Vocal deconstruction isn't the best but it illustrates the harmonies in enough detail

I thought chip douglas played on bass
That’s what I’ve always read. Maybe our video deconstructionist has a more updated personnel list?
@@cedarwaxwing3509 I could be mistaken. I simply used the personnel listed under the video description of the official video on The Monkees' channel.
@septylite sometimes those are wrong but I'm almost positive it's chip
@@longandwindingroad According to the Monkees sessions book: Chip played the acoustic and bass
@@HOLLYWOODHICKdamn, should I bother even watching this? One of my fave tunes.
My God Mike and Micky always sound so amazing when they harmonize together.
Love this song! When I was 16 I thought it was some classic 70s song that everybody had already heard. I even asked my Mom and she said she never heard it before. lol Definitely in my top 5 Monkees songs.
Definitely in my top ten favorite Monkees songs.
Me too. It seemed to not get the love it deserved. Should've been a single.
Dolenz is a great singer
A revelation on just how good these guys were, and this was recorded while they toured the country during the summer of '67! Love those Nesmith and Dolenz harmonies. Thanks for posting.
So much going on in this track
No wonder it sounds great.
💯 You're right, it is very layered! One of my favorite songs of all time.
One of my absolute favorites. Thank you!!!!!
I love hearing just Peter on piano/keyboards. Some of the intricacies get lost with all the other accompaniment.
I'm listening through my computer speakers and that bass is making something in my kitchen vibrate!
I’ve got a spare pair of near field monitors temporary as my living room speakers, and event though they aren’t designed for proper listening outside of the little ‘triangle’ listening ‘zone’, they are killing it while I’m in the kitchen. That bass is amazing.
This song was on my mind when I was finishing up the yard work today. And now here it is in my RUclips queue. I'm finishing up my taxes tonight, but when Micky joined the nekkid vocals after 14:00 I just started reflexively singing along with Mike and Micky on a higher third-part harmony line as I was sorting and stacking forms. You state that the "vocal deconstruction isn't the best", but it was good enough -- I never had a chance to sing virtual a cappella with any of the Monkees before, and that was fun.
Brilliant. I feel like I'm AT the session.
Love the Monkees. I wish they hadn’t been treated like a tv act. They were good musicians.
They didn’t play on their two most successful albums.
@@nicmart Who sang for them?
@@mtamech535 Nobody. How does that just singing make them "good musicians"?
@@nicmart So you're telling me that singing alone doesn't make a good magician?
@@mtamech535 Not unless you agree that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a fantastic assemblage of musicians. Just singing makes you a good singer, not a good musician, as everyone but you seems to comprehend.
The Oxford Dictionary has two definitions, neither related to just singing.
1. someone who is skilled in playing music, usually as a job
2. someone who plays a musical instrument
When they Monkees had strong ratings, they didn't play the instruments, which is why they were treated as a TV act. Over decades they made many millions of dollars, so I'm not sure why it matters to you.
i adore this song. thank you!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely incredible!
Great work! Just another example of Peter's expert keyboard work, Micky's fantastic harmony and vocal range and Chip's production and musician skills...a great team!!
Exactly! Really illustrates what Nez said, that Peter was the best musician by on order of magnitude!!!
That's chip on bass
And also Micky Dolenz on that first drum track. Eddie was added on that second track to strengthen Micky's performance
I'd read the same. However... This seems a bit tight to be Micky's drumming.
I believe that since the first album/live shows until this one, Micky may have evolved a lot@@tomlebudzinski7716
No chance that’s Micky in track 1. His bass drum work could not approach that level at that time. That’s fast Eddie Hoe for sure!
Great deconstruction though.
Thank you so very much for this. This is one of my favorite songs from PAC&Jltd and the production layering is fascinating. It was always obvious that -for some reason - there were two different drum performances overlain on top of each other; thanks for separating them. And I’ve always wanted to hear a good isolate of Mickey’s backing vocals. Thank you again!
Love this track.
I added the "classical guitars + piano" to my playlist. What a beautiful song for any drive!
Thank you
Beautiful!
There seems to be another voice there, I think Micky added and extended ah and ooh note at a couple of the end of the summer ‘s. Hard to explain , and yes it’s Micky on first drum track and Chip on bass.
Omg YESSSS
Can't seem to like this more than once.... 🤔
The Monkees did the "soft hippie" anthems better than anyone.
How many tracks did they have to work with in 67? 8, more? Funny when I was first trained for studio and live sound engineering in the 90’s I had 48 and on the oldest board 24. They must’ve been doing tons of bouncing! Wow has ev😢changed today! Still good to know older ways when technology craps out the show must go on.
This would’ve been a good range for Peter to sing.
I could never understand what Micky was saying at 14:03. Any ideas?
Pretty sure it’s “Ahhhhhhh…he throws it all away”
I don't think that's a harpsichord. Sounds like a Hohner D-6 clavinet.
You're right, that is most definitely a clavinet. Not sure why I even put that
Please, what stem software did you use?
I used mvsep/.com and Audacity
@@septylite I hope you do more of these. Awesome!!
Wow what a sheer delight ❤️
The Monkees became better then the Beatles !
Thanks again! My re-mix using the tracks: ruclips.net/video/grJaB4RRfPk/видео.html
