I remember reading something Micky said about all four of them considering a reunion at the end of the 2011. It's really too bad that this couldn't have happened while they were all still here.
But I'm still excited! I just saw Micky last month at the California State Fair and he had a ton of energy. PS- Egohanger, your signature makes me laugh every time I read it. That might be one of my favorite sessions ever. Title: Re: Monkees Reunion w/ Nesmith Post by: Chocolate Shake Man on August 08, 2012, 12:28:46 PM Wow!

Yeah, but then it might not have happened had they all still been here. Title: Re: Monkees Reunion w/ Nesmith Post by: I.

Title: Re: Monkees Reunion w/ Nesmith Post by: Chocolate Shake Man on August 09, 2012, 12:45:46 PM In an interview with Rolling Stone, Mike said that they would be basing part of the concert at least off of the Headquarters album. Not sure exactly what that means, but it seemed to suggest to me that they were going to maybe do a set that is strictly Headquarters material.

After I ran my order through, I tried to see what seats would come up for the highest price (around $100), and Row A was still available fifteen minutes after the start of ticket sales. I don't think there's too much interest, going by that.

Although I love the idea of Nez back with the group, it just feels like "what's the point?" with Davy gone. But I assume they will work some kind of tribute to Davy into the show. He was always the most enthusiastic about being a Monkee, Nez has gone through periods where he didn't want anything to do with the group. Okay, how about a reunion of the First National Band? Who is alive that could replace Red Rhodes? |
