Peter Tork Tribute

Today marks 60 years since The Monkees first premiered on NBC. The first episode to air was “Royal Flush,” although, in true Monkees fashion, it wasn't the first one we actually filmed. Typical for us to be already out of order before people had even seen us. What followed was more than any of us could have imagined: the records, the tours, the fans, the Emmy, the reruns, the revivals, and all these years of people just like you telling me what the show and the music have meant to them. Tonight, I get to celebrate that anniversary in the city where it all began. Los Angeles, come celebrate with me tonight at The United Theater on Broadway for Micky Dolenz Celebrates 60 Years of The Monkees. Bring your singing voice. I’ll bring the tambourine!

We’re coming up on a very special Monkees anniversary in September. The Monkees first aired on NBC on September 12, 1966, and 60 years later, I’ll be in Los Angeles on September 12 with Micky Dolenz Celebrates 60 Years of The Monkees. I guess that means I have no excuse for forgetting the date! The next year, the show won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, which was a very nice surprise for a group of people who spent a great deal of time running around, falling over furniture, and trying to look like we knew what was happening. So here’s my question for you: What was your first Monkees memory? The show, the records, a concert, a rerun, a parent’s record collection, or something else entirely? And if you’re in Los Angeles, come celebrate with us on September 12. You'll find all the info at MickyDolenz.com #TheMonkees #MickyDolenz

There are certain songs that bring an entire room together from the very first note, and “I’m a Believer” is certainly one of them. Every night, I get to look out and see people who first heard it in 1966 singing alongside fans who discovered it decades later. That rush never gets old! I wanna hear from you: Which Monkees song should always have a place in the set? #MickyDolenz #TheMonkees
