Featuring live performances from the duo's concerts in 2019, the CD edition is currently available for pre-order, but only in the United Kingdom.

Interesting. I wonder if tracks 26-29 are technically bonus tracks.

So it would seem! I noticed the Amazon UK listing doesn’t have those four extra songs.

Maybe those will be Rhino exclusives? Downloads? I am just happy that “Porpoise Song” and “Good Clean Fun” will be included, in some capacity.

Agreed. It should be easy to make a custom song order that reflects the true concert flow.

Hi Scott,

The listing on the Rhino page is not accurate.

There will be 25 songs on the final product and no bonus track options.

It's still a butt-ugly cover.

Andrew Sandoval said it's a photo taken by Coco - which I believe. Before I found out I thought it looked like a blurry photo from a smartphone. It looks like a bootleg album.

If you go through Coco’s Facebook photos you can find the original photo (which is a blurry cell phone picture). What’s sad is not only how bad the photo is but how bad the typography on the cover is. What I think is likely is that Coco also designed the cover and dumped her Facebook photo into Word. The reason being is that the photo on her FB is actually of better quality. Still terrible but it has more pixel information. If she dumped it into word or PowerPoint (and not a professional design software) those programs would instantly make the photo more low-res. It ducks this is what the cover is when Andrew thinks the audio is some of the best stuff he’s ever worked on. Too bad the cover doesn’t promote the content too wel.

Will we know when and where the songs were recorded.. 18' or 19' at some point..

Agreed re the cover ..looks like a bootleg scanned cover.

I think adding this to their catalogue overall is great. Somehow maybe we could get a 2011 12 13 live comp ,, but somehow I don't think we ever will..

Andrew said on Facebook today that the album was recorded in March and June of '19. The wording was a little unclear but it sounded like the March shows were towards the end of the U.S. leg.

You gotta figure those remaining four songs will show up on an RSD 10" or a deluxe edition at some point.

And yeah, the cover's no great shakes but if it sounds as good as the FNB/Troubadour album, I'll be happy!

An RSD release, which will mean a scant number of copies made, and probably just on vinyl with no CD or digital options, would be a steaming load of S***!!

Some of the songs they left off are inexcusable, but if they do bonus tracks that not everyone who buys the CD (or vinyl) can easily obtain will be one big middle finger to the fans. They’d better not go that route.

It’s not available at Amazon Australia! Amazon us and uk don’t ship to Australia. Where can I buy it?

Why not a Blu-ray release? I have a GREAT boot DVD of a full 2018 show - excellent performance by Mike, Micky and the whole band. It would be great to add a pro-shot exquisite video/audio companion release .

Maybe they'll film the coming shows (maybe say, Seattle?!)

Frodis forever!

I'm sorry, I'm just fascinated at how that album cover passed committee. It's like a low quality cheap cel phone photo- which it likely is- but seriously, there was nothing crisper and more iconic than THAT?

I saw the 2012 tour and the best show in terms of playing and vocal strength was the Beacon Theater show. It was chilling and amazing. The 2019 Beacon show was still good but it was notable that age was creeping up, as you'd expect. I'm guessing it's easier to approve and promote recordings of this tour without involving Pete's estate. Note that I do not mean to infer they're doing that in any malicious or vengeful way at ALL, just that the paperwork and such would be too complicated. And it makes more promotional sense to promote something somewhat more recent...

I was looking forward to buying the vinyl but after seeing the cover of it i am in two minds why not have a pic of mike and micky and the compleate line up of their. great backing band with coco and mikes sons and c,link they are the heart of the sound mike and micky are the leaders, looking forward to the vinly not that cover,

Since everyone is talking about and anticipating this new live album, I would like to see a live boxed set of 3 to 4 cds from 1966 to 2020, or at least from 2011 to 2020. This would include all four Monkees. It should include most of the hits and all of the deepcuts that they preformed these last several years that have not been included on a live release before. Including different versions of their hits like Sweet Young Thing from the 2012 tour and also include all the acoustic sets throughout the years. I would pay a fortune for something like that. It would be like they were all together again. Just a fantasy of mine.

Actually, I kinda like the cover. It indicates movement, spontaneity, stage perspective and features an enthusiastic audience (all of us!) rendered anonymous by the live-action blur. Never mind the "kinda" for the plea is in defense!
