THE MONKEES DELIVER ROCK ‘N’ ROLL, NOSTALGIA AND PLENTY OF SMILES IN CLEVELAND – CONCERT REVIEW
At their triumphant show at the Lakewood Civic Auditorium on Nov. 17, the Monkees were indeed ‘too busy singing to put anybody down’ as their nearly 30-song set proved. Nostalgia is a crazy creature. It taunts and teases as it pulls a tear, and tries its best to give you that warm all over glow. It can be both good and bad. Thankfully in the hands of the Monkees, it was all good. This was a show custom made for the diehard fans, nothing less and certainly a lot more...
Speaking With... Peter Tork of The Monkees 11.16.12
How many bands out there can lay claim to a signature walk? The Monkees sure can. Their arms-over-shoulders, foot-crossover-step walk became their calling card. And then there was all that music that touched a chord with a generation of teens and young adults already rocked by the Rolling Stones and simply mad about the invading Beatles...
Spoilers: Listen to this band: The Monkees bring joy, energy to reunion show
After last year's great Monkees reunion tour with Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork, one had to wonder how this surprise 2012 reunion without Jones and with Michael Nesmith, who was missing last year, would compare...
The Monkees are just trying to be friendly, 40 years on
The Monkees haven't toured together in more than four decades, so it seemed only logical that at a rehearsal this week in North Hollywood, the band's three surviving members might not be in sync.

Monkees Delight Believers in Reunion Tour Kickoff
When the Monkees stepped onstage at Escondido's California Center for the Arts on Thursday night, the packed audience greeted them with an eruption of screams. For a band that once regularly got mobbed by packs of teenage girls, it must've felt like old times...
Monkees tour to perform a classic album
In the summer of 2011, The Monkees -- Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Davy Jones -- toured (including a show at Saratoga's Mountain Winery). They played to packed houses and earned some of the best reviews of their careers. It seemed like the group would go on forever...
Micky Dolenz on the Monkees' Reunion With Michael Nesmith
Earlier this month, Monkees fans got the shocking news that reclusive guitarist Michael Nesmith will hit the road with the surviving members of the band for a fall tour. "It's shocking to us, too," says Monkee drummer-singer Micky Dolenz. "It just caught us all by surprise. It wasn't this massive plan that people had been concocting for years or months or anything. It sort of happened organically."
Q&A: Michael Nesmith on His Surprising Return to the Monkees
When Davy Jones tragically passed away in February, many Monkees fans presumed it was the end of the group. Even members of the band thought it was probably over. "There is a faint chance we'll continue," Peter Tork told Rolling Stone. "I don't know whether we could structure something without Davy. I had a couple of thoughts, but I don't know if they're workable." ...
