“Daydream Believer” live with orchestra May 2010 (HD)

[@kcjones89]

I loved watching reruns of the Monkeys at my Grannys house in Ireland back in the 90s . I'm only 34 but Davey was loved by many generations.

[@marksurval2410]

I’m listening over and over to Davy singing Daydream Believer….and I’m crying!!! A 67 yr old man, I am, former Monkees fan from the 60s. Can’t figure out why I’m crying. Probably thinking about those days when times were better for me. Despite all the criticism of them, I still absolutely love listening and watching Monkees on KZbin. Let the tears flow…..for WHATEVER reason!😁

60 here, feel the same. I knew of them by the late 1960’s and first caught the Saturday morning reruns in the early 1970’s. I remember looking forward to the entire Saturday morning of shows, perhaps ending with Fat Albert at 12:30 PM.

I still can't believe he is gone. I saw him three times, and he was the nicest man. RIP Davy, Mike and Peter.

[@Birminghamesports]

The 60s and the Monkees on a Saturday night was just pure joy ...for a little lad like me ... One of the best pop bands ever, timeless classics .... Very sad to hear about the passing of Mike Nesmith today...Such a talented man ....but the sum of the whole was always greater than any individual in this band ....Loved this version by Davy....He still had it ....Such a joy watching and remembering the good old days ...

I didnt like them much either but I did like some of their songs.

[@johnj.flanagan-hymnsoffaith]

Always liked this song. First time I heard it was in Vietnam in 1968, on a short break I heard it on Armed Forces radio, before going back into the field, and the war. They say 'time and place' are the two biggest stimulants of long term memory, so this song was etched in my mind, and I associate it with a brief moment in Vietnam. I am sure all of you experienced the same association between a song, and a time and place, or a person.

[@JohnnyJBlairSingeratLarge]

Well said. Davy mentioned several times how they (Monkees) would periodically see Vietnam veterans at shows, sharing similar stories. Thanks for listening.

[@edgardopineda3317]

There is a reason for músic having gone dark, the forces of darkness, the elite, is very much aware of the impact that sound has in our psiche and also the movies media etc, that is how in the 1990s they promoted rap, it happened in los ángeles and they gathered the music promoters and forced them to sign a contract under extreme penalties if they renegue , so they promoted rap, to degrade a whole generation and promoted low vibrations, troubles etc, the same happened in Latinoamérica, you may want to ask why, i will encapsulate it for you, they are desperate, because the earth and the cosmos is ascending, abs want to prevent it by keeping the earth in low vibrations, that us why they left Afganistán in a rush and left everything and now are un ukraine using a popet, the idea is to create a proxy war, undermine Rusia and then dismember it into several republic, the old divide and conquer, so that they will be able to twist chinas arm and take total control of the planet, but humanity is not alone, the company of heaven, the galatic confederation will not allow it, and the usa will become once again the republic that it was founded to be, and a beacon for humanity, and also europe etcétera, we are talking about a dark elite, not about countries. For we are all divine, made out of love and light, children of the most high. Have a good day!

[@平沼洋一-o8b]

This song always moves me to shed tears. It also reminds me of the days when I was a child, walking alone along the neighborhood street against the sun setting. It is one of the greatest songs than had produced in the history of making. It is no exaggeration to say that it universally touches our heart. Thank you very much for the Monkees and Davy Jones.

[@normanburrell5523]

I was in my early twenties when The Monkees were at their height. A few years back I was on a company trip to Barcelona visiting Estrella Damm and our sales team from England was made up of varying ages but mostly very much younger than myself. We went to a restaurant in the city famous for the staff singing light opera whilst people dined. They invited anyone in the room to sing and suddenly the whole of our team just burst into song singing ‘Daydream Believer’. It was an incredible moment and the rest of the diners and staff really got in the spirit clapping along and they gave us a huge round of applause at the end. It was a magical moment, not to be forgotten. A fantastic song.

[@JohnnyJBlairSingeratLarge]

It's amazing how that song still gets around and bonds people. To think it was originally recorded as an album filler and it was chosen for a single as an afterthought. It's gotten more mileage than anyone imagined back then.

[@barrysmith7710]

[@Ckawauchi35]

Wow, all those baby boomers who first adored him in their much younger days! Like my 2 older sisters in the Philippines who were crushing on him when they were barely teenagers in the 60s as we watched their show every Sunday afternoon. It was something that we all looked forward to and wished there was more. Then, they had the chance to watch the Monkees in concert when we were living in Japan in the early 80s. They were ecstatic! Rest in Peace, Mr. Jones!

[@bethbabson7421]

I was on a business trip when learned Davy was performing in town and saw both nights with San Diego's symphony in August, 2008. It was such a treat in person compared to a usual band set. I had audio until phone reset including him joking with me. I've not seen a video nor anyone recording that weekend. At the time, he stated he hadn't been across to the Coronado hotel since filming The Monkees but later said he did visit there again. I can't stress enough how a Symphony experience from the audience with Davy was a grand time to be had. And, I'm lucky I hadn't a passport yet or my business would have included a side trip across the border and I miss the shows. Even viewing this video on an Android is nothing like the memory of being present with a professional Symphony. I highly suggest that if anyone has a chance to see their favorite performers being accompanied in this manner that they book the event.

[@JohnnyJBlairSingeratLarge]

This year I started to archive media artifacts (photos, video, audio) from the symphony pop concerts we did, but they're surprisingly hard to find. If you have anything to post I'd be very grateful. I haven't been able to find anything from the San Diego sets. Thanks for weighing in.

[@bethbabson913]

@@JohnnyJBlairSingeratLarge They were very strict. I had a palm phone and it reset itself wiping out the audio saved. I remember checking around to see if anyone was recording. I pretended to steal the empty seat of Davy's "victims" in his one classic joke during the 2nd show. He said "Girls, gotta love 'em" lol. The only thing I have is a photo of me blurred - as I moved during shutter and Davy at autograph table.

Years from now, when I can leverage or save enough to buy a house after a horrible decade here for me, I'll get my storage unit emptied and probably find the tickets unless I guess which box. I never throw those out. The one which bothers me is I haven't found the Denver Monkees 2x3' board sign in my storage since supposedly put in it by movers in 2010. That's the rarest Monkees item I own. And I've combed unit for it. I've never seen a promo of guys in front of the sign. I'd found it in a record shop in 85 or so. So worried it was taken off truck as movers were being harassed by auctioneer hired they said. I'd lost the house first by bad signature of Mom on Will, then by a Realtor I went to, bought it for himself. Lol he could be gone by now he was that old.
