The Mike & Micky Show

Produced by The Monkees’ archivist Andrew Sandoval and mixed by Christian Nesmith, "The Monkees LIve : The Mike & Micky Show" was recorded live in March 2019. The collection includes performances of all 3 of the band’s #1 hits, “Last Train To Clarksville”, “I’m A Believer” and “Daydream Believer”.

In addition to those hits, the live album also spotlights many of Nesmith’s finest compositions, including several songs that were never performed live during the Monkees’ heyday, like “St Matthew” and “Auntie’s Municipal Court”. Other Nesmith penned tunes on the collection include live versions of “The Girl I Knew Somewhere”, “Listen To The Band”, “Papa Gene’s Blues”, “You Just May Be The One” and “You Told Me”.

Dolenz takes the spotlight singing hits like “Pleasant Valley Sunday”, “Randy Scouse Git”, “Mary, Mary”, “Goin’ Down”, “For Pete’s Sake” and “Porpoise Song”. The collection also features live versions of “Me & Magdelena” and “Birth Of An Accidental Hipster” from The Monkees’ most recent studio album, "Good Times" from 2016.

This is the latest chapter in Monkeemania, a saga that began in 1965 when four young men were cast in a television show about a struggling rock band that was inspired by the Beatles’ "A Hard Day’s Night". Few could have predicted the impact the Monkees would have on music and pop culture at large, one that still reverberates more than 50 years later.
