Papa Genes Blues The Monkees The Mike & Micky Show Sydney Opera House 18 June 2019 

RIP Nez. The quiet (unsung) talent of the group.

A great songwriter and genius. He is Monkeeing around in Monkee heaven with Davy and Peter! The Monkees and Mike will live forever in our hearts and memories!

So precious to see him doing this live, especially now. RIP, MN.

I can't tell you of the grin on my face. All his songs puts me in a great mood!!!

Bye Mike. He was so underrated by mainstream, but not by true music lovers. We always know who makes good music. He added so much to all arts.

A GREAT song...PERIOD! Thanks Mike for all the great music.

Rest in peace Mike ! Mike was a good singer ! Its sad now that the only last Monkee left is now Micky the other 3 are now gone but never forgotten !

Thank you beautiful Mike! ❤❤❤

I enjoyed The Monkees I’m glad to be a fan of Mike and Micky.

AWWWWW... @2:49 that smile and joyful comment! 😍Mickey's harmonies are beautiful. Thank you for uploading this #RogerD! RIP Robert Michael Nesmith 🙏

Sadly another talent from my wonder years has left us today.

We love you Mike. Miss you buddy. 🌹

Miss you, Nez. One of my heroes, just such a talented, wise, creative man.

I love you forever Nez

He was the quiet Monkee for sure but so talented. He was the MAIN reason the Monkees toured for real as he pushed to play their own instruments & to prove how great they could be....not just 4 goofy guys acting up, the music was real & Mike's talent unsurpassed.

So good to hear & see Nez looking so good!

So fun and touching to see him surprised and happy the crowd is singing along. Love Micky on harmony.

Here i am in my 60s and Im still so sad at Mike's passing. Im sad about Davy and Peter too. As a kid I admired these guys and bought the albums. Now only Mickey is left so the Monkees died with Mike Nesmith. God rest them and God bless Mickey Dolenz.

Saw Mike at the Palais St Kilda in 1976/7…… even met him back stage…..so cool for a high school kid…

For I love you and i know you love 💘 me. Truly that is all we need.

Was at that show ... a sheer joy

Kicking myself that i never knew abt the monkees back in 2019, i couldve seen them here in australia. But now, its too late. Rip Mike ilysm, fav monkee

The special thing about these Monkees they played rock and country music and even a few love songs God bless.

Nice song👍🙏😍🤩

Of all the talented artists, I agree that Papa Nez was surely at the top of the list , for not only was he a great songwriter and musician, but also a pioneer of Music Television!!! RIP DAVY, MIKE AND PETER, definitely 'if there's a rock-'n'-roll heaven, then you know they got a helluva band'!!!!

He looks so different from how he looked in the 60’s but he sounds exactly the same when he sings.

They're coming back around this year... finally get to see them for the first time! Stoked!!!

He was so talented. Why did it take him getting into the Monkees to get recognized. 😳

Oh, it hurts me a lot. But I’m glad to know he spend his last days doing what he loved to do.

My favMonkee

Michael 💞💞💞

Rip...legend

Thanks for sharing. Great to see.

Beautiful

He forgot to wink at the camera at the end of the song. RIP Mike.

Mike was my favorite and Micky second favorite.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great to see Michael Nesmith on the 12 string Guitar ( I think it was a Gretche ) but, I'm not sure. Oh well, life goes on! 😊😁

Show

he makes fun of this tune in one episode, what a card Mike was

Goddamn! Love that twinkle in his eyes!!😍

I was a little disappointed in the middle lead section. I was wondering if they would have been able to pull off James Burton's solo licks. But a good version by Nez on the singing part. A we bit slower then the recorded version. I wonder if it was recorded at the tempo Michael sang it at now and Boyce and Hart just speeded up the recording?

So does anybody know exactlky who "Papa Gene" was? I'm pretty sure it wasn't Roddenberry, and I doubt it was Senator McCarthy, so who was this "Papa Gene"? Anybody?

うわー…いいお爺ちゃんだけど、素敵なお爺ちゃんだなー
