Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The last three concerts of the Monkees summer 1967 concert tour were professionally recorded, with the idea of assembling a live album from the tapes. Also, two weeks before those concerts, a member of the Monkees touring crew recorded one of their concerts, probably for his own use. As far as I know, these four concerts are the only recordings of Monkees concerts from the 1960s that exist. Unfortunately, the exact same songs were played in the exact same order at all four shows. Which is not to say that the concerts are exactly the same. The Monkees make different mistakes at each of the concerts. Sometimes they sing the wrong lyrics, sometimes they play the wrong notes. And there are often technical problems with the microphones and instruments. Probably the major difference other than the mistakes is in the ad libs that the Monkees say during the concerts. They even occasionally ad lib a few lines from songs like "Singin' in the Rain", "There's No Business Like Show Business" and "Act Naturally". So, is it worth owning copies of all four concerts? Not really, unless you're an absolute Monkees fanatic. Of course, I own this collection, so I guess you know where I stand.
