Met Just One Monkee

[buttercupkitty50]

Meow,

Met Davy in March 1989 in New York State (can't spell the town). He looked bored and a bit tired of signing books. 

Saw Peter give a Q & A at the 1986 Convention, but didn't go up to meet him.  And at the Concert w/Davy & Micky.

Never met/saw Mike ever, only saw Micky at the Concert.   

Hope to see the new Threesomes next summer, if they tour.

I've seen all of them in concert a few times and Davy solo once..He's the only one I've ever met. If you get a chance to and they do go on tour again, you should really make an effort to see them BK. I finally saw Mike this last summer and I'm glad I went, even though it entailed a loooonnnnnggggg drive home into the wee hours of the morning! I had skipped it the year before when he joined Peter and Micky and regretted it the very next day after the concert when I saw some pictures posted on the internet. And it really was fun hearing different songs in their sets than what they played on the 2011 tour. I'm also glad I saw that tour since it regrettably turned out to be Davy's last.

Meow,

Hey RJ...How's it hanging?

If the remaining Monks do a summer tour, and go anywhere near my state, I'm going to try and get a ticket. I'm disabled, so maybe the theatre/arena will have a place for handicapped people. I don't need to be super close, as I'm not a super fan of the remaining three.

I'd like to hear what they play, now that dear Davy is gone.  Does Mike stage-walk, or just stand behind a mic?

Wonder if the fans will ever know the truth of the 2011 tour?

I'm sure any venue would have accessible areas for you, and most likely down front or at least on the end of an aisle. The one I attended this summer was at an outdoor amphitheater and I saw several people being helped by staff. I think you just need to talk to the venue ahead of time.

Mike stood in his spot most of the time unless the three of them moved together in the middle--but no, he doesn't run around like Davy did, LOL. Here's the set list from this last tour I found:
Last Train to Clarksville
Papa Gene's Blues
Your Auntie Grizelda
You Told Me
Sunny Girlfriend
You Just May Be the One
No Time
Shades of Gray
Randy Scouse Git
For Pete's Sake
Mary, Mary
The Door Into Summer
She
Sweet Young Thing
Goin' Down
Porpoise Song (Theme From "Head")
Can You Dig It?
Daddy's Song
Circle Sky
As We Go Along
Long Title: Do I Have to Do This All Over Again?
What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round?
Daydream Believer
Listen to the Band
Pleasant Valley Sunday

Meow,

Thanks, rj Sweetie. Sorry it took me so long to respond.

I'm hoping they tour this summer, but I've read it might be 2016.

RJ, I have seen M,M, & P solo.

The first time I saw Peter was with his duet partner James Lee Stanley in 1997. The second time was in 2003 with his band Shoe Suede Blues.

When I saw him in 97' he was temperamental and basically in a pissy mood during the meet and greet. Even at one point during the show he lost his temper due to a fan's camera flash snafu. His performance with James Lee was brilliant though and I could tell they enjoyed performing together. Great acoustic show!

in 2003, with Shoe Suede Blues, Peter was in a great mood and having a blast catering to the fans on the dance floor with up-tempo blues/soul set list.

I have seen Micky solo twice. The first time was during the Happy Together Tour and the second was with Peter Noone and David Cassidy.

Micky has a lot of high energy on the stage. There was no difference in the performances, he did the same songs both times. I wonder if it is different when he just headlines rather than having to do a set and hurry off stage.


Mike's solo concert was great. He really took the audience on a journey with telling a story before he sang each song. He always started each story with "Imagine this or Picture it.." kind of like Sophia from the Golden Girls, lol! It was Top notch! I wouldn't mind seeing him solo again, it was a treat.

A lot of people forget that Mike was also a pioneer in the country rock genre/sound that put the Eagles on the map.
