My first concert at Brisbane’s Festival Hall in ‘67 nearly drowned out by the screaming it was a life altering experience … contrary to public opinion they really could play.
First time hearing this! 👍👍 It's been disputed that the monkees were offered Sugar Sugar, he could be thinking of a separate meeting held later or perhaps another song with a similar title (like Sugar man which is an outtake from the headquarters sessions), but also... Sugar Sugar hadn't even been written yet at that time.
Even though their music was written for them, these guys still delivered vocal and acting performances that helped make the songs and the band huge hits. I loved watching them play every week on TV at seven years old, and I still love it on RU-vid at 64! RIP Davey, Peter, and Mike.
I remember them being on Monday night at 7 PM. It seems kind of early to be on at seven but I’m 72 years old right now. All I know is my sister and I would sit in front of the TV and watch the monkeys every week. We lived breathed eat monkees. 🙈🙉🙊
