Thank you for continuing the deconstructions of the Monkees songs. I am enjoying each and every one of them. Looking forward to more in the future

Everywhere I've read, including the Andrew Sandoval "bible" it states that Peter played bass on this version of this song.
@dcarr704 ай бұрын
Yeah, on this version Chip was behind the producer console. It was Micky on drums and backing vocals, Nesmith on guitar and lead vocals, Davy on Tambourine and Peter on bass.

Yes, this was a full band performance, although Wikipedia lists Chip Douglas on background vocals.

This was played on AM radio when HEADQUARTERS was released, but unfortunately, it was not a single. What a shame since it could have established the Monkees, as the musical force that they were at that time (Summer 1967). It's all history now, how Mike, Peter, Micky and David fought the powers that be to be allowed to create their own music on HEADQUARTERS and the following albums. They won that battle to create great music such as this, proving that they should be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!

It's great to hear the isolated tracks! Just one problem - you picture Chip Douglas as the bassist, but it was Peter.

Yeah, I heard an interview with Chip. Peter played bass on this. Another stand out bass part is on "Goin' Down". Chip said he couldn't remember for sure, nut he thinks it's Peter playing bass on that.

This is one of my favorites songs by the Monkees. Always wanted to learn how to play it on the drums, and now I can. Thanks very much ! You are doing good work!! Any chance you could do a deconstruction of their song "You Told Me", especially the drums parts ? Thats another of their songs that I would love to learn. Thanks again, and keep up the good work !! 👍👍👍

On Mike’s isolated vocals, there’s something that I find to be very cool happening, in an organic and real way…if you listen very closely, you can just barely hear the backing track, which is caused by the “bleed” from Mike’s headphones being picked up by the mic that he’s singing into. The same thing can be heard on some of The Beach Boy’s isolated vocal tracks from the Pet Sounds album; and quite noticeable on “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”, in the pause just before the bridge. Cool stuff. Thanks for posting this video! 🙏

My understanding is that Mickey Dolenz at one time scored the drum cadence for Los Gatos High's marching band.

Love his voice. He's more versatile than people gave him credit for being vocally. Just to listen to Nez as storyteller on "Salesman" was to appreciate the qualities of his voice.

@junkboxxxxxx7 ай бұрын
Dolenz, like many beginner drummers, has a heavy right hand. This is part of what gives garage bands their reckless, grungy sound, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. But over time as a drummer gsts more experienced, he evens out use between the right and left, and the sound becomes cleaner and tighter.

I absolutely love this track, it's one of my Nez favorites. My only problem is in thr vocal mix. I love and think they were right to layer this track with such rich vocals. But I do wish Davy and Micky's combined harmonies had been dialed back a little for the bridge. The background vocals threaten to overwhelm the lead instead of complimenting it.

In the booklet that came with the recent Headquarters boxed set, Andrew Sandoval has Peter credited as playing bass BUT also lists "Chip Douglas overdubbed bass." So both?
@JeramyRichter7 ай бұрын
If I recall correctly Peter played the Dobro bass riff only on the TV version. On the Monkees deluxe box set you can hear Mike telling Pete where to slide. This HQ version seems to be just the electric bass minus the Dobro. So, I bet yes, Pete played the bass and Chip overdubbed bass fills throughout for continuity.
