Micky Dolenz Says He Feels His Monkees Bandmates Onstage Every Night

He honors Davy Jones, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith through archival video plus performances of their songs.

Overview

  • Speaking on a Feb. 2 TalkShopLive episode, Dolenz described how performing keeps his bandmates' presence alive.
  • He recalled a time after their deaths when he avoided footage because he would "choke up."
  • His setlists include songs originally sung by Jones, Tork, or Nesmith, with archival video playing behind him.
  • Dolenz is the sole surviving Monkee following the deaths of Jones (2012), Tork (2019), and Nesmith (2021).
  • He attributes the group's lasting pull to fans who first embraced the music during formative years.
