I saw the Monkees at Great America once. This girl I was dating in High School (my prom date no less) was way into Davy, her High School crush, so we went. That must have been the mid-80s sometime. Mike wasn't with them and was sorely missed. I remember Davy jumping around singing, and then running out of breath in the middle of the song. I remember Mickey doing Goin' Down, a song I still luv. I don't remember anything about Peter but I know he was there because Mike was the only one absent.

Does that leave us with just one Monkey?
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

I received my 10 LP box set of The Monkee's yesterday. It was purchased as a joint Valentines gift for me and Dee Dee.
We played the first album for fun.
The next day Peter Tork dies.
I am now afraid to play any records.

Both Mike & Mickey survive I think.

Long time Monkees fan. Played them tonight at the fencing club on our sound system. Closed out the evening with “For Pete’s Sake”.
Take *that* Wizard Glick!

TG and I both really liked Head back in the 80s. I think I watched it with him but not sure. Some great tunes there.

I also liked the movie.

ED & I surely watched it together at some point. It’s an astonishing film.

I only saw Head maybe two years ago. Solid weirdness, great soundtrack, some subtle and not so subtle commentary on the whole industry that had groomed and monetized them -- if I recall correctly. A surprisingly strong movie.

Don't forget Head was written by Jack Nicholson.
