The Monkees Unplugged

[@SueWNY]

Gorgeous harmonies, great songs and wow...Peter has such a pure, gentle sweet voice! He has always been the most underated Monkee

[@anitaanderson2871]

Agreed!

[@inwoodliver]

so cool to hear Peter sing live!

[@jeri1053]

love Pete's vocals and especially the harmonization!

[@Pippie]

I really love Peter's voice during take a giant step. It really fits the song.

[@bennettmichaels4309]

You do know that Davey sings this , right ?

[@anitaanderson2871]

While Davy did the vocals on the record, it was most definitely Peter singing the lead on this version of the song. He also sings it on his solo record

[@artemiszeus9735]

RIP Peter Tork. Take a giant step outside your mind.

[@tammymaples1502]

I wish to call on all Monkees fans past ,present ,and future if you can ban together and get the star on the walk of fame then together we can get them in the rock and roll hall of fame! This would be the greatest 50th anniversary and fitting birthday present in memory of Peter and Davy. Mike,Micky,Peter, and Davy deserve the long overdue honor to be there with everything they have accomplished in their lives. To me they are all very special people and musicians. I don't care what the critics had to say about them . They stood their ground and fought for what they believed in. Now it's the true fans turn to fight for them. My only regret is that I never got to see them in concert in person. I can only watch them on you tube now. I wish to thank them and their families for the laughter ,the tears, and most of all the wonderful memories. God bless the Monkees now and forever! 😍😁😀😖😅😇😇😇😇

[@shelleywantiez7964]

I have that same regret. I lived then all my life but didn't follow close enough through the years. Peter was the first crush of my childhood. I wish I could have net him once. L

[@himself801]

Have you heard Peter sing and play banjo on "What Am I Doing Hang 'Round" ? Posted as The Monkees - "What Am I Doing Hang 'Round" (on Nashville Now in 1989). That's a good performance

[@marykatherinekarolewski97]

Beautiful mix of photo s .🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@kengk1234]

yes, another great song

[@Msaprilconquest]

great audio!!! love the way they harmonized...both songs!

[@Creativ1]

I was a very big Monkees fan as a child and this first song is on my More of the Monkees album.They were fantastic and in fact still are.Lovely unplugged versions here-thanks for posting!

[@artemiszeus9735]

They all have/ had stunning voices. David’s voice was just beautiful, as was he.

[@misamisa31]

they are my favorite band ever

[@anitaanderson2871]

Agreed!

[@susiesalome]

I normally prefer Micky's singing voice to Davy's but Davy's voice on this is absolutely gorgeous. I feel like I'm 13 again :-)

[@cos103headquarters]

こんな珍しいもの聞いたことがない！耳福ですわ。ありがとうございます。😃😄

[@rustycharliejr]

omg this was 1989 this whole time until i read the description i thought it was in the 60s. they sound really good

[@law6331]

Loved it!

[@jaydeebee69]

Is that him singing Take A Giant Step? Whoa!

[@livelove4all]

Wow-that was so cool!

[@yeildtotheden]

Bloody great clip for the music, dispels the stories of the Monkees not cutting it live. Shame there isn't any proper footage. Thanks for posting it

[@vadinho33]

When love comes knockin at byour door... It's thhe best words i ever heard.

[@ElliePatton1993]

I've heard of the monkees but this is the first time that I have listened to them.

[@marksmail2]

wow,this is great. Thanks for posting!!

[@claudioagmfilho2]

i am from Brazil in south america and i love this band from down here ...

[@steffap]

that was great!

[@christimacc]

Absolutely excellent.

[@ajksa1744]

I'm impressed with their musicianship! The harmonies are great. They're way better than I was led to believe. Thanks for posting.

[@dbeater1]

Never missed one their shows when i was a little tike...it was the car i loved that car..the show was funny .But they are very talented musicians.

[@groovymovie3213]

I love them all so much, but Peter has to be my favorite by far. ❤️ they all make my life so much better ❤️

[@lou1155]

Mine too

[@anitaanderson2871]

Me also

[@radioman66]

Peter did really do Take A Giant Step well, Davy sang "When Love" almost like the original album version. Very cool!

[@donnacarden4045]

love the monkees then ,now and forever.RIP davy god is great all the time . they were broth togther to make the world shine with love and peace.they will be togther again in another place and time watch them sat on fetv 9 till11.

[@Lamvesp]

This is great. Thanks for shareing this.

[@riu]

Wow, thanks so much for posting this!!!!! They truly do shine. I also love the other "unplugged" song they sing..."Riu, Chiu".

[@aszmania]

Wow, thanks so much for this! I really loved that tour.

[@pamelahall517]

Giant Step with Peter and Davy and Banjo! Wonderful version. First heard this banjo version on Stranger Things Have Happened-- Peter's only solo album. Always, always wanted more leads by Peter in the Monkees and that album was all Peter and a real gem. His voice is very expressive and I've loved it since I first heard it. Thanks for including this version!

[@anitaanderson2871]

Agree!

[@lindas.5191]

I also agree. Why did they give him so few songs? I love Stranger Things have happened. Listen to it all the time.

[@2000konnie]

That's a nice tribute. Rest In Peace, Davy. Gone too soon.

[@maryannlockwood3961]

And Peter. 😞

[@leenyboleeny]

The Monkeemobile was the sh1t!!! I still want that car!!

[@TheMrJUSilva]

saudades da sessão da tarde...não perdia nenhuma. velhos tempos, bons tempos, boas músicas românticas...beautifull, wonderfull musics.

[@Screengems1]

thank you!!!

[@battyboyzzz]

cool this performance is from exactly one day before I was born!

[@faeriegoth]

LOVELY! They ALL shine...

[@shasel1975]

Rest in peace, Davy :(

[@ricrefrat]

well said kookooboy!! for the past 40 years they have continued to make millions around the world happy...when you read something negitive like trash or what imtxsmoke wrote,,makes you wonder..are these people happy? or just void of dreams....too bad..

[@jaebrooms9193]

How can we get them in the rock and roll hall of fame?!?!?!?!?!

[@thomasponzio8345]

I wish I knew

[@shelleywantiez7964]

I'll be right there to campaign for this. Grossly overlooked, travesty.

[@robinhood480]

1. Trash their reputation 2. Spread rumours of dishonesty about them. 3. Have a few women of questionable character claim false allegations against them. 4. Smear their name. Etc.

[@2012monina]

Mike for ever

[@DavidKnibb]

backbeat05 - You're right about Dylan. "Song to Woody" and "Talkin' New York" are both from his first album, both written by Dylan. You're alsp right about "Papa Gene's Blues" being the only one - I used to love that song; not heard it since 1971 - must check KZbin again!

[@atsukokatsuodori6473]

The live sounds was much better than studio sounds. They are great musician.

[@infusion26]

Here is an another piece of this wonderful concert. See video respons !!!

[@chunkpilot]

Thanks for the post :)

[@thiafalcone2622]

Davy -- a true showman

[@Andraste77]

Yup. Mike, Mike, Mike, and Mike.

[@RevSpike]

@Grafietstift yes in this clip Peter IS singing. That's sure one of the things I really like about these guys after the tv show and albums - PETER got MORE TIME! A little too late I think, he had so much more potential with his unique, warm, innocent and sincere voice!

[@anitaanderson2871]

Agree!

[@kkrosetoo]

I really like this unplugged stuff- do you know where I could find it on cd?

[@redfordforpresident]

@Torkgasmicgirl8 Mickey Dolenz played in the 50s TV show Circus Boy. He rode the elephant at the intro. The circus was constantly plagued with disaster, like the circus scene in the Disney movie The Three Lives of Thomasina.

[@Grafietstift]

It's Peter singing Take A Giant Step right?

[@tomthetank924]

yes

[@rickcurtis2983]

Peter must be playing guitar here, harmonies are very impressive too!

[@TorkG8]

@BeatlesMonkees ....Whhhhaaattt? The beautiful Peter Tork last?? Noooooo!!!

[@xhomiegirlx]

1. Peter Tork 2. Micky Dolenz 3. Davy Jones 4. Mike Nesmith.

[@shelleywantiez7964]

Perfect order 👌

[@thomasponzio8345]

12 dislikes cmon this is amazing version thank u for posting it

[@WendingWanderer]

For another "unplugged" song, search KZbin for "The Monkees - On The Johnny Cash Show". This has Mike singing "Nine Times Blue" - very good video.

[@artemiszeus9735]

To join in the league table 1.David 2.Micky 3. Peter 4. Mike though it has fluctuated over the years. That said they are all gorgeous. Why go looking for more when the Adonis lives next door? 💖💖💖💖

[@inwoodliver]

Lovely

[@gfazao]

Não consegui reconhecer dentre os quatro o Mike! Os outros ainda se parecem, envelheceram mas ainda guardam as características!

[@muskox63]

@hanniballecturer Actually the Byrds debut album had 3 songs by Gene Clark, who was the main songwriter for the group in the early days and 2 co-written by Clark & McGuinn. The Monkees debut song had 2 songs by Michael Nesmith and that is it, so you are incorrect with your statement concerning the Byrds who had 5 original songs on their debut compared to 2 by the Monkees.

[@geowinchester4573]

GREAT PICTURES! Thanks for uploading! And by the way... How can you make a list of most to least attractive?! Honestly, I mean they're the Monkees, there's not one more or less attractive than the other Even though I'm a Peter girl I fangirl equally over all of them :)

[@joelovesthewiggles7621]

Monkes é um bom lugar pra t

[@RevSpike]

@Grafietstift yes indeed it's Micky! He can be singing it in the show. You ought to here the THREE versions of "I Don't Think You Know Me At All"; it was recorded three separate times with with Peter, Micky and Mike all singing lead. Tho they weren't released til Missing Links and all the bonus cuts on the reissues.

[@joelovesthewiggles7621]

Monkes de uma pessoa e não é um bom tempo de espera para a

[@sleepyjean67]

he had been able to hear them the whole time. the comic con still had bout 3 hours left till it closed. im just sad my friend was so devestated. I'm still going to go see Peter in Sept but I'm still a little mad cuz she got so hurt.

[@Jyvonne]

Doesn't Micky just look lovely at 2:38?? So hot.

[@TorkG8]

@Torkgasmicgirl8 ...Yeah!.. I started quite a debate on these comments!...Thanks everyone, I've enjoyed reading all your replies!! -- Keep them coming! -- but let's keep Peter 1st !!

[@Grafietstift]

@RevSpike In the studio-version of Take A Giant Step it's Micky singing it right? I'm trying to improve my skills for recognizing the voices haha. ;)

[@evarph]

My preference based on Davey Jones, Michael Nesmith, Mickey Dolenz, Peter Tork, but they all were special on their own ways, funny and cute, but when I was a kid Davey was my special one.

[@badtrucker130]

Hi fans this is mickey dolan we didnt get paid much but it was a lot of fun thanks for watching Mickey

[@DavidKnibb]

What self-penned songs were on the first album?....and I'm a fan from when they first started.

[@sleepyjean67]

She had been posting for the longest day how excited she was to go see him she's a huge peter fan. when she got to the comic con and saw this stand his gf was taking his name down and she started begging just to get a pic or a hi from peter and his gf just kept saying he had to catch a plane and my friend started crying and her friend was trying to explain that peter was the only reason she came and 20 mins later he came out from behind a curtain n left.

[@s7466]

1. Peter 2. Peter 3. Peter 4.Peter

[@WendingWanderer]

There's one arm too many in the picture at 2:41. The hand by Micky's head belongs to Peter, the hand on the left belongs to Mike, the thumb in the lower middle belongs to Micky, but who's pinching Davy's cheek? That's another hand altogether.

[@infusion26]

Yes it's from "Goud van Oud"

[@60Macushla]

1-4 based on level of attractiveness?Looks aren't just the reason for me...Well,for me it's also personality,here goes...1.Davy,for just having that helpless look (those damn eyes!)...2.Mike & for his strength & sarcasm (and those winks) ...2.Peter,for his child-like gentleness..4.Micky,for his wild humor!!

[@scottericksonmusic]

What was the audio source from, and where can I get a copy of the rest of this show!

[@TorkG8]

@evarph ....You put Peter last!!! -- I'm shocked! Ah well...I did ask for opinions!

[@infusion26]

And 5. Peter....lol

[@lesliewolfe7643]

Micky, Micky, Micky and Micky in that order

[@hazeleyedlady66]

1.Davy 2 Peter 3 Micky 4 Mike and oh yeah did I say DAVY NUMBER 1!!!!!!!!! Sorry but Davy will always be my number one. RIP Sweetie!!!!!

[@DutchMaybird]

Is this the 'Goud van Oud' show they did?? My goodness, I was there and I was 13 at that time. Is it avalable on cd??? Pretty please...?

[@JoeChrisMorris]

Is Micky on this? Thought he did the lead vox on Take a giant step

[@devonanderson1338]

Mine is 1. Davy, 2. Mike, 3. Micky, 4. Peter :)

[@maryannlockwood3961]

For me it’s Mike, Micky, Peter & Davy.

[@cherylhulting1301]

@@maryannlockwood3961 I have the same order of preference, Maryann.

[@WendingWanderer]

It can't be - it's a right hand and comming from the forescreen. Mickey's right shoulder is by Davy's head. Mickey couldn't possibly be reach Davy with that hand from that angle.

[@strangedaveshow]

do u have mp3s of this?

[@TorkG8]

My preference based on level of attractiveness - 1. Peter Tork, 2. Michael Nesmith, 3. Davey Jones, 4. Mickey Dolenz - what do other people think?

[@TorkG8]

Awww..you put Peter last in both your choices :( You can tell by my screen-name that I don't agree with you! lol.. What a debate I've started on these comments!! I hope the uploader doesn't mind. I've enjoyed reading everyone's replies to me..they've been interesting! ..but Peter is still tops for me! :)

[@anitaanderson2871]

Agree!

[@infusion26]

That's you touching Davy's face ! LoL :-)

[@paloma598]

@ILuvMickyDolenz you are so damn right lol

[@infusion26]

You're welcome

[@backbeat05]

@TheRingoDave Me too - another first generation fan. Papa Gene's Blues was the only one. Sweet Young Thing was Goffin/King and Nesmith. So if hanniballecturer is right, debut albums of Byrds & Dylan contained no self-penned songs ? Don't know about Byrds but find that hard to believe of Dylan.

[@Grafietstift]

@stevenj8810 Okay thanks

[@monkeefan8642]

attractiveness: 1. Mike Nesmith 2. Peter Tork 3. Davy Jones 4. Micky Dolenz :) Mike is the best by far!

[@sleepyjean67]

Well all the monkees have been 1. at one time or another. but i'm mad a peter at the moment cuz he hurt my friends feelings recently at a comic con.

[@CarolineSaysStuff]

Mike, Mike, Mike, eeeemm somtimes Micky and Davy...but mostly Mike. I'm Mike's girl.
