Dolenz-Nesmith Tour In 2018!

I'd say the average price for the Beacon is probably around $80-90. Pretty much the same for the Paramount in Huntington, as well.

 

I paid $99 a ticket for the Paramount on Long Island, and I was able to get eighth row near the center.

That was the cheapest for a really good seat. Lesser seats run $69; “premium” seats a row or two in front of us were running $250 a pop, and that was through the venue itself!

 

Well, clearly there are at least a few good things about living in the flyover states.

 

I think for $250, you also were allowed in for the sound-check. For that much you should be able to grab a burger with Mike and Micky afterwards...

 

I would expect to play bass.

 

** POTENTIAL SET SPOILERS AHEAD **

Circe Link posted a picture of Wayne Avers at one of the rehearsals to her Instagram and a songlist is visible on his music stand. The complete list of songs, in order, follows below. Granted, these are just rehearsals so who knows if something will make the final cut, stay in the set list for the duration or be switched out, be used only for the soundcheck, etc. But if you added the "stock" Monkees set songs (Clarksville, Believer, Steppin' Stone, Daydream, PVS, LTTB), it would be a 26 song set list. I think this is reasonably comparable to the length of recent Monkees tour sets.















Good Clean Fun
Sunny Girlfriend
Salesman
Door Into Summer
The Girl I Knew Somewhere (marked M, for Micky singing lead presumably)
Steam Engine
Love Is Only Sleeping
Birth of An Accidental Hipster
St. Matthew
Circle Sky
Me & Magdalena

Acoustic:
Papa Gene's Blues
Randy Scouse Git
Nine Times Blue
I'll Spend My Life With You
Different Drum

Take a Giant Step
Auntie's Municipal Court
You Told Me
What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round

 

That's enough for me. Looking to see what's closest to me.

 

Wow!

 

I'm levitating. Never thought I'd hear many of these live. I don't care how many octaves lower they are.

 

Anyone have a screenshot from Circe's instagram...

..of the setlist

 

No Peter Tork?

 

Holy S*#T! “Salesman”, “The Door Into Summer”, AND “Love is Only Sleeping”!?!

I think I’ve died and gone to heaven. This is like a bucket list-list!

 

AND “Steam Engine”! AND “St. Matthew” AND “Auntie’s Municipal Court”!

Best set list ever.

 

Guess Mike got tired of singing “You Just May Be The One”

 

No Porpoise song or As We Go Along

 

Porpoise Song I don't need, the magnificence of that studio version can't be touched. But yea, if there's an acoustic portion As We Go Along would have been a great bone to throw to the fanatics

 

Oh yeah, in my excitement I overlooked the absence of “As We Go Along”

 

I saved a screenshot and cropped it, but the image was pretty blurry so I opted for transcribing instead.

 

Nine Times Blue!

 

"Salesman" -
Would really be sweet if they went for the 68' Budokan version!

 

Haven't they played "As We Go Along" on every recent tour but '16? And "Porpoise" on all of them? They might be considered standards at this point that don't need to be woodshedded like the rest of the ones on that list - and you know that list isn't complete because none of the big hits are on there.

That said... "Love Is Only Sleeping"!!!!!

 

I saw Micky and Peter 2015 Huntington LI ... I don't believe As we go Along or the Porpoise was in the 2015 setlist

 

I may be the only one, but disappointed that they didn't include Admiral Mike.

 

I was there, too (they played Huntington in '12 & '14) and they definitely did the whole Head block both shows.

 

What's the song everyone would most like to see that is not on the list?

For me it is If I Ever Get To Saganaw Again
