Michael Nesmith on Austin City Limits - recorded in 1992 and broadcast in 1993 This wasn't on Videoranch but i know it's hard to come by the full performance so I figured I'd upload it here!
The magic of Mike Nesmith. Neither he nor the Monkees get the credit they deserve. His best songs with the Monkees certainly are originals of the Country Rock genre (like the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield.) His voice is subtle, superb, and unforgettable. His lyrics are poetic and heartfelt. Thanks, Nez, for all you gave us.
Agree. Very good songwriter. The chord changes seem traditional but then Mike throws in some left turns that I don"t see coming and I think, damn....that"s awesome, I didn't think we were going to turn there!. Just a great vibe from Papa Nez. Laugh Kills Lonesome.
Nez is my biggest idol and influence in music. This performance in Austin City Limits is Nez's rarest and most difficult performance to find on the internet/youtube. I don't have enough words to please you for this, Videoranch Reuploads! Peace, love and good health to you, friend!

Hi! unfortunately i only found this episode of the show but if you look around on sites that aren’t youtube you might be able to get something! i found this on a music sharing platform.
A nice gig for John Jorgensen backing the great Nez in preparation of being recruited by Chris Hillman for the also outstanding Desert Rose Band who then influences Brad Paisley. What a nice circle.
I came back to the Monkees and then saw all of Mike's body of Albums! I was healing from an extremely long spinal fusion surgery and Mike's been with me this whole year! I wish I could of talked with Him but I plan to look for him in heaven!

Beautiful! He's so talented and love his vocals!!!! Go Papa Nez!!! RIP Mike! You are missed!
I wonder if Papa Nez knew just how loved he was and how many appreciated his incredible talent. RIP Papa Nez.
He had a beautiful voice and he was so very talented.
And the great John Jorgensen on guitar!!!
Just loved “Joanne”, and everything Mike did. Rest In God’s Own Peace, Michael; and Thank You.

Was that Red Rhodes on steel?

Only Nez could introduce a song with " quantum mechanics and complex adaptive systems!" He is so missed.
