June 16th

We saw Davy Jones’ sassy solo show 2 years ago and Micky Dolenz kick it at Coney Island last summer (sharing a bill with the Beach Boys + John Stamos, The Turtles, and Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere of the Raiders… wow, that was quite a mammoth oldies bash, eh?).  Both of them concerts were sirprizingly beyond solid nostalgia trips filled with that oh so sweet and manufactured Monkees sound.  Well, what would it be like then to see them play together, with Peter Tork added for plenty of good measure (Mike Nesmith took another pass on a reunion cash grab, since he’s swimming in Liquid Paper money)?  Uh, how bout helllllaa sweet awesome rad super mint???!!!  Ells yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Even though they played a bunch of songs that rewarded the more dedicated fan, Davy, Micky & Petey totally gave the people what they wanted – the greatest hits (luckily for us all, they didn’t play ‘DW Washburn’) and a whole lot of fun(ny).  Could you ask for anything more?  Well, we did want them to play ‘Porpoise Song’ for 3 hours straight, but you can’t always get what you want, right?  Well, sometimes, but not this time!

It’s amazing to think that we have only 2 Beatles left on earth, but still got all four Monkees.  Sh%t is crazy like that, but we muss celebrate the living while we still have them with us, even if they is fake Beatles.  Do yourself a favor and support old peoples like these guys and other old peoples (Brian Wilson!!!) who can still kick out the jams (although we still refuse to see Bob Dylan play)

a question for you…

what happens when The Monkeemobile loses its wheel?

Davy Jones
BB King’s
Rocktober 2nd

While former Monkee/forever a Monkee Davy Jones may not have been a leading candidate on our muss see before they die/we die list (Brian Wilson’s up next), it certainly wasn’t a losing proposition taking a ride with him before he pulls into Clarksville, on the last train! After we made the daring decision to see the pint-sized ‘#1 Teen Idol of All Time’, we soon realized that a whopping majority of the Monkees hits were hactually sung by Micky Dolenz (no wonder then that he ended up with a wicked hot wife, and spawned an even wickeder hotttt duaghter). No worries, as Davy sang all dem s’wonderful hits + sum solo shazz, and even ‘Consider Yourself’ from his Oliver! stage days, and for that 2 lovely hours, stretched a lil thin with awful…ly amazing self-deprecating humor and cornball jokes (Jewish girls only want men with circumcised penises cause they love things that are half-off!!!), we, along with all the 60 year old liz-adies, were true believers, daydream or nightdreamszzz!!!

boo-nus: bestest Davy Jones sung Moonkees tune mt EVERest and vesuvius, ‘Valleri‘ [empee3]
