Our Take

In the swinging Sixties, when rock giants ruled the airwaves and harmonies filled the air like magic, there emerged a band that dared to challenge the status quo. The Monkees, a group of lovable misfits turned fab Four impersonators, took the music scene by storm, capturing hearts with their infectious tunes and wacky antics. And now, dear readers, we have been blessed with a rare glimpse into their world with the release of "MONKEES Live In Japan 1968."

From the moment the opening chords of "Last Train to Clarksville" ring out, you know you're in for a wild ride. The energy is palpable, the crowd screaming in delight as Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith take the stage. The chemistry between them is undeniable, each member bringing their own unique flair to the performance. Dolenz's killer drum solos, Tork's groovy bass lines, and Jones' heart-melting vocals all combine to create a sound that is truly one-of-a-kind.

But it's not just the music that makes this album a must-listen. The banter between songs is pure comedic gold, with the band's off-the-cuff humour shining through. Whether they're poking fun at each other or joking with the audience, the Monkees prove that they're not just talented musicians – they're entertainers in every sense of the word.

So, dear readers, do yourself a favour and dive into the world of the Monkees with "MONKEES Live In Japan 1968." It's a trip down memory lane that's sure to leave you smiling from ear to ear.

About the artist

The Monkees

The Monkees may have started as a manufactured group, but they quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the wild and wacky world of 1960s pop music. Formed in 1966 for a television show about a fictional band, the Monkees soon became a real-life phenomenon, churning out hit after hit and capturing the hearts of fans around the globe. With their infectious blend of pop, rock, and psychedelia, the Monkees crafted a sound that was as unique as it was catchy. From the jangly guitars of "Last Train to Clarksville" to the dreamy harmonies of "Daydream Believer," their music was a heady swirl of melody and mischief that captivated audiences and critics alike. Despite facing criticism for their manufactured origins, the Monkees proved themselves to be serious musicians in their own right. With members like Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith each bringing their own talents to the table, the band's sound was eclectic and endlessly entertaining. Over the years, the Monkees have enjoyed a rollercoaster ride of success and turmoil, with breakups, reunions, and tragedy all playing a part in their tumultuous history. But through it all, their music has endured, standing the test of time and cementing their legacy as one of the most iconic bands of the swinging sixties. So, next time you feel like taking a trip down memory lane, why not put on a Monkees record and let their infectious tunes transport you back to a simpler, groovier time? Just remember, as the old saying goes: "Hey hey, we're the Monkees, and people say we monkey around" - and we wouldn't have it any other way.
