mean squat to most reading this if any. Going to fo it right hit some places in the eastern part of usa you haven't been to in ac long while or ever. The monkees have alwsys been kind of off the wall with venue cities. Cleveland...madison..over to Jersey area seem to be their comfort zone and it's ridiculous imo. Get new tour management.

Thank you, Susan! Geez, ...get over yourselves haters and complainers! I too hope you don't go because you're the ones that sit in your seats pouting that they didn't sing some song that they probably sang hundreds of times in other concerts that you again complained about being too expensive, too scripted, or "not the same" because Davy's not there. Davy has a valid excuse not to be there, but if things were different he would be there. I'm a first gen fan and I support these guys in any configuration they decide to entertain us in. They will always be The Monkees and that's the way it is. They embrace it - we should too. I do agree with you about the Cons though…although I sure don't blame the guys being able to get whatever money they can get paid…we're just lucky that these guys in there 70s are still performing and sharing their talents and fun with us! I support them and do everything I can to support Davy and his family too. If you're really a fan - you should too.

I am one of the "first generation” fans, but only got to see three of the guys perform together at any one time in a couple different concerts, never all four. But one amazing thing did change in 2011--- I got to go to his solo show and meet the man I had adored since I was twelve years old, Peter Tork. He was so kind, so nice, and so gracious to me, I fell in love all over again. That was my one-time miracle, I thought. But then... I got to meet him four more times over the last few years! Also met Micky just this last December. And the added bonus has been that, when they see you several times, you sort of become part of the extended clan! I now get to say hi to Peter's wife Pam; Micky's sister Coco; Wayne Avers the backing band's leader; Rich Dart the drummer; Andrew Sandoval, who helps put some of their shows together and who wrote the biography book on the Monkees; Dave and Jennifer Alexander, who are also in the band. Having the gift of getting to meet all these lovely people and find them to be real and so very nice, not just celebrities up in the clouds, has been a gift in my life I could never have anticipated. And it has been so amazing because of the lovely way these people treat the fans. So there is your answer for how they continue to fill venues wherever they go----it is not just the music that is loved, it is these wonderful people who have dedicated their careers to entertaining their fans. Makes them all pretty special to me!

Need to make a correction to one of my earlier posts----Peter's song used at the end of the Monkees TV show's second season was actually titled "For Pete's Sake." That is what I get for trying to post when I am half asleep. Sorry!

From what I hear the Monkees are supposed to be laying a little low for 2015 and not do a lot together. They're supposed to be gaving something huge planned for 2016 for the 50th anniversary.

Well at least half of us are positive here.. we have what we have we get what we get... it's hard for me to say this but I've come to this realization.. we have to be thankful and grateful that the Monkees came back in 2011.. literally out of nowhere.. I happen to be watching Antenna TV where I saw them I think for the first time since Saturday mornings and also when they first appeared on Monday nights 1966 I was 6.. what made me sit up in my chair.. I just couldn't realize how many beautiful songs they had sung and yes written.. I kind of overlooked him for all these years.. only to hear on my local radio that they are coming close to where I live in Connecticut... a dream come true.. even though it was Peter Davy and Micky it worked for me... I was hooked and I have subsequently seen every tour since then... let's stop the carping and the harping... they're definitely not too many bands and their members around today from 1966 67 still singing and playing..

I would love it if you can come to Parkersburg WV. They can proform in the Smoot Theater. The building was built in the 1800's. And it's still doing business. I love all of them. from the oldest to the youngest. Michael Nesmith, then Mickey Dolenz, Peter Tork then Davy Jones. I know all of their Birthdays. Almost everything about them. I do wished that I could of met Davy Jones. But the good Lord had his reasons. And I am not judging him. I love all of their songs.I really pray to the good Lord that I will to be able to meet Mike,Mickey and Peter.Thats my wish. thank you so much. And God Bless you all.
