The Monkees

In January 1986, The Monkees performed a notable concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, featuring Mike Nesmith joining the other three members for an encore. At this time, The Monkees had recently experienced a resurgence in popularity largely due to a series of reunion tours and the release of their 1986 album "Then & Now... The Best of The Monkees," which included new material as well as classic hits. This live recording highlights the band's ability to reconnect with fans and showcases their enduring appeal, even as they navigated the complexities of their legacy. The performance included iconic songs like "Listen to the Band" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday," emphasizing their distinctive blend of pop and rock. Interestingly, this concert represented a rare moment where all four members performed together, revitalizing the nostalgia of their original fan base while attracting new listeners, demonstrating their lasting impact on music culture.
