I got to see the Monkees from the first row on one of their final tours as a
threesome...i won a contest on a radio station by singing "Daydream Believer"
in Elvis' voice.
Back in the day, "I Wanna Be Free" was one of the songs that "made the young
girls cry." It was quite a sight to turn around at the Post Gazette Pavillion
that night and see those former young girls with their own daughters tearing up
as Davy sang the song.
About mid-way through the number, A giant moth (or something like one) was
flying around the stage. At one point, Davy yells "Pull!" and mimics shooting
the insect outta the sky. Heh heh...didn't Billy Joel say "leave a tender
moment alone?"
Doesn't look like we'll be seeng Mr. Jones and company reuniting, however.
Davy's been quoted in a few publications recently saying he "never wants to
work with those guys again."
