Yes, You're Right, They Were Just As Much of A Real Band As Any Professional Bands Out There,,,,, They made their albums as any other band,,,,, And of course They Had Their Own T.V. Series Called "" The Monkeys"" That My Brother and I Watched Every Day They Came On,,, * Remember when the show came on they were using the Theme Singing HEY HEY WE'RE THE MONKEES !!!!
I have zero respect for the big wigs at The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. The Monkees deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. They have definitely earned that right! Rest in Peace Davey and Peter! You guys are sorely missed by us all. 💔
As much as I have enjoyed these gentleman from the golden age of 1966. The fact that they became a serious band was by accident. I am not sure if the producers of the show ever seriously considered this madcap show would produce a "musical group" and that they would still be relevant in the year 2022. Check the other TV shows of that era.
@@lloydkline3265 what is crazy about it is that he didn't even know how to play the drums when he started with the Monkees. He learned real quick though! Davie Jones played the drums but they thought he was to short to be in the back playing the drums.
Hard to believe they were just thrown together for a tv show. They were one of the best music acts of their time with a number of hits that will live on forever.
Whoever clicked dislike can eat a wet yak... This was a great performance. I appreciate good music regardless of own race and genre preferences.. These dudes were the truth!!! Hey, hey for the Monkees ♥️
I wholeheartedly agree! Apart from his humour, wit, timing, he was a superb vocalist. The Monkees certainly lived up to their theme tune and spread a lot of harmless fun.
Dolenz is a true showman! I remember when I was young he was my idol & still is! The monkees are the best ! Never get sick of their stuff!! Love It!!!!
Say what you want.. STILL great after all these years...timeless classic performed by our answer to the British invasion back in the 60's..LONG LIVE THE MONKEES..!!!

They belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They outsold and outdid most of the acts in the Hall. The Monkees are legendary and one of the greats. That is a fact.
+Joanne Ber They did play their own instruments, and they didn't play their own instruments. They were just one of those bands that sometimes played their own instruments. They didn't play them at the beginning because they weren't allowed, and then at some point Micky stopped playing instruments because he wasn't a pro at drumming, a mere novice, even though he could play well when he put his mind to it. And then Davy stopped playing instruments because he had less contact with music than the others, and he (along with Micky) were more actors than they were musicians.
They were musicians, basically Kirchener ( who was a complete ahole I hear,) wanted studio musicians bc he wanted to control the sound with 'his sound'. He created the myth they couldn't play, they could. Mike was incredibly talented, he produced a number of now famous ppl and basically created the idea of what became the original MTV ( he had a show on Nickelodeon that was the inspiration;they asked him to run MTV but he wanted to do music). They sounded and played great. In 1967 the Monkees outsold the Beatles and stones combined.
I cut out pictures of these guys from magazines and taped them all over the walls in my bedroom, I was 12, that was a long time ago and I still love them.
@@danfoss1535We Can't Be As Old As The Guys On The Group If We Were Kids Watching Them, LOL !!!!!!!! But we are not young in our Sixties !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounded like vintage Monkees! That was 20 years ago now. It was sad for me personally when Davy, then Peter passed away. They were big for me as a 10-11 year old pre teen. I had all their LPs
This video just popped up on RUclips for me and in addition to the fun and a much needed smile. I see Peter on bass again. RIP Davy and Peter. You represent a kinder and softer time in the World. We need that.
Everytime I hear them sing I’m immediately walking into my teen years and everything was so simple back then, so beautiful and this music takes me back to my first preferences in music. I loved this. Still do. Seriously the z60’s and 70’s was where it was at. ☮️
Their "good" songs were good because Tommy Boyce, Bobby Hart, and Neil Diamond wrote most of them and studio musicians recorded the instrumentals - except for Mike Nesmith who was an actual musician.
They ALL Were Musicians, They Were a Professional Singing Group Like All Others AND They Did Write Some of Their Songs *ekos012*,, You don't know who the MONKEES were I See !!!!!!!!
Laughing those three always made laugh the hardest. Peter was the best at making me laugh. Good that we can still see them thanks to video recordings like this.
I know exactly what you mean. I'm only 26, but I fell in love with them after watching their show as a young girl. My dad had every episode on VHS. It made me feel like I really knew them when they were first starting out.
whitney Hi Whitney. Loved your post. Thank you so much for sharing. Take care of yourself and your Dad and all of your family and stay safe. God Bless You! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐💐🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
On this day in 1967 {February 5th} the Monkees' second studio album, 'More of the Monkees', peaked at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart, it remained in the top spot for a total of eighteen weeks... Two tracks from the album made the Top 100 chart, "I'm A Believer", peaked at #1 for 7 weeks, while the record's B-side, "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone", reached #20... Davy Jones passed away at the age of 66 on February 29th, 2012... May he R.I.P. * The quartet knocked themselves out of the top spot on the Top 200 Albums chart, their debut album, 'The Monkees', had been #1 for thirteen weeks, which means the quartet held the #1 spot for thirty-one consecutive weeks...
Remember that not too many drummers were also lead vocalists..Mickey is a true musician in that rite..age hasn't taken away the pure power and dynamics that he has always given us ..God bless them all
Brian Connelly was their lead singer, but all the guys in Sweet had good voices, including their drummer - Mick Tucker, and all sang lead on at least a few of their songs.
One of my favorite Monkees songs of all time! I never really watched any of these late night tv shows, so thank you & long live Micky Dolenz & Peter Tork; R. I. P. Davy Jones & Be strong after retirement Mike Nesmith!
Just caught the Austin leg of their Farewell Tour. From Thursday's performance, I'd say that Mickey still has one of the gutsiest voices in rock and roll. A lot of great energy too, including playing Timpany drums.
I was fortunate enough to see the Peter York band in Massachusetts years ago and what a great night it was. The Monkees were far more than just the Pre-fab Four
I first saw this performed on the tv series that were rerunning in the very early '80s. I learned at the time that the Monkees were loved by my mom when they initially came out. At about 9 years old I tried to convince my mom that Davy was the cutest Monkee, not Peter! Looking at this 2001 performance gave me a whole new perspective on the group. They were much, much older but really did that song so much better than when they were younger. I am encouraged that maybe with age comes wisdom that can elevate an understanding of a song, book, painting, whatever the medium may be.
+Theresa Champagne - He sounds more raspy now than he did back in the day, and his voice doesn't sound exactly the same, I just don't know how to describe the differences, but other than that you're right.
+Raymond Castagnaro - I can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly knew that. In-fact he probably would have been better off if they made him the rhythm guitarist of the group. Then they might have had a chance of playing together as an actual band longer.
They should have got Eddie Hoh to play the drums and let Mickey get out front. It's unfair to have to have such a fantastic singer hampered by having to play the drums.
The Raiders did it first, but AFAIK never released it as a single. Similar to Santana having the hit with Black Magic Woman, but it was originally a Fleetwood Mac song, written by Peter Green.
I've always loved the Monkees and saw a great deal on Amazon. Their first five albums for $18. Had it saved for a few months but as soon as Peter passed on I grabbed it. Absolutely superb pop rock psychedelia.
Here’s how I rate The Monkees: 1 - Peter 2 - Micky 3 - Davy 4 - Mike I like Peter’s deep, baritone voice, although the poor guy didn’t sing lead on a lot of their recordings. I put Mike last because he sounds too country and hillbilly more than pop rock
They played the cards they got dealt and honestly their music is never bad. Anyone saying so is lying through their teeth. This is the best rendition of this song ever. Sad Mike was not involved in it.
Wow I can't get over this. They should have riffed another three minutes. Probably the best post-60's version I have heard, the chick on the board controlled it just right, though I prefer the older instruments. Amazing Mick you sounded twenty-five, thank you for giving it your all boys when our country needed the return of out of control, in your face American talent tellin' em all off. That's rock n roll baby.
I HEARD THE BEATLES THEY WERE OKAY BUT EVERYTHING WAS LOVE SONG LOVE SONG IN THE BEGINNING. WHEN THE MONKEYS CAME OUT AND I HEARD STEPPENSTONE I WAS HOOKED I LEARNED EVERY WORD TO EVERY SONG I BOUGHT ALL THE TRADING CARDS THE PICTURES ON THE BACKHOE MATCHED UP I HAD EVERY ONE OF THEM AND MY BUDDY DOWN THE STREET HAD TO TELL HIS LITTLE BROTHER AROUND SO TO KEEP HIM CALM I GAVE HIM ALL THE BANANA GUM HE WAS SO HAPPY HE DO ANYTHING WE NEEDED HIM TO DO JUST TO BEHAVE REST IN PEACE MY MONKEYS LIVE ON IN MY MIND FOREVER IN HEART
Thanks for sharing this with us, it's sad that some of the Monkees are no longer around. Stepping Stone had always been my favorite song. This definitely was a song that defined the 60's and the song that was different than the rest. If one day they were to bring the Beatles, Doors, and CCR back than definitely they'd need to bring back the Monkees. All the great music took place in the 60's. This was a spectacular performance.
Wild to think when I was a kid I got this song on a record from the back of a cereal box I believe. I would play the heck out of this record and also watched the show. Fun times and fun memories!

Yes, Me and my older brother ( He is 1 year 5 months older ) watched the Monkeys on T.V. Every Day They Came On !!!!!!!
I know they spelled their group name with ""MONKEES , But I just used the word "Monkeys" !!!!
So grateful The Monkees were a part of my childhood............

Yeah I'm so does Foreigner
Truth Indeed
Monkees was Mickey!
ABSOLUTELY!!! The Monkees were awesome! Sadly there's only Monkee left and Micky Dolenz is keeping them alive!
They didn't even play that music on their first albums they don't even play steppin song the way they used to
If they're not worthy of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, they should close it down.
No-one should be in that sham.
100% agree
It is a shame we only have one Monkee left. RIP Michael.
Mickey is one of the most recognized voices in rock. This performance is fantastic. God bless Davey and Peter, you are missed.
Mike too
Check out Scorpions' new song Peacemaker, Klaus is 73

And now, We're missing Mike 😢 .. [December 2021]
Damn so underated--need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...Amazing
Unfortunately the RRHF sucks! It doesn't mean much anymore. But yes I agree.
There are bands that are already there with less time, and The Monkees were not included yet, that are older, this is terrible and unfair

Mickey doesn’t get the respect he deserves for his voice. Very good singer.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I agree with that
really good rock singer, and very distinct voice. always loved his singing
Yes he had a winderful voice.
I loved the Monkees. Brilliant entertainers.
In the old videos Micky played the drums
@@lloydkline3265 what is crazy about it is that he didn't even know how to play the drums when he started with the Monkees. He learned real quick though! Davie Jones played the drums but they thought he was to short to be in the back playing the drums.

You have to be kidding, right???
I have all their albums (that I know of). But most of their songs were written by other, more talented, songwriters, like Carole King.
Actually, I suspect the Beatles still hold the record as the best rock band. They certainly do in my mind.
Right on! Nesbit went to my HS, TJ 😂

I don't disagree , however these vocals were obviously pre-recorded and lip-synched.

Saw them live. They can really play contrary to popular belief. Especially Peter. Quite competent on the guitar.
And on keyboards. There's a video of him playing a Bach two part invention. ruclips.net/video/CdbYLIxnAF0/видео.html

He was not able to tune up the tamborine.
Mickey Dolenz has always a been great singer. Still sounds like he is 25. Wish he was singing from behind drum kit.

Great voice!
+Theresa Champagne - He sounds more raspy now than he did back in the day, and his voice doesn't sound exactly the same, I just don't know how to describe the differences, but other than that you're right.
The thing is he had a smooth young voice. Very unique. He is still good but has a deeper mature voice

Paul Revere and the Raiders also did a great version of this song. ‘She’ and ‘Words’ have made a few of my playlists from The Monkees.

The 1st real " Punk Rock" song, lyrics, music and attitude ahead of time.
