As a Professional Musician since before The Monkees came into our lives, this was very much like watching a documentary of our entire generations movement through the years. So many of us are gone now, and Micky is the only Monkee left. I hope that everyone who sees this will realize just how quickly it all passes by, and make the Most of Every Minute, because there are only so many of them, and when they're gone, so are we.
So overdue to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Monkees were more important to entertainment than anyone knew at the beginning. Their longevity over generations says it all.
Beatles Girl how cool to be a 60's kid . We lived it we help make it and here we are 2020 . Another great band due north from Winnipeg , Manitoba to be exact Burton Cummings & the Guess Who . When I hear No Sugar Tonight / New mother Nature I sing it loud ! Be well Beatles Girl . Paul's classic Yesterday will never become old .
i guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Juan Tobias thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Monday, May 6, 2019--6:11 pm CST I'm also 65 years old. I have loved the Monkees since 1966 I would watch their TV show every Monday night on NBC. I have all of their records, vinyl and CD. I have the TV show on DVD, and some other Monkee videos. I was saddened when Davy Jones passed away (December 30, 1945--February 29, 2012). But I continued to play their records and CDS. I was saddened again when Peter Tork passed away (February 13, 1942--February 21, 2019). All the Monkee videos You Tube shows always bring back memories. Terry Marvin (Dallas, Texas, USA)
September 26, 1966 - the date of the original airing of the 3rd episode of the Monkees. It was also my 10th birthday. To me, that made me one member of the show's original target audience. Loved them then, still do. My favorite member was always Peter and over the past 53 years or so, I had the chance to meet him a handful of times. Losing him earlier this year was truly a sad occasion.
This was a group who knocked the Beatles out of the top spot on the chart at one point during the 60s run. Not only did they do that, but they outsold many of the legendary artists of that time who are in the RHOF. The Monkees represent the culture, vibe, and history of one of the most influential decades of our time as much as any other group of iconic musical acts of the 60s. The intrinsic value of their medioric rise to become a pop culture phenom is in itself enough for them to garner admission. The fact that they had chart topping hits is the bonus that cements it. They did something no one has ever done before. They went from being manufactured tv story about a group to becoming a real chart topping act. Indeed and I say it again, pop culture icons. Not only is the tv show one of our classic gems, but their music still lives as a treasure to all who continue enjoy the nastalgia of the decade of change which is the 60s. Mickey, Mike, Davy and Peter. Four guys who for a half an hour every week entertained us with comedy and their voices. Four guys who became more than what was expected. Four musician/actors who became icons. Beloved by all, including the Beatles who gave their seal of approval long ago. That alone should say it all. As for the RHOF, they only recently admitted the GoGo's. Like them or not the significance of the first all female self contained bands ommission by the RHOF for so long tells you all you need to know. It's a total disgrace and a travesty that they have not been admitted yet. And now there is only one left. Let's pray that the one surviving member will be able to experience what his comrades never did and that he will get to carry the tourch lighting the way for the other 3 to see the honor, love and respect by an industry that they helped to make strong...
Oh the years that have gone by & to the first generation of Monkee fans it is like it was just yesterday . I'm 65 year's old Hey Hey I'm a Monkee fan & I'm just going to Monkee around .
The monkees will forever be one of my very favorites. I was obsessed as a kid after discovering the reruns and I’ve been a huge fan ever since. I own every album on vinyl and cd. I have head and 33 1/3 and both seasons of the show. They are the greatest.
How sad to hear that Peter Tork passed away of a rare tongue cancer today. I’m going to dedicate my whole day to the Monkees and watch as much TH-cam footage as I can. I was a fan right from the start...was six when the first episode was aired. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO.
I was very sad to hear that Peter had passed away. I was 14 when they first came out. I think of all of them quite often...... but especially Peter Tork
Oh what a wonderful walk down memory lane!! I was a teenager when they hit the small screen!! 😊 Instant big Davy crush!! Never missed a episode!! They came to my town and saw them in concert!!! It was unreal for a teenager to see them in person!! 🤗 All these years it is absolutely disgusting that they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!! That needs to change immediately!! 😔 It's amazing how fast time flies!! I'm an old woman now and we have lost three of them!!! 😢💔 RIP Davy 💕 RIP Peter 💕 RIP Mike 💕 Thank you for all the entertainment and great music!! 🎤🎼🎹🥁🎸
Loved The Monkees and their music more than The Beatles - which kind of made me an outcast & renegade among my friends from childhood through the decades. I was madly in love with one or another - Davy the adorable one whose sole picture hung on my mirror with pics of the group when I was a kid, Micky - the funny one whose voice was fabulous, Peter - the cute, sweet one who in later years I learned how talented and funny he really was, and Mike - whose hat I thought was ridiculous, but he made up for it with his smooth voice & that wink of his as he played that would make me melt. It's too bad I never got to see them play in concert. I was so sad & cried when Davy died. However, I was barely inconsolable after Peter passed. May they both be at peace. Ty for this video. It brought back many happy memories, and I enjoyed seeing snippets of them in later years. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lot of happy childhood wrapped up with these guys! My husband took me to see them in Oklahoma City at the OKC Zoo of all places! Not sure what year. Sometime early '90's would be my guess. There I was front row screaming DAVY at the top of my lungs! Had a blast!!
I'm glad I got a chance to see Davy perform live once. He was in Addison, TX performing in an outdoor public concert Memorial Day weekend 2006 when I saw him. I remember most that he performed "Daydream Believer" (probably his finale) and "Girl", which he sang for "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" (his quote) on THE BRADY BUNCH. RIP, Davy & Peter.
love the monkees then,now and forever .they were broth toghter to make the world shine with peace and love .RIP davy. thank,s for sharing watch they every sat on fetv 9-11 had a very merry monkees chirstman this year got there christman album . watch them and listen to them all day .why did it take so long. bless the monkees
I was besotted with Micky. I still think he's incredible. I was a kid in the 60s when I first started loving the Monkees. As I've gotten older, I realize I am more in tune personality wise with Michael Nesmith, but Micky is still my fave. After the death of Peter, I have been watching all the old episodes of the Monkees and interviews with them. I'm obsessed all over again. RIP Davy and Peter. Michael and Micky, please live to be 100.
@@lonerose99 I am like you, also in that I just cannot BELIEVE that Davy and Peter are gone. Peter was my favorite. He had been a very accomplished musician. I realized that even when I was young ( teenager ). So was Mike!
Awesome job Fred. I was born in 1957 and your videos bring back so many memories. Thanks for all your hard work. So obvious it is a labor of love. I play Monkees songs for my 1 year old granddaughter and we play the tambourine just like Davy. Their music is just as fresh today as it was 50 years ago.
I bought 2 of the the Good Times CDs for my home and car. My grandchildren loved it so much, I purchased 2 more for them. Aren't we blessed to pass on our favorite group and their music!
I'm 62 year old and boy this wonderfull group of my youth taken me back to wonderfull years of listening to music of the Monkeey's and enjoying the music of the Beatles and dave Clarke Five and oh my God what an amazing unbelievable time to grow up makes me laugh and cry for the people of past music of my own life that has sadly gone away from us to sing up above in the stars of the sky to make all our angels happy and god bless the music they gave us xx
My gosh this takes me back!! When my son was 5 or 6 and they had reruns of the Monkees. While the intro. was playing I started singing the Hey, Hey We're the Monkees. My son turned around and said 'you know this song?!' I had to explain that this TV show was something I watched when I was a teenager. Was he shocked! LOL
Oh man that was good 👍! So much there id never seen. When Peter started tearing up over Davys passing that just got to me. I lost it. So sad. Just so so sad when Peter and Mike passed too. But wonderful to still have the great Micky Dolenz with us and hopefully for a long long time, more touring and music to come. Love 💘 Mickys voice.
I'm so happy to get to watch them all again. Then with Peter's passing in February 2019 and with the news today of Mike's passing..this is wonderful to be able to watch. Thanks for posting this even though it's been over 4 yrs ago. This is a beautiful timeline of their lives entertaining us all.
I, too, grew up with the Monkees music and zany tv show, and I have such fond memories of that cherished time!! RIP DAVY, MIKE AND PETER!! FOREVER ETCHED IN THE CLASSIC MUSIC ARCHIVES ........KEEP ON ROCKIN, MICKY!!!!
Watching the reunion clips is all good . Something tells me the guys made more money the 2nd time around . This reunion deal for so many bands from the 60's & 70's era has lasted far longer then their original run . The Eagles are the poster band for that .With the Monkees they came along at the right time when there was so much change happening in the country . If you grew up in the 1960's we all lived through it . After all this has been called the most turbulent decade . That half hour tv show took us away from some of that making the magic of this group named the Monkees . It was fun great music and could have only happened in the 60's .
They were always the same e people. Lovely, huh. Isn't it amazing that 50 years later, that " made for TV band" was more real than anyone believed possible.
This is very nicely put together! I enjoyed watching it so much. I was 10 years old when The Monkees first aired and have been a fan for 57 years now. It's sad that three out of the four are gone now. I hope that Micky will continue to have good health. I doubt if many of us would be up there on stage at age 78 entertaining people. Best of everything, Micky, and RIP Davy, Peter, and Mike.
I remember coming home from school to watch the Monkees who were on at 4:30 pm NBC. They were funny, zanny and oh loved their music & songs. I liked them more than the Beatles really. Loved, loved, loved their music & songs; so many songs.
1st gen. fan. im 58 and still remember waiting for the Monlees to show up at my front door //(you never know where were headed we might just be coming to your town.) I still love listening to them.'The door into Summer' for instance .They willalways be a part of me
I don't think I ever saw the Pizza Hut commercial with Ringo and Davy, Micky, and Peter. That was hilarious. 1986 should include the reunion of all 4 at the Greek Theater in LA - THE high point that year! Ending this compilation with Zilch was great - they were clearly having fun together.
I will never forget the Monkees. It's almost like I grew up with them. They definitely created some seriously fond memories for all of us Baby Boomers. RIP Davy, Peter and now Mike...🥰
This is a very in-depth doco & I'm sure Davy, Peter & even Mike would still be touring somewhere doing their thing. It's very bittersweet to watch tho as we see them thru their musical journey & to see what happened to each one of them. God love U Davy, U still had it & even your dance moves were the same. We'll never forget any of these guys & how great they became even tho they began as a 'manufactured' group. Who would have thought they'd defy their creators & critics to play for real & sell millions.
I've seen The Monkees' pilot episode several times on TV, often as part of The Screen Gems Network, but I'm trying to remember whether they included the original theme song and closing credits; not 100 percent sure. But I do remember first seeing them on Saturday mornings on CBS, then the reruns in syndication. Second-generation fan. I also want to say thanks, Fred, for including some material from the Big Glee archives. Another great source of nostalgic enjoyment; back when I had access to a computer and printer, one of my hobbies was finding pics on Google/Bing Images that I liked and printing them out. I've got several from Big Glee in my collection, many of the fun one- or two-page features from DC Comics, or articles on Saturday morning TV series. It kept me out of trouble(lol).
Cool video, I enjoyed watching it. The Monkees are fun to look back at. Thanks to a friend, I actually have a guitar autographed be Peter Tork, and the the rest of "The Shoes Suede Blues", from April 2nd, 2011.
Once again, OUTSTANDING JOB FRED ! A fantastic chronology of the life of the Monkeys. Great unseen clips and great memories. I truly enjoyed it. " I still think that a young Peter Tork, take away some of his hair, could pass for Kevin Spacey's twin brother !" Thank Again 👍
I"ve become a little obsessed with watching their history lately. I related to that show and Davey because I'm a small guy like he was, and because they had electric guitars on TV playing rock music. Its like now they are s symbol of the passing of the Baby Boomers. I'll be 72 in March and it just feels like the end our story is fast approaching with the death of Mike Nesmith. They were all unique and power hitters, they made themselves that went far past the TV show, and gave us so much love and music. Mickey is the last one, very sad.....
When I first tried to post this about 6 months ago, it was getting rejected by TH-cam due to copyrighted content. At the time I didn't know why but thought it was perhaps because of that song, so I replaced that clip. Turns out wasn't that song. Though that as then, this is now, I posted the re-edited video as is.
15:53 Mark McEwen, weather guy turned interviewer? GASP! I always thought CBS morning shows were crazy before the current iteration of _CBS_ _This_ _Morning_ , but this one took the cake...LOL 22:23 Ringo with 3/4 of the "Pre-Fab Four". :)
I grew up with the Monkees. They were so funny and adorable. Hall of fame needs to get them in. Yes, they did play instruments. They were the American Fab Four.
First my son came in to ask me to please stop singing. As if my severe lack of ability would stop me. Then he came in to ask why I was crying. Because I'm a first generation Monkees fan and life was so damn much easier as a 6 year old than as an almost 60 year old in a pandemic.
One great and funny show that I can still watch. (Im 59) I love 'zaney' and this show has it in spades. Favorite songs : Last Train To Clarksville, Pleasant Valley Sunday: , to name a few. I believe this music holds up today, no problem. 'Don't believe me'! Give it a listen. Once again Fred Knocked it out of the park👍

I'm 65 year's old now boy this will take you back to a wonderful time that will never go away. I'm a first generation Monkee fan .
I'm also 65, this also brings back memories for me too. R.I.P Davy Jones and Peter Tork.
64 here. Monkees 4-ever I say! There's always a place in my heart for the 4 of them, no matter what else goes on. RIP Davy & Peter.
We had the LPs and played them endlessly.
I am 66 and was amazed that I have the same birthday as Mike and Davy.I have been a fan for 52 years.
IAM a first generation fan the monkees were my favorite back than and still are today.Rip Davy and Peter.
The Monkees were among some of the best memories of my young life ~ RIP dear Peter & Davy
Sadly, the Ringo and Paul of the Monkees are gone...
Beatles Girl how cool to be a 60's kid . We lived it we help make it and here we are 2020 . Another great band due north from Winnipeg , Manitoba to be exact Burton Cummings & the Guess Who .

You're welcome, Shelley.
That was pretty cool. The Monkees were more talented than people gave them credit for, It would actually shock you.
The Monkees 50th Anniversary Best Classic Band
Oh man that was good 👍! So much there id never seen. When Peter started tearing up over Davys passing that just got to me. I lost it. So sad. Just so so sad when Peter and Mike passed too. But wonderful to still have the great Micky Dolenz with us and hopefully for a long long time, more touring and music to come. Love 💘 Mickys voice.
I'm sure this took a LOT of work to put together. THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome, Ron.
Oh the memories! Loved the show, the music and The Monkees! What a great time to grow up.
that was fun! thank you! my sister and i are in our 60's , we grew up with this, good years, good times!!
I'm 63. I remember thinking when I was 11: "If the Monkees show is ever canceled, I'll kill myself." It was. I didn't.
Thank you so much. This made me cry. I know the words to every song. Peter at the end just broke my heart.
Mike Peter David and Mikey thanks for the memories of the Monkees I enjoyed them all
I'm so happy to get to watch them all again. Then with Peter's passing in February 2019 and with the news today of Mike's passing..this is wonderful to be able to watch. Thanks for posting this even though it's been over 4 yrs ago. This is a beautiful timeline of their lives entertaining us all.
Thanks, MO3B.
I loved this show!
I wish I could have been in the audience screaming “Miiiiiiiiiiiiiike” !
I, too, grew up with the Monkees music and zany tv show, and I have such fond memories of that cherished time!! RIP DAVY, MIKE AND PETER!! FOREVER ETCHED IN THE CLASSIC MUSIC ARCHIVES ........KEEP ON ROCKIN, MICKY!!!!
A lifetime of entertainment, thanks guys.
RIP dear Peter
I love the Monkees! I'm a believer ! Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Wonderful retrospective!
Thanks that was great! Saw the Mike and Micky Show in march...awesome!
Peter and Dave rest in peace and thank you for the memories of the Monkees as well

I'm 42. A child of the re runs when I visited America in 1988. Never looked back, I adore them. Blessed to have seen them live twice.
I only saw them once, when they were Micky, Davy, Boyce and Hart, at the Empire State Building lounge in 1976. Cost: $10.
Thanks Fred! I saw some stuff I'd never seen before.
You're welcome, Mary.
They were always the same e people. Lovely, huh.
Isn't it amazing that 50 years later, that " made for TV band" was more real than anyone believed possible.
Thank you very much for this. Makes you reflect your own mortality.
You're welcome, Andrew.
Yes, my life passed before me watching this lol. Monkees 4-ever. 💃 ❤
The Monkees ix one of the reasons I play music today! Thanks for the inspiration!!
You're welcome, Robert.
RIP Peter and Davey!
This is very nicely put together! I enjoyed watching it so much. I was 10 years old when The Monkees first aired and have been a fan for 57 years now. It's sad that three out of the four are gone now. I hope that Micky will continue to have good health. I doubt if many of us would be up there on stage at age 78 entertaining people. Best of everything, Micky, and RIP Davy, Peter, and Mike.
Thank you, Cathy.
I remember coming home from school to watch the Monkees who were on at 4:30 pm NBC. They were funny, zanny and oh loved their music & songs. I liked them more than the Beatles really. Loved, loved, loved their music & songs; so many songs.
Great job putting this together! Brings back watching the TV show as a kid with them all on that bed rolling down the street.
The Monkees are absolutely a real rock band too
a very nice presentation. thanks for posting this, and for remembering Davy
By now Peter needs to be added on. 2-13-43 to 2-21-19 RIP 😢
As well as the making of Good Times, and Micky & Mike in concert.

Happy 51st Anniversary The Monkees
Thank you! This was so cool!
You're welcome, Karen.
I don't think I ever saw the Pizza Hut commercial with Ringo and Davy, Micky, and Peter. That was hilarious. 1986 should include the reunion of all 4 at the Greek Theater in LA - THE high point that year! Ending this compilation with Zilch was great - they were clearly having fun together.
Loved watching them.
I will never forget the Monkees. It's almost like I grew up with them. They definitely created some seriously fond memories for all of us Baby Boomers. RIP Davy, Peter and now Mike...🥰
Ahhhhhh, so many happy memories.
Love this
Love you Michael Nesmith 🥲 man the ending of this made me cry 😢
This is incredible! Really enjoyed watching it. Thank you!
This is a very in-depth doco & I'm sure Davy, Peter & even Mike would still be touring somewhere doing their thing. It's very bittersweet to watch tho as we see them thru their musical journey & to see what happened to each one of them. God love U Davy, U still had it & even your dance moves were the same. We'll never forget any of these guys & how great they became even tho they began as a 'manufactured' group. Who would have thought they'd defy their creators & critics to play for real & sell millions.

we're blessed by The Monkees (again!) once a week to watch (and record) on AXStv channel; recently in 2023 📺 🎶 🐒🐒🐒🐒
I've seen The Monkees' pilot episode several times on TV, often as part of The Screen Gems Network, but I'm trying to remember whether they included the original theme song and closing credits; not 100 percent sure. But I do remember first seeing them on Saturday mornings on CBS, then the reruns in syndication. Second-generation fan.
I also want to say thanks, Fred, for including some material from the Big Glee archives. Another great source of nostalgic enjoyment; back when I had access to a computer and printer, one of my hobbies was finding pics on Google/Bing Images that I liked and printing them out. I've got several from Big Glee in my collection, many of the fun one- or two-page features from DC Comics, or articles on Saturday morning TV series. It kept me out of trouble(lol).
Good compilation
Cool video, I enjoyed watching it. The Monkees are fun to look back at. Thanks to a friend, I actually have a guitar autographed be Peter Tork, and the the rest of "The Shoes Suede Blues", from April 2nd, 2011.
Thanks...I needed that...Great job...made me cry.

Once again, OUTSTANDING JOB FRED ! A fantastic chronology of the life of the Monkeys. Great unseen clips and great memories. I truly enjoyed it. " I still think that a young Peter Tork, take away some of his hair, could pass for Kevin Spacey's twin brother !" Thank Again 👍
You're welcome, Mark.
Mike Nesmith R.I.P😢🎸
The Monkees GOOD TIMES ! 2016
I saw them live in 1997, I was 12. I can’t believe that was 21 years ago.
Optimum The Monkees 51st Anniversary Antenna Tv Channel 114 Sundays 10am - 11am
I"ve become a little obsessed with watching their history lately. I related to that show and Davey because I'm a small guy like he was, and because they had electric guitars on TV playing rock music. Its like now they are s symbol of the passing of the Baby Boomers. I'll be 72 in March and it just feels like the end our story is fast approaching with the death of Mike Nesmith. They were all unique and power hitters, they made themselves that went far past the TV show, and gave us so much love and music. Mickey is the last one, very sad.....
I'm amazed you didn't have a clip from their hit song during one of their comebacks...That was Then, This is Now. I loved that song.
When I first tried to post this about 6 months ago, it was getting rejected by TH-cam due to copyrighted content. At the time I didn't know why but thought it was perhaps because of that song, so I replaced that clip. Turns out wasn't that song. Though that as then, this is now, I posted the re-edited video as is.
Marcia (Maureen) was just so cute!!! Great to be a kid back then!
kyokogodai she was cute MARCIA MARCIA MARCIA!
RIP Davy Jones and Peter Tork
very interesting compilation...well done!
Thank you for making this video. I really enjoyed the rare clips and different discussions I heard on here.
The first concert my hubby went to was The Monkeeeeesssss.....
15:53 Mark McEwen, weather guy turned interviewer? GASP! I always thought CBS morning shows were crazy before the current iteration of _CBS_ _This_ _Morning_ , but this one took the cake...LOL
22:23 Ringo with 3/4 of the "Pre-Fab Four". :)
I love 💘 💘 💘 💘 💘 💘 IT awesome job..Thank you so much for everything
Six hearts! I'm flattered, Brenda!
I grew up with the Monkees. They were so funny and adorable. Hall of fame needs to get them in. Yes, they did play instruments. They were the American Fab Four.
thanks for sharing this well made monkess video
Fred your videos are a wonderful look back at a bygone era unfettered by today's technological trappings.
Why thank you, Geo386.
Wow... Fred one of your best..so far. Very impressive. Connie from Fla.
First my son came in to ask me to please stop singing. As if my severe lack of ability would stop me.
Then he came in to ask why I was crying. Because I'm a first generation Monkees fan and life was so damn much easier as a 6 year old than as an almost 60 year old in a pandemic.
Awesome. Thank you.
Well done. We saw Davy at the wheeling IL concert shown here. He was late to the gig, he said he was downtown Chicago shopping. Haha. Thanks!
You're welcome, Glen. I saw Davy, Micky, Boyce and Hart at the Empire State Bldg. in a lounge in 1976. I think I paid $5.
One great and funny show that I can still watch. (Im 59) I love 'zaney' and this show has it in spades.
Favorite songs : Last Train To Clarksville, Pleasant Valley Sunday: , to name a few.
I believe this music holds up today, no problem.
'Don't believe me'!
Give it a listen.
Once again Fred
Knocked it out of the park👍
I'm a believer, Swindell.
