33â…“ Revolutions Per Monkee" is the name of a rarely-seen special starring The Monkees that aired on NBC on April 14, 1969 Charles Darwin the famous evolutionist takes The Monkees through various stages of evolution until they are ready to brainwash the world via commercial exploitation. Hatched in giant test tubes, the four are stripped of all personal identity and names: Micky Dolenz becomes Monkee #1, Peter Tork becomes Monkee #2, Mike Nesmith Monkee #3, and Davy Jones Monkee #4. Each Monkee attempts to regain his stripped personal identity by thinking his way out of captivity into his own world of fantasies. Monkee #1 (Micky) performs an R&B up-tempo duet remake of "I'm A Believer" with Julie Driscoll; Monkee #2 (Peter) reclines on a giant cushion in eastern garb and, to the lilting backing of sitar and tabla, performs "I Prithee (Do Not Ask For Love)," a gentle number concerning spiritual values. Monkee #3 (Mike), in an inventive split screen number, sings a country tune, "Naked Persimmon (The Only Thing I Believe Is True)"; and Monkee #4 (Davy) capers about in short pants and frill collar in fairytal
A sketch from The Monkees appearance on the Glenn Campbell Goodtime Hour
In 1967, four unknown actors in a kids TV show became the biggest pop band in the world. In America, they outsold Elvis and The Beatles combined. They were The Monkees. But The Monkees were not a real band, they were a man-made money making machine, driven by ego and ambition. A machine that would ultimately crash and burn. This is the inside story of pop music's first manufactured band.
An hour-long special that aired on ABC finds Davy, Micky, Peter, and Mike looking back on the old days (with a medley of their hits) and promoting their 1996 CD "Justus" with 3 music videos from it.
Through brand new interviews and vintage film footage including the TV series, concert tours and their pioneering music videos, all four Monkees provide insightful recollections of Monkeemania - before - during and after. With a special appearance by the late great Frank Zappa, Hey Hey We're The Monkees also includes original screen tests, outtakes, TV commercials, and rare photos of the band who continue to tour the world to this day.

A mostly accurate account of the history of The Monkees musical journey. Many eras of their music are over-looked but surprisingly, eras often over-looked are talked about. Of course the Donnie Kirshner debacle is covered with varying stories between the innocent and guilty. Sadly not much is said about the 1969 years as per usual. Yet, the 1976 10th Anniversary of 50% of The Monkees with the brainstorm that was, "Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart" is covered. Being this documentary was completed in 2000, The Monkees 30th Reunion and recording of "Justus" is covered. What is great about this documentary is it contains all new interview footage of Dolenz & Tork. Interview footage of Nesmith & Jones is borrowed from the "Disney/Delilah" documentary "Hey, Hey "We're The Monkees" but in many cases, especially with Nesmith
Glen's guests are Jeannie C. Riley, Mike Nesmith, Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz from "The Monkees" and John Wayne in a cameo appearance. Musical Highlights: Jeannie C Riley sings "The Girl Most Likely". Mike, Davy & Micky perform a medley of "Last Train To Clarksville", "I'm A Believer", and "Salesman". Micky played drums, Davy the bass, and Mike the guitar. They also lip-synched their upcoming single, "Tear Drop City". Glen sings "Ann", "Fate of Man", "By the Time I Get to Phoenix", "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay", and "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms". Comedy: Spoofing Jeannie's hit, Pat Paulsen plays a school principal, and Glen and Jeannie are concerned parents. Pat performs comedy vignettes tied to the song "It Was a Very Good Year". The finale salutes telephones.

The Monkees dropped their first-ever Christmas album in early October, and they’ve just released a video for the Andy Partridge-penned tune “Unwrap You At Christmas” to promote it. It shows the group as figures in a comic strip created by illustrator Michael Allred. Old school fans of the group will recognize elements from their Sixties television sitcom, including their mannequin Mr. Schneider and the Jiffy IQ Test that said Peter Tork had “total stupidity.”
Official lyric video for The Monkees - "What Would Santa Do". CHRISTMAS PARTY, the first holiday album by The Monkees.
The vast majority of the new Monkees holiday album Christmas Party was produced by Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne, but on the two tracks where Michael Nesmith sings lead (“The Christmas Song” and “Snowfall”) he instead worked with his sons Christian and Jonathan. Here’s a new animated video for “The Christmas Song” that was directed by Jonathan Nesmith, though the song itself was produced by Christian. The video takes place in the surreal, psychedelic world of the Monkees TV show at Christmas time, complete with their mascot Mr. Schneider wearing a Santa hat, Davy Jones dodging kisses under a mistletoe and the four members of the group wrapping up presents while dressed as elves. It’s bookended by Nesmith and Micky Dolenz chatting about the holiday and taking a boat ride through the cartoon world.
Leg of The Monkees "Justus" tour. Complete show with Davy, Micky & Peter - Saturday, November 1997 at The Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles, Cali.
The return of all four Monkees to the United Kingdom in early 1997 was long awaited by fans who had last seen them perform together there for a limited run of dates in 1967. It was also the first complete Monkees tour to feature Michael Nesmith since the band's reformation in 1986.
Here's a complete concert from the 1997 UK Justus Tour in Bournemouth, UK at the Bournemouth International Centre on March 16, 1997. There have been various bootlegs from this tour floating around for years (both audio and video), but I have never seen video footage of the Bournemouth show.
Running in from seemingly nowhere, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith & Peter Tork - better known collectively as The Monkees - disrupt a bridge opening ceremony. From where and why did they come to disrupt the proceedings? They were filming a series of vignettes in several different genres, including a wild west sequence, a desert war sequence, a Confederate war sequence, and a science fiction sequence. They disagree with much of what is happening around them, and try to figure out how to escape the oppression they feel - symbolized by a big black box in which they are seemingly imprisoned - by the forces around. That oppression is often shown in the form of "The Big Victor Mature".
