Daydream Believer Davy Jones Finale concert 02-19-2012

[@donaldwatson3176]

There are very few things that one can never get enough of in life. Davy Jones singing this song is one of those things.

[@hardestyrl]

This still breaks my heart. To think, as Davy wished others happiness, good health, and long life, he only had ten days left on this Earth. RIP, mate, we'll never stop missing you.

[@mommy2kitty]

What a fine gentleman as well as an excellent performer. Makes me proud, I have been his fan since I was in grade school. Still hard to believe he was the youngest and first to leave us. R.I.P. Davy. And Peter. And Mike.

[@scait38]

Does anyone else get emotional while watching this? May his legacy live forever !

[@donbrashsux]

He made so many kids day ..loved watching theMonkeys as a child ..always will be with me..thanks Davy RIP

[@brendacampbell3879]

He was still great at the end.

[@dostfez]

Davy was a throwback to the vaudeville days and was a true performer....peace....

[@cynthiawhite8868]

Love Davey. Thanks

[@rainkatt]

I fell in love with Davy the first time I saw him on TV. I was 9 then. At 11 I saw them live at the Oakland Collosium, I remained a fan ever since. On the day he left us I was burying my horse, a grey Arab, just like the one Davy rode earlier that morning, I lost two of my first loves that day....later I sold my horse's saddle and donated a portion to his horse rescue organisation, I received a nice email from Davy's daughters which touched my heart. He will always hold a special place in every little girl's heart from the 60's, rip Davy

[@cathygonzalez3734]

That's an awesome story. I was about the same age also when they came out and I love the song and him so much! It also broke my heart when he died. But I'm also sorry about your horse.

[@corinneraden]

I did too! I was almost 11. That show changed my life. To this day, their music brings me such joy. You lost your beloved horse on the same day Davy left this world. As you know, Davy loved all his animals. I feel your beautiful horse is with Davy's horses in heaven with Davy overseeing them. You are truly a wonderful and caring person to donate to his horse rescue organization. He instilled a great joy and love to all who loved him and the Monkees. He lives on to all his fans in our hearts. Thank you for sharing your story with everyone. All the fans I had the honor to communicate with have shown a supreme quality of love and caring. That comes from pure love and joy that each one brought to us. You are truly a special person. I am so proud to be a Davy Jones fan with a kindred spirit!

[@rainkatt]

@@corinneraden awww, Bless you for your kind comment, you really touched my heart. I think the passing of our first crushes hurts the most because it's a piece of our innocent hearts, our childhood, our first loves outside of our daddys or pets, and seeing them go brings us closer to the realization of our own mortality, that one day we will pass on as well. So many are asking why? Why did they have to go so soon? My own personal belief is that each and every one of us has an expiration date on the bottom of our foot, that day only our Creator knows. So live each day as if it were that date, love deeply, forgive frequently and laugh freely! Take care and God bless!

[@clarewelter2207]

Thank you Davy for your music. Unforgettable!

[@RG-hf4et]

Thank you for this. RIP Davy. We miss you!

[@ALinn-vr3nl]

He still had it as a performer. That smile, and sparkle, he was a great entertainer who could fill a stage with his personality, voice, joy, and dance.

[@sunshine18102]

this is sad. I cry everytime i listen to his video's. I loved davy for 45 years and really love and miss him. this is my favorite song. may he rip.

[@cathygonzalez3734]

It was mine too they came out when I was a child and I used to sing this song all the time it was always my favorite!

[@junestrickland1478]

He was my first love... grew up listening n watching these guys.. Davy came from Lancashire, my home county...

[@crazy8skml]

So glad my father introduced me to the Monkees when I was 6. Second Gen Monkee fan, and working on my son being one as well. So many amazing songs. God bless them all! Micky has always been my favorite, and sadly he is the only one still left. Glad I was able to catch a concert before Davy had passed. The whole concert I had a sinking feeling, and just months later Davy passed. RIP Davy, Peter and Mike. 🙏🤍🙏

[@whatsittoyou7199]

I know this is considered "bubble gum," juvenile, stupid pop. I know this is considered music for 11 year old girls. I am a 60 year old man and I fucking love it. It reminds of a time when I still had hope and love for others. Man, that guy really seemed to believe what he was saying. There is a sparkling sincerity about him. I hope there is a heaven for his sake.

[@Rehbock137]

69 here and still love it.

[@corinneraden]

How wonderful! I know he is in heaven. I am so elated when people can convey that special connection to the Monkees. Davy's main reason for preforming was to make people happy. He LOVED to sing and preform for his fans. That is what gave him such great joy! I have been a fan since 1966, Monday night on September 12th. They changed my world. I know exactly what you mean. I am a 66-year-old woman. Every time I hear one of their songs, I am transported to that wonderful Eara. I feel like a kid again. The song: "Take a Giant Step Outside your Mind" resonates so deeply when Micky sings: " Remember the feeling as a child, when you woke up and morning smiled? It's time you felt like you did then." How profound. To this day, we still need to remember we need that hope and love. Thank you for sharing.

[@BethCollier31]

What a beautiful sentiment and tribute you have written! I hope his daughters have some comforting in knowing how much joy their father gave to his fans and how much we all love and miss him! RIP

[@josephconner3742]

I was his bodyguard for a show he performed in NYC 15 months before he passed away. He was extremely kind with a great sense of humor.

[@טליסלמן]

It's Tali I am a fan of The Monkees for a lot of years it is hard to believe that Davy is not with us any more. Very sad he was such a great talent and a great singer. But nice to remember all ways

Rest in peace. Davy Jones, Peter Tork and Mike Nesmith. In December, I emailed Micky Dolenz and told him that I really enjoyed getting to see him and Mike Nesmith at the Texas Trust CU theater in October.

[@glitterdrip19]

10 days after wow

[@bbordelon2]

When the Monkees were first presented with the "Daydream Believer" demo, Davy Jones was not sure of the song's potential at first and didn't understand the lyrics. He didn't know what a "homecoming queen" was, there was nothing comparable in Manchester, England where he grew up. He also said he was unfamiliar with the American idiom "without dollar one", meaning broke. "We'd done twelve songs and the thirteenth was Daydream Believer. I said, 'That's terrible.' I was a baritone and it was in the wrong key for my voice. I'd been in the studio all day, I was tired and I'm singing these words about twelve times...Hank Cicalo, the engineer, had his own way of numbering takes so he could find them, he'd call them 1A or 2A, like that. Anyway, all of a sudden he says '7A' over the talkback and I wasn't listening so I said 'What number is this?' and they said '7A!' in unison. That kicked me on a bit and I got it down but you can tell from the vocal that I was pissed off." (Monkeemania: The True Story of the Monkees, first U.S. edition, page 75) and (Davy Jones, The Monkees Tale, Last Gasp Press, 1986). Jones grudgingly admitted, "Maybe it's not that bad of a song after all." It went on to become a signature song of his. On Dec. 2, 1967, “Daydream Believer” did indeed hit No. 1 in America, remaining there for four weeks, until it was dislodged by The Beatles’ “Hello, Goodbye.”

Saw you twice in person, Davy. I'm sorry to say this, but there was affliction in your horoscope and I thought, either he will go, or Peter will go first; but Mike and Micky, there is some toughness in their horoscopes; especially Micky, he has that Sun trine his Mars, it gives him the energy of ten people (I wish I had that)!
