Two observations: 1) I really wasn’t aware of how much the Monkees themselves contributed to this album. After the hoopla surrounding “Headquarters,” I think the popular opinion was that they largely went back to using studio musicians for “Pisces” and later albums. In fact, this album was mainly played by the Monkees plus their excellent rhythm section of Douglas and Hoe. With a few exceptions (“Hard to Believe” for example), this album - even more than “Headquarters” sounds like it was recorded by a real band. 2) Eddie Hoe was such a great drummer; a human metronome in the days before click tracks and such beautiful technique and tasteful playing. Thank you for yet another great deconstruction, allowing us to hear “into” these great songs.

Same!! Peter would always talk about how they went into “mixed mode”, but Peter and Mike played together on many, if not most of the songs. They really did play and write music well together. And of course Micky singing on many songs. Davy seems to be the least represented on PAC&J. It’s a shame they didnt stay together a little longer. They were really getting good as a band.

@@michellerodeghier8071 Agreed! I think Peter could have easily been successful as a session musician; his playing is always precise and tasteful. And I meant to add in my OP that Septyl’s “deconstructions” really illustrate the great playing by Tork, Nesmith, Douglas, and Hoh. Also I sloppily misspelled Eddie Hoh’s last name. Turns out he played on a LOT of studio tracks at that time, including a famous but kind of now-forgotten album by Stephen Stills/Al Kooper/Mike Bloomfield called “Super Session,” which is definitely worth a listen. Great drumming and playing. Apparently EH faded into the shadowland of substance abuse and faded out of the music business in the mid 70s. He died in 2015. There is a really thorough article about him in WkPd that discusses some of the famous acts he drummed for.

very groovy bass line and drums... also Mick's moog playing and lead vocals are quite psychedelic...

Recently I heard "Daily Nightly" played on the Morning with the Beatles show on Sirius Radio, following "I Am The Walrus." This Monkees track fit right in with the other masterpieces played on that station. Kudos to Mike for writing this enigmatic song, but Peter is the unsung hero of that album. His keyboards are spot on for every track and Micky's vocals prove that he is one of the best lead singers of the era. I could go and on and on with how fantastic this album is. Why the Monkees are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a travesty. Thanks for posting another great deconstruction!! Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

It was a great move by Michael to bring Chip Douglas in for two reasons. First was Chip could act as producer to take burden off Michael in the studio, and second, neither he or Peter was interested in playing bass. This also freed up Peter to play keyboards, occasional lead guitar, or banjo as needed. About Micky on the moog synthesizer, Peter said Micky made that instrument come alive on this song. He was upset that Paul Beaver was brought in to play on Star Collector

Oh man, the drum track alone on this one is a total groove. I strongly feel that this song in particular should have so much more credit than it does, meaning I think it should be one of those classic rock radio staples that gets played today and is regarded as one of those outside of the box non-single album cuts that really defies mainstream pop of the day. So much going on in this track and this deconstructed is excellent Septyl.

Awesome. I think this was one of the earliest Moog songs ever recorded. Great to hear the isolated Moog tracks. Can’t wait for more from the later albums, too. Keep it up!

One of my favorite songs, written by Michael - awesome lyrics, true poetry. And love the he knew, for best result, to hand over lead vocals to another singer, in the case, Micky. What a fantastic psychedelic masterpiece!

@cherylhulting1301 3 ай бұрын

I love that Micky sings it too. There's a lot of underlying tension in "Daily Nightly," and that's a quality that Micky can transmit in his vocals (as in "Stepping Stone"). While it's always fun to hear Nez sing his own stuff, for this one I suspect his voice just might have been too pretty for what it needed.

I have a deep appreciation for all these PAC&J deconstructions. On Christmas Day '67 my parents gave me a portable stereo and a few albums including PAC&J. Those gifts changed the course of my life. This album top of the list. Oh, and the other Monkees deconstructions are marvelous too, @septyl!

Just started following your channel tonight when it came up in my feed. I’ve been uploading my remasters of the music videos from the show here for the last few months (both audio + video remastered) and in the process of remastering the songs, I’ve come across a lot of surprises when isolating the channels. You’ve done a MASTERFUL job of cleaning them up and breaking them all down!! Wonderful.

I'll admit that even though Mike was never the best guitar player in The Monkees, his strumming patterns were really creative, like on "Daily Nightly". Impressive! BTW, interesting to note that Peter called Micky's moog playing "genius". I'm pretty sure he didn't like Paul Beaver's playing on "Star Collector".

@ARWest-bp4yb 4 ай бұрын

Mike always played a really full rhythm guitar, like on Girl I knew Somewhere, though he could drop some nice riffs like on this and Pleasant Valley Sunday. 👍

@CatraDhtem 4 ай бұрын

Peter's opinion was that Paul Beaver didn't utilize the full capabilities of the Moog, playing it more just like a monophonic instrument.

Even though the lyric sites say the line is "and once again such anxious men find questions but no answers", I liked to think that Micky actually said "sententious men". Alas, it's clear now that that's not the case.
