Peter Tork & Micky Dolenz sing "I'm a Believer" & "Daydream Believer" with the Davy Jones Band at the Davy Jones Memorial at BB King's in NYC on April 3, 2012.
My Dad grew up watching "The Monkees TV Show and now he has got me hooked on them, and now I recently heard that Davy Jones has died R.I.P. Davy you will be missed!!!! I look up to "The Monkees" now not only for inspirational music but also for being a Comedian!!!!
they were shooting stars for sure,set the world on fire for their fans, mickey is very good singer and these guys were talented more than people thought, they had a lot fun,you should too ,i did,we pass this way but once,GOD REST YOUR SOUL DAVEY you were, are, loved by my wife,she adored you,enuff said
I feel so fortunate to have grown up in the 60's and 70's experiencing wonderful music, TV shows, comedians that were actually funny, being told by my Mom to "don't stay indoors, go out and play and be back by 5 for supper", my Dad giving me a .22 bolt action rifle when I was 11 and teaching me to shoot and respect firearms, going bike riding without a helmet.......this video sadly reminds me of how many wonderful parts of my youth are gone forever...including my youth.
To hear Mickey cry and have trouble with the words to Davy's song is not only a touching tribute to the memory of Davy Jones, but also a true heart felt emotion from Mickey Dolenz to his friend for almost 50 years...Davy Jones. Thank you Peter, Mickey and Mike for all the memories that you gave our generation. Davy, THANK YOU....and please rest in peace.
5:45.. Peter saw his friend struggling with emotions in the loss of his friend and stepped up to sing with him and help him through it. Even made a little joke to distract him. What a sweet man he was.
It's impossible to watch this without tearing up. Mickey so bravely wore that emotion so many were feeling but not at a fraction of the depth and meaning he was pulling from. It's so raw, its visceral.
L Martinez I think whatever one's relationship is with another through the years, the craft of doing something together over a long period forms an undeniable bond. I would be hard pressed to think this was a throw away gesture just for the fans.
L Martinez Mickey & Davy were very close & you can hear the pain in his voice, he’s struggling to get thru each song but he is an entertainer & knows the show must go on.... and so it does with the help of the audience. Bless you Mickey. RIP Davy & Peter 💙👏🏼👏🏼🥀
Every time I love the Monkees but because Davy Thomas Jones away in Feb 12 2012 I was heart broken he was my very true crush when I was 12 years old and ever since I was love with the Monkees in order Davy,Micky, Peter, and absolutely not last Mike .but if you me who I love out of the four I have to say who else but Davy I know know if I told you I had a crush on him since I was 12 so you can figure out how long I have been a fan of the Monkees Dav❤y Jones R,I,P My favorite monkees
Poor Micky, when he started crying, so did i. Davy should have never died, but we won't let him die, as long as the Monkees are remembered in song and show, Davy's spirit will live on forever. We miss you Davy, where evert you are... thanks for giving us the daydream of a lifetime...
Beautiful tribute to Davy to have his daughter to come up was wonderful but to see Micky break down - hard to watch. RIP Davy, miss you everytime I watch/hear you or you with The Monkees. Love you guys. Bless you Micky...
When Mickey cried I cried and I loved davy and peter I watch the episodes crying I smile knowing he’s in a good place and will be singing always and be here always 😭❤️ Mickey and Davy was such good friends
Davy was the heartbreaker for all the girls. If we weren't fighting over Paul it was Davy Jones. I can't believe at such a young age he just passed so suddenly. But he was at his favorite place at least. I hope he's up there looking down on us all and smiling. Thank you for the memories.
A Monkee fan from 1970 at 5 years old. I thought they were wild and funny and they've been with me these last 45 years at the ripe old age of 50. They were, in my opinion, the greatest example of boy band success and also of making something out of nothing. These guys were insanely popular and deservedly so. R.I.P. Davy.
Aretha Franklin is an honored singer . She sang great songs written by great songwriters while musicians filled out the sound. So The Monkees were a TV show about a fictitious band. The Actors really sang the songs and became a band. They had many great hits with many top notch session musicians, just like Aretha. The Monkees started out as a concept and became real. At quite a stretch, for a while they outsold The Beatles and the Stones. I must confess, one time I walked 20 miles round trip to a record store and bought a Monkees album as a present for my sister. Our teen years were spent playing lps and 45s and The Monkees records were all a part of that. Another band from that era, take a look back at The McCoys. All great music.
The loss of Davy Jones feels like another part of my childhood was lost with his passing, I always watched the Monkees as a youngster in the 60's, and, I had always considered them as the American antithesis to the Beatles and their music as a rule is known to be considered as such.............
I remember I couldn’t wait for the next box of cereal to get the record from the back of the box had the best childhood growing up from 1960( year I was born) through the 70’s we had the best clothes best music and the best cars
Hi Guys, what a great video. I’m 64 now, and I used to race home every Saturday to watch The Monkees as a young kid. Great times, great memories, and great guys, with wonderful fun songs. Oh boy, to go back to them times would be something else! Sadly, we’ve now lost Peter and Mike. Rest in heavenly peace guys, and thanks for being a massive part of my life, and bringing to us all, such happiness 🙏🏼❤️
just watched this video. oh, God so emotional! was a wee baby in 60's, but sang along. always knew Monkees were a family. Micky and co lost a brother! spoke for us all, when he got choked up. i live in UK, and fell into my son's arms sobbing, when I heard. still choked now. heavens got a damn fine chior!!!😥😞😭
I LOVED watching The Monkees reruns in the 70's or 80's and thought Davy Jones was SOO cute! These guys all cracked me up and were pretty talented! R.I.P. Davy Jones. :(
Never can get enough of these guys. I grew up with the Monkees. Saw them when they first aired in Sept. of 1966 and I was a 13 year old and I am 61 now and I love them so much. My childhood memories and awesome ones. I am glad that Mike, Micky and Peter are still going strong and keeping their brother, friend and band mate alive. he, my Davy Jones will live on forever and he was my love in my heart. It is so impossible it has been 2 years he left us but I know he is performing in heaven with the angels. I miss you so much Davy like the rest of us and your family and your 3 brothers. Love you Davy, R.I. P.
i was age 10 in 1966 with a new baby brother....looked up from doing my homework in the living room, saw Davy, and was smitten! (THIS IS JOYCE ANTHONY writing)
sometimes when we see thing's like this ,we allways think they would last for ever... but the harsh reality they don't. we have to be thank we have people like these guy's that made our world that way for a long time,'' this here is pretty much my childhood'',i wish for one day to have it back !
Tears for Davie. He sang that song so beautiful. I could hide beneath the wings as the blue bird as he sings..... so many beautiful time back then. Happy for these guys that had stuck together through the years and made my day watching them. Yeah, when they used the Monkees songs on Shrek, that was TERRIFIC!
“ if you enjoyed the show, tell your friends… if you didn’t, tell him you saw David Cassidy” needed this laugh at the end so badly. Balling my eyes out 😭
Watching and crying. I know it sounds crazy, but when you grow up with bands like The Beatles and The Monkees every time one of them passes you feel like a part of your life has gone with them. It happened when John Lennon was killed, when my favorite George Harrison passed and when Davy passed.
I grew up watching the Monkees,Davy,of course,my favorite. I was stunned when I heard of his death. Watched this around the 1-yr. anniversary & had to turn it off when Mickey started crying. I'll always enjoy their music ,especially "I want to be Free" & "Shades of Gray". RIP Artful Dodger-"consider yourself one of the family"!
What a great memorial! Miss you so so much Davy! You will always be my favorite little Monkee! :'( We all love you! ♥♪♪♥Rock on, man, rock on! Peace and Love =)
+Rush Ron - Mine was in response to saying Davy was the first and only teen idol. I never did get into Elvis. I liked his 70's music better than his 50's stuff. Yes, I think my mom liked the 50's stuff. I couldn't get into his garish 70's outfits though. I was more bell bottom jeans with holes in them and halter tops. LOL! My teen crush was David Cassidy. I thought Jones was cute, but, he was too short. If I'm going to have a crush, I'm going to have to be able to wear my heels. LOL!!
+Cheryl Reiff I graduated in 1977. Grew up watching Davy & The Monkees on tv. Recall a few more teen idols of that era, I think. Bobby Sherman, Donny Osmond & Shaun Cassidy come to mind. I liked 70's era Elvis tunes too. :) I was far more interested in Raquel Welch, Sophia Loren & yes....halter tops + gals that wore them. lol-lol Great memories.
I am a BELIEVER - I had all the albums and listened to BOTH SIDE (for those of those who know what albums are) every day while I was a child. I hope these guys continue to get togther and perform - they are awesome - they were my childhood.
Mickey...Man! not only in emotional pain, but in very visible physical pain, I know this, as i am in bad shape myself! It does suck getting old!!!....May Mike, Peter and Mickey feel peace and may my dear little Davey rest in peace. much love to you guy's for being a big part of my youth! and still today (I am re-watching all of the t.v. show's, over the pat few day's) and am finding myself still giggling over some of the uniquely funny slapstick comedy and good music that they brought to us back then.
As a touring entity, The Monkees are no more, but they will live on in the music, the TV show, the one movie they did "Head "(1968),& the memories they gave for those blessed to have grown up with them.
Even though it was a memorial service, it felt so good seeing them laugh and joke, just like i t was when they were all together. Thank you for sharing this
The Monkees were long over before I was born (1973) but I watched the reruns from the time I was 3. I don't ever get emotional over celebrity deaths, but this one hit hard. One of my favorite Monkee episodes is the Christmas one where Micky and Davy have to go down the chimney. I was in 8th grade when I first saw that, and I'm pretty sure I fell off my bed laughing! Miss you, Davy!! Thank you for the years of laughter!!
I appreciate this. I felt really bad for Micky when he started crying during the second verse of Daydream Believer. You could tell that Micky really took it hard.
I first heard of the Monkees in 1986 when I was 9 years old. My best friend and I would watch the Monkees tv show all summer and we actually planned the double wedding we were going to have (me and Davy, her and Peter). unfortunately it didn't come to pass lol, but I will always love their music!!
maureenavena33 I became a Monkees fan in 1986 when I was 10 years old! I watched their show every day, but it was the music I fell in love with. Still love them!
This song is not a Monkees song anymore - it belongs to the fans - like they {Micky, Mike & Peter} want and with Davy's blessing...love you Micky, you and Peter and Mike - bless you...you are so respected for what you had to deal with...RIP Davy...miss you everytime I hear this song and that's quite often since my daughter (3 1/2) loves it...
I actually got to see Davy, Mickey and Peter as The Monkees once at The Scope in Norfolk, VA; Michael excluded of course. It was a spur or the moment kind of thing. I heard they were in town and just grabbed my girlfriend at the time and we hoped on a city bus to go and see them. So glad we did. I grew up watching reruns of their TV show and Davy was once of the earliest musical influences on my life. Thanks for recording and sharing this clip.
@@TobiAnn55 I was there, in 1989 and all four of the Monkees were getting their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ; I was only about 15 feet from them - in July they came around 11A.M.in the morning so it was kinda bright - couldn't Mike take off those dark blue sunglasses for just two minutes (for the fans) then he can put them back on? I traveled a long, LONG way on the bus just to see them! After that, they were on TV, in person they looked better than that, like they came out fresh, from the bakery. Almost had to stand on my toes to see Davy, he did his speech first, and the first thing he said was - "It's not easy being short ..."
Wow! Love the banjo on "I'm A Believer" - good on ya, Peter! Man, this video is so moving. Not a dry eye in the house, I bet! Davy on the screen behind them. My heart goes out to everyone there, but especially Davy's family - which include his 'brothers' Peter and Micky.
Just saw Micky Dolenz (in the Happy Together Tour - go see it if it comes near you) at the Minnesota State Fair five days ago, and he was fantastic!!! He did "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" and "Daydream Believer" in his set, and during those two songs they scrolled dozens of classic old pictures and magazine covers of Davy Jones and the rest of the Monkees on the big screens on either side of the stage. I cheered and almost cried at the same time....it was a wonderful and powerful moment.
Very Cool and on my birthday! I think I could hear Micky get chocked up a couple times during Daydream Believer! Thanks again Davy Micky, Peter and Mike for giving me a reason to dream! God Bless and R.I.P. Davy :-)
These guys didn't even know each other when they were cast to star in the Monkees together. What a testament to the bond of friendship and musical talent to see Mickey getting emotional singing this song...what other "boy band" will ever have a moment like this? Great band, great memories.
I love reading the comments from the different generations of fans. What an impact this group had, for only being on the air for two years! Davy was my first crush at 11 when the reruns were played on Nick at Nite in 1996 for the 30th anniversary. And just like you guys from the 1st generation of fans, I had all of their cds. I was so sad when I heard Davy died, watching the Monkees was an important part of my childhood. I still know every word to most of their songs! I will say this, Peter was the best musician, Mike was the best song writer, and Micky the best singer, but Davy was the heart of that group, and without him, it's just not the same. I didn't even like most of the songs he sang (not because of him, but he was given the weird womanizing ones because he was the heart throb), but he managed to make them nice just from his sheer charisma and charm- I didn't really listen to the words of Cuddly Toy for years because of his adorable dance, but now I'm like, oh, eeek. I think one of my biggest regrets was when he came to an autograph signing near me when I was probably 14 or 15. My dad took be to the mall, and I took one of my records, but when I saw the line was mostly older people, and heard that he had been there for hours already, I was embarrassed, and felt bad for him. I didn't get in line, and now I really, really wish I had met him that day. I did make my poor dad carry my record around the mall while I stalled Davy from behind :)
I grew up listening to the Monkees, and I was crushed when I heard about Davy Jones passing. I was so touched by the tribute to Davy Jones of the last song, Davy Jones song signature song, it was so sweet & sad at the same time. I cried & was choked up, just listening to Mickey Dolenz cry. Thank you for sharing this video!
This is a Wonderful Tribute to Davy, Peter and Michael, you are Loved and Remembered by all and we know you are up there playing songs together!! Thanks to Mickey Dolenz for keeping The Love of your Musical Brothers Alive and Continuing in our Lives! Thanks, Neal from Boston! 👍🎶🌻👍☮️🌈🖖
I think it's sweet that Micky would cry during that song. It shows how much he loved Davy.
Micky Dolenz: one of the best voices in music history.
not
@@fredbiden868 ...a well thought out comment.
I can tell Micky's trying not to cry during this song. Nice tribute guys. R.I.P. Davy Jones. You will be dearly missed
My Dad grew up watching "The Monkees TV Show and now he has got me hooked on them, and now I recently heard that Davy Jones has died R.I.P. Davy you will be missed!!!! I look up to "The Monkees" now not only for inspirational music but also for being a Comedian!!!!
they were shooting stars for sure,set the world on fire for their fans, mickey is very good singer and these guys were talented more than people thought, they had a lot fun,you should too ,i did,we pass this way but once,GOD REST YOUR SOUL DAVEY you were, are, loved by my wife,she adored you,enuff said

Now this is a Memorial Service! What a tribute to Davy!

Thank you Peter, Mickey and Mike for all the memories that you gave our generation. Davy, THANK YOU....and please rest in peace.
When Peter left us, it was truly the end of an era.
Definitely! Well said
He was unique and very much missed.
Peace be upon David Thomas Jones & Peter Halsten Thorkelson, (aka Peter Tork). May you walk amongst Kings & rest with the angels. 😥🌹
And now Robert Michael Nesmith :(
I’m glad we got to meet them. Our lives are better for it.
5:45.. Peter saw his friend struggling with emotions in the loss of his friend and stepped up to sing with him and help him through it. Even made a little joke to distract him. What a sweet man he was.
Peter was so adorable in every way. I truly miss that man.
I can SEE why he felt emotional. That was one of Davy's poignant nostalgic sweet songs!!!
Well, that was sad. 😢
@@lindas.5191 Made me cry
I bawled watching this, I miss Davy and Peter and nez so much 😢
0:41 "I sang this song long before Shrek." Love it!
Technically, Smash Mouth sang a cover of the song and it was put into the first Shrek Movie
Sorry Micky, I like Smash Mouth's version better.
I like both....
Darcy Brummett yuck
Adam Hans
I'm guessing you don't like SM's version? lol
Almost 7 years after Davy's death, Peter has joined him in heaven. May they both rest in peace.
And meet up with J.Lennon and G. Harrsion whom they emulatated
and sadly now michael
if you can watch this without a tear in your eye, you have no heart!
It's impossible to watch this without tearing up. Mickey so bravely wore that emotion so many were feeling but not at a fraction of the depth and meaning he was pulling from. It's so raw, its visceral.
I don't know. Perhaps Mickey was good friends with Davey , and yet it seems that MIckey is only doing what will enchant the audience.
L Martinez I think whatever one's relationship is with another through the years, the craft of doing something together over a long period forms an undeniable bond. I would be hard pressed to think this was a throw away gesture just for the fans.
L Martinez Mickey & Davy were very close & you can hear the pain in his voice, he’s struggling to get thru each song but he is an entertainer & knows the show must go on.... and so it does with the help of the audience. Bless you Mickey. RIP Davy & Peter 💙👏🏼👏🏼🥀
Every time I love the Monkees but because Davy Thomas Jones away in Feb 12 2012 I was heart broken he was my very true crush when I was 12 years old and ever since I was love with the Monkees in order Davy,Micky, Peter, and absolutely not last Mike .but if you me who I love out of the four I have to say who else but Davy I know know if I told you I had a crush on him since I was 12 so you can figure out how long I have been a fan of the Monkees Dav❤y Jones R,I,P My favorite monkees
Micky always had such a sweet voice. He hasn't lost it.
Very touching! RIP Davy Jones - my very 1st "crush!"
Love, love Peter on that banjo. What a treasure and beautiful man. I hope he's in heaven.
You can hear how choked up Mickey is singing Daydream Believer. Nice tribute.
When Peter left us recently he took a little piece of my youth with him. Hopefully there is something much more on the other side....
God in Heaven. Paradise.
"If you enjoyed the show, tell you friends. If not, tell them you saw David Cassidy!" Love it. A wonderful tribute.
😂😂😂
This would have been lost to history if it wasn't taped. Thanks so much for posting this.
Miss you Davey what a loss the world mourns for you
Tears
RIP
Davy Jones
Poor Micky, when he started crying, so did i. Davy should have never died, but we won't let him die, as long as the Monkees are remembered in song and show, Davy's spirit will live on forever. We miss you Davy, where evert you are... thanks for giving us the daydream of a lifetime...
The Monkees were a very big part of my 70's childhood. I love their music...
Beautiful tribute to Davy to have his daughter to come up was wonderful but to see Micky break down - hard to watch. RIP Davy, miss you everytime I watch/hear you or you with The Monkees. Love you guys. Bless you Micky...
I grew up with the Monkees. Since 6th grade. Makes me feel old!! They were great !!
When Mickey cried I cried and I loved davy and peter I watch the episodes crying I smile knowing he’s in a good place and will be singing always and be here always 😭❤️ Mickey and Davy was such good friends
I don't know how they got through the whole song. I'm crying just watching the video.
I know. I would of broke down in tears.
jae brooms me too 😢
Davy was the heartbreaker for all the girls. If we weren't fighting over Paul it was Davy Jones. I can't believe at such a young age he just passed so suddenly. But he was at his favorite place at least. I hope he's up there looking down on us all and smiling. Thank you for the memories.
He was 66.
It used to be that human life span was about 40.
Almost 10 yrs later and I still tear up watching this. Bless you all !

Who remembers this? Getting a 45 on the back of a cereal box, cutting it out and playing it?
📀 oh, i wish i still had those! 💿 you have a great memory, tony❕
I just saw one of those today in a record store. If you have one, they're going for 20 bucks.
I do! I do!!!
Yes I do...also had Sugar Sugar by the Archie's that way...
I remember I couldn’t wait for the next box of cereal to get the record from the back of the box had the best childhood growing up from 1960( year I was born) through the 70’s we had the best clothes best music and the best cars

Davey was a great guy, great entertainer, uniquely positive person.
Love this video!!! I am an 80's kid who likes the Monkees. Micky has always been my favorite of them all. Think it's sweet how he got emotional.

And, now, only Micky is left. Tough to lose part of your childhood. RIP guys, we miss you! 😢💗🌟
It feels like he was here just yesterday. I miss him!
he has davy jones tambourine .. I am smiling ...
RIP Davy Jones and Peter Tork.
This gives me goose bumps! What a great tribute to Davy!
Daydream believer made me cry, Beautiful memorial. They brought laughter and music to my childhood.
Watching and crying. I know it sounds crazy, but when you grow up with bands like The Beatles and The Monkees every time one of them passes you feel like a part of your life has gone with them. It happened when John Lennon was killed, when my favorite George Harrison passed and when Davy passed.
They are icons of our YOUTH, the best times of our lives, which unfortunately flees from us never to be seen again.
I grew up watching the Monkees,Davy,of course,my favorite. I was stunned when I heard of his death. Watched this around the 1-yr. anniversary & had to turn it off when Mickey started crying. I'll always enjoy their music ,especially "I want to be Free" & "Shades of Gray". RIP Artful Dodger-"consider yourself one of the family"!

Peace and Love =)

I am a BELIEVER - I had all the albums and listened to BOTH SIDE (for those of those who know what albums are) every day while I was a child. I hope these guys continue to get togther and perform - they are awesome - they were my childhood.
This leaves me in tears every time :'( we love you guys your the best!! I have so much respect for all of you and always will!!
Always loved Mickeys voice. Very unique and solid.
you can hear Micky's voice break .. so very emotional
Mickey...Man! not only in emotional pain, but in very visible physical pain, I know this, as i am in bad shape myself! It does suck getting old!!!....May Mike, Peter and Mickey feel peace and may my dear little Davey rest in peace. much love to you guy's for being a big part of my youth! and still today (I am re-watching all of the t.v. show's, over the pat few day's) and am finding myself still giggling over some of the uniquely funny slapstick comedy and good music that they brought to us back then.
Now you can add Peter Tork. May Davy & Pete find the peace & joy they gave to us.
As a touring entity, The Monkees are no more, but they will live on in the music, the TV show, the one movie they did "Head "(1968),& the memories they gave for those blessed to have grown up with them.
*MIcky not Mickey
@@sambradley2975 and Mike Nesmith..
Me, too.
Even though it was a memorial service, it felt so good seeing them laugh and joke, just like i t was when they were all together. Thank you for sharing this
I can't believe it's been a whole year!
The Monkees were long over before I was born (1973) but I watched the reruns from the time I was 3. I don't ever get emotional over celebrity deaths, but this one hit hard. One of my favorite Monkee episodes is the Christmas one where Micky and Davy have to go down the chimney. I was in 8th grade when I first saw that, and I'm pretty sure I fell off my bed laughing! Miss you, Davy!! Thank you for the years of laughter!!
During Daydream Believer, I could have sworn I heard Davey Jones singing.
Yes, I also heard someone in there who sounded a lot like Davy Jones.
Duchess1953 So did I. And it wasn't merely Davy as he sounded in the 60s, it was Davy as he sounded before he died. Eerie.
Maybe he was :)
Davy's alive and hiding out with Elvis.
Davy's daughter was up there.
I had to wait to see this vid because I knew it would grip me...thank you 4 posting
I appreciate this. I felt really bad for Micky when he started crying during the second verse of Daydream Believer. You could tell that Micky really took it hard.
I first heard of the Monkees in 1986 when I was 9 years old. My best friend and I would watch the Monkees tv show all summer and we actually planned the double wedding we were going to have (me and Davy, her and Peter). unfortunately it didn't come to pass lol, but I will always love their music!!
maureenavena33 I became a Monkees fan in 1986 when I was 10 years old! I watched their show every day, but it was the music I fell in love with. Still love them!
+maureenavena33 I was gonna marry davy, and my best friend loved mickey
I loved Micky! Triple dates, no weddings!
My friend cindy and I did the same with Davy and Peter
right there with you!
This song is not a Monkees song anymore - it belongs to the fans - like they {Micky, Mike & Peter} want and with Davy's blessing...love you Micky, you and Peter and Mike - bless you...you are so respected for what you had to deal with...RIP Davy...miss you everytime I hear this song and that's quite often since my daughter (3 1/2) loves it...
Micky still has an awesome voice! R.I.P. Davey...we'll all miss you!
no worries...56 year old man...with a tear in his eye as well.....some pretty cool memories from those amazing days!
cheers all
Who came out on stage for Daydream Believer? Man, I can't stop crying.
dayum Micki is tearing it up at the end of DayDream BEliever....love this
Great..>!!!! I love to watch "Circus Boy" with Mickey Dolenz when he was just a cute kid..!!
Thanks for this
I actually got to see Davy, Mickey and Peter as The Monkees once at The Scope in Norfolk, VA; Michael excluded of course. It was a spur or the moment kind of thing. I heard they were in town and just grabbed my girlfriend at the time and we hoped on a city bus to go and see them. So glad we did. I grew up watching reruns of their TV show and Davy was once of the earliest musical influences on my life. Thanks for recording and sharing this clip.
+Michael Hammer Me too, I was there...
@@TobiAnn55 I was there, in 1989 and all four of the Monkees were getting their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ; I was only about 15 feet from them - in July they came
around 11A.M.in the morning so it was kinda bright - couldn't
Mike take off those dark blue sunglasses for just two minutes (for the fans) then he can put them back on? I traveled a long, LONG way on the bus just to see them!
After that, they were on TV, in person they looked better than that, like they came out fresh, from the bakery. Almost had to stand on my toes to see Davy, he did his speech first, and the first thing he said was - "It's not easy being short ..."
Poor Micky... he got really emotional while singing Daydream Believer.
Another one added to rock and roll Heaven where someday we will all witness the greatest show on earth and in Heaven!
My God Dolenz has still got it. Why wasn't this given bigger coverage? After all they were a super group of the sixties.
when i was watching this i started to cry
i grew up with them thanks to my older sister and i would not change a thing my kids love them . rest in peace davy
Wow! Love the banjo on "I'm A Believer" - good on ya, Peter! Man, this video is so moving. Not a dry eye in the house, I bet! Davy on the screen behind them. My heart goes out to everyone there, but especially Davy's family - which include his 'brothers' Peter and Micky.
Just saw Micky Dolenz (in the Happy Together Tour - go see it if it comes near you) at the Minnesota State Fair five days ago, and he was fantastic!!! He did "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" and "Daydream Believer" in his set, and during those two songs they scrolled dozens of classic old pictures and magazine covers of Davy Jones and the rest of the Monkees on the big screens on either side of the stage. I cheered and almost cried at the same time....it was a wonderful and powerful moment.
Hard to believe it has been 2 years since we lost Davy....this is bittersweet.
Very Cool and on my birthday! I think I could hear Micky get chocked up a couple times during Daydream Believer! Thanks again Davy Micky, Peter and Mike for giving me a reason to dream! God Bless and R.I.P. Davy :-)
These guys didn't even know each other when they were cast to star in the Monkees together. What a testament to the bond of friendship and musical talent to see Mickey getting emotional singing this song...what other "boy band" will ever have a moment like this? Great band, great memories.
And now Michael Nesmith has joined Davy and Peter in the great beyond they were a happy bunch but the music lives on!
I love reading the comments from the different generations of fans. What an impact this group had, for only being on the air for two years! Davy was my first crush at 11 when the reruns were played on Nick at Nite in 1996 for the 30th anniversary. And just like you guys from the 1st generation of fans, I had all of their cds. I was so sad when I heard Davy died, watching the Monkees was an important part of my childhood. I still know every word to most of their songs! I will say this, Peter was the best musician, Mike was the best song writer, and Micky the best singer, but Davy was the heart of that group, and without him, it's just not the same. I didn't even like most of the songs he sang (not because of him, but he was given the weird womanizing ones because he was the heart throb), but he managed to make them nice just from his sheer charisma and charm- I didn't really listen to the words of Cuddly Toy for years because of his adorable dance, but now I'm like, oh, eeek. I think one of my biggest regrets was when he came to an autograph signing near me when I was probably 14 or 15. My dad took be to the mall, and I took one of my records, but when I saw the line was mostly older people, and heard that he had been there for hours already, I was embarrassed, and felt bad for him. I didn't get in line, and now I really, really wish I had met him that day. I did make my poor dad carry my record around the mall while I stalled Davy from behind :)
This is wonderful -- thanks for posting. I had tears in my eyes the whole time, then I heard Mickey crying. What a wonderful tribute.
Miss him
Goodness, I was 11 when the Monkees first ran. we loved them. We even remember Whem PM Mickey Dolenz was a child star in Circus Boy.
I grew up listening to the Monkees, and I was crushed when I heard about Davy Jones passing. I was so touched by the tribute to Davy Jones of the last song, Davy Jones song signature song, it was so sweet & sad at the same time. I cried & was choked up, just listening to Mickey Dolenz cry. Thank you for sharing this video!
This is a Wonderful Tribute to Davy, Peter and Michael, you are Loved and Remembered by all and we know you are up there playing songs together!! Thanks to Mickey Dolenz for keeping The Love of your Musical Brothers Alive and Continuing in our Lives! Thanks, Neal from Boston! 👍🎶🌻👍☮️🌈🖖
