They enter like a Vegas nostalgia act, but these Monkees don't monkey around. Live Summer Tour captures Mickey Dolenz, Davey Jones, and Peter Tork in high spirits, still going strong 35 years after they (along with absentee Michael Nesmith) were assembled as TV's infamous "Prefab Four." They're backed by a solid band, but this performance proves that the Monkees were always a legitimate pop ensemble. Peter plays guitar, keyboards, and banjo with equal facility (his vocals remain charmingly average); Mickey's a decent drummer (and "Goin' Down" is still his vocal dazzler); and Davey drives the little girls (now middle-aged) into a fond teen-idol reverie. Recorded in summer 2001, this hour-long set is surprisingly polished, blending pop rockers ("She Hangs Out") with ballads ("Daydream Believer") and even a bit of Monkees psychedelia ("Randy Scouse Git"). The comedic chemistry is still there, too, making this a lively set capped by "Pleasant Valley Sunday," still the greatest song ever written about the perils of suburbia. --Jeff Shannon

I have been a fan of the Monkees since I was 13 back in the 1980s. And let me just say that this video does not disappoint! They've still got that old magic! Every time I watch this concert I am almost dancing and singing along by the end.
A lot of people say that Peter left the group after this concert because the Monkees fought a lot. But let me remind people that the Monkees would not have lasted so long if they didn't argue, or have big egos, or whatever. The Monkees started out as a television ... Read More

Excellent show. Though image is standard video quality, sound is fine 5.1 DTS or Dolby Surround. Monkees fans will love it, as well as non-fans that like the music gender. Fans will immediatelly miss the presence of Mike Nesmith (he prefered to invest in his solo carreer by then). He is remembered by the group with humor during the show. Even a sister-in-law that didn't like Monkees loved the show. My 3 year old son loves it, too. The high moments include Peter with the banjo, David with his gesture dancing ... Read More

You know how it goes: Aging rock stars from 35 years ago; a bunch of "old men" strutting around on the stage; creaky voices...
None of that is true on this DVD. Micky, Peter, and Davy seemed to have the times of their lives on stage. You can feel that there is no apparent pressure to perform well; they're comfortable, animated, energetic, and they still sing dang well, especially Micky.
Sadly, no Mike...but you don't really notice that he's missing after a few minutes. Woolhat's gone...oh ... Read More

Thant's right;
Michael Nesmith, What's your problem?
You dump on the fans. Stop being a pompous dillweed and join the other 3 on a U.S. tour. Believe me, you are not "too good"
for it (and stop sniffing all that "Liquid Paper").
Do you have a pair? Please show us!

I actually thought the sound and picture quality were fine on this DVD, no complaints from me there. But I was disappointed in the performance, in that instrument-wise the songs are mostly performed by unknown outside musicians, rather than the Monkees themselves. Actually Peter really does play a variety of instruments here (and quite well), but otherwise it's mainly a Monkee sing-along to the sounds of a large generic backup band. There is one song where Micky plays the drums - ironically it's one written by Mike ... Read More
