R.I.P. Davy Jones, one of the lead singers of The Monkees - 1986 MTV Awards 

Made my childhood the happiest ever! Now they make my elderly years happy. I'm first generation Monkee fan. Nearly 70 years old. Love them forever 💘

I was 11 years old and I grew up with them, they opened my eyes to pop, I am very grateful, I admire them, I will never forget them, thanks for everything to the 4 of them.

I thank these guys for making me happy. I'm 61 now but I definitely grew up with them and they were a huge musical influence in my life

Thank you "The Monkees" for making my childhood happier and unforgettable!!!

Born in 74.....This was the picture on my wall and ceiling too now that I think Of it.as a teenager ..I met Davy many times in my life, He was an amazing man...Always took good care of his fans....He had a big heart!!!

These guys brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. Not sure what is more important than that at the end of the day.

Great voices !!!! They blend so we'll all 4 of them. Just had to be!!!!! So gifted!!!!! Hit after hit song after song they bring the house down ! On Earth and in Heaven! Robin M. Rock on guys your what singers are all about !

So much energy and full of life. I love them all but to me Davy was the heart and soul of the group. He could sure get the crowd going! Rest In Peace Davy, Peter, and Mike. Keep strong Micky!

In response to comment 8502. I'm almost 70 too and I'm likewise a first generation Monkees fan. I will NEVER outgrow my appeal for their music.

This is a priceless A phenomenal group of guys who gave us so many great songs and GOOD TIMES. Once a Monnkees fan always a Monnkees fan. Thankyou for these incredible moments

I think about my older sister who died at 53 when I watch this video. She loved the Monkeys.

missing David and Peter,still love them all

1 of my fav memories of the mid to late 1960's are the Monkees.

They were a great band weren't they!

My grandson was born the day Davy died. I held that baby with love and tears

Peter was smoking 🔥here!! Love Peter so much! 😍 😢

It looks like Davy saves his energy for their concerts, when I saw them at the Greek Theater on Sept. 7, 1986 ( one day after my birthday) they were running, jumping all over the stage at times, Davy REALLY had that audience by the neck and he DOES NOT let go - takes off his white coat and throws it across the stage - running and singing "Valleri!"...

A fantastic group...so many memories.

Davy was the best singer of the Monkees He is in a better place now.

Had pictures up all over my room as a kid from this night :) My first true love :) Davy was a doll and nice to humans...most people forget how to do this....I still smile to see his Beautiful face....I enjoyed spending time with him...he taught me a lot....RIP

Such a great loss he will always be missed but thankfully we have such an amazing legacy that they all lefted us for all time we are truly blessed 🤩

I Miss Davy Jones

Best toe tapping song ever. Love them Monkees 💕. Will always have a crush on Peter.

It's great to see the Monkeys singing the songs. Love Davy and Micky outfits. Wow outstanding. Linda Hart.

Que pena não termos mais entre nós o Davy e o Peter.

I remember 1986 and the rebirth of the Monkees..When I saw the tour with my 1st girlfriend(Hi Kim!),I recognized Micky and Peter instantly despite not seeing any pics of them since the 60's..But I didnt recognize Davy..He looked SO different from 60's..:)

Thanks! R.I.P Davy !

When Davy died, my heart stopped beating...

Amazing!

Gotta love Davy's mullet! I saw them on this tour, they were playing San Diego on my 12th birthday, and to say I was excited is an understatement, lol.

Beautiful

Gosh, I remember seeing this on TV. Loved Davy's hair with the highlights! I have such great memories of the 96-97 tour. RIP Davy.

RIP to both davey and peter

Cómo olvidar los? Son parte de mi historia. Enamorada por siempre de David Jones.

I think I have a VHS of this somewhere...this REALLY brings back memories! I became a Monkees fan thanks to their 20th Anniversary Reunion. I remember they were being criticized for being "old;" I guess back then, if a performer was in his/her 40s, he/she was considered old(some performer was mimicking them by singing their theme song and moving a walker, saying, "Why couldn't my mother invent White Out," referring to Mike Nesmith's mother). I was 16 then. I'd thought, "Gosh, I was born too late!" and "I think Davy is trying to fit in with that hairstyle." I'd seen the Monkees perform as a trio 9 times with the energy of men HALF their age. Additionally I saw Davy perform solo twice and met him personally three times in which I got his autograph(and a kiss!)...February 29, 2012 would be a day of absolute shock and heartbreak for me...and I believe those who knew Davy would agree. Since then, I've been unable to go to another Monkees show because to face the realization that Davy won't be there--though I've heard that they use videos of him, but it's not the same--would be even more heartbreaking. I think back to what Micky had said when Mike joined them for the tribute tour right after Davy passed; it was something to the effect of, "I was waiting for Davy...then I realized he wasn't there." Rest in peace, David Thomas Jones.

How I recall that no sooner did I want to consult Davy Jones on Facebook that he'd passed away.

Loved the amazing Monkees back in the. Yhgffhc lol

Grupo maravilhoso, lindas recordações.

A true talent

(Crying) I still miss you..Davy.

En los 60's muchos los criticaron, calificandolos de "producto" comercial de la industria de la música, mala copia de The Beatles, Pero realmente son muy buenos, hasta hoy sus temas siguen vigentes

I remember The Monkees sitcom, my favorite show as a 6 yr old ... maybe re-runs ?

Awesome 🙌

Idolos da minha juventude. Amava todos eles, principalmente Mike Nesmith. Amo ainda.

Davy Jones forever...te amarei eternamente...

Then on February 21, 2019 Peter Tork passed away from complications of adenoids cystic carcinoma.

they. deserved. a. award. still. do

I saw them in concert four times. I saw them in the late 60's annd then took both my kids to see them, one in 1977, and one in 1987... both kids were three when they went. I wish I could have taken my grandson who was three, the year we lost Davy.

I thought they were the bomb back then. I knew Micky Dolenz wasn't really playing on those videos but i figured it was only cuz it was a video not a sound recording and sound would be added later. Eventually they all played an instrument or instruments on later albums. But to be fair, it absolutely was their voices on the recordings. No Milli Vanilli act here. Numerous other period bands used studio musicians. Beach Boys and others. The Monkees deserve their due in my opinion. Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork did play even on early albums btw. I listen to those LPs now and the sound is so primitive, raw and unprocessed or run through the effects. To me their stuff still holds up today. Mike Nesmith (Texas boy) wrote their best stuff. I especially like "What Am I Doin' Hanging' 'round"

I am old enough to remember the show and how much I enjoyed it, it never crossed my mind once that they were fake musicians. They were musicians who were hired to be actors.

Love it

Davy passed away in 2012 and then 8 years later, Peter passed away in 2019.

Thanks for this! My one favorite childhood music!!!!

sniff.... love this

r.i.p

Rest in Peace Peter.

Damn Davy Jones and Donny Osmond were the best and sext teen agers Favy back in the sixties and eighties and Donny Osmond in the seventies and still is today

Certainly awesome! Thanks for the comment!

Los veo y me lleno de añoranza 😭😭q juventud la mía cuando los escuchaba y me ponía a bailar de a brinquito los amo The monkees

Un excelente grupo de mi juventud..

MTV made the band popular again by playing their old TV show on their cable channel. I saw them in concert during this time (mid 80's) and was surprised at all the young people in the audience. That was the power of MTV back then. Is that station still on? What about VH1? RIP Davy.

Man, the energy they had (The Monks and their band) for those shows! You can tell they were reveling in the love the audience was giving them. Too bad they didn't have a third "Believer" song to make a trifecta medley! (Oh, and screw MTV for later pulling out the rug from under them!)

Yes! Both Davy and Micky are my favourites!
