The Monkees were a four-person band who appeared in an American television series of the same name, which ran on NBC from 1966 to 1968. The Monkees were formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California & disbanded in 1970. Several reunions of the original lineup have taken place. The first reunion lasted from 1986 - 1989 & a second regrouping took place between 1996 - 1997. The Monkees last worked together for a brief period in 2001. The television show first aired on September 12, 1966 on the American NBC television network & lasted for two seasons; its final primetime episode ran on September 9, 1968. Modelled on the Beatles film A Hard Days Night, The Monkees featured the antics & music of a fictional pop-rock group which, due to the necessities of the program & the massive success of the records, became a real pop-rock group. The four young men who became The Monkees were British-born David Jones, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith & Peter Tork. They were cast after ads were placed in trade publications calling for actors to play “4 insane boys” on a new television series.

This is The Monkees at their best. Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz & Davy Jones sing their greatest hits & more with the added bonus of interviews & comedy to go with it. Its a must for Monkees fans & people who would like to find out what they have been missing. This is The Monkees first live concert on dvd but its well worth the wait. Here they come again.....................
